BEKOMAT® 32U
3 Proper use
•
The BEKOMAT
®
32U is an electronically level-controlled condensate drain for compressed-air plants.
•
The device is employed within the permissible performance parameters (see "Technical data").
•
The BEKOMAT
®
32U is able to drain condensate under operating pressure from the plant components
virtually without compressed-air loss.
•
For its function, the BEKOMAT
®
32U requires a supply voltage and an operating pressure
(see "Technical data").
•
As far as the employment in plants with increased demands on compressed air is concerned
(food industry, medical technology, laboratory equipment, special processes etc.), the operator must
decide on measures for the monitoring of the compressed-air quality. These have an effect on the
safety of the subsequent processes and may prevent damage to persons and plants.
•
It is the task of the operator to ensure that the indicated conditions are met during the entire operating
time.
4 Exclusion from the scope of application
•
The BEKOMAT
®
32U as a condensate drain
alone
cannot
guarantee a defined compressed-air quality,
for this purpose, other additional technical devices are required.
•
BEKOMAT
®
32U is
not
suitable for use in plants carrying vacuum or atmospheric ambient pressure or
in ex-areas.
•
The BEKOMAT
®
32U must not be exposed to permanent direct solar or thermal radiation.
•
The BEKOMAT
®
32U must not be installed and operated in areas with an aggressive atmosphere.
•
The BEKOMAT
®
32U is not heatable and, therefore, not suitable for the use in areas where frost is likely
to occur.
•
The BEKOMAT
®
32U is not suitable for CO
2
plants.
