2. For Your Safety
2.1 Agreement on Appropriate Use
The SynPur is intended for use exclusively as a preliminary stage for DRAABE
air humidification systems within the specified operating conditions in non-
potentially explosive environments. It is used to condition the feed water (RO or DI
water) and deliver a product that is processed further by the downstream air
humidification system. Any other use is considered inappropriate and can result in
the system becoming a hazard.
The proper use of the system includes compliance with all of the information
contained in these instructions (particularly the safety information) and strict
adherence to the specified operating conditions.
2.2 General Safety Information
-
Only persons who are familiar with the product and are adequately trained
for the respective work should install and operate the SynPur. The customer is
responsible for ensuring that the technical documentation is supplemented by
internal company instructions regarding supervisory and reporting obligations,
work organization, employee qualification, etc.
-
Before beginning work on components of the SynPur, the system should be
shut down properly according to Chapter 5.2 and secured against accidental
restart (controller off, water supply closed, and system depressurized).
- Compliance is required with all local safety regulations concerning:
- The use of mains-supplied electrical and electronic equipment.
- The design of water and high-pressure systems.
- All safety regulations concerning the use of pressurized gas containers,
especially those filled with carbon dioxide (CO
2
), should be obeyed.
-
Inadequately maintained air humidification systems can pose a health hazard.
Because this system is used as a preliminary stage in an air humidification
system, the following rule applies equally to it: maintenance activities must
be performed properly in the specified intervals.
- If it can be assumed that a non-hazardous operation is no longer possible,
the SynPur must be shut down immediately and secured against
accidental restart and NORTEC should be notified. Circumstances in which
this could be the case include the following:
- Components of the system are damaged.
- The system is no longer functioning properly.
- Connections or lines are not leak-tight.
- To avoid water damage, materials that are sensitive to water should not be
stored directly under the SynPur.
- Aside from the activities described in these instructions, no other interventions
are permitted on the Conductivity Synthesizer.
- Only original accessories and replacement parts from NORTEC should be
used.
