4.3
Optional Manometer
NOTE: These instructions show several methods of taking
static pressure readings (negative pressure) on the Pulsar
®
3D Reclaimer by using a flexible-tube manometer. Use the
method best suited for the application. The instructions
explain the processes for taking periodic readings and
show how to permanently install the manometer for taking
frequent readings. Permanent fittings should be installed
when the manometer installation is permanent. 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. This will
prevent leaks that alter the reclaimer’s separation
efficiency. Taking readings at different locations could
produce different readings. Static pressure readings at the
door are generally 0.5" to 1" lower than readings taken
above the reclaimer. The readings are reference points, so
readings should be taken using the same method each
time the reading is taken.
4.3.1
Refer to instructions packed with the manometer
for preparing and operating the manometer.
4.3.2
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.
4.3.3
Open both manometer valves (elbows), per the
instructions with the manometer.
4.3.4
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.
4.3.5
Adjust the slide rule to align the zero with the fluid
level. Refer to Figure 8
4.3.6
Needle placement:
Figure 7 shows the
manometer setup for taking both periodic and frequent
static pressure readings.
4.3.6.1
Taking frequent readings using a permanent
fitting:
A permanent fitting may be installed in the
reclaimer wall, as shown in Figure 7, 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 carryover of good media to the dust
collector.

4.3.6.2
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
4.3.7
Open cabinet door and turn the exhauster ON.
The negative (static) pressure will move fluid in the tube.
NOTE: Readings must be taken with the cabinet door
open and with the exhauster running.
Refer to Paragraph 4.3.6.2.
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 4.3.6.1.
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.
