11 Commissioning of the Electro-Katadyn System EK-4 / EK-24
11.1 Basic components:
− Control Cabinet
−
Activator with electrode system
− Flow Switch
The bypass piping (main pipe) is not part of the Katadyn scope of supply. The bypass (“part-stream”)
principle is applied to keep the head loss low and is used in the case of larger flow volumes. The partial
flow diverted through the Electro-Katadyn System receives silver ions in proportionately higher
concentration. The silver dose needed is reached by subsequent mixing of the water in the common pipe
downstream of the Electro-Katadyn. Based on empirical data the following values serve as a guide for
expected flows through the EK:
EK 4: 0.5 m 3 /h
EK 2-6/24: 2.0m 3 /h
11.2 Environmental conditions
Check if the mounting position corresponds to the environmental data in chapter
8.2 Environmental data
11.3 Short installing guide of the EK System
• Mount the Activator body to a suitable place
• Mount the Control Cabinet close to the activator body (activator cable length 1.2m)
•
Connect the inlet piping to the inlet of the activator (G3/4” EK-4, G1” EK-X/24)
• Connect the outlet piping to the outlet piping of the activator (G3/4” EK-4, G1” EK-X/24)
• Connect the drain piping to the drain outlet of the activator (G3/4” EK-4, G1” EK-X/24)
• Wiring the Flow Switch, activator head, the Mains supply and all other optional instruments to the
Control Cabinet (see connection drawings 17.5 Electrical connection / 17.6 Electrical connection
Activator Anode/Cathode).
• Remove screws from activator head.
•
Remove activator head
o If silver anodes and cathodes are not installed, install them according chapter 11.4 Mount
the anodes to the activator
• Check that sealing ring is properly placed on activator head
• Replace activator head on Activator body and screw in the screws (max 4Nm torque)
• Pressurize the whole system and check for leaks.
