Usage for the intended purpose
The FPS equipment uses booster steam to collect
and transport condensate at intervals that vary
depending on the level. The transport intervals
are controlled by a special float valve.
The equipment may only be used within the
admissible pressure and temperature ratings,
with due consideration of chemical and corrosive
influences.
Usage for the intended purpose also includes
reading and adhering to all instructions in this
manual, particularly the safety notes.
Any other use of the equipment shall be consid-
ered as improper use.
Improper use also includes using equipment
made of materials that are unsuitable for the
fluid used.
