• Intended Use
Do not exceed the maximum working pressure ( according to catalog information ).
Hose assemblies must not be subjected to tension, torsion or compression during operation
through external influences, unless they are specially designed for this. In particular kinking
behind the connection on the nozzle side should be avoided and the hose assembly should be
relieved as much as possible using appropriate devices e.g. a hose balancer.
The materials must be resistant to the medium under operating conditions. Do not fall below
the minimum permissible temperature ( -196 °C ) depending on the medium.
To ensure safe operation, technical and organisational protective measures must be
implemented. If not all hazards can be avoided in this way, effective personal protective
equipment must be provided and used, see chapter 'Safety'.
• Storage
Store hoses in a cool, dry and dust-free place; avoid direct sunlight or UV radiation; shield
nearby heat sources; hose assemblies must not come into contact with substances that could
cause damage.
Hoses and hose assemblies must be stored flat and free of tension and kinks. When stored
in coils the bending radius of 300 mm must not be undercut.
Protective caps must be used to protect the hose assembly and thread. No water may enter
the hose assembly.
Only store as many hose coils on top of each other that no damaging deformation of the lower
hoses occurs.
Permissable ambient temperature range -30° C up to +30° C
• Maintenance
It must be done by an authorised service engineer who is trained to ensure compliance with all
relevant national regulatory conditions.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• Leakage
If uncontrolled and / or permanent gas release to the atmosphere occurs, immediately
stop venting or refuelling.
Push emergency button of dispenser immediately, leave area and
inform station personnel.
If self-service is not possible, please contact a service company specialised and certified in
LNG Service Station installations.
MAINTENANCE
LNG 13 and LNG 25 hose assemblies are corrugated metal hose assemblies made of stainless steel
that may become inoperative due to wear, corrosion and ageing of components. Regular inspections
and maintenance are essential for a safe operation.
Daily visual inspections of the hose assembly by trained personnel should be carried out to ensure
proper function.
The hose assembly condition shall be thoroughly checked during the annual pump maintenance by
competent personnel. Applicable laws, regulations and Codes of Practice have to be followed.
Hose assemblies in unfit condition for use must be immediately replaced.
