12 Instructions for use of air receiver
12.1 Air receiver instructions
Instructions
1 This vessel can contain pressurised air; this can be potentially dangerous if the equipment is
misused.
2 This vessel must only be used as a compressed air/oil separator and must be operated within
the limits specified on the data plate.
3 No alterations must be made to this vessel by welding, drilling or any other mechanical
methods without the written permission of the manufacturer.
4 The pressure and temperature of this vessel must be clearly indicated.
5 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.
6 Use only oil as specified by the manufacturer.
7 This vessel has been designed and built to guarantee an operational liftetime in excess of 20
years and an infinite number of pressure load cycles. There is no intrinsic need for in service
inspection of the vessel when used within the design limits for its intended application.
However, national legislation may require in service inspection.
8 Original bolts have to be used after opening for inspection. The maximum torque has to be
taken into consideration: for M12 bolts 73 Nm (+/- 18) / 54 lbf.ft (+/- 13), for M16 bolts 185 Nm
(+/- 45) / 136.5 lbf.ft (+/- 33).
