12.3.1 Porous Plate Replacement
(continued)
Step 7 -
Make mounting holes in new Porous Plate if required (refer to old
Porous Plate as a template.
Step 8 -
Apply gasket material along top and bottom edges of the new
Porous Plate (refer to old plate for position) and make mounting
holes in the gasket as required. Place the new Porous Plate on top
of the Ionization Chamber flange.
Step 9 -
Place the Porous Plate Ring (with new Porous Plate) back in
position, lining up the holes in the mounting flange with those in
the Ionization Chamber flange. Secure them with the (20) hex
head bolts. Tighten the bolts in an alternating pattern to evenly
compress the gasket material and tighten down evenly so that the
Porous Plate is compressed tightly between the flanges to prevent
ionized air leakage around edges of the Porous Plate.
Step 10 -
Restore the system to normal position.
Step 11 -
Add a suitable Electrostatic Fluidized Bed coating powder to the
Coating Bed.
12.3.2 Powder Level Sensor
Make sure that powder is not packed inside the probe tube or it will affect
accurate sensing. Refer to the Dwyer (Photohelic
®
Gauge) information
included in the Appendix of this manual for specific maintenance
instructions.
12.4 COLLECTOR
MODULE
Refer to the Appendix of this Manual for maintenance information on the Powder
Collector.
12.4.1 Cartridge Filters
Inspect the cartridge filters for damage to the filter media or gaskets. Remove
the Final Filter and inspect the Collector Module for powder leaks. If powder is
leaking past the cartridge filter gaskets, tighten the wing nuts on the cartridge
filters to compress the gaskets and stop the leaks. Replace the cartridge filters if
necessary.
