2.5.5. Filling the bottles
- Set filling valve handle to filling position (1, Fig. 100).
- Open bottle valve (2) - bottle will be filled. Drain con
densate regularly during filling. On units with automatic
condensate drain check that condensate is drained reg
ularly.
2.5.6. Removing the bottles
- Upon reaching final bottle pressure close bottle valve
first, then filling valve by returning handle to closed
position (see Fig. 101).
- Remove compressed air bottle.
2.5.7. Switch-over valve
Filling panels for 2 pressure ranges (PN 200 / PN 300) and
with a switch-over valve, with which it is possible to switch
between two pressure ranges, can only be used for one
pressure range at a time. The 200 bar side is opened by
means of the shut-off valve. The 300 bar filling valves re
main pressurized but can only be used up to a pressure of
200 bar. It is impossible to connect 200 bar bottles to the
300 bar filling connections (right hand side).
Before switching from 300 bar to 200
bar, i.e. to the lower pressure range, it is
essential to open the venting valve and to
reduce the 300 bar line to at least 200
bar. Otherwise, the pressure gauge could
be damaged or destroyed.
Open the switch-over valve slowly
in order to avoid a pressure surge!
Filling hoses which are not in use
must be hung in the holders on the bottom of the fill
ing panel, so that should a filling valve be inadver
tently opened, the pressurized air outstream cannot
cause the hose to whip and cause serious injury.
2.5.8. Pressure reducer
Filling panels for 2 pressure ranges (PN 200 / PN 300) and
with a pressure reducer, can be used for filling bottles simul
taneously at two pressures, i.e. simultaneous filling of 200
bar and 300 bar bottles is possible!
The pressure reducer is adjustable to a high precision.
Max. inlet pressure 420 bar
Secondary pressure 0.1 to 280 bar
(range of adjustment)
Temperature range -10 C to +100 C
Normal delivery 32 m
3.
A 20 mm particle filter is installed at the pressure reducer
inlet.
