DICE
TM
module depressurizing
In order to fully depressurize in DICE
TM
module two actions are
required:
Downstream of the back pressure valve
Depressurizing the DICE internal pressure downstream of the
back pressure valve can be performed by closing the injection
ball valve (1) and the calibration column ball valve (2) and
opening the evacuation ball valve (3). See note for flooded
suction applications.
Upstream of the back pressure valve
The pressure upstream of the back pressure valve can be
released by slightly unscrewing the bleed valve (32). Only
partial unscrewing is required. Depressurizing can be visually
notice by looking at the pressure indicator while unscrewing
the bleed valve. The Bleed valve (32) does not need to be (and
should not be) fully unscrewed to depressor the internal
pressure uptrend.
Note:
The above procedure only allows depressurizing the
DICE
TM
internal cavities. Chemical pressure may still be present downstream of
the ball isolation valve (for example process pressure could be seen downstream
of the closed injection ball valve). This pressure must be released prior to
disconnecting the DICE
TM
from the tubing or rigid piping.
If the DICE is installed in a flooded suction application, the pump suction line
should be drained prior to depressurizing the DICE
TM
module.
No tool should be used to screw, unscrew or tighten the bleed valve. Hand
tight only.
Warning:
The above depressurizing procedure is informative and should in no way limit the
operator's responsibility to validate the absence of pressure before performing
maintenance on the DICE
TM
module.
Even in the absence of pressurized chemical the following minimum personal protective
equipment should be used near the dosing module: protective gloves, glasses and
clothing. Always refer to the MSDS for all safety instructions related to the fluids* used.
