2 Safety

2.1 Intended use

The double-seal valve type C is used for the mixproof separation of cleaning

media at flow path intersections in pipe systems.

The medium should preferably flow in the opening direction of the valve disk to

avoid pipe hammers when the valve is opened or closed.

If the valve is used in the opposite direction (valve closing), a damping cylinder

can be used to avoid pressure drops.

Do not install the valve in spring-opening, as this will open when there is a current

or air failure and leads to product mixing.

Hint!

The manufacturer will not accept any liability for damage resulting

from any use of the valve which is not in accordance with the

designated use of the valve. The risk is borne solely by the operating

company.

2.1.1 Requirements for operation

The prerequisite for reliable and safe operation of the component is proper

transportation and storage as well as professional installation and assembly.

Operating the unit within the limits of its designated use also involves adhering to

the operating, inspection and maintenance instructions.

2.1.2 Pressure equipment directive

The component is a piece of pressure equipment (without safety function) in the

sense of the pressure equipment directive 2014/68/EU. Classified according to

Annex II in category 1.

According to the scope of directive 2014/34/EC, article 1, paragraph 2, f, the

exception of the directive applies, due to conformity with the machine directive

2006/42/EU.

The nominal diameters smaller than DN 25 are subject to article 4, paragraph 3

of the Pressure Equipment Directive which specifies sound engineering practice.

Nominal diameters ≥ IPS 4“; DN 125 valid for the fluid group II.

In the event of any deviations, GEA Tuchenhagen GmbH will supply a specific

Declaration of Conformity.

2.1.3 ATEX directive

In areas with an explosive atmosphere, only valves suitable for use in such areas

may be used.

Refer to and observe the additional operating instructions “ATEX version valves”.

For details regarding the marking of valves for potentially hazardous areas also

refer to the additional operating instructions “ATEX version valves”.

Safety

Intended use

430BAL008331EN_4

18.02.2022 9

If these valves are used in areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere, you

must absolutely comply with directive 2014/34/EC with respect to all ignition

hazards.

2.1.4 Improper operating conditions

operating conditions. Therefore avoid improper operating conditions.

The operation of the component is not permitted if:

•Persons or objects are in the danger zone.

•Safety devices are not working or were removed.

•Malfunctions have been detected on the component.

•Damage to the component has been detected.

•Maintenance intervals have been exceeded.

2.2 Operator’s Duty of Care

•Inform personnel regarding any properties of the product which might pose a

health risk and the preventative measures to be taken.

•Have a qualified first-aid representative on call during the operation. This

person must be able to initiate any necessary first-aid measures in case of an

emergency.

•Clearly define procedures, competences and responsibilities for those

working in the area of the component. Everybody must know what to do in
