Maintaining the equipment
The equipment does not require any particular
maintenance.
You should perform regular function tests
to ensure the equipment functions
correctly. The intervals between tests
depend on the type of use and operating
conditions.
For critical applications you should monitor
the equipment continuously.
Cleaning the equipment
Check the equipment at regular intervals for
contamination. The intervals depend on the amount
of dirt in the system. The operator must determine
the maintenance intervals.
Malfunctions may occur if the equipment is
used with different types of condensate:
The following condensates in particular
cause problems:
very oily condensates
condensates that resinify or become
gummy
condensates that recrystallize
condensates that contain solid matter.
In these cases check the equipment at
regular intervals for contamination and, if
necessary, remove dirt deposits.
To reduce contamination we recommend
installing a sedimentation vessel or a dirt
pocket arrangement upstream of the
equipment.
In normal cases, the components inside the
equipment do not need cleaning.
To clean the equipment completely, you must
remove the lid and take out the stage plunger.
To remove dirt deposits rinse the equipment
with fresh water and wipe it with a clean, lint-
free cloth.
To remove any persistent residues use a
cleaning agent that is suitable for the material
and carefully wipe the equipment with a clean,
lint-free cloth.
Remove any parts that are dirty and cannot be
cleaned properly.
