Water separator (Threaded) - BEKO TECHNOLOGIES - #5

Text version of the page

Function The separator housings are equipped with internal swirl inserts, that cause air entering at high speed to be invested with a rapid rotating motion. The acceleration this causes produces a large centrifugal force on the particles and droplets within the compressed air, which propels them onto the outer wall. Gravity causes them to drip from there into the collecting chamber from which they are then drained. Installation CLEARPOINT water separators undergo stringent qual-ity control procedures in the manufacturing plant and are handed over to the forwarding agent in a perfect condition. Upon arrival of the goods, please check for any visible damage and, where appropriate, insist on a corresponding note on the delivery receipt. Get in touch immediately with the forwarding agent and arrange for an assessment of the damage. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage caused during transport. Positioning: The housing should be mounted in a vertical position. Observe the direction of flow which is indicated by an arrow on the housing. If the pipe network is affected by vibration, it is re-com-mended to install vibration dampers. englishSafety rules Installation: The bottom of the filter is double-threaded. It must therefore be ensured that the bottom is not installed with the slide facing backwards. For correct installation, the closed slide should face to the front.For better water separator efficiency, it is recommended to install the device at a preferably cool, but frost-pro- tected point along the pipe network. In the case of CLEARPOINT models supplied with a BEKOMAT condensate drain as a standard, please observe the instructions in the corresponding docu-mentation.The condensate must be disposed of in compliance with the valid legal regulations. Condensate treatment using an ÖWAMAT oil-water separator or a BEKOSPLIT emul-sion splitting plant represents a particularly economic solution. • The personnel carrying out the installation, commis-sioning, maintenance or repair of the device must be properly qualified for this type of work. In particular, the persons concerned must - be suitably trained and familiar with handling compressed-air systems besides being informed about the associated dangers, - know the content of the relevant instructions for installation and operation, and - possess vocational qualifications or entitlements in this particular field of work. • Before the start of any work, the housing must first be depressurized. • In the case of CLEARPOINT filters with BEKOMAT all the rules of the separate instructions need to be complied with. • To ensure safe functioning, only use the device within the operational limits (operating pressure, operating temperature, volumetric flow, material stability).• Where a BEKOMAT is installed, it must be ensured that the device is designed for the stated volumetric flow of compressed air or gas. Condensate surges into the device can impair the function.• In the event of leaks, shut off the compressed-air sup-ply immediately and eliminate the cause in order to maintain safe and cost-effective operation. • CLEARPOINT filters, including accessories, must be checked once a week. This applies in particular to the function of the separator. Areas of application CLEARPOINT water separators are designed for the separation of solid particles and liquid droplets from non-aggressive compressed air or industrial gases.
