Construction and Function

Installation

The vacuum change - over device U 189-010 ensures a continuous gas supply for gas dosing systems by changing the gas supply over in time from the empty supply battery to a stand - by battery. The vacuum change - over device is operable without auxiliary power. From which battery the gas is supplied, is indicated visually, but as an option the change - over position can also be remote indicated via 2 reed contacts. As soon as the vacuum rises to a value of about 3 - 4 m WS / 78" - 118" WC, which can be caused by an empty or closed supply battery, the change - over function is triggered. The change - over device can be used in connection with the chlorine dosing units C 105 and V 107 or V 115.

Connect the vacuum change - over device at the inlet side to two vacuum regulators and at the outlet side to the chlorine gas dosing unit. The inlet connections for the vacuum regulators are marked with the inscriptions IN I and IN II, the connection for the chlorine dosing unit with OUT. The vacuum lines between the vacuum regulators and the change - over device should be kept as short as possible and should not exceed a maximum length of 6 m. Thus a minimum pressure loss can be ensured. A precondition for trouble - free functioning of the vacuum change - over device is the tightness of all lines and connections. see 5.1 / 5.2 Leak test

NOTE

If the chlorine gas dosing units V 107 and V 115 are retrofitted with the change - over device, a compensation for the main regulator has to be provided.

The vacuum change - over device should be installed as depicted in figure 1 on the following page.

Commissioning

5.3

First Commissioning

After having completed the installation continue ommissioning the change - over device.

After the leak test has been terminated successfully, the vacuum change - over device can be commissioned. 1 Entirely open the connecting valves of the drums or cylinders. Start the injector. Thereafter chlorine gas is dosed. The position of the indicator pin of the change - over device signals from which battery the chlorine gas is supplied.

WARNING

The device must be commissioned only by qualified personnel strictly complying with the instructions for handling the hazardous substance chlorine. The qualified staff must wear protective clothing and gas mask when doing the work described in the following. Prior to the initial starting all parts carrying chlorine gas have to be checked for leaks.

NOTE

5.4

Checking the Change - Over Function

Open all cylinders or drums and start the injector. Close the supply battery that is in operation. The change - over device switches the gas supply over to the stand - by battery after a short period of time (that depends on the dosing quantity and the length of the line). Then check, if the changing over from the stand - by battery to the former supply battery functions, as well. Open again all cylinders or drums. The vacuum change - over device is now ready for operation.

5.1
1 2

Leak Test of the Vacuum Side

Close the connecting valves of the drums or cylinders.

2 3

Start the injector. Thereupon the vacuum lines are evacuated and in this operating state the change - over device switches uncontrollably. After about 10 minutes (depending on the length of the vacuum lines and on the setting of the adjusting valve) the rotameter must not indicate a flow. If the rotameter yet indicates a flow, the complete dosing system must be checked for possible leaks. 4

Warning

As precondition for the leak test the chlorine gas dosing unit must be evacuated and free of chlorine gas and the injector be in operation.

To check the single components of the dosing system, disconnect the vacuum lines between the vacuum regulators and the rotameter one after the other and close them tight with the finger. If the rotameter stops indicating a flow after having disconnected one of the vacuum lines, the leaks has to be at the disconnected component.

5.2
1 2

Leak Test of the Pressure Side

Stop the injector. Open the connecting valves of the drums or cylinders by about one revolution. Check the connecting parts and inlet valves of the vacuum regulators for leaks by means of ammonia. Leaks are localized by passing the bottle with ammonia close by the relevant parts and squeezing a little bit of ammonia gas out of the bottle. If there is chlorine gas escaping anywhere, white vapour develops.

WARNING

Even the slightest detected leaks have to be removed immediately.

Fault Correction

The numbers in brackets occurring in the following refer to the items of the enclosed sectional drawings 15.189-200 and 12.4188-300.

FAULT
No changing over

CAUSE
The gas dosing system is leaky, so that the vacuum required for the change - over function cannot be generated.

DISCERNIBLE FROM
The rotameter indicates a flow, although the supply battery (cylinder, drum) is empty or closed.

CORRECTION
Check the dosing system for leaks. For this purpose disconnect the vacuum lines between the rotameter and the vacuum regulators one after the other, close them with the finger and observe the rotameter. See sections 5.1 and 5.2 Leak test. Arrange a compensation for the main regulator.

The change - over device is coupled with a chlorine gas dosing unit V 107 or V 115, without having provided a compensation for the main regulator. The diaphragm (2) or o - ring (3) in the change - over device are leaky. The vacuum regulator lets through only an insufficient amount of chlorine or the vacuum line is too long (this fault occurs mainly with a high flow rate). It can also be the case that a chlorine cylinder is frozen up. Using the change - over device in connection with the vacuum regulator C 105-230 (all vacuum system) the flow rate of each regulator can exceed 600 g/ h or 30 PPD.

The vacuum of 2 - 3 m WS / 52" - 78" WC required for the change - over function is not attained (measure the vacuum between change - over device and regulator with a vacuum meter). The rotameter indicates a flow, although the supply battery (cylinder, drum) is empty or closed. Measure the vacuum after the outlet of the change over device with a vacuum meter. The vacuum must amount to less than 2 m WS / 52" WC.

Replace the defective parts.

The change - over device switches to the stand - by battery despite filled cylinder or drum and opened connecting valve.

Clean the vacuum regulator and restart it or lay a vacuum line with a larger cross section.

Measure the vacuum after the outlet of the change over device with a vacuum meter. The vacuum has to be less than 2 m WS / 52" WC. Adjust a smaller flow rate, so that the value of the operating vacuum falls below that of the vacuum required for the change - over function.

Add a further vacuum regulator with chlorine cylinder to the supply battery, if the maximum flow rate is required.

Spare Parts Set

There is a spare parts set, order no. 553-1024 available for the vacuum change - over device U 189-010. It comprises the o - rings (1 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 7 / 8 / 9), the diaphragm (2) as well as the pressure spring (6). If other than the indicated parts are defective, return the change - over device to the works for repair or replacement.
