3. Installation
3.1 Transport and storage
• Handle with care, do not throw!
• Dry and cool storage place.
3.2 Unpacking
• Observe when unpacking:
– No humidity should get into gas-leading parts!
– No foreign matter should get into gas-leading parts!
– Remove plugs not until the connections shall be made!
• Mount as soon as possible after unpacking.
3.3 Mounting
Warning
Please read Installation and operating instruction, Chapter 2: Handling Chlorine.
Do not install the vacuum regulator on walls, plates or something similar. Danger of distortion!
The device will only be carried by the connection with the pressure line.
Caution
Ensure that all piping is free of distortion.
Do not mount the device in a distorted manner.

3.3.2 Pressure line connection
TM04 0864
8 / 20
3.3.3 Vacuum line connection
• Push the union nut onto the pipe (in the right direction)
• Place the union end in the pipe
– glue together with PVC glue
• If not yet present, place the o-ring on the connection
• Place the pipe on the connection
• Tighten the union nut by hand
TM04 0866
Warning
The overpressure line has to lead downwards, as chlorine is heavier than air.
Do connect the overpressure line to a suitable absorption vessel! The overpressure line must not dip into
the absorption fluid!
The overpressure line must end in the room and not lead in the open air!
9 / 20
4. Commissioning
4.1 Preparations for commissioning
4.1.1 Vacuum connections
Warning
Before connecting, ensure that the valves of all gas containers are closed.
Only use the intended line types!
Danger of damages!
Caution Maximum length of the vacuum line, see chapter 2.1.5 Between vacuum regulator and dosing
regulator
• At the vacuum regulator, connect the vacuum line and connect it to the dosing regulators.
Warning
Lead the overpressure line downwards, as chlorine is heavier than air.
Connect the overpressure line to a suitable adsorption device. If using a gas warning device:
Mount the sensor in a distance of about 10 cm from the outlet hole of the adsorption device.
The overpressure line must end in the room, never lead to the open air!
• Connect the overpressure line to the overpressure connection.
• Connect the vacuum line to the injector.
Warning
Check the tightness not until the total plant is ready for start-up.
Danger of gas leakage!
Warning
Before checking the tightness:
Start running the optional built-in liquid trap or the seperate liquid trap!
Danger of gas leakage!
10 / 20
4.2.2 Checking the tightness with nitrogen
• Close all container valves
• Open container connection valves and all shut-off valves up to the gas dosing system
• Open the connection valve of the nitrogen cylinder
• Slowly open the valve of the nitrogen cylinder, until the lines have a pressure of about 10 bar (read at the
manometer of the vacuum regulator).
Warning
Maximum nitrogen pressure 16 bar!
Danger of damages and gas leakage when being exceeded!
• Apply leakage spray or soap water to all components under pressure
– Formation of bubbles and/or pressure drop at manometer
-->Leakage in pressure lines!
• Depressurize the plant!
• Eliminate leakage!
• Check tightness again!
– No formation of bubbles, pressure at manometer does not drop significantly within one hour
--> Pressure lines are tight.
11 / 20
4.2.3 Checking the tightness with ammonia
• Open all container valves and container connection valves and quickly close them again
• Slowly pass the open ammonia bottle along pressure-gas leading parts
– Formation of white mist: Leakage in pressure lines!
• Depressurize the plant!
• Eliminate leakage!
• Check tightness again!
Warning
Liquid ammonia must not come in contact with parts of the plant!
Danger of leakages by corrosion!
TM04 0698 0908
