1.1 Important Factors


Influencing Safety
The centrifugal separator includes parts that
rotate at high speed, generate high centrifugal
forces, and take a long time to stop rotating.

Materials are carefully chosen and parts are

G0010421
designed with extremely fine manufacturing
tolerances. Rotating parts are carefully bal-
anced to reduce vibration and wear and tear
and to withstand stress and fatigue.

The separation system is designed and


supplied for a specific function (type of liquid,
rotational speed, temperature, density, etc.)
and must be used for this function only, and
strictly within Alfa Laval´s specifications.

Incorrect operation or maintenance is likely to


result in an imbalance due to build up of
sediment, reduction of material strength, etc.
that could lead to serious injury or damage.
These compulsory safety instructions apply:
• Use the separator only for the purpose and
parameter range specified by Alfa Laval.
• Strictly follow the instructions for
installation, operation and maintenance.
• Ensure that personnel are fully trained and
competent in operation, maintenance and
emergency procedures.

1 Safety Instructions Safety

Use only Alfa Laval genuine spare parts and


the special tools supplied.

NOTE

If safety instructions and installation,


operating, and maintenance
instructions in this manual are not
strictly followed, Alfa Laval can not
be held responsible for any
malfunction or injuries resulting.

1.2 Categories of Warning


Signs
Pay attention to the safety instructions in this
manual. Below are definitions of the three
grades of warning signs used when there is a
risk to personnel.

DANGER

Type of hazard

This type of safety instruction


indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

Type of hazard

This type of safety instruction


indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

Type of hazard

This type of safety instruction


indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury.

This sign is used when there is a risk to


equipment.

NOTE

This type of instruction indicates a


situation which, if not avoided, could
result in damage to equipment.

This sign is also used when there is a need to


stress important information.

NOTE

This sign is used to stress important


information, e.g. how to read this
system manual.

Warnings

DANGER
3
m /h
Disintegration kPa

hazard 3
kg/m o
C

Using the separation system outside


rpm
limits specified by Alfa Laval could

S005131A
Hz

cause breakdown.

Do not start the separator after an


emergency stop without first
remedying the cause of the
emergency.

After an emergency stop the


separator bowl must be manually
cleaned before starting up again.

If the interval between sludge


discharges is too long, there is a risk
of heavy side breakdown.

S005561A
If the separator is not assembled and
connected properly it may lead to
disintegration.

If power cables have been altered


always check the rotation direction. If
the separator rotates in reverse vital
rotating parts could unscrew.

Excessive vibration may cause


breakdown.

DANGER

Disintegration
hazard

Do not discharge a vibrating


separator. Vibration can increase if
only part of solidified sludge is
discharged.

Do not enter the room after an


emergency stop while the separator is
still rotating.

Running the separator at overspeed


due to wrong frequency may cause
disintegration.

If the separator rotates in reverse vital


rotating parts could unscrew.

Entrapment hazard

S005111A
Do not switch on without all covers
and guards in place.

Do not begin maintenance work

S005101A
while the machine is still rotating.

1 Safety Instructions Safety

WARNING

Disintegration
hazard

Never reset an alarm without first


finding and remedying the cause.

Operating water shortage may result


in sludge discharge failure and cause
sludge accumulation and heavy
imbalance.

If the separator has been operated at


overspeed, it could be severely
damaged and must be checked before
restarting. Contact Alfa Laval for
instructions.

Each new bunker requires rewiew of


the discharge time setting.

If the interval between sludge


discharges is too long, there is risk of
heavy side breakdown.

Experience has shown that if


intervals between sludge discharges
are too long, a compact and hard
sludge cake can accumulate. On
discharge, this cake may break up
and be discharged unevenly causing
imbalance in the bowl. If imbalance
is excessive, there is risk for serious
mechanical damage and injury to
personnel.

WARNING

Disintegration
hazard

Failure to clean the separator bowl,


including operating system, at
required intervals or after alarms and
stop of bowl may cause imbalance
with risk of injury to personnel.

Noise hazard

Excessive noise can cause damage to


hearing if no ear protection is used

S005161A
Burn hazard

Physical contact with steam from the


valve will cause scalding.

CAUTION

Burn hazard

Process pipes, lubrication oil and


various machine surfaces can be hot
and cause burns.

CAUTION

Slip hazard

Oil leakage may make the floor


slippery and cause injuries

Disintegration
hazard

The bolts on the main flange of the


heater must be checked prior to
installation and start up.

NOTE

Be sure to study all relevant


documentation supplied and become
familiar with the function and
operation of the system and each
particular unit.
