Caution when handling vapourizer liquid!
Risk of explosion
due to electrostatic discharging
!
Risk of ignition of the flammable liquids contained in the unit top
part, and of the flammable liquids used for filling, due to
electrostatic discharging!
Touch the cap nuts on the holding angle pieces of the top part
with both hands for a short period of time before you open the
glass containers. This will branch off any possible electrostatic
charging of the operator without any risk!
WARNING!
8.1.1
Refilling of distilled water into the reactor
The reactivity of the electrolyte is sufficient for approx. 6000
operating hours (flame).
The quantity of electrolyte in the reactor is reduced by the
electrolytic process. Therefore, check the filling level in the
reactor regularly after approx. 8 hours of gas taking (flame).
Checking the filling level by means of the glass floating body is
possible only when the floating body has been placed inside the
filling duct for initial operation.
For this maintenance work read and observe the safety
warnings given in section 8.1. (e.g. protective goggles and
gloves)!
WARNING!
Check the filling level by means of the glass floating body
only. Do not light the filling duct with the burner flame for
better vision. Risk of explosion!
1. Extinguish the flame at the burner hand piece.
Check of filling level
of electrolyte
2. Press
the
on/off
key
at the operating panel to switch off
the gas production.
3. Shortly open the burner hand piece valve (release the
residual pressure).
4. Open the screw cap of the filling duct (
see illustration 5.2.D
.)
of the electrolyte reactor.
5. Check the glass floating body in the filling duct:
The maximum filling level of the reactor is reached when the
upper edge of the glass floating body is level with the upper
edge of the filling duct (
see illustration 5.3.B
.). If the floating
body is several centimetres below this position, refill distilled
water.
6. For this put the funnel (delivered with the unit) onto the
filling duct and carefully fill distilled water until the upper
edge of the glass floating body is level with the upper edge
of the filling duct (
see illustration 5.3.B
).
