Figure 3 - 500 PPD (10 kg/h) Meter Panel
250 PPD [5 kg/h] & 300PPD (6 kg/h) Chlorine only)
3 START-UP
Follow the instructions provided in the vacuum regulator instruction manual 100.6010 for complete system
start-up procedures.
After the system has been tested for leaks and is operating, adjust the rate valve to the desired gas flow rate.
The flow rates are in PPD (pounds per day) of chlorine.
If feeding sulfur dioxide, the actual flow rate is 0.95 of the scale value. For example, a reading of 50 PPD
(1 kg/h) is actually 45 PPD (0.95 kg/h) sulfur dioxide.
If feeding ammonia, the actual flow rate is 0.50 of the scale value. For example, a reading of 50 PPD (1 kg/h)
is actually 25 PPD (0.5 kg/h) ammonia.
Read the flowmeter scale at the center of the ball.
NOTE: NEVER use the rate valve on the remote meter panel to shut off the gas supply. This valve is for
adjusting flow rate while the system is in operation. If used for shutoff, this valve will be damaged. To shut off
the gas, close the gas container valve.
