5.2.3 Maintenance
5.2.3.1 Replacing the Cartridge
See Figure 5-6.
1. Depressurize system before starting any maintenance, by opening the condensate drain valve and
bleed valve.
2. Unscrew plug (5) on top of the housing (4).
3. Extract old cartridge. (2)
4. Dry inside of the housing (4) with a clean cloth. Check for corrosion. Replace if necessary.
5. Lubricate threads, O-rings and threaded portion of replacement cartridge with petroleum jelly.
6. Insert new cartridge and secure in place with plug (5).
5.2.3.2 Chamber Replacement Interval
The maximum number of load cycles for the P0 Purification Assembly is 45,000 if operated at 5,000 psi
(300 bar) or 63,000 if operated at 3,200 psi (225 bar).
If the number of load cycles of four per hour (i.e. the condensate is drained every fifteen minutes) is not
exceeded then the maximum number of operating hours before the P0 Purification System must be
replaced is 11,250 hours at 5,000 psi (300 bar). To avoid exceeding the maximum number of load cycles
the operating hours should always be recorded.
5.2.3.3 CO & Moisture Indicator
Each CO & moisture indicator element is stamped with a date. The elements have a shelf life of one year.
Replace the element annually or if element has changed color. To replace the indicator element, see
Figure 5-8 and proceed as follows:
1. Release the pressure from the system.
2. Unscrew the indicator cap (2) from the indicator base (5).
3. Remove the old element (3).
4. Place the new indicator element with the active side facing the indicator window (1).
5. Reinstall the indicator cap (2), ensuring the spring (4) is in place and holding the indicator element
against the window.
NOTICE
The used filter cartridge must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
^ WARNING
The P0 Purification System is subject to dynamic loading. It is designed for a certain number of load
cycles. A load cycle equates to an abrupt pressure loss caused by draining the condensate.
The P0 Purification System must be replaced after reaching the maximum number of load cycles, other-
wise the housing may fail due to material fatigue.
