1.1 Entries referring to the system
MBRAUN guarantees the performance of the equipment as stated in the order/contract.
Serial number: see type plate
Person(s) in charge of the system: ......................................................................................
Please refer to the “CE Declaration of Conformity” in this document to determine whether
the system is either:
¡Completed machinery in accordance with the European Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC, Annex IIA, or
¡Partly completed machinery in accordance with the European Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC, Annex IIB
Applicable law prohibits the operation of partly completed machinery. It is the obligation of
the operating company to extend the system with all legally required safety measures to
ensure that it complies with the European Machinery Directive before it is put into service.
If the MBRAUN system is part of a larger or superordinate system, the requirements of
the other system components must also be followed. In this case, it is the responsibility of
the operating company to ensure compliance with the European Machine Directive
2006/42/EC.

nel, working on the system.
1.9.3 Safety warnings in this manual
The following safety warning symbols are used in this operating manual. However, com-
ponents and parts of sub-suppliers may use other safety alert symbols in the related 3rd
party manual and on the equipment. For labels used on components from other manufac-
turers, please refer to the 3rd party documentation.

1.9.5 Units used
The common unit “bar” and the international unit “Pascal” are used for pressure data.
Unit used Equivalent unit
1 bar = 0.1 MPa = 100,000 Pa
1 mbar = 1 HPa = 100 Pa
1.9.6 Terms used
¡Inert gas systems from MBRAUN can be operated with Helium (He), Argron (Ar) or
nitrogen (N2) unless specified otherwise. These gases are referred to as “inert gases”.
Furthermore, as customer-specific purification systems, they also can be operated
with clean dry air (CDA). CDA is not an inert gas. However, the term “inert gas sys-
tem” used in this manual covers also the CDA operation.
¡The term used in this manual for the box atmosphere is “working gas”. It refers either
to inert gas or to CDA.
¡The persons or organisations, legally responsible for operating the system are herein-
after referred to as “operating company”. Persons working with the system on-site are
referred to as “operators”.

1.9.8 Glossary
Term Description
CDA Clean (or conditioned) dry air is not an inert gas. It is used mainly for
processes that involve a high probability of moisture-sensitivity.
Control gas Pressurised gas for operating pneumatic control elements.
HEPA filter High Efficient Particle Air Filter
¡HEPA 13: 99.95% of particle size 0.3 µm (most penetrating
particle size) is filtered
¡HEPA 14: 99.995% of particle size 0.3 µm (most penetrating
particle size) is filtered
HMI The screens on the touch panel. Also mechanical buttons and
valves, used by the operator for operating the system
Inert gas A gas that is virtually chemically inactive. The most commonly used
inert gas is N2. Other typical inert gases include the noble gases he-
lium and argon.
LMF This is a solvent filter. It contains a activated carbon granulate (Pel-
lets) as an adsorbent which removes solvents from the working gas.
Exhausted filters must be replaced. Contact MBRAUN Service in
this case.
MBRAUN also offers LMFs that contain mol sieves as adsorbent. In
this case, the adsorption process operates as a reversible process:
when the adsorbent is exhausted, a regeneration process can be
started, passing working gas through the LMF.
Also available are LMFs with chemical tailored adsorbents to meet
special filter needs. Contact MBRAUN for further details.
Permeability /
Permeation
Gas molecules (the “permeate”) pass through a solid, moving from
high to low concentration. The characteristic value for this process is
the permeability (also referred to as the permeation coefficient).
