TANKO® S & TANKO® RB_IOM_Rev0

ATEX Spate Cleaner TANKO-EX-S and ATEX Spray Cleaner TANKO-EX-RB

NOTE

Risk of breakage due to material overload! Pressure surges when switching the cleaning agent on or off, in particular pressure surges which exceed the operating pressure, and gas components in the cleaning agent may cause hammering in the cleaning device. There is a risk of material damage or destruction of plant parts, e.g. leakage in the pipe system or on connected devices.  Prevent pressure surges ( “ water hammers ” ) and gas components in the cleaning agent, e.g. caused by:

– Installing a water hammer arrester or pressure relief valve in the supply line

– Starting up/stopping the pump slowly

– Opening/closing the shut-off fitting slowly (e.g. valve or ball cock).

The term “ water hammer ” denotes a pressure surge in a fluid line which is generated by opening/closing a shut-off fitting (e.g. valve or ball cock) quickly at the end of a pipeline.

Pressure hammers/pressure surges can also be provoked by quick changes in the flow rate (pressure increase or pressure drop), or by sudden changes in direction of the flow of fluids. This effect is particularly common in pump systems with long pipelines when starting up, stopping or changing the speed of pumps.

6.4 Operation

Once it has been commissioned and inspected, the device can be put into operation, observing the following instructions.

WARNING

Risk when using outdoors! If the device is used outdoors, there is a risk of a lightning strike in case of a storm. There is a risk of death or severe physical injury.  The devices are usually operated in an enclosed factory hall and are thus protected from the risk of lightning.  The plant in which the device is installed must be protected by suitable lightning protection measures.  In case of use outdoors and in case of storms or the risk of lightning strikes, stop work immediately.
