Safety Warnings

■

  The duct sections are likely to have HOT surfaces.

Always wear the appropriate protective equipment

when approaching the heat exchanger.

■

  Exothermics products are designed to minimize

the use of materials that contain crystalline silica.
Examples of these chemicals are: respirable
crystalline silica from bricks, cement or other
masonry products and respirable refractory
ceramic fibers from insulating blankets, boards, or
gaskets. Despite these efforts, dust created by
sanding, sawing, grinding, cutting and other
construction activities could release crystalline
silica. Crystalline silica is known to cause cancer,
and health risks from the exposure to these
chemicals vary depending on the frequency and
length of exposure to these chemicals. To reduce
the risk, limit exposure to these chemicals, work in
a well-ventilated area and wear approved personal
protective safety equipment for these chemicals.

■

 This manual provides information regarding the

use of these heat exchangers for their specific
design purpose. Do not deviate from any
instructions or application limits described herein
without written approval from Exothermics.

Operator Training

The best safety precaution is an alert and trained
operator. Train new operators thoroughly and have them
demonstrate an adequate understanding of the
equipment and its operation. A regular retraining schedule
should be administered to ensure operators maintain a
high degree of proficiency. Contact Exothermics for any
needed site-specific training.
