16.3.1 Replacement of the activated carbon
Depending on the operating conditions, the activated carbon has a service lifetime of approximately
10,000 operating hours. Afterwards, the adsorption capacity of the activated carbon is exhausted.
As a matter of principle, replace the complete contents of the activated-carbon filling.
The activated carbon must be replaced by a correspondingly trained and authorised specialist company.
Please request the BEKO service.
The employed activated carbon is not subject to any labelling obligation in accordance with the Ordinance
on Hazardous Substances. However, the usual precautions regarding the handling of chemicals need to
be taken.
In the event of fire, there are no restrictions regarding the applicable fire-extinguishing agents. It is
recommended to use CO
2
, powder or a directed spray of water; use a directed spray of water or alcohol-
resistant foam in the event of larger fires. Special personal protective equipment for firefighting is not
required.
Spilled activated carbon should be removed, avoiding dust to the largest possible extent.
To replace the activated carbon, please carry out the following work steps:
1.
Remove the plant from service. For this purpose, follow the directions in the "Removal from service"
section.
2.
Open the filler neck of the activated-carbon adsorber. As regards the CLEARPOINT
®
L 205 V,
unfasten the pipe connection at the compressed-air INLET, and unscrew and remove the
compressed-air distributor.
