Calculating Hose/Gun Capacity
1.
lntroduction
When you connect hoses and guns to your hot melt unit, you must make
sure
the electrical power requirements
of
those hoses and guns do not
exceed the maximum wattages allowed for your system. Exceeding the
allowed maximum wattage can damage your equipment or keep your
system from
functioning properly.
For every Series 3000Vsystem, there are three maximum wattages you
must not exceed:
The single-component maximum wattage:
the
wattage of any
single hose or gun connected to your unit must not exceed this
wattage.
The hose/gun pair maximum wattage:
the wattage of any hose
and gun
(hose/gun pair) connected to your unit must not exceed this
wattage.
The
total hose/gun maximum wattage:
the wattage of all hoses
and guns connected
to your unit must not exceed this wattage.
To
make sure your system does not exceed any
of
these maximum
wattages, someone (either you or your Nordson representative) must
calculate the hose/gun capacity for your system. lf your Nordson
representative has already made this calculation for the actual hoses and
guns you plan to use, you do not need to repeat the calculation
now.
However,
you must make this calculation
if
the hose/gun capacity has not been calculated for your system
if
you have reconfigured your system since the calculations were
made
a
a
whenever
you add new hoses or guns to an existing system
whenever
you replace an existing hose with a longer one or
an
existing gun with a larger one
