4-2.5.3 Cylinders Not Close Coupled Using Pilot Nitrogen Cylinder Pressure
For cylinders not close coupled using nitrogen pressure from one pilot nitrogen cylinder, from
one to fifteen slave HFC-227ea cylinders can be actuated from the one pilot nitrogen cylinder
using pressure operated control heads on the slave cylinders. See Figure 4-7.
Slave operation will be through a 5/16 O.D. x 0.032
in wall stainless steel tubing actuator line
having the following limitations:
• Maximum total length of tubing is 320 ft (97.5 m).
• Maximum length of tubing between cylinder #1 and the last cylinder is 220 ft (67 m).
• The nominal min/max. length of tubing between the nitrogen pilot cylinder and HFC-227ea
cylinder #1 is up to 100 ft (30.5 m).
• If required, the nitrogen pilot cylinder can be located at a distance greater than 100 ft (30.5
m) from HFC-227ea cylinder #1. In this instance, tubing length can be taken from the line
between the slave cylinders and added to the line between the nitrogen cylinder and slave
cylinder #1, provided that the maximum total length of tubing does not exceed 320 ft (97.5
m).
• The tubing actuation line must be designed for a minimum working pressure of 1800 PSIG
(124 bar gauge).
