EGK 2A Ex DANGER Toxic and corrosive gases / condensate Sample gas / condensate can be hazardous. a) Take care that the gas is exhausted in a place where no persons are in danger. b) Before maintenance turn off the gas supply and make sure that it cannot be turned on unintentionally.
EGK 2A Ex 3 Product description 3.1 General description A sample gas cooler is used to lower the moisture content, thus the dew point of a sample gas. This is intended to on one hand lower measurement accuracies through volume influence, on the other to avoid for moisture to condense further along the measuring path and cause damage, particularly to the delicate measuring cell of the analyser.
EGK 2A Ex 4 Transport and storage The sample gas cooler must be transported in the original packaging or a suitable alternative. It must be transported upright. Never place it on its side during transport, as oil could otherwise leak from the compressor and enter the cooling circuit. This can result in cooler start-up problems or failure.
EGK 2A Ex 5 Installation and connection 5.1 Installation site requirements The unit is intended for use in enclosed areas. Adequate protection from the weather must be provided when used outdoors. The approved environmental conditions for explosive areas according to the enclosed data sheet must be met.
EGK 2A Ex DANGER Explosion hazard due to flame propagation Severe injuries and damage to the system If the process holds a risk of flame propagation, install a flame arrestor. When using automatic condensate drains, the gas pump must be installed ahead of the cooler to ensure proper function of the condensate drain.
EGK 2A Ex – Pay particular attention of the earth connection of the mains supply line: All the individual parts are pre-installed on the threaded bolt at the bottom right inside the housing: Loosen the nut and remove the nut, washers and ring cable lug. Attach the ring cable lug to the earth wire of the power cable.
