For your own safety
The adsorber has been built in accordance with the state of the art and the recognized
technical safety regulations. Nevertheless, there is a risk of personal injury and damage to
property when the adsorber is used, if
◊ it is operated by non-qualied personnel,
◊ not used within its intended design specications,
◊ is repaired or maintained incorrectly.
Note:
For your own safety and to prevent machine damage, please note the informa-
tion and safety notes in these operating instructions when working with the
adsorber.
General safety notes
Warning against sudden air ejection
When the hollow section vessels are depressurised, air flows suddenly out of
the sound absorber.
◊ This causes a sudden loud cracking noise.
◊ Due to particles carried in the air flow, there is a very considerable risk of
eye injury.
When working on the adsorber, always wear eye and ear protection equipment.
Hazard due to a sudden release of pressure!
Never remove any parts of the adsorber, or manipulate the same in any way,
for as long as the plant is still pressurised! A sudden escape of pressure may
cause serious injuries.
Before carrying out any work on the adsorber, first depressurise the plant.
For your own safety, when carrying out any work on the adsorber comply
with all applicable national safety regulations!
Personnel qualification
Only authorized and qualied specialist personnel may be tasked with the work on the ad-
sorber described in these operating instructions.
Conversions and modifications
Without prior approval by the manufacturer, no conversions and modications must be made
to the adsorber! Any non-approved modications may restrict the operational safety of the
adsorber and cause damage to property or personal injury.
Handling drying agents
The purifying agents used do not pose any risk to health. However, when lling and empty-
ing the hollow section vessel, increased dust generation may occur. Please comply with the
following instructions:
◊ When handling purifying agents, alway wear a dust mask and eye protection!
Disassembly and disposal
◊ Dispose all parts of the adsorber, the purifying agents and all other operating materials in an
environmentally safe way and in accordance with all current statutory regulations.

Disassembly and disposal
◊ Dispose all parts of the adsorber, the purifying agents and all other operating materials in an
environmentally safe way and in accordance with all current statutory regulations.
Intended use of the adsorber
The adsorber is exclusively intended for purifying compressed air. Depending on the dened
input conditions, it puries compressed air for industrial use.
The adsorber is designed for compressed air, which is free from aggressive water, oil, and
solid matter constituents.
As standard, the adsorber is intended to be sited within a building and protected against the
weather.
The adsorber may be operated only in accordance with the data on the type plate and in
accordance with the contractual conditions.
Suspected misuse
The adsorber must not be misused as a climbing aid! Pipes, valves, and similar ttings have
not been designed for such loads. They could fracture, tear off, or become damaged in
another way.
