4. Filter installation

The fi lters are supplied in a ready to operate condition and can be installed directly
into the pipe system. To prevent transport damage, any ordered options come
separately packed. These accessories must be fi tted to the fi lter before commis-
sioning and in accordance with the respective instructions supplied.
Also heed the information provided in the ancillary documents coming
with the accessories when installing ATEX-compliant accessories!
The control of electronic accessories for ATEX-compliant fi lters must be
intrinsically safe.

Requirements and preparatory activities

◊ As a rule, the fi lters should always be used in the pipe system at the point with
the lowest temperature.
◊ Ensure that the pipeline system is free of any contamination and clean it before
installing the fi lter, if necessary.
◊ To ensure larger particles are safely trapped, a suitable strainer fi lter must be
installed upstream of any C, CF fi lter element.
◊ A safety device for maintaining the maximum working pressure and the permis-
sible gas temperature must be available. This safety device must prevent that
limit values are exceeded.
◊ A suitable pressure relief device and a condensate drain must be installed for
the fi lter. This safety device must prevent critical gas from escaping into the
atmosphere.
Danger due to release of a critical gas!
The release of a critical (explosive, fl ammable, poisonous) gas
from the network can constitute a considerable risk for man and
environment.
Therefore heed the following before working on fi lters for critical
gases
— fl ush the pipe section in question with inert gas
— have the notes on hazardous substances for the used gas ready
— take appropriate protection measures
— verify the absence of an explosive atmosphere

Installation

▶ Before installing the fi lter:
— fl ush the pipe section in question with inert gas if necessary
— and depressurise the system.
▶ Check fi lter for possible transport damage. Do not fi t a damaged fi lter.
▶ If necessary, fi t a bracket or pipe support. Construct the support device such
that it can bear the weight of a fi lter completely fi lled with liquid.
▶ Heed the fl ow direction when installing the fi lter in the pipeline! The gas must
fl ow through the fi lter in the direction of the arrow on the upper housing only.
