SAFETY:
GENERAL SAFETY. This chapter advises you on general
precautions for the proper handling of the heat exchanger and
on the dangers the user may encounter. If the heat exchanger is
employed improperly or not according to the intended purpose,
or if the safety notes are not observed, danger to people and
property can arise.
NOTE: Read this chapter carefully. It contains important
information and obligations. It concerns your health and the
trouble-free operation of the heat exchanger.
CAUTION
The operator is responsible for the safe operation of the
heat exchanger.
The following points must be observed:
1. Always adhere to the general, national, and operational
safety regulations; for example, wear protective glasses,
close-fitting protective clothing, and safety shoes.
2. Always adhere to the safety instructions in the individual
chapters of these operating instructions.
3. The heat exchanger may be operated only in a perfect
condition. Each change on the plate heat exchanger must be
immediately reported to the nearest responsible person who
is available.
4. Before beginning work with the heat exchanger, operators
must familiarize themselves with the possible dangers.
5. Before each start of the plate heat exchanger, ensure that
all parts of the device are in perfect condition and function
correctly.
INCORRECT OPERATING CONDITIONS. Operation of the
plate heat exchanger should be stopped immediately if:
1. Substantial faults or damage occurs.
2. The maintenance is not performed regularly.
3. The permissible operating conditions (including internal
pressure, temperature, media, external loads) are exceeded.
NOTE: Aurora accepts no liability for damage caused by
incorrect operating conditions.
PERMITTED OPERATORS. For operation of the heat
exchanger, everyone who works with the heat exchanger
should:
1. Be appropriately trained for the task to be performed.
2. Be familiar with the work safety and accident prevention
regulations.
3. Be instructed in the handling of the plate heat exchanger.
4. Have read and understood these operating instructions.
Persons who are responsible for the setup, assembly, start-up,
maintenance or disassembly of the plate heat exchanger must
have the knowledge required.
INHERENT DANGERS. Inherent dangers can never be fully
excluded. You can prevent these dangers only by appropriate
behavior.
CAUTION
Danger of injury!
These issues will always be present. Always take precautions to
prevent injury or damage.
1. Heat exchanger plates: The thin heat exchanger plates are
sharp-edged. When handling heat exchanger plates, always
wear suitable protective gloves.
2. External contact points: Burrs, threads or similar present a
risk of injury.
3. Always wear suitable protective gloves when handling the
outside of the heat exchanger.
4. The heat exchanger has a high center of gravity and may
fall over. All plate heat exchangers that are standing and
not fixed present the risk of falling over. Always secure
the upright plate heat exchanger against falling by fixing it
securely in place, preferably to the ground.
Before opening the heat exchanger, ensure that it is
unpressurized and empty. When opening the heat exchanger,
always ensure that the heat
exchanger plates do not
loosen from the frame and
fall out. (See "Opening
the Heat Exchanger and
Removing the Plates".)
