1/ GAS TO BE USED
The RAFALE and RAFALE + are intended for use with commercial propane in the gas phase under
pressure: see table of technical specifications. Never lay the gas cylinder flat. It should preferably be
placed in a special EXPRESS trolley Item. 666. Never attempt to heat the cylinder with the RAFALE
or with another flame. If problems are encountered in terms of flow-rates, of low pressures or frosting,
then use the EXPRESS cylinder coupler Item. 18970 or a cylinder of larger capacity. You should
contact EXPRESS in the event of any other malfunctions.
2/ VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
All RAFALE equipment, like any equipment which uses gas, consumes air and discharges combustion
products which contain carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water vapour.
Inhalation of carbon monoxide is dangerous and may be lethal at higher concentrations. It is
therefore essential to ensure that adequate ventilation of workstations is provided when not working
in the open air.
A commonly accepted value is 2 m³ of air per kW per hour for continuous use.
3/ PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS AND PRECAUTIONS DURING CONNECTION
The use of propane cylinders is allowed in industrial locations.
Cylinders other than those cylinders connected to the equipment must be stored outdoors or in areas
assigned for this purpose (protected from heat and provided with low-level ventilation). Propane gas is
heavier than air and cylinders must therefore be kept away from cellars, drains, manholes etc.
4/ CONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT.
The use of the original hose and the original regulator is compulsory with this equipment. To be fitted
to a cylinder of sufficient capacity (13 kg cylinders are recommended).
Check that the
flat seal is in
good condition
Versions of devices are available for cylinders from other countries: please contact us. Small capacity
cylinders (5 kg) do not provide sufficient flow-rates for normal use.
Open the gas cylinder valve. Set the regulator by depressing the button for a few seconds. Check for
leaks at connectors (valve/cylinder, inlet to gun) using detergent solution. ATTENTION: never use a
flame for detecting leaks.
