Figure 20. Illustration of using two wrenches to remove flexible metal lines
2.14.3.
Remove the yellow wire connected to the Separator #1 and 2 thermocouples.
2.14.4.
Use the
5
/
8
″ ratchet wrench to remove the high-pressure sanitary clamps from the top
of both Separator Vessels.
2.14.5.
Remove the caps from the top of all Separator Vessels.
2.14.6.
Collect any available oil from the separator caps.
2.14.7.
Use alcohol to clean the caps and orifice tube.
2.14.7.1. Separator caps must be cleaned after every run.
2.14.8.
Use the supplied round squeegee to push any residual oil from the sides of the
Separators down to the bottom of the Separators.
2.14.9.
Use the 5/8-in ratchet wrench to remove the high-pressure sanitary clamps from the
bottom of the Separator Vessels.
2.14.10.
Turn off the chiller/heater.
2.14.11.
Disconnect the two blue water line quick connects on the back of the collection cup.
2.14.12.
Remove the collection cup from Separator #1 and Separator #2 and the bottom cap
from Separator #3.
2.14.13.
Collect the oil from inside the collection cup.
2.14.13.1. Note: There is typically residual dry ice in the collection cup mixed in with
the oil. The dry ice will sublimate without any additional heat. It is
sometimes more efficient to remove the dry ice/oil mixture and place it in
a collection device (like a Pyrex dish).
2.14.14.
Use the round squeegee and alcohol to thoroughly clean the inside of the Separators
and collection cup.
2.14.15.
Both Separators and the collection cup must be cleaned after each extraction.
2.14.16.
Reassemble all Separators by reversing the steps above. The exception here is the
sanitary clamps. The nuts on the sanitary clamps need to be inspected for thread
wear or damage. The nuts on the sanitary clamps need to be replaced if they are
worn or damaged and the nuts need to be put back on with a torque wrench at 20 lb.
ft. See Figure 18.
2.14.17.
Reconnect the water lines before turning on the chiller/heater.
