4.3
Special advice for plants under pressure in accordance with the 97/23/EC
Pressure Equipment Directive
The CLEARPOINT
®
V activated-carbon adsorber is a pressure device in the sense of the 97/23/EC
Pressure Equipment Directive. Therefore, the plant needs to be registered with the supervisory authority
in accordance with the local regulations, and requires the approval of the latter.
For the examination prior to the start-up and for periodic inspections, the national regulations need to be
observed, such as the industrial safety regulation in the Federal Republic of Germany. In countries
outside the EU, the respective regulations in force there need to be adhered to.
The proper use of pressure devices is the basic requirement for safe operation. As regards pressure
devices, the following needs to be observed:
The CLEARPOINT
®
V must only be employed within the pressure and temperature range limits
indicated by the manufacturer on the type plate.
No welding must be carried out on the pressure vessel of the device.
The CLEARPOINT
®
V must neither be installed in insufficiently ventilated rooms nor near heat
sources or inflammable substances.
To avoid fractures resulting from material fatigue, the CLEARPOINT
®
V should not be exposed
to vibrations during operation.
The maximum operating pressure indicated by the manufacturer on the type plate must not be
exceeded. It is the operator's responsibility to install the appropriate safety and control devices.
Prior to the start-up of the CLEARPOINT
®
V, the connected pressure generator (compressor
etc.) must be safeguarded against exceeding of the max. permissible operating pressure. The
integrated safeguard needs to be checked by an approved inspection agency.
The documents related to the CLEARPOINT
®
V (manual, operating instructions, manufacturer's
declaration etc.) must be kept safe for future reference.
No objects whatsoever must be installed or placed on the CLEARPOINT
®
V and the connecting
lines.
Installation of the plant in frost-free places only.
WARNING!
Unauthorised intervention!
Unauthorised interventions may endanger persons and plants and lead to malfunction.
Unauthorised interventions, modification and abuse of the pressure devices are prohibited.
Operators of the devices must observe the local and national pressure equipment
regulations in the country of installation.
Warning!
High pressure!
Subsequent of the start-up of the CLEARPOINT
®
V components of the plant are under
pressure. Serious injuries are possible.
Any installation, repair and maintenance works on the CLEARPOINT
®
V must only be carried
out when the plant is pressureless.
