Note!
–
The initial and final pressure of the following components must not
overlap with the actuating pressure of the safety valve.
•
Control ball valve RKH1
•
Pumps
–
The actuating pressure must not fall below the minimum value of the
actuating pressure of the safety valve.
Note!
Avoid dropping below the minimum operating pressure. Vacuum,
vaporisation and the formation of vapour bubbles are thus excluded.

Filling the device with water and venting
CAUTION
Risk of burns
Escaping hot medium can cause burns.
•
Maintain a sufficient distance from the escaping medium.
•
Wear suitable personal protective equipment (safety gloves and
goggles).

1.
Use the facility system to fill the device.
–
After you have opened the "DC" ball valve, the vacuum spray pipe will
autonomously fill if the facility system provides sufficient water.
2.
Optional
–
Use the feed and drain cock to fill water into the device (3).
–
Connect a hose at the feed and drain cock (3) of the "VT" vacuum
spray pipe.
3.
Fill the vacuum spray pipe with water.
–
Air escapes via the degassing valve (2) and the water pressure can be
read at the vacuum gauge (1).
