8.
Similarly, wet the -220 size O-ring in the other end of the body and the mating
surface of the Disruptor horn and fit the body over the Disruptor horn.
9.
Screw the body on the Disruptor horn until it bottoms and then back it off ¼ turn.
10.
The body should not be tightened on the horn.
11.
Adjust the sonication annulus by screwing the holder in or out the appropriate
distance from the radiating face on the tip of the horn.
12.
Connect soft plastic inlet and outlet tubing to the fittings provided, with valves as
required.
13.
Valves should be installed at the outer ends of the tubing to minimize the weight
hanging from the horn.
14.
Test the completed assembly for leakage before pressurizing.
Flow can be in either direction if only one inlet is used. It may be more advantageous to
direct flow upwards through the orifice holder and out through the body fitting. Flow must be
from the body toward the orifice holder if two inlets are used.
Orifice retainer and holder are stainless steel and have very fine threads shipped with a light
film of machine oil to prevent galling. If the oil film is removed with the use of solvents or
any other means, apply molybdenum disulfide, powdered Teflon, graphite or other
appropriate lubricant.
Stainless Steel Model (Part # 800C)
1.
Clean cell and all metallic parts with appropriate solution.
2.
Install #228 O-ring on horn.
3.
Connect horn to convertor. Tighten using pin spanner wrenches as
described in 6-3 and 6-4.
4.
Push horn into upper section of cell, until fully seated.
5.
Place one 3" sanitary gasket on upper flange.
6.
Place each half of split upper ring over gasket, checking the seating of rings on
gasket.
7.
Place 3" clamp around upper flange and hand tighten.
8.
Thread flow tube into liquid inlet and wrench tighten.
9.
Place sanitary gasket on liquid inlet and place inlet against cell, checking the seating
of gasket.
10.
Place 3" sanitary clamp around lower flange and hand tighten.
11.
Connect cell to plumbing via ½" union. Connect vent line via ½" union.
12.
Connect convertor cable to convertor and generator.
13.
If cell/convertor assembly can not be supported by the inlet/outlet plumbing, a clamp
around the cell may be used. If clamping both cell and convertor, DO NOT clamp in
a manner which will cause misalignment on axial centerline of cell and convertor.
