MAINTENANCE
12.1
Record Keeping
It is suggested that a record is kept of operational data and that all servicing
maintenance is recorded. A maintenance log in included in this IOM.
Operational data to be recorded could include measurements taken of the air
flow rate and the pressure differential across the Panel Pak cartridges. This should
be recorded weekly or monthly. This record can assist with maintenance schedules
and show collector variances due to operations.
Maintenance data to be recorded should include details of inspections and any
parts replaced.
See final page of IOM for Maintenance Interval Checklist.
12.2
Initial Weekly Maintenance
This should be done during the first month of initial collector operation:
Record the differential pressure across the Panel-Pak cartridges at start-up.
Record the collector differential pressure regularly for at least the first 30 days of
operation.
Adverse operating conditions can be detected by a change in differential
pressure. The differential pressure can be read on the display of the pulse controller.
After start-up, the dust collector’s differential pressure should settle to
approximately 2 inches w.g.
The filter cleaning cycle is automatically controlled from the pulse controller
with either the differential pressure set points or the timed interval used to maintain
a steady pressure differential across the filter.
Do not be alarmed if cleaning pulses cause momentary spikes in the
differential pressure readings.
NOTE: The time interval between pulses is factory pre-set at 30 seconds. It
may be changed and is dependent on the application. Effective cleaning is reliant
upon pulse frequency, duration and pulse compressed air pressure. The pulse
duration is pre-set at 100 milliseconds. DO NOT change the factory setting without
contacting an AAF International representative.
