To do the flow control system tests:
1. Connect the pipeline supplies or slowly open the cylinder valves.
2. Turn all flow controls fully clockwise (minimum flow).
3. Set the system switch to the
position.
4. Set the flow controls to mid range. Check that the flowtube float moves smoothly and that
the electronic flowmeter displays normally.
5. Test the Link system with N2O flow increasing:
a.Turn the O2 and N2O flow controls fully clockwise (minimum flow).
b.Turn the N2O flow control only.
c.Increase the N2O flow gradually as shown in the table. Make sure that the O2 flow
must be greater than the minimum limits.
d.If the N2O flow is set crossing the limit, before continuing the test, turn the O2 flow
control clockwise till the N2O flow decreases to the preset value.
Step N2O flow (L/min) O2 flow (L/min)
1 0.6 ≥0.2
2 1.5 ≥0.5
3 3.0 ≥1.0
4 7.5 ≥2.5
6. Test the Link system with O2 flow decreasing:
a.Set the N2O flow to 9.0 L/min.
b.Set the O2 flow to more than 3 L/min.
c.Slowly turn the O2 flow control clockwise to set the N2O flow to the rates shown in
the table. Make sure that the O2 flow must be greater than the minimum limits.
d.If the O2 flow is set crossing the limit, before continuing the test, turn the N2O flow
control counterclockwise till the N2O flow increases to the preset value.
Step N2O flow (L/min) O2 flow (L/min)
1 7.5 ≥2.5
2 3.0 ≥1.0
3 1.5 ≥0.5
4 0.6 ≥0.2
7. Disconnect the O2 pipeline supply or close the O2 cylinder valve.
8. Set the system switch to the
position.
