7.4 Tank venting
CAUTION
Risk of burns on hot surfaces
Excessive surface temperatures on the compressor can result in skin burns.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment (safety gloves, for example).
Upon completion of the start routine, you must vent the primary tank and the secondary tanks, if applicable.
• Open the tanks' discharge ports to permit the air to escape.
• Select Automatic mode on the controller's operator panel, see chapter 8.1.1 "Automatic mode" on page 37 .
The "CO" compressor builds up the pressure required venting. This pressure is 0.4 bar above the set minimum operating pressure. The
tanks' diaphragms are pressurised to this level and the water side in the tanks is vented. Close the discharge ports of all tanks after the
compressor has automatically shut down.
Notice!
Inspect all compressed air connections between the control unit and the tanks for leaks. Subsequently, slowly open all cap
valves at the tanks to create the water-side connection to the facility system.
7.5 Filling the tanks with water
Prerequisite for fault-free filling is a make-up pressure at least 1.3 bar above the set minimum pressure "P
0
".
• Without automatic make-up:
– Use the discharge ports or the facility system to manually fill the individual tank to approximately 30 % of the tank volume, see
chapter 6.4 "Make-up and degassing variants" on page 25 .
• With automatic make-up:
– The tanks are automatically filled to approximately 12 % of the tank volume, see chapter 6.4 "Make-up and degassing variants"
on page 25 .
7.6 Starting Automatic mode
Automatic operation can be set after initial commissioning. Start the automatic mode at the operator panel of the controller.
The following prerequisites must be met for automatic operation:
• The device is filled with compressed air and water.
• All required parameters are defined in the controller.
Press "Auto" for automatic mode at the controller operator panel.
• The "Auto" LED at the operator panel illuminates to visually signal automatic mode.
Notice!
Initial commissioning is completed and the device is in continuous operation.
