7.6 DuoControl switching facility
The DuoControl is an automatic switching facility with a remote display for a
two-bottle gas system. The DuoControl switching facility automatically
switches gas supply from the primary bottle to the reserve bottle as soon as
the primary bottle is either empty or no longer ready for operation. The gas
appliances may still continue operation. The DuoControl switching facility is
suitable for all commercial gas bottles from 3 kg to 33 kg.
Construction of the unit The DuoControl switching facility consists of a reversing valve (Fig. 52,3) and
an operating unit (Fig. 53). The reversing valve is installed between the gas
tubes (Fig. 52,2 and 5). The knob (Fig. 52,4) on the reversing valve is used to
select which of the gas bottles is to be used as a primary bottle and which is
to be used as a reserve bottle.
The reversing valve is equipped with the regulator defroster Eis-Ex. This pre-
vents damage to the gas system during the winter months.
