About your safety
The dryer has been built in accordance with the state of the art and the
recognised technical safety regulations. Nevertheless, there is a risk of personal
injury and damage to property when the adsorber is used, if
it is operated by non-qualified personnel,
not used within its intended design specifications,
is repaired or maintained incorrectly.
Note:
For your own safety and to prevent machine damage, please note the
information and safety notes in these operating instructions when
working with the dryer.
Intended use of the dryer
The dryer is intended solely for the drying of natural gas that is free of aggressive
water, oil, solids and gas constituents. Depending on defined initial conditions, it
dries natural gas for industrial use.
As standard, the dryer is intended to be sited within a building and protected
against the weather.
The dryer may be operated only in accordance with the data on the type plate
and in accordance with the contractual conditions. Non-observance of the data
given there is regarded as improper use.
ATEX-compliant dryers in acc. with designation CE Ex II 2G must only be used
in Zone 1 and Zone 2 environments.
ATEX-compliant dryers are designed to be electrically conductive. The operator
must ensure that this electrical conductivity is available without restriction. He
must also ensure that this electrical conductivity is not disabled by unsuitable
attachments. Electrical conductivity must be tested after every service
operation, and its full operational capability must be documented.
For filters on ATEX-compliant dryers, only use elements that meet the technical
specification of the manufacturer.
Warning against misuse
The dryer described here must not be operated using any other medium
than natural gas! The dryer is not designed for other applications.
The dryer must never be used as a climbing aid!
The pipes, valves, etc. have not been designed with this kind of load in
mind. They could fracture, tear off, or become damaged in another way.
This can cause toxic, explosive natural gas to escape and present
substantial hazards to people and the environment.
