Any other use or modification of the machine without the written consent of the
manufacturer is deemed improper.

Pressure Equipment
On the fluid side, the pressure equipment may solely be operated using non-
corrosive fluids of group 2 and on the gas side with N2. This also applies in
connection with the range of transient pressure mentioned in the "Acceptance
Report" and the permitted stress reversals. These details are with regard to the
pressure equipment being completely emptied and filled 20 times.
The commissioning is strictly forbidden until it has been determined that the
entire system in which the pressure equipment is being built in corresponds with
the EC directives.
The fluids needed for operation of the pressure equipment in compliance with
its designated application are procured and used by the customer. Proper
handling of these fluids and the related dangers are the sole responsibility of the
customer.

2.2 Filling and checking the pressure equipment (by qualified technicians)
While filling or after filling N2 gas check all screw fittings, shut-off devices,
connecting and junction points for tightness using a foaming agent.
DSS-G21 3
Pressure Equipment
BSD pressure equipments may only be filled with nitrogen of class 4.0. The filling
takes place by means of an approved filling and testing kit (fig. 2-1 or fig. 2.2),
which can be obtained from us. The pre-load pressure depends on the ambient
temperature (isochore behavior of N2, see following table) and should be 5 bar
below the minimum operating pressure at maximum ambient temperature (if there
are no other specifications).
Never use oxygen or other combustible gases for filling the piston accumulator!
Isochore behavior of N2
General information
The pre-load pressures P0 mentioned are
referring to a room temperature of + 20 °C.
If the real temperature differs to + 20 °C by
the time of loading or control, it can be
found from the diagram what pressure
must be pre-loaded or be available.
Example
A gas system with a gas pressure of 155
bar and a gas temperature of + 20 °C is
given. When the gas temperature changes

Pressure Equipment
The safety system can be part of the delivery (see shipment documents) or it is
part of the assembly carried out by the customer.
In any case the safety system is necessary and must be checked for efficacy
prior to commissioning.
The customer must instruct his operating and maintenance personnel in the use
of the piston accumulators and ensure that the safety precautions are being
adhered to.
DSS-G21 9
Pressure Equipment
The customer must ensure that local regulations (e. g. acceptance test etc.) were
observed during installation and commissioning of the machine if this work was
carried out by the customer himself.
4 Dangers
The maximum and minimum operating data indicated on the type plate and in this
manual must not exceed or remain under.
The assembly of the pressure equipment must be carried out in a way that the
operating personnel is not endangered by leaking operating material should a
reaction of the safety equipment parts occur.
Constructional changes
Constructional changes on the pressure equipment may not be carried out.
Mechanical subsequent treatment or welding is prohibited.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damages arising from fitting parts that
have not been tested and approved by him.

5.2 Delivery
Receiving inspection:
- Check the shipment against the delivery note to ensure that it is complete!
Damages:
- Check delivery for damages (visual inspection)!
Complaints:
If the shipment was damaged during transit:
- Immediately contact the last carrier!
- Keep the packing material (in case the carrier wants to inspect it or the
shipment has to be returned)
DSS-G21 11
Pressure Equipment
For the delivery (by qualified personnel) suitable means of transport and transit
routes must be used. Make sure that the pressure equipment will not be damaged
on the outside. In any case, when returning the shipment to the manufacturer
make sure that the equipment is delivered depressurized.
For onward transport and set-up use suitable means of transport such as a crane
or fork-lift truck in connection with suitable belts which are looped around the
cylinder tube. The thread holes drilled frontal in the accumulator may only be
loaded to the total weight described in the table. It is advisable to secure it using
an additional belt. For the weight of the pressure equipment or the equipment
components please see diagram. Pay attention to the point of gravity.
The crane or fork-lift truck must be constructed to bear the total weight of the
transport unit!
The driver must have a license for conducting the crane and/or fork-lift truck.
The pressure equipment and spare and replacement parts are designed for a
storage period of three months from delivery.
Storage conditions
Closed and dry room according to the designated operating conditions.
The storage of the pressure equipment and, if necessary, accessories must take
place in a way that the goods are protected against outside influences and
damages.
Prior to shipment, the manufacturer makes sure that all components of the
pressure equipment are protected against corrosion for an appropriate storage
period (3 months) in a suitable way.
12 DSS-G21
Pressure Equipment
Prior to the packing for onward transport the components may need to be
decontaminated. For this follow the data sheets of the media/fluids the parts
may come into contact with. Pay attention to the notes about transport and on
the drawing.
Set-up/installation
Assembly of the pressure equipment is to be carried out by qualified personnel
and must be specially trained for this kind of work.
A vertical arrangement with the oil side at the bottom is recommended. A different
arrangement leads to increased wear.
For inspection and test time periods also consider chap. 1.2 section 4.
For fastening the equipment use appropriate fixing elements in accordance with
the static and dynamic load.
The pressure equipment must not be welded or soldered; no mechanical
encroachment may be carried out.
No additional forces and/or moments may affect the pressure equipment. The
pressure equipment must not be subject to any kind of flames or electrical and/or
magnetic fields which may lead to heating.
When attaching the consoles/ring make sure that the case of the pressure
equipment does not deform or becomes damaged in some other way.
DSS-G21 13
Pressure Equipment
The pressure equipment may only be set up in rooms that are protected
against lightning strikes and earthquake.
For a safe fastening of the single components use the fastening elements
recommended by the manufacturer. To assure the steadiness of the machine the
operator has to make sure to use suitable securing of the fixing device (using
dowels and screws).
For the required information, instructions and technical specifications needed to
set up the pressure equipment see the operating manual and the general plan.
Before assembly:
- Check delivery for damages during transit and with it assurance of the
technical soundness.
- Instruct the qualified personnel
Prior to the initial start-up of the pressure equipment the operator has to arrange
the acceptance inspection of the complete system.
When filling and emptying pay attention to chap. 2 and chap. 4.

8 Emergencies
This pressure equipment is a passive system that does not have any own drives.
The stored energy is input or output by a customer's active system connected to
it.
Therefore it is appropriate that the operator determines and documents in the
work instructions when emergency measures such as actuating the emergency
off systems or triggering/releasing the depressurization quick are to be taken.

9 Dismounting / Disposal
Before disposal, make sure that the equipment is free of pressure on the gas and
oil side.
Collect media residuals and dispose in accordance with the manufacturer's safety
data sheets.
