Manifold Vaporizer System
General
While Chart equipment is designed and built to the most
rigid standards, no piece of mechanical equipment can
ever be made 100% foolproof Strict compliance with
proper safety and handling practices are necessary when
using a cryogenic manifold device or other compressed
gas equipment We recommend that all of our customers
re-emphasize safety and safe handling practices to all their
employees and customers While every possible safety
feature has been designed into the VaporMan 125 manifold
system and safe operations are anticipated, it is essential
that the customer carefully read and fully understand all
WARNING
and
CAUTION
notes listed in this safety
summary and enumerated below
Warning! CO
2
gas is a colorless, odorless,
tasteless gas that displaces
oxygen and does not support
life. The gas is difficult to detect
without assistance of special
equipment. Avoid breathing or
contacting CO
2
in gas, liquid or
solid form.
Exposure to concentrations of more than 3% in air can cause
physical symptoms including unconsciousness, serious
injuries or death Even low concentrations of CO
2
can cause:
• Dizziness, headaches, nausea or disorientation
• Increased respiration or heart rate
• Shortness of breath or rapid suffocation
CO
2
is heavier than air and can collect in low areas such
as basements, stairwells, and confined spaces. Avoid entry
into areas where CO
2
leaks or high concentrations of CO
2
are suspected Enter those areas with caution only after they
have been thoroughly ventilated
Handle liquid so that it will not splash or spill Protect your
eyes and cover skin where the possibility of contact with
liquid CO
2
, cold pipes and equipment, or cold gas exists
Safety goggles or a face shield should be worn at all times
when connecting to fill connections, while filling the tank
and during disconnection from the fill connection. Clean,
insulated gloves that can be easily removed and long sleeves
are recommended for arm and hand protection. Cuffless
trousers should be worn over the shoes to shed spilled liquid
Warning! Before removing cylinder parts
or fittings, completely empty
the liquid cylinder of liquid
and release the entire vapor
pressure in a safe manner.
External valves and fittings
can become extremely cold
and may cause painful burns
to personnel unless properly
protected. Personnel must
wear protective gloves and eye
protection whenever removing
parts or loosening fittings.
Failure to do so may result
in personal injury because of
extreme cold and pressure in
the cylinder.
Caution! Use only replacement
equipment, which is compatible
with carbon dioxide and has
been cleaned for oxygen
use. Do not use regulators,
fittings, hoses, etc., which
have been previously used in a
compressed air environment.
Similarly, do not use oxygen
equipment for compressed air.
Failure to comply with these
instructions may result in
serious damage to the liquid
cylinder.
Caution! The VaporMan 125 unit must be
secured to the floor. Failure to
comply with this procedure may
result in damage to the unit.
