Intended Use - Truma Gasfilter Instructions De Montage

Intended use

Evaporation residue such as olefines, paraffins and other
hydrocarbon compounds gets into the liquid gas during man-
ufacture and via the logistics chain. These oily substances
are transported from the liquid gas cylinder in the form of
aerosols (liquid droplets in the micrometer range) in the flow
of gas, and are deposited in the gas pressure regulators, pipe-
lines or valves.
The proportion of evaporation residue in liquid gas depends
on various factors. These include the extracted gas volume,
the pressure and the temperature during extraction, the gas
cylinder used and the standards at the filling plant.
The Truma gas filter is designed solely for filtering aerosols, i.e.
liquid droplets in the gas flow and separates out up to 99.9% of
the oily substances thanks to its efficient filter element.
It is not suitable for filtering purely gaseous or purely liquid
residues.
No warranty is given for failure of gas pressure regula-
tors, valves or other components in the liquid gas sys-
tem caused by oil contamination or other foreign substances
in the liquid gas.
Proper use
The gas filter is approved solely for installation and operation
in "caravans" of vehicle class O and "motor homes" ("motor
caravans") of vehicle class M1 if the gas system has been in-
stalled in accordance with EN 1949.
The national legislation and regulations for operating and
testing gas installations (e.g. DVGW Work Sheet G 607 in
Germany) must be observed.
When the appliance is used commercially, the operator must
ensure that special legal and insurance regulations that
apply in the respective destination country are observed (in
Germany e.g. DGUV regulations).
Improper use
All other uses not listed under proper use are improper and
therefore prohibited.
This applies for example to installation and operation in:
– Motor buses (vehicle classes M2 and M3),
– Commercial vehicles (vehicle class N),
– Boats and other water vessels,
– Hunting/forestry huts, weekend homes or awnings.
Installation in trailers and vehicles used to transport hazard-
ous goods is prohibited.
