Cold Jet Services - Cold Jet i3 MICROCLEAN Operator's Manual

BLAST AIR QUALITY
3. Water ice buildup will continue inside the blast hose, to the nozzle.
4. Water ice will break off inside the hose and lodge in the nozzle, causing a jam.
5. Water ice, may exit the nozzle, and damage the target surface.
For the above reasons, an after cooler and moisture trap/filter must be used.
If blasting continuously, use an air dryer to further reduce the air moisture (dew
point). Desiccant dryers produce a dew point of -40°F (-40°C), resulting in a dew
point low enough for continuous blasting.
To verify the compressor is of adequate size for the i³ MicroClean the air
compressor needs to produce an air volume 10% greater than the i³ MicroClean's
maximum permissible air volume.
To determine adequate air volume, blast while watching the pressure gauge.
• If the gauge drops slowly the compressor is insufficient.
• If the gauge drops quickly there is a restriction or the pipe is too small.
• If the gauge stays steady then the compressor is adequate.
To maintain adequate pressure, the hose size from the compressor to the i³
MicroClean needs to be .5 in (12 mm) in diameter.
