Step 4 - Installation of ion-exchange/purification media
cylinders (optional with CENTRA – RDS US)
Note: It is highly recommended that ion-
exchange/purification media
cylinders be
flushed to drain locally before being installed in
the distribution loop.
1.
ENSURE the
ion-exchange/purification media
cylinders are installed as described in section 9.4 -
Installation / replacement of ion-exchange cylinders.
2.
OPEN point of use in distribution loop and direct full
flow to drain to flush cylinder (recommended flush is
a minimum of three bed volume or as appropriate for
the application).
3.
OPEN isolating valve (V6) and close bypass valve
(V7). See flow diagram 3.3 Section 3.
4.
CLOSE point of use.
Note: If an ion-exchange cylinder is installed into the
recirculation loop of a CENTRA – RDS US the
quality monitoring will require resetting. Contact
technical support or your local ELGA LabWater
representative.
Step 5 - Distribution loop pressure adjustment
1.
LOCATE the pressure adjustment valve.
2.
ADJUST the pressure in the distribution loop by
TURNING the knob ANTI-CLOCKWISE to decrease
pressure and then use the lock nut to stop it moving.
Note: If the valve starts to make a high pitch noises at
the required settings adjust the valve slightly and
the noise will stop. The noise is caused by the
matching of the natural harmonics of the spring
within the valve and is not a malfunction of the
CENTRA
.
CAUTION!
The CENTRA pressure regulator is factory set
to maintain a pressure of 3 bar (typically) at
the end of the distribution loop.
WARNING! Pressure in the distribution loop may
increase, due to filters blocking etc. which
may lead to increased distribution pressure (6
bar maximum). The CENTRA – RDS US unit is
fitted with sensors to detect high pressure
situations and will shut the unit off if >6 bar is
detected. Any equipment installed within the
distribution loop should be rated to 6 bar to
ensure the equipment remains within safe
operating limits.
To adjust the pressure in the distribution loop requires specialist
equipment and it is recommended that changes are made by an
ELGA LabWater Service Engineer.
