AccuFlow™ Vortex and AccuFlow™ HP+ Installation and Operation Manual

FLOW METER MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT

Refer to the following procedure when removing the flow meter for maintenance or service.

FIGURE 5. Flow Meter Housing and Assembly

1. To avoid introducing foreign material to the AccuFlow system, brush off the outside of the flow meter before

disassembling and removing the flow meter.

2. Carefully remove the retaining rings.
3. After discharging AccuFlow system of NH

3

, remove grooved couplings attaching flowmeter to assembly.

4. Remove the bearing hub, turbine hub, and turbine from inside flow meter housing. Inspect the turbine shaft

and hub bearings for wear.

5. Carefully clean any metal filings, residues, or foreign material from the turbine and hubs. Use pressurized air to

blow metal filings and debris out of both hubs and turbine.

6. To confirm that the turbine and hub bearings are not worn, hold the turbine bearing hub while spinning the

turbine. The turbine should spin freely with very little drag.

7. If the bearing hub stud is adjusted or replaced, repeat step 5 to verify turbine fit before reassembling.
8. Replace the turbine hub and retaining ring in the flow meter housing.
9. Place the turbine and turbine hub inside the flow meter housing so that the stud keys within the flow meter

housing line up with the grooves in the hub.

10. Place the retaining ring on to lock bearing hub in place.

a. Spin turbine by blowing on it.
b. Tighten bearing hub stud until turbine stalls.
c. Loosen the stud 1/3 of a turn. The turbine should be able to spin freely.

DANGER

Anhydrous ammonia can cause severe burning,

blindness, or death. Refer to

Discharging the
