  • Page 7: General Function

    General Function The CLEARPOINT® V activated carbon towers use a single pressure vessel, filled with an Adsorption material (1/8” activated carbon as standard) to remove oil aerosol and oil vapor from the compressed air system. As the compressed air flows across the activated carbon, oil aerosol and oil vapor adsorb onto the surface and pores thus removing it. During this process, there is no regeneration of the activated carbon. As a result, it will become saturated over time and must be replaced as it will no longer function to remove oil. To achieve maximum effectiveness of the activated carbon, pretreatment of the compressed air is required. Oil aerosols must not exist in high concentration above 0.01 mg/m and, the compressed air should be pre dried with a relative humidity not exceeding 30%. Other conditions that may affect the operating life of an activated carbon tower are: + Higher volume flow + Higher concentration of oil aerosols + Increased operating pressure + Increase relative humidity During operation, there is a possibility for activated carbon solid particles (as fine powder) to be released, that are particularly abrasive and can be extremely damaging to downstream components and users. For the above reasons, it is required that the compressed air system before and after the carbon tower, be equipped with the following: + 30% RH or better pre-dryer; achieved with either a refrigeration or desiccant dryer + 0.01 micron filtration grade coalescing pre-filter with differential pressure gauge and float drain (automatic drain optional) + 1.0 micron filtration grade particulate post-filter (differential gauge optional) and manual drain The purpose of the carbon tower is the separation of oil aerosol and oil vapor in compressed air. It is not intended to separate other contaminants that are present in compressed air. The compressed air output from this unit cannot be used for respiration purposes of any kind.

  • Page 9: Location And Installation

    Location and Installation Serious consideration should be given when selecting the installation site for the carbon tower, as an improper location could directly affect the proper operation of the carbon tower. This unit is not suitable to be used in explosive atmospheres, where risk of fire could exist, in the presence of gaseous or solid pollutants or in outdoor applications or areas exposed to the elements. Do not use water to extinguish fire on the unit or in the surrounding area. Machine level noise at the area of installation could be higher than 85 dBA. Install the unit in a dedicated area where people are not normally present. The installer and/or end user is responsible to install proper safety signs at the installation site. Technicians servicing the carbon tower in an area with excessive noise must wear hearing and eye protection. Each employee must select a proper personal protection device (PPD) hearing protector such as earmuffs, ear canal caps, or earplugs in order to prevent permanent hearing damage or loss. Minimum Installation Requirements: + Select a clean, dry room that is free of dust and protected from atmospheric disturbances. + The foundation must be smooth, horizontally level, able to bear the weight of the carbon tower and be vibration free + The location area must fall within the ambient conditions as listed in section 3 + Allow a clearance of at least 3ft on all sides of the carbon tower in order easily facilitate all maintenance needs + While recommended, the carbon tower is not required to be anchored to the supporting surface + An upstream dryer and filtration must be installed + The location of an air receiver tank will vary depending on compressor type and application Incorrect installation may void warranty. NOTE: All piping connections should be inspected prior to installation to ensure they have maintained their integrity during shipping and locating the unit. First, make the initial connections as follows: Coalescing Pre-filter Inlet piping including an isolation valve Outlet piping including an isolation valve Particulate post-filter CLEARPOINT V...
  • Page 10 Inlet air entering the carbon tower must be pretreated. Oil aerosols must not exist in high concentration above 0.01 mg/m and, the compressed air should be pre dried with a relative humidity not exceeding 30%. Not following this practice will lead to overloading the carbon tower, permanently reduce the capacity, and cause rapid deterioration of the activated carbon material. It is required that the compressed air system before and after the carbon tower, be equipped with the follow- ing: + 30% RH or better pre-dryer; achieved with either a refrigeration or desiccant dryer + 0.01 micron filtration grade coalescing pre-filter with differential pressure gauge and float drain (automatic drain optional) + 1.0 micron filtration grade particulate post-filter (differential gauge optional) and manual drain Activated carbon dust traveling downstream of the carbon tower may cause contamination and/or accelerat- ed wear to other components and equipment. Therefore, a particulate post-filter should be used to prevent carbon dust from traveling downstream. Activated carbon is considered a nuisance dust and proper precau- tions should be taken during handling (refer to applicable SDS sheet). IMPORTANT! Bypass piping is necessary. Only bubble tight valves should be used. Points of access should be provided upstream and downstream of the carbon tower for pressure and temperature monitoring prior to finalizing the installation. These access points can also serve as periodic monitoring of oil aerosol and oil vapor carryover, to determine whether the carbon tower is performing optimally. We recommend using METPOINT® instrumentation to ensure accurate measurements. All piping must be adequately supported and at least of equal size to the carbon tower connections. Before any attempt is made to operate the carbon tower, the operator must thoroughly read and understand this installation and operation manual. CLEARPOINT V Series Activated Carbon Tower ® (Rev. D)

    ACTIVATED CARBON TOWER OPERATION Start Up 5.1.1 Verification Prior to Start Up Verify that the operating parameters match with the acceptable ranges indicated on the data plate of the carbon tower (air pressure, air temperature, ambient temperature, etc.). This is not the same as the ASME UW plate on the vessels and may be lower than what is stamped on the ASME UW plate. Before delivery, each carbon tower completes a quality check for approval. Nevertheless, the unit could be damaged during transportation. Therefore, we suggest checking the integrity of the carbon tower upon arrival (see section 3) and observing the carbon tower during the first hours of operation. The start-up must be performed by qualified personnel only. It is mandatory that the qualified person in charge will verify safe operational conditions complying with the local safety and accident prevention requirements. The same qualified person will be responsible for the proper and safe operation of the carbon tower. Never operate the carbon tower if any component is missing or appears damaged. Service is to be performed by qualified personnel only. The end user is responsible to ensure that the carbon tower will never be operated with pressure that exceeds the maximum pressure rating of the unit. Operating the carbon tower at a pressure higher than the maximum rating could be The inlet air temperature and air flow rate entering the carbon tower must be within the limits indicated on the data plate. 5.1.2 Activated Carbon Fill Procedure The CLEARPOINT V activated carbon tower may be delivered without activated carbon filled in the vessel. ® This is done for the ease of transportation and the higher center of gravity resulting from the carbon tower after it is filled. Activated carbon filling should only be done by an experienced professional. Personal protection equipment (PPE) must be used when filling activated carbon into a carbon tower such as: dust mask, proper full cover eye protection, and protective clothing including gloves. 1. Make sure the carbon tower is properly placed in the installation location. The unit may be bolted down before filling.
