6.1 Safety instruction
Safety notice!
The device may become very hot as a result of the flow of the sample medium through
it and it must be regularly checked for a good seal. There is a risk of being burnt or
scalded. So appropriate protective clothing should be worn and relevant accident
prevention regulations should be observed.
➢
Current regional safety regulations should be taken into account and followed.
➢
Protective insulation and warning notice may be required.
➢
Until the start-up of an existing or a new plant, the following must be checked:
➢
All works are completed.
➢
The sample cooler is correctly installed.
➢
All the necessary safety devices have been installed.
➢
At start up, the presence of small particles in the fluid (dirt, scale, weld splatters, joint
particles, remains of Teflon tape, etc) may cause an imperfect operation of the cooler. If
this occurs, proceed to an accurate cleaning.
➢
Protection varnishes from pipes and flanges, fats, leftover paint, graphite, etc, should also
be carefully clean, because they can be dissolved in the fluids (like steam) and contaminate
the system.
➢
During operation high flow noises can be heard.
➢
To avoid the risk of scalding, before open or close the sample inlet valve, make sure that
the cooling water it is in the maximum flow.
