Under certain applications this product:
•
Can result in surfaces that present burn (hot) hazards to the
end user including potential exposure to the media being
processed by/through the product or equipment.
•
Can have sharp or protruding edges or surfaces. When
working on or with this product additional care may be
necessary to avoid contact with these sharp surfaces.
•
Can result in surfaces that present slip or loss of footing
conditions to the end user. Additional measures should be
considered during installation to prevent the collection of
fluids/media or the occurrence of slip or trip hazards.
•
Can be installed in poorly ventilated or confined areas, or
in areas that may contain gases other than oxygen, which
can lead to a risk of oxygen depletion and/or personnel
asphyxiation. Additional protection shall be used in such
installations.
•
Can be installed in areas subjecting the end user to
cramped or strained working positions. Additional policies
and procedures shall be considered to reduce or remove the
end user exposure to these conditions.
•
Can produce elevated noise levels outside allowable
limits for end user exposure. Site monitoring and testing
shall be performed to verify any need for engineering or
administrative controls to eliminate or reduce hazardous
noise levels.
•
Can be installed, serviced, or maintained at elevated
heights. The end user shall properly use fall protection and
appropriate safety equipment and practices to prevent the
dropping of tools or equipment when working at heights.
•
Can require manual or assisted lifting. It is the end user’s
responsibility to ensure the lifting means (product lifting
points or equipment) are properly installed, torqued, and
inspected for use in accordance with local codes and
standards.
•
Can shift during shipping/transportation. The end user shall
take all precautions to determining a load shift and avoid
harm.
•
Can potentially release process/pressure if defects exist.
Additional policies and procedures shall be considered to
reduce or remove the end user exposure to these conditions.
•
Can contain residual process media or stored energy
(eg. trapped pressures, loaded springs, heavy shifting or
unstable parts, etc.).
•
Horizontal orientation or installations exposure the end user
to additional risks for assembly/disassembly.
•
Proper techniques shall be followed to reduce the end users
exposure to these hazards.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) and safety equipment shall
be used in accordance with local requirements.
Note: Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) shall be available
and reviewed in accordance with local requirements.
Products shall be installed, serviced, and maintained in
accordance with all local and national codes and standards
by properly qualified (licensed/certified/ trained) personnel.
Prior to installing, maintaining, servicing, or inspecting the
product or equipment, ensure the system or process is in a safe
state (e.g., depressurized, adjusted to ambient temperature,
properly secured, process properly contained/ isolated, etc.)
Prior to commissioning or returning the equipment to service,
local codes and standards may require that testing (e.g.,
overpressure, leakage, mechanical or electrical operation, etc.)
be conducted to verify the installation. Additional protection
shall be taken into consideration to protect the end user from
exposure to the hazards associated to the failure modes of the
testing, potential hazards should leaks be found, etc.
Installation of this device in proximity of people, or
property that may be adversely affected should the
device fail, leak, generate excessive noise, or other
such hazard, should be minimized and/or precautions
taken to reduce the associated hazards. Loitering or
gathering around this type of equipment should be
avoided.
Recommendations prior to Installation into Pipeline
The desuperheater should be properly prepared and configured
as per the recommendations below prior to installation to ensure
the best performance.
Note: The functional desuperheater nozzles should not be
installed when connecting into the pipeline or during flushing.
Working Space Requirements
At a minimum, an envelope 3 feet (1m) from any
working surface on the desuperheater body should be
maintained to facilitate easy access.
Approprite Lift Points
The Desuperheater assembly may be lifted by the body. Take
note of the C.O.G. for the assembly or component to be lifted.
Straps should be used around the desuperheater pipe in the
horizontal orientation. Care must be taken to avoid damage
to any installed fixtures and accessories throughout the lifting
process.
Do not lift any portion of the assemblyby the water
ring or related piping connections.
The center of gravity (C.O.G.) for each component and assembly
is included on their respective drawings for reference. Appropriate
lifting locations are included if necessary.
