6.2 OPERATION

Safety instructions: Functional failure of gaskets!
Operation at unpermitted pressure and temperature levels and with unper-
mitted media may cause direct functional failure of the gaskets. Hazardous
media may escape under high pressure and high or low temperatures and
injure persons.
• Always comply with the allowed values and specifications according to
the name plate.
Safety instructions: Compliance with operating pressure and differential pressure!
The operating pressure values must be kept as stable as possible. Repeated
pressure variations resulting in the pressure conditions being reversed (e.g.
by opening/closing a throttle valve) may damage the plate pack and cause
leaks between the circuits.
• Unless otherwise specified in the technical documentation, the recom-
mended differential pressure between the two circuits is more than 1 bar.
The operator must check if the K°Bloc works correctly at regular intervals.
Keep an eye in particular on the following possible malfunctions:
• Is a medium escaping from the K°Bloc?
• Is there any unusual noise?
If you notice a malfunction, stop operation of the K°Bloc immediately, see
chapter „6.3.1 Short-term putting out of operation" (page 61). Remove the
cause of the malfunction as far as you are authorized to do so. In doing so,
observe chapters „7 Maintenance" (page 66) and „8 Troubleshooting"
(page 99).
