BEKOMAT® 31U IF built-in F
3 Proper use
•
The BEKOMAT
®
31U IF built-in F is an electronically level-controlled condensate drain for
compressed-air plants.
•
The device is employed within the permissible performance parameters (see "Technical data").
•
The BEKOMAT
®
31U IF built-in F is able to drain condensate under operating pressure from
the plant components virtually without compressed-air loss.
•
For its function, the BEKOMAT
®
31U IF built-in F requires a supply voltage and an operating pressure
(see "Technical data").
•
As far as the employment in plants with increased demands on compressed air is concerned
(food industry, medical technology, laboratory equipment, special processes etc.), the operator
must decide on measures for the monitoring of the compressed-air quality. These have an effect
on the safety of the subsequent processes and may prevent damage to persons and plants.
•
It is the task of the operator to ensure that the indicated conditions are met during the entire
operating time.
4 Exclusion from the scope of application
•
The BEKOMAT
®
31U IF built-in F as a condensate drain
alone
cannot
guarantee a defined
compressed-air quality, for this purpose, other additional technical devices are required.
•
BEKOMAT
®
31U IF built-in F is
not
suitable for use in plants carrying vacuum or atmospheric
ambient pressure or in ex-areas.
•
The BEKOMAT
®
31U IF built-in F must not be exposed to permanent direct solar or thermal radiation.
•
The BEKOMAT
®
31U IF built-in F must not be installed and operated in areas with an aggressive
atmosphere.
•
The BEKOMAT
®
31U IF built-in F is not heatable and, therefore, not suitable for the use in areas
where frost is likely to occur.
•
The BEKOMAT
®
31U IF built-in F is not suitable for CO
2
plants.
