Kelso Technologies does not recommend the disassembly of constant force
springs by field service personnel. Any damage or deterioration that may be
present on the spring assembly will be apparent with a visual inspection.
DO NOT use steel abrasives or steel wire brushes to clean the springs. Doing
so could cause the spring material to become contaminated and corrode
unnecessarily.
4.2 Cleaning
All components, excluding the spring assembly and spring drums, of the Kelso
PRV may be cleaned using the following:
1. Wire brushes and/or clean towel / cloth
2. Low pressure water, glass bead, sand or soda blasting provided the blast
media is not angular in form
3. A chemical / surfactant application, in conjunction with manufactures
prescribed instructions, to achieve a desired result. It is suggested the
chemical / surfactant be of neutral pH to ensure the integrity of the metal
composition
Regardless of cleaning method, it is suggested that the parts be double
rinsed and dried (w/ sanitary towel) prior to reinstallation and immediately
after any chemical / surfactant application.
Disposal should be managed in accordance with all applicable state and
federal regulations.
5.0 Assembly
Prior to assembly, inspect the valve seat on the valve body and ensure that the
area contacting the seal is smooth and free of any irregularities such as nicks,
gouges, depressions, or porosity. Inspect the spring block assembly ensuring the
spring bolts are tight and the spring drums are in place.
