Usage for the intended purpose BA 46, BA 47: Use the continuous blowdown valves BA 46, BA 47 only for discharging boiler blowdown from steam boilers. Use the equipment only within the allowable pressure and temperature ratings and only if the chemical and corrosive influences on the equipment are taken into account.
PED as specified in section 3.3). ATEX (Hazardous Area) The equipment BA 46, BA 47 can be used in potentially explosive areas, provided that the following notes are observed: The service fluid must not generate excessively high operating temperatures. Electrostatic charges that may be produced during operation must be discharged.

Continuous blowdown valve REAKTOMAT BA 46, BA 47 To open or close the continuous blowdown valve BA 46, BA 47 use the control lever and to set the required amount of boiler blowdown use the scale. The required amount of boiler blowdown can be calculated with the aid of a formula or read off on a nomogram.
The temperature/pressure ratings are indicated on the body or on the name plate. For more informa- tion see GESTRA technical documents such as data sheets and the Technical Information. According to EN 19 the name plate or the specification on the body indicate the type and design: Name/logo of the manufacturer ■...
