4. GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 4.1 Lifting the equipment ⊲ A forklift truck with long forks must be used when lifting filters in wooden crates. ⊲ Filters with a tank can be lifted using a crane or overhead crane by using the filter’s lifting lugs, or with a forklift truck.
Page 16
⊲ Filters without a tank can be lifted using a crane or overhead crane by using the filter’s lifting lugs. Figure 4.2 Shows how lifting devices are attached (filter without tank). Figure 4.3 Lifting Hydrotech Disc filter in the HSF2200 series type 2 (without tank). Operation &...
4.2 Installation site 4.2.1 Outdoor installation In the event of outdoor installation it is important to protect the filter panels against direct sun- light, as heat and UV radiation otherwise can cause damage to the filter panels. The equipment must be protected against temperatures below freezing point. At water tempe- ratures above +5 °C and air temperatures above -10 °C the filter cover provides sufficient protec- tion.
4.5 Checking drum rotation Start drum rotation and check that the drum rotates in the same direction as the rotation arrow on the drive unit cover. 4.6 Pipe connections Piping for reject should have a minimum inclination of 1%. Operation & maintenance manual, Discfilter HSF2200-1/2F PFC...
5. START UP AND OPERATION 5.1 Check procedures during start-up 1. Check that the drive unit cover is installed correctly. 2. Turn the pump switch to the OFF (0) position (see F in Figure 5.1). 3. Set the main power switch to the ON (1) position (see J in Figure 5.1). 4.
5.2 Automatic settings The control system for the HSF2200 series must be equipped with a frequency converter on the drive unit. This is factory calibrated if delivered from Hydrotech. The setting on the frequency converter must be set for a minimum of 5 seconds “ramp up” and a minimum of 3 seconds “ramp down”...

5.2.1 Level differences The maximum permitted difference between the water levels inside and outside the drum is 250 mm during normal operation (see Figure 5.3). The recommended level difference is 100- 200 mm. If an even flow after the filter is required, the filter must be run with a small level difference.
5.2.4 Adjusting the level sensor NB Prior to servicing, read section 2.7. Place the level sensor 50–100 mm below the overflow wall. The optimal placement depends on the turbulence of the water surface (see Figure 5.4) 5.2.5 Setting of level relay Figur 5.4 Justering av nivågivare.
6. FUNCTION 6.1 Intended use The filter is designed and manufactured to remove solid particles in unpressurised water flow systems. The filter is not a pressure vessel. 6.2 Non-intended use Unless approved in writing by Hydrotech, the filter must not be used to filter liquids other than water.
7. MAINTENANCE/SERVICE 7.1 Backwash system The most common cause of operating disruptions in the backwash system is clogged nozzles. Clogging is caused by particles in the wash water and/or by biological growth in the pipe system. There are also nozzles that are self-cleaning and less sensitive to blocking than the conventional nozzles, see section 7.1.2 7.1.1 Servicing conventional nozzles 1.
Page 26
7. Check whether any of the nozzles are clogged by checking whether water runs through them. Clogged nozzles are cleaned as follows: Figure 7.3 Nozzle components. A. Nozzle attachment B. Rubber seal C. Nozzle tip D. Nozzle nut E. O-ring 8.

7.2 Cleaning the Hydrotech wash water filter NB Prior to servicing, read section 2.7. If the pressure gauge indicates a pressure that is more than 0.5 bar below normal pressure, it is time to clean the wash water filter. 1. Turn the main power switch to the OFF (0) position and lock with a padlock. 2.
7.3 Bearings NB Prior to servicing, read section 2.7. Stickers indicating the lubrication points are attached to the filter, see Figure 7.6. Figure 7.6 7.3.1 Lubrication of swivel The swivel makes up the bearing between the wash pipe and the connecting pipe for the wash water (see Figure 7.7).
7.3.3 Checking drum bearing wear 1. Turn the main power switch to the OFF (0) position and lock with a padlock. 2. Drain filter basin/filter tank. 3. Check the drum bearings with respect to wear. If the distance between the bearing housing (A) and the shaft (B) is less than 22 mm (see Figure 7.8), the drum bearing must be replaced.
7.4 Filter panels NB Prior to servicing, read section 2.7. 7.4.1 High pressure cleaning (HPC) It may be necessary to clean the filter panels manually. If the automatic backwashing starts more frequently, this is a clear indication that manual cleaning is required. Manual cleaning can be performed using HPC.
7.4.2 Chemical cleaning of filter panels Long-term clogging of the filter media can be caused by iron, calcium, organic growth or other particulate matter. This clogging can normally be removed through chemical cleaning. Three pro- ducts that have been proven not to affect the life of the filter medium are diluted hydrochloric acid (HCl), diluted sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and diluted sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
7.4.3 Changing filter panels It is important to maintain the balance of the drum when changing the filter panels. Remo- ve/refit every other filter panel. This prevents unintentional rotation of the drum and redu- ces the load on the drive chain and gearbox. NEVER remove or refit all the filter pa- nels on just ONE side of the disc (see Fi- gure 7.11).

4. Insert a new filter panel and slide it in until it bottoms. NB Filter panels with steel frames must be po- sitioned with the filter cloth facing inwards (see Figure 7.14). Incorrect installation of the filter panels can cause damage to the filter segments. 5.
7.5 Drive chain NB Prior to a service, read section 2.7. The filter is equipped with a chain drive. See Appendix A and Appendix F for technical data. 7.5.1 Checking the drive chain 1. Turn the main power switch to OFF (0) and lock with a padlock. 2.
7.5.2 Adjusting drive chain tension Adjust the drive chain tension as follows: 1. Turn the main power switch to OFF (0) and lock with a padlock. 2. Loosen the four nuts (A) (see Figure 7.16). 3. Loosen the nut (B). 4.
7.5.3 Replacing the drive chain 1. Turn the main power switch to the OFF position and lock with a padlock. 2. Lower the drive unit to its lowest position, see section 7.5.2. 3. Split and remove the drive chain. 4. Fit the new drive chain. 5.
7.7.2 Replacing the inlet gasket 1. Turn the main power switch to OFF (0) and lock with a padlock. 2. Lower the water level in the filter until the whole inlet gasket is accessible. 3. Note how the inlet gasket is fitted before it is dismantled. 4.
8. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Check/action Maintenance interval Check whether the wash water filter is clogged. See The interval is based on experience of the applica- section 7.2. tion. (When the wash water pressure has dropped to 0.5 bar below the normal value). Check the filter panels for clogging and damage.
