Separator banks that have identical gauges, filters and manual valving. SEPARATOR
ORIFICE SIZE DICTATE SYSTEM PHASE.
2.1.3.2. Main Control Enclosure/HMI (Human Machine Interface) – Unless otherwise stated at
time of purchase, the separator stand will be where the main control enclosure and HMI
are located. This enclosure contains the logic controller that operates the entire system.
The HMI is located on the front of this enclosure and is where the user can monitor and
control the system.
2.1.3.3. Motor Starter Box – The motor starter box is located on the back of the separator stand
and houses the motor starter that controls the motor on the diaphragm compressor.
2.1.3.4. Air Valve Manifold – The Air valve manifold is located on the back of the separator
stand directly behind the Main Control Enclosure. This manifold controls the air to each
air actuated ball valve via red
¼″
airline.
2.1.3.5. Standard Vent Line – This vent collects all the standard vent lines (lines that are vented
by the user or typically by the system at the end of the cycle) and should be vented
outside by a vent line of the same pressure rating as the system. The discharge line
should be ½
″
in diameter and no longer than 50 feet.
2.1.3.6. Safety Vent Line – This vent line safety vent lines (lines that are vented to protect the
system from over pressurization) and should be vented outside by a vent line of the same
pressure rating as the system. The discharge line should be ½
″
in diameter and no longer
than 50 feet.
2.1.3.7. Pressure Gauges – There are four pressure gauges located on the separator stand, two
for each set of separators. The gauge located behind the main separator (psi range of
0-2000) is the inlet pressure for the separator and should match the pressure of the
extractors when the system is flowing. The second gauge is the pressure inside the
separators and should match the separator pressure on the HMI.
2.1.3.8. Separator Filters – Each separator bank has its own separator filter. These filters should
be inspected and cleaned between runs on the separator bank. See the Preventive
Maintenance section on page 34.
2.1.3.9. Locking Vessel Isolation Valves – Each separator bank has two locking isolation
valves that should be utilized whenever the operator is working in any vessel. The bottle
connections have an isolation valve as well. These valves are intended to valve off the
inlet and outlet of the vessel bank to protect the user from any release of pressure.
WARNING : Failure to use these valves can lead to injury.
2.1.3.10. Vent Valves – Each separator bank has its own vent valve (Valve 10) that can be used
to release pressure from that bank of separators. These valves should be vented to the
vent valve manifold located above the air valve manifold.
2.1.3.11. Collection Valve A and B – Each separator bank has its own collection valve that can
be used to collect oil from Separator A. Open valve before removing the bottom cap.
2.1.3.12. Evacuation Valve A and B – Each separator bank has its own evacuation valve that can
be used to evacuate (draw a vacuum) the whole system before a run or evacuate the
individual separator banks while running. See Manual Screen Section 2.2.5 on page 17
on the HMI to evacuate the entire system.
2.1.3.13. Separator Flow Switch – The flow switch continually monitors for water flow in the
separator loop and will stop the system if flow is lost.
2.1.3.14. E-Stop Button – The E-Stop (Emergency Stop) Button can be depressed by the user at
any time and will stop the system, turn off the pump, turns off the chillers and isolate
every vessel.
