Structural Changes At The Cylinder Regulator; Fundamental Risks - Linde C300 Gebrauchsanleitung

WARNING!
•
Danger from improper use!
•
Improper use of the system can lead to dangerous situations.
•
Never use the cylinder regulator with liquid fl uids.
•
Never use the cylinder regulator as a fl ow control element or as a shut-off valve.

2.1.1. STRUCTURAL CHANGES AT THE CYLINDER REGULATOR

Without written approval of manufacturer no extensions, additions or alternations are allowed on the cylinder
regulator.
Cylinder regulators that are not in perfect condition must be replaced immediately.
Cleaning of cylinder regulator and disposal of residues
Used components which are ready for reparation has to be purged with an inert gas (nitrogen) before.
Noise Generation
In some cases when specifi c infl uence quantities collaborate together, e.g. fl ow and pressure range can
cause noise generation or the gas itself. If this happens please contact manufacturer.

2.2. FUNDAMENTAL RISKS

The following section addresses the residual risks that may arise, even if the system is used properly.
Observance of the safety information included below and in other sections of these instructions is mandatory
in order to reduce the risk of injury and property damage and to avoid dangerous situations.
DANGER!
•
Gases can be life threatening!
•
Gases can supersede the oxygen in air. This can result in death by asphyxiation. Oxygen produces a
strongly oxidizing eff ect.
THEREFORE:
•
Suffi cient ventilation is absolutely essential.
•
Installation only through certifi ed company.
•
Observe ATEX directive
ATTENTION!
•
Risk of injury from environment!
There can be malfunctions on component due to condensation and/ or icing.
THEREFORE:
•
Observe suitable temperatures.
•
Protect component from liquids from outside
•
Protect component from dust from outside
•
Protect component from weather conditions
•
Grounding has to be mounted properly
WARNING!
•
Risk of injury from using oil and grease!
Oil and grease must never be used in gas regulating systems. Oil and grease are highly infl ammatory and
can react violently to certain pressurized gases.
THEREFORE:
•
Never use oil and grease
WARNING!
•
Risk of injury from residual energy stored in the system!
If handled incorrectly, pressurized components can move uncontrollably and cause severe injury. If handled
incorrectly or defective, pressurized components can leak gas under high pressure and cause severe or
even fatal injuries.
