4. DETERMINE OPERATING DC CURRENT PRIOR TO STARTUP
The VNX50HH-2 modules are designed and tested to operate correctly at 8 amps. If the feed water
meets the influent quality requirements for the VNX50HH-2, the current will be set independent of the
Feed Water Conductivity (FCE).
Set the power supply to operate in constant amperage mode and set the
amperage at 8 Amps DC.
Note – This procedure is different from our typical startup amperage calculation that would be calculated
based on the Feed Water Conductivity Equivalent (FCE).
5. START-UP PROCEDURE
5.1. Test interlocks
•
Test flow switches and other interlocks, including the RO interlock if applicable
•
Test pressure relief if applicable
•
Set alarm points
5.2. Notes on Recovery, Silica and Hardness
VNX50HH-2
•
VNX recovery of 90% is limited to systems with feed water total hardness of less than 1 ppm
as CaCO
. For systems operating with CEDI feed water hardness from 1 – 2 ppm as CaCO
3
the maximum water recovery is limited to 80%. In addition there is a minimum reject flow of
2.6 gpm per VNX modules.
•
For normal recovery of 80-90%, feed water silica must be ≤ 1 ppm as SiO
