3. Preface
This manual details and illustrates the main components and the functional working principle of the energy recovery unit
stand alone version for use on 11 to 315 kW oil injected compressors.
For the sake of convenience, the terms “energy recovery” and “energy recovery unit” may be abbreviated as “ER” and “ER
unit”.
4. Safety precautions
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas. Processing of any other gas requires
additional safety precautions typical to the application which are not included herein.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence some statements may not apply to
your machine.
All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or non-observance of the normal
caution and care required for installation, operation, maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed
by the manufacturer.
4.1. Safety precautions during installation
General precautions
1.
The operator must employ safe working practices and observe all related work safety requirements and regulations.
2.
If any of the following statements does not comply with the applicable legislation, the stricter of the two shall apply.
3.
Installation, operation, maintenance and repair work must only be performed by authorised, trained, specialised
personnel.
4.
The compressor is not considered capable of producing air of breathing quality. For air of breathing quality, the
compressed air must be adequately purified according to the applicable legislation and standards.
5.
Before any maintenance, repair work, adjustment or any other non-routine checks, stop the compressor, press the
emergency stop button, switch off the voltage and depressurise the compressor. In addition, the power isolating switch
must be opened and locked.
6.
Never play with compressed air. Do not apply the air to your skin or direct an air stream at people. Never use the air to
clean dirt from your clothes. When using the air to clean equipment, do so with extreme caution and wear eye
protection.
7.
The owner is responsible for maintaining the unit in safe operating condition. Parts and accessories shall be replaced if
unsuitable for safe operation.
Precautions during installation
1.
The machine must only be lifted using suitable equipment in accordance with the applicable safety regulations. Loose
or pivoting parts must be securely fastened before lifting. It is strictly forbidden to dwell or stay in the risk zone under a
lifted load. Lifting acceleration and deceleration must be kept within safe limits. Wear a safety helmet when working in
the area of overhead or lifting equipment.
2.
Place the machine where the ambient air is as cool and clean as possible. If necessary, install a suction duct. Never
obstruct the air inlet. Care must be taken to minimise the entry of moisture at the inlet air.
3.
Any blanking flanges, plugs, caps and desiccant bags must be removed before connecting the pipes.
4.
Air hoses must be of correct size and suitable for the working pressure. Never use frayed, damaged or worn hoses.
Distribution pipes and connections must be of the correct size and suitable for the working pressure.
5.
The aspirated air must be free of flammable fumes, vapours and particles, e.g. paint solvents, that can lead to internal
fire or explosion.
6.
Arrange the air intake so that loose clothing worn by people cannot be sucked in.
7.
Ensure that the discharge pipe from the compressor to the aftercooler or air net is free to expand under heat and that it
is not in contact with or close to flammable materials.
8.
No external force may be exerted on the air outlet valve; the connected pipe must be free of strain.
9.
If remote control is installed, the machine must bear a clear sign stating: DANGER: This machine is remotely controlled
and may start without warning.
