Clearing Plugged Application Tubes

A plugged application tube

often results in the delivery tubing

lifting off the tine tubing at the clamp

(an “open line plug”). The disconnect is usually easy to spot in the field as a condensation cloud from the row. The row

is likely to be taking more than its equal share of NH

from the flow divider. You may see a drop in pressure at the flow

divider gauge (

on page 28).

If the plugged line remains closed (“closed line plug”),

the tubing may be completely full of liquid

by the

time you detect the problem

. You may notice an increase

in pressure at the flow divider gauge

, or pressure

pulses, as trapped liquid warms, periodically vaporizes,

and blows back into the flow divider (

on page 28).

Clearing Open Line Application Plugs

1. Stop operation (page 68).
2. Discharge the system (page 116).
3. If the tine tubing is cold, wait for it to warm to ambient

temperature (and vaporize any liquid NH

inside).

4. Use a thin flexible tool (a coat hanger wire may

suffice) to clear the tine tube from above or below.

5. Reconnect the application tubing. Squeeze the

spring clamp

. Slide it up the delivery tubing. Push

the delivery tubing onto the tine tube about

inch (19 mm). Slide the spring clamp to centered

in the overlap.

Clearing Closed Line Application Plugs

1. Review the WARNING at the top of this page.
2. Stop operation (page 68).
3. Discharge the system (page 116).

The standard

discharge is not likely to adequately discharge any

plugged or closed lines

. Expect continuing vapor

release at non-plugged rows. The plugged line

discharges back through the flow divider, and out the

other rows.

4. Wait until the plugged tine has warmed to ambient

temperature, and the liquid level in the plugged loop

is about the same as in the open loops.

5. Squeeze the spring clamp

. Slide it up the tubing.

Pull the delivery tubing off the tine tubing.

6. Use a thin flexible tool (a coat hanger may suffice) to

clear the tine tube from above or below.

7. Reconnect the application tubing. Squeeze the

spring clamp. Slide it up the delivery tubing. Push the

delivery tubing onto the tine tube about

inch (19 mm). Slide the spring clamp to centered

in the overlap.
