5.8.1
Refer to instructions packed with the manometer
for preparing and operating the manometer.
5.8.2
Connect one end of the 3/16" ID tubing to one of
the tubing connectors (elbow) at the top of the
manometer by pushing it over the barbed adaptor.
5.8.3
Open both manometer valves (elbows), per the
instructions with the manometer.
5.8.4
Magnets on the manometer hold it in position on
the reclaimer body or dust-collector body. The
manometer must be vertical so the fluid is level on both
sides.
5.8.5
Adjust the slide rule to align the zero with the
fluid level. Refer to Figure 21.
5.8.6
Needle placement:
Figure 20 shows the
manometer setup for taking both periodic and frequent
static-pressure readings.
Figure 20
5.8.6.1
Taking frequent readings using a permanent
fitting:
A permanent fitting may be installed in the
reclaimer wall, as shown in Figure 20, for taking frequent
static-pressure readings. Permanent fittings must have a
barb to accommodate the 3/16" ID tubing and have a
means of sealing the fitting when the manometer is not
in use. Use silicone sealer or other sealant to seal
around the fitting to prevent leaks. The fitting should be
capable of being capped when the manometer tube is
removed. Sealing the fitting will prevent leaks that alter
the reclaimer’s separation efficiency. Air drawn into the
reclaimer will cause carry over of good media to the dust
collector.
5.8.6.2
To take occasional readings:
Leave the
needle protector on the needle and insert the needle into
the unused end of the tubing. The ends of the tubing
must fit tight on the manometer and needle; leaks will
give inaccurate readings. Open the reclaimer fill door,
remove the needle protector, and place the needle so
the point is inside the door opening. Carefully close the
door on the needle. The side of the needle will embed
into the rubber door gasket, creating an airtight seal
5.8.7
Open cabinet doors and turn the exhauster ON.
The negative (static) pressure will move fluid in the tube.
NOTE: Readings must be taken with the cabinet
doors open and with the exhauster running.
Figure 21
The manometer must be vertical
when taking pressure readings.
With the exhauster OFF,
slide the rule to align the
zero with the fluid level.
To obtain the pressure reading: With the
exhauster ON, add the number of
inches the fluid travels up the column to
the inches the fluid travels down the
other column. The total is the static-
pressure reading.
In the example shown, fluid traveled up
the right column 1-3/4"
and down the left column 1-3/4".
Static pressure is determined by adding
the columns together. In the example,
the static pressure is 3-1/2 ".
Refer to Paragraph 5.8.6.2.
When taking occasional
readings, position the
needle so the point is inside
the door opening. Carefully
close the door on the
needle.
Refer to Paragraph 5.8.6.1.
For taking frequent readings,
remove plug and install a
permanent fitting in the
coupling, as shown.
Reclaimers are for reference and
may differ from those shown.
