These breakdown products are very dangerous. Fluorinated materials in the
sy
stem can include oils, greases and seals. The system has possibly overheated if it
was misused, if it malfunconed or if it was in a re. Edwards Safety Data Sheets
for uorinated materials used in the pump are available on request.
The system requires no maintenance. Pump protecon sensors installed in the system
do not require roune maintenance. The decommissioning operaons that can be
carried out are described in Relocate the system for decommissioning on page 86 and
Drain the cooling water for decommissioning on page 87. Maintenance must be carried
out by our service centres (refer to Service on page 91). The frequency of maintenance
operaons depends on the process.
9.2 Relocate the system for decommissioning
WARNING: USE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Risk of injury or dea
th. The substances collected in the exhaust pipe, elbow and check
valve can be dangerous. Do not let these substances contact skin or eyes. Do not
inhale vapours from these substances. Install blanking caps to the inlet and outlet
anges when moving the exhaust pipe, elbow or check valve around the workplace.
The majority of synthec oils/grease can cause inammaon of the skin (dermas).
Safety precauons must be taken to prevent prolonged skin contact with these
substances. Use of correct protecve gloves and clothing along with a respirator is
recommended if contact with the substance is possible. System process gases and
residue can be highly toxic. Take all necessary precauons when you handle the
components that have, or can have, come into contact with them, including O‑rings,
lubricants and all exhaust accessories.
WARNING: HEAVY OBJECT
Risk of phy
sical injury. Use correct liing equipment.
WARNING: TRANSPORTATION SAFETY
Risk of toppling. Do not e
xceed the topple angle of 10° when you move the system. If
the system topples it can cause personal injury or damage to the equipment. Move
the system on its castors to its operang posion. The system should only be moved
for short distances over at surfaces. If the oor surface is uneven or has obstacles
the system should be lied with correct liing equipment. If liing the system is
impraccal or there are other site dicules, contact us for advice.
CAUTION: COOLING WATER TEMPERATURE
Risk of damage t
o equipment. Drain the cooling water from the system if transporng
or storing it in condions where the cooling water can freeze. Failure to do so can
cause the cooling water to freeze in the system and damage the pump(s) and/or the
cooling water pipelines.
