Additionally, the owner is responsible for
ensuring that the device is always kept in a
technically perfect condition. The following
therefore applies:
▪
The owner must implement suitable safety
measures, appropriate to the media used.
▪
Different media have different severities of
influence on the soiling and wear of/to the
device. The owner must set suitable
maintenance intervals, depending on the
media flowing through the device..
▪
The owner must ensure that the maintenance
intervals described in these Operating
Instructions are adhered to at all times.
▪
The owner must ensure that the device is
completely free of all residual media before
disposal. Remains of corrosive or toxic
materials must be neutralized.

3.2 Device description
The flow limiters of the series BA, BB, BC and BF
limit the flow of water through pipelines. They
keep the flow rate constant in case of fluctuations
in the flow rate. The flow limiters operate purely
on a mechanical principle and do not require any
auxiliary electrical energy.
The flow limiters use a regulating star. This
regulating star is deflected if the pressure
difference in the device increases. This limits the
cross-section where the flow can pass through.
The flow limiters work in a control pressure
range between 2 and 10 bar / 29 and 145 psi.
Applications for the flow limiters BA, BB, BC and
BF are e. g. water supply for machines and
equipment, irrigation, water treatment. The flow
limiter ensures that an almost constant flow rate
is achieved.
4 Transport, packaging and storage
4.1 Safety instructions for transport
Improper transport
Notice!
The device could be damaged if transported
improperly!
Objects to be transported may fall or overturn if
transported improperly. This may result in
damage to the device and/or property.
▪
Proceed carefully when unloading transported
packages, both on delivery and when
transporting inhouse. Observe the symbols
and instructions on the shipping box
