KCF 25, 50
4
The waste water destined for indirect discharge must not exceed
a hydrocarbon concentration of 20 ppm.
Please note that the national legal limit values for indirect dis-
charge may vary regionally.
Please check if your KCF type corresponds to
these instructions.
Application:
The KCF unit is designed for the treatment of demulsifiable
compressor condensates in compliance with legal require-
ments. Your local “lower-level water authority” needs to
be notified about the operation of the oil-water separator.

Danger!
Compressed air!
Contact with quickly or suddenly escaping compressed air
or with bursting plant components carries a risk of serious
injury or death.
Caution!
Oil-contaminated condensate!
Oil-contaminated condensate contains substances that
are hazardous both to health and the environment. These
substances may cause irritation or damage to the skin, eyes
and mucous linings. Oil-contaminated condensate must
not be allowed to get into the sewer system, water bodies
or the soil. Contaminated objects have to be cleaned or
disposed of according to the legal regulations.
•
Non-observance can result in injuries or damage to de-
vices! For the installation, the national regulations and
safety instructions in force also need to be observed!
• Only transport the KCF unit when it is empty!
• Do not install the KCF outdoors!
Safety rules:
• It is absolutely essential to observe the present Instructions
for Installation and Operation.
Only use pressure-resistant installation material!
Ensure that condensate cannot squirt or splash onto
persons or objects.
• Protect the KCF against direct exposure to sunlight!
• KCF 50: in the case of installation in a room where there
is a danger of frost, a heating system has to be employed
onl(optional)!
•
Take measures to ensure that
oil or untreated condensate
cannot enter the sewer system in the event of damage!
•
Do not fill any
foreign liquid
or substances into the prese-
paration tank / KCF since this may impair the filter function!
• Only use original replacement filter sets!
In the event of significant differences compared with the
speci fications of the general technical approval, e.g. the
employment of non-original filters, the approval no longer cov
-
ers the usability of the KCF product. In such cases, individual
approval of the responsible local authority will be required.
Moreover, there will be no entitlement to the remedy of
defects within a 2-year period!
The operator’s duty of care includes the following:
Installation, siting, maintenance, repair or cleaning:
These tasks have to be carried out by a specialist firm, as
required by law, unless the operator himself possesses the
necessary qualifications and entitlements.
It should further be realised that the statutory limits for indirect
clean-water discharge into the sewer system may be subject
to regional variations.
This work has to be documented in the operating manual.
The operating manual and maintenance reports must be
filed and presented to the responsible local authority if
requested.
Supervision:
The operator must ensure through constant monitoring
that the KCF oil-water separator is in a leaktight condition
and functioning correctly.
• Check the oil-water separator for leaks regularly!
•
Check the outflowing clean water every week using the refer
-
ence test kit!
•
Always keep a spare filter set!
Caution!
Oil-contaminated condensate!
Oil-contaminated condensate contains substances that
are hazardous both to health and the environment. These
substances may cause irritation or damage to the skin, eyes
and mucous linings. Oil-contaminated condensate must
not be allowed to get into the sewer system, water bodies
or the soil. Contaminated objects have to be cleaned or
disposed of according to the legal regulations.
