GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SUPERIOR™ Series CL-16 Automatic Switchover Gas Chlorinator
is a state-of-the-art, totally vacuum-operated system designed
to automatically switch chlorine feed from an empty cylinder to
a full cylinder. The Series CL-16 allows round-the-clock chlorination
without being concerned about running out of chlorine when the
system is unattended. Series CL-16 chlorinators are of the vacuum-operated
solution feed type designed to mount directly on chlorine cylinder
valves. Two vacuum regulators, each containing an integral and
independent latching mechanism, are mounted directly onto two
chlorine cylinder valves. A chlorine gas flow meter panel indicates
the amount chlorine being fed and may be located wherever it is
safest and most convenient. Chlorine flow rate is manually adjusted
and the design permits easy addition of a number of automatic
low rate control devices. A high efficiency, water operated ejector
produces the vacuum necessary to operate the system. The ejector
assembly contains a back-flow check valve system to prevent pressurized
water from entering the chlorinator. A spring-opposed diaphragm
vacuum regulator controls the chlorine gas flow rate and also
acts as the safety shut-off valve.
FEATURES
The SUPERIOR™ Series CL-16 represents the most
modern design technology coupled with the very best materials
available to create an outstanding, user friendly piece of equipment
It is designed with user safety as a primary concern.
1. A new ultra-thick, fluoroplastlc yoke coating gives superior
corrosion resistance won't crack, peel or chip. Chlorine will
not diffuse through lt to cause coating bubbling and peeling.
2 . All molded parts are fiber-glass reinforced ABS plastic, designed
for superior strength, warp- resistance and chlorine resistance.
3. The rate valve "Seat" is pure fluoroplastic and will
not swell stick or become brittle with age or exposure to liquid
chlorine. 4. All external bolts and nuts are Titanium for complete
corrosion resistance..a SUPERIORTM exclusive.
5. Extra heavy-duty outlet threads on the ejector diffuser prevents
accidental breakage e from over-tightening or "bumping"
of the ejector assembly.
6. Easier to service and perform routine maintenance, with standard
size wrench lugs provided on all screwed-together ejector parts.
7. All vacuum fitting holes are heavily reinforced to prevent
the possibility of cracking from over-tightening fittings.
8 "Dual-pressure" check valve is standard on all SUPERIOR
Gas Chlorinators. Proven high back-pressure unitized check valve
design protects against sudden surges up to 300 PSIG while a spring-loaded
diaphragm check provides positive shutoff even when there is no
back- pressure to force the seat closed.
9. Built-in switchover "detent' mechanism in each regulator
requires no field adjustment, and allows operator to easily designate
the standby and operating cylinders.
10. All SUPERIOR· gas chlorinators carry a 3-year limited warranty,
in addition to a Lifetime warranty on 4 vital parts: main diaphragm,
springs, inlet adaptor and body bolts.
11. Fewer parts, combined with SUPERIOR" materials and SUPERIOR"
design gives you a SUPERIOR" Gas Chlorinator.
FLOW METER CAPACITIES
SUPERIOR's" modular design concept allows the chlorine gas
indicating meter and flow rate control valve to be located wherever
it is most convenient for the operator, and also in the safest
location. Variable area flow metering tubes are available with
dual English/Metric scale maximum capacities of 0.8,1.5, 4,10,
25, 50 and 100 pounds per 24 hours of chlorine gas, as well as
15, 30, 75, 200, 500,1000 and 2000 grams per hour, respectively.
All metering tubes are interchangeable and may be changed in the
field without special tools.
MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION
One of SUPERIOR's major competitive advantages is the use of the
finest, strongest and most durable materials available. Extensive
use ot Fluoroplastics and fiberglass reinforced thermoplastics
allow SUPERIOR Sas Chlorinators to withstand attack by chlorine
in any form and to give the longer operational life Many parts
are guaranteed for the life of the equipment against chlorine
damage.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The automatic switchover vacuum regulators are securely clamped
onto the chlorine cylinder valves. Vacuum tubing connects each
regulator to the wall mounted pressure relief/vent valve which
also serves as an interconnecting point for the vacuum tubing.
A single piece of vacuum tubing connects the pressure relief valve
to the wall mounted remote meter tube/rate valve panel. The ejector
is connected to the remote meter panel with a single piece of
vacuum tubing.
Water under pressure flows through the ejector at high velocity
causing a strong vacuum to be created. This opens the check valves
in the ejector assembly and transmits a vacuum signal through
the remote meter tube/rate valve panel, back to the vacuum regulators.
When the vacuum reaches a pre-set level, the diaphragm in the
regulator moves, opening the chlorine inlet safety valve, and
permits gas to flow from the chlorine cylinder. The spring-opposed
diaphragm and inlet valve regulate the vacuum at this point.
Chlorine gas passes through the regulator, pressure relief valve
connector, remote flow meter panel and rate control valve to the
ejector. The gas mixes with the ejector water and is discharged
through the diffuser into the water being treated.
When the chlorine supply is depleted in one source, vacuum starts
to increase In the system. This causes the diaphragm in the "stand-by"
regulator to be pulled back, overcoming the detent mechanism and
opening the inlet/safety valve.
Chlorine gas is then withdrawn from the "stand-by" cylinder
to satisfy the increased system vacuum and the vacuum returns
to the operating level. The empty cylinder is replaced at the
operators convenience, and the regulator then placed on "stand-by".
