10 Instructions for use
Oil separator vessel
- This vessel can contain pressurised air. This can be potentially dangerous if the equipment
is misused.
- This vessel must only be used as a compressed air/oil separator tank and must be
operated within the limits specified on the data plate.
- No alterations must be made to this vessel by welding, drilling or other mechanical methods
without the written permission of the manufacturer.
- The pressure and temperature of this vessel must be clearly indicated.
- The safety valve must correspond with pressure surges of 1.1 times the maximum
allowable operating pressure. It should guarantee that the pressure will not permanently
exceed the maximum allowable operating pressure of the vessel.
- Use only oil as specified by the manufacturer.
- There is no intrinsic need for service inspection of the oil separator vessel when used within
the design limits for its intended application. Nevertheless, in case of misuse of the units
(very low oil temperature or long interval of shut down) a certain amount of condensate
can gather in the oil separator vessel which must be properly drained. To do so, disconnect
the unit from the power line, wait till it is cooled down and depressurised and drain the
water by the oil drain valve, positioned at the bottom side of the oil separator vessel.
Local legislation may require an internal inspection.
