Flowserve HV 215 - Manual (Page 8)

Important Notes
The hydraulically operated loading and unloading system HV 25 is intended solely for filling and draining stationary
and mobile tanks containing pressure liquefied gases.
Its use is permissible only within the allowable pressure and temperature ratings and only if the chemical and
corrosive influences on the equipment are taken into account. Before installing the equipment make sure that the
loading & unloading system is suitable for the intended application and the fluid to be used (corrosion resistance
and chemical suitability).
Modifications to the design may only be made if the manufacturer‘s written permission is obtained.
Any type of use differing from the usage described above must be considered as improper. The resulting risk will
have to be borne by the user alone. The manufacturer hereby expressly rejects any claims for any resulting damage.
The use of external pumps for opening or closing the bottom valves is not permitted.
Usage for the intended purpose
The loading and unloading system must not be installed or commissioned by anyone other than qualified staff.
Maintenance and service work must only be performed by adequately trained persons who have a recognised
level of competence.
For installation, removal, commissioning, operation and maintenance, every person who works with the loading and
unloading system must have read and understood the complete installation manual. Furthermore, responsibilities
must have been defined clearly and unambiguously and must be adhered to.
The operating company must ensure that, whenever the loading and unloading system is being operated, it is in
perfect condition.
Safety notes
Working methods that jeopardise safety must not be used!
Attention
If the loading and unloading system is used in an inexpert or improper manner by unqualified staff, it can cause
danger to life and limb for the user or for third parties, possibly resulting in death.
During operation, the bottom valves of the loaded and unloaded tanks are under pressure. During the loading and
unloading procedure all other components are also under pressure. In this condition, screws as well as nuts and
bolts of the loading and unloading system must not be slackened. Liquid or vaporizing fluids might escape and
could cause severe cases of poisoning and environmental pollution.
During the loading and unloading procedure do not leave the installation unattended.
The shut-off valves might be cold during the loading and unloading procedure. Make sure that the operator wears
protective gloves when operating the handwheels.
Any installation or removal work may only be performed when the tank is at zero pressure and completely free of gas.
When carrying out installation and maintenance work, make sure that the tank cannot be operated accidentally.
