Safety Prior to handling the machine, this instruction manual should be read and understood. If anything needs to be clarified, please contact your Busch representative. Read this manual carefully before use and keep for future reference. This instruction manual remains valid as long as the customer does not change anything on the product.
Conveying of other media leads to an increased thermal and/or mechanical load on the machine and is permissible only after a consultation with Busch. The machine is intended for the placement in a non-potentially explosive environment. The machine is designed for indoor installation, in case of outdoor installation, ask your Busch representative in order to take specific precautions.
• Refer to the specific document “Pump Control Instructions, art. no.: 0870213261” for more details or contact your Busch representative. 2.3.5 Gas Ballast Valve The gas ballast valve mixes the process gas with a limited quantity of ambient air to counteract the condensation of vapour inside the machine.
