7.4.4.4.
Nitrogen or Manifold Pressure, Low
Low nitrogen pressure is indicated with a message and an audible alarm.
The hydrogen operation cycle is aborted, and the machine goes into a
heat shut down mode. The cycle cannot be restarted until nitrogen
pressure is restored.
7.4.4.5.Hydrogen Pressure, Low
Low hydrogen pressure is indicated with a message and an audible
alarm. The hydrogen operation cycle is aborted, and cannot be restarted
until hydrogen pressure is restored.
7.4.4.6.Plenum Pressure, Low
Low seal pressure is indicated with a message and an audible alarm. The
machine goes into a heat shut down mode and the hydrogen cycle is
terminated.
CAUTION: Low plenum pressure can cause damage to the heating
lamps. Do not continue to operate the machine with low plenum
pressure indication. In the event of low plenum pressure indication,
the machine should be shut down until the problem is found and
corrected.
7.4.4.7.Igniter Failure
Igniter failure is indicated with a message and an audible alarm. If both
igniters in a single stack fail, the hydrogen operation cycle is aborted and
cannot be restarted until the igniters are repaired. If only one igniter fails
in a single stack, the process is not aborted, but an alert occurs.
7.4.5.
Hydrogen Flowmeters
Each of the hydrogen flowmeters is identified with a label as to specific function,
and is adjustable from zero flow to full scale by means of an integral control valve.
See section 2.12.6.7.i for flow correction factors.
7.4.5.1.Control Knob
Turning this knob clockwise decreases the flow; counterclockwise
increases the flow.
7.4.6.
Functional Checkout (With Helium)
RTC recommends that a functional checkout of the hydrogen system be made using
helium gas for safety. It is further recommended that a trace oxygen analyzer and
helium detector be made available for the checkout.
RTC has taken precautions to design the furnace so that it can be safely and reliably
operated on hydrogen. However, if the gas flows are not properly set, air can be
drawn into the machine, or the furnace atmosphere can be discharged out the
entrance or exit, causing a fire hazard. If it is not possible to perform a functional
