9.1
Decommissioning / placing in storage / preservation
Every side channel blower leaves the factory in carefully mounted condition. If
commissioning will not take place for an extended time after delivery, we recommend the
following measures for storage of the side channel blower.
9.1.1
Placing new side channel blowers in storage
If requested, new side channel blowers have preservation protection according to the
storage time specified by the customer when the order is placed. If this time is significantly
exceeded, the condition of the side channel blower must be checked and it must be
represerved if necessary.
9.1.2
Recommissioning after being placed in storage
Removal of preservation
Before the side channel blower that was in storage is installed, the preservation material
with which it was coated and/or filled must be removed. To do this, follow the instructions
in Section 3.2.2 "Cleaning"
.
Recommissioning
Reinstall the previously removed side channel blower as described in Section 3.3 "Setting
up and connecting".
Immediately after work is complete, all safety and protective equipment must be put back
in place and/or placed in operation again.
Before recommissioning of the installed side channel blower, the checks and maintenance
measures described in section 7 must be performed. Before using the side channel blower
again, all the items listed in Section 4.1 "Initial commissioning"
must be observed.
Note!
After an extended storage time under preservation conditions, check
elastomer parts (O-rings) to ensure they have retained proper shape and
elasticity. Brittle elastomer parts must be replaced. Elastomer parts made of
EPDM must always be replaced.
