– Flosense 4.0 Manifold 16-06-2020
Version 002
Flow must never exceed the maximum capacity; failure to comply with this precaution may
damage the sensor.
Flow sensors are called:
VFS8 1-18 E (1-20 l/min standard)
VFS8 2-40 E (2-40 l/min standard)
VFS8 1-18 K (1-20 l/min high temperature)
VFS8 2-40 K (2-40 l/min high temperature)
Pressure sensors are called:
RPS6 0-10 E (0-10 bar standard)
RPS6 0-10 K (0-10 bar high temperature)
A 3-way ball valve is recommended to be installed either on, or before the main inlet, to
enable purging of the manifold and mould with pressurized air. If needed for draining, also
add a 3-way ball valve after the main outlet of the manifold. Pressurized air inlet must be
adjustable (pressure reducer)
During startup (empty mould and manifold)
1. Fully open all ball valves to/from the mould
2. Open the main return outlet valve on the manifold
3. Slowly open the main inlet valves on the manifold and start filling the system
4. Adjust the inlet flow to match the needed flow only.
5. Let it run until all air is out of the system before fully opening the main valve.
Purging (emptying mould with pressurized air)
1. Turn the main inlet valve in blocked/closed position.
2.
Turn the main outlet valve in “drain” position
3.
Turn the main inlet valve in “pressure air in position”
4. Open the adjustable air without exceeding 0.5 bar and ensure slow purge of water.
5. When the system has been emptied, you can fully open the air supply to blow the
circuits dry.
