General Vaccuperm VGS-140 high-performance disinfection systems • Pressure sensors for more safety: optional pressure sensors for injector vacuum and operating vacuum allow the early detection of disturbances such as insufficient injector vacuum or vacuum regulator faults. • Precise scan system for the flowmeter: the inductive sensor is insensitive to soiling and does not get into contact with the aggressive gas to be dosed. The resolution of the signal is about 2 % of the limit value of the measuring range. • Systems with direct proportional control: the servomotor of the rate valve can optionally be equipped with electronics (4-20 mA input) for direct proportional control without additional control electronics. 2 3c 3b • Automation of the dosing process: optionally a microprocessor-based controller can be integrated for PID control or for compound loop control. • Ergonomic and service-friendly design: all control elements and displays are installed at eye-level for easy handling. Easy change-over from automatic to manual operation. All assembly and service work can be executed with a few standard tools. Note: Vaccuperm VGS-140 are expert systems. All component configurations must be adapted to the requirements on site.

The important criteria are the motive water pressure and counterpressure as well as the dosing capacity. The indication of the customer data and the operating point are necessary for the decision. • Due to the special form of the nozzle, the operating costs are low and efficiency is improved. • Easy selection of the operating point thanks to the optimum graduation of the product range. • The construction according to the flow allows a reduction of the pressure losses of the non-return diaphragm valve. • A safety non-return diaphragm valve according to the floater principle protects the dosing unit disposed upstream optimally from the entry of water or chlorine solution. • Injectors for ammonia and sulphur dioxide are available on request.

LiquFilt 524 is an important part of high-capacity chlorine gas dosing systems. It protects the downstream dosing units from damage by liquid chlorine and prevents the obstruction of nozzles and valve seats. Essential parts of the unit are a rugged steel vessel filled with chlorine-proof mineral filter material, and an electric heater strip wrapped around its casing. The self-regulating strip conveys the heat to the steel and thus keeps the housing at a constant temperature, hot enough to evaporate the deposited liquid chlorine drops. LiquFilt 524 is installed directly in the chlorine gas line via its flange connections. The tube connection needs not to be detached for exchanging the filter. In order not to interrupt the chlorine gas supply when exchanging the filter, we recommend the installation of a bypass line with three shut-off valves.

The heat transfer medium is either water containing anticorrosive and antifreezer, or oil. The liquid gas to be vapourized flows under pressure into the lower part of the evaporator, passes preheating, evaporating and progressive heating zone and leaves it as a dry saturated gas flow at the top. In order to protect the downstream installations up to the pressure reducing valve from reliquefaction of the gas, the evaporator is designed generously, considering the gas outlet temperature. A bursting disk with connected expansion tank ensures that the highest admissible operating pressure is not exceeded. This tank is dimensioned in a way to transform the overpressure after the bursting of the bursting disk into the normal operating pressure. If the bursting disk bursts, this is indicated by a contact manometer. A contact manometer with two adjustable limit contacts indicates too high or too low gas pressure. • The compact and maintenance-free multitubular heat exchanger is designed for the evaporation of liquid chlorine yet also suitable for ammonia and sulphur dioxide. • Chlorine quantities of up to 200 kg/h can be evaporated at temperatures from 5 °C to 60 °C (water) or 68 °C to 72 °C (oil) • Protection from overheating and overpressure • High operational safety due to the use of proven materials resistant against the dosing media.
