Purger Dimensional Information

After going through the control orifice the foul gas passes 
over the tubes in the heat exchanger and residual refrigerant 
is condensed . Liquid accumulation in the shell side of 
the heat exchanger continues until the level reaches the 
differential check valve, where the liquid is recycled back 
to the liquid makeup side of the heat exchanger . This 
“Recycling” of ammonia reduces the need to call for more  
makeup refrigerant to maintain the liquid level on the tube 
side of the heat exchanger .

The Rapid Purger V300 can only purge one point at any given 
time . In the separation of non-condensable gases, purging is 
done automatically and effectively with built in control features 
such as purge sampling .  

In automatic mode, each purge point is sampled for a minimum 
of five minutes .  If the purge conditions are not met within the 
sample time limit, the Rapid Purger continues to the next purge 
point .  When a purge point meets the purge conditions within 
the sample time limit, the Rapid Purger starts the purge cycle .  
The purge cycle shuts off when non-purge conditions are met . 

3 .  Release of Non-Condensable Gases (See Figure 4 for a graphic 

representation of this cycle)

Non-condensable gases will continue to accumulate in 
the “Vapor Vent Float” chamber as it is separated from 
the refrigerant . Once the volume of these gases in the 
float chamber rises past the target pressures, based on the 
sampled temperature, the vent and water solenoids are 
energized and the non-condensable gases are released into 
the water bubbler . For safe disposal, the non-condensable 
gases are diluted in the water .  

Any oil that may collect in the V300 purger can be drained from 
the two oil drains .  Before draining the oil, shut-off the purger 
and close the liquid and foul gas valves .  Allow the purger to 
pump out any remaining refrigerant and close the suction line 
valve .  Use normal oil draining precautions to prevent injury or 
property damage

Installation

All purgers are packed for a maximum protection .  Unpack 
carefully .  Check the carton to make sure all items are unpacked .  
Save the enclosed instructions for the installer and eventual user . 
Do not remove the protective coverings until the purger is ready to 
be installed .

The V300 Rapid Purger includes three

" socket weld (SW) shut-

off isolation valves used for the suction, liquid, and foul gas lines . 

1

4

" national pipe thread (NPT) 30-150 psig ammonia pressure 

gauge is also included for monitoring the suction line .

The V300 Rapid Purger includes a provision for customers to have 
the option to install Parker Safety Relief Valves .  The recommended 
safety relief valve is the SR1R which uses a

" inlet connection and

4

" outlet connection .

Once the purger is ready to be installed we recommend the 
following installation procedure . These instructions are for a new 
system installation . If the purger is being installed in an existing 
system or replacing an existing purger, the high pressure liquid, 
foul gas, and suction lines must be isolated and pumped out .

1 .  Mount the Rapid Purger to a wall or structure that can easily 

handle its weight and installation hardware .  The approximate 
weight of the purger is 34 .5 kg (76 lbs) . Figure 5 provides 
dimensional information for the mounting holes, line locations 
and overall purger height, width and length . 

If mounting the purger outside it is recommended that it be 
protected from natural elements like the sun, rain, etc . The 
outside ambient temperature cannot exceed a range of 2°C to 
54°C (35°F to 130°F) .
