B Series Degreaser Maintenance
Rev G Page 95
4. Remove the desiccant container from the degreaser and empty the desiccant bag.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for regenerating desiccant.
5. Replace the desiccant bag into the container and fill it with desiccant.
6. Replace the desiccant container in the water separator.
5.6 Boil Down
Boil down minimizes the amount of solvent discarded when the boil sump solvent is cleaned out.
Perform a boil down when the CONTAMINATION WARNING Indicator is lighted but the
degreaser has not shut down on B/S TEMP FAULT.
• Remove 2-3 inches of solvent from the ultrasonic sump. This solvent may be returned to the
degreaser at the end of the boil down.
Caution: Do not drain the ultrasonic sump below the top of the ultrasonic sump heater. Damage
to the heater may result. Excessive wall temperature from an exposed heater may also
turn the solvent acid.
• Turn on the heat.
• Monitor the level in the ultrasonic sump. Drain additional solvent if it starts to overflow into
the boil sump.
• Allow the degreaser to boil until it shuts down on B/S TEMP FAULT or B/S LEVEL
FAULT.
• Drain the solvent from the boil sump. Dispose of this contaminated solvent in accordance
with all applicable regulations.
• Refill the degreaser using the solvent removed in the first step. Add solvent as required.
5.7 Cleanout Procedure
It is vitally important that solvent equipment be kept clean for the safety of the operator, the
economy of the operation and the effectiveness of the cleaning.
Warnings:
1. Never enter or lean into a degreaser. Solvent vapors will be present even if the degreaser
appears empty. Solvent vapors displace air and may cause death by asphyxiation. Use the
cleanout door when cleaning the degreaser.
2. Lock out the disconnect switch before cleaning the degreaser.
3. Always consult the solvent manufacturer for contamination information, safe handlin
g
p
ractices and proper storage procedures.
5.7.1 Frequency of Cleaning
Cleaning frequency is determined by the type and amount of soil being removed. At a
minimum, boil down and drain the cleaner when the contamination reaches 25%.
