Hello! Could you please help me with the following question:
In the Manual for Separator S946 on page 438 there is a position 16 - Bowl disk - it states 96 pieces.
Then there are two following by it positions 16.1 (2 Pieces) and 16.5 (5 Pieces) - what is the meaning of these two positions?
Thank you in advance.

Page 76
1 Operating Health Risk Do not forget to disconnect the CIP equipment and re-connect the process connections.
1 Operating 1.11 Check if separator bowl is clogged Valid for Purifiers (not Alcap or Clarifiers) Purifiers have no automatic indication if the bowl is clogged or filled with too much solids. Recommendation is to check each Bunker analyze report and determine if there is any risk for a higher than normal sludge production.
1 Operating 1.13 Heater Control (optional) The temperature in the feed inlet is normally supervised via TT1, and can be controlled by a heater via TT2. Supervision and control are active even if one of the sensors is disabled. TT2 can be used by the customer; no alarm is given.
Page 79
1 Operating Example: P123 = 30, P126 = 40 results in a P-band of 0.40 x 30 = 12 as long as the temperature is below P125.
1 Operating 1.13.1 Control of the electric heater (optional) P119 = electric. The following parameters should not be displayed in the parameter list: P121, P122. Five outputs and one input are used to control the electric heater: • three relay outputs to up to three fixed power steps depending on the heater size (P120) •...
1 Operating It is important that the fixed power steps are working continuously when activated. Use an established method e.g. delay drop out. As a new output signal is calculated every second, the variable load output is activated for parts (0.1) of a second. 0.1 s activates 1/10 of the available power on the output = 1.6 kW.
1 Operating The signal to the steam valve is pulsed with an on-time corresponding to the temperature controller output. Example: output = +50% means the increment steam valve output is activated for 0.50 s/s. When the heater is stopped, the decrement steam valve signal is on for the time set in P121.
1 Operating 1.14 Cross connection/serial operation Valid for P-type separators It might be desirable to cross-connect two separator modules, or operate them in series. For that purpose the EPC60:s must be able to communicate via Ethernet. 1.14.1 Set up communication The EPC60:s may communicate over any customer defined network or be connected directly to each other...
1 Operating 1.14.3 Cross connection One separator module can use the feed pump and heater of the other one. • P145 is set to “cross master” in the system which separator is used. The heater/feed pump of this system is automatically disabled.
1 Operating 1.15 Programmable Inputs and Outputs An extra I/O kit is available as an option. This kit contains two boards, one with six programmable digital inputs and one with six progammable relay outputs. The customer can select an optional function for each of these inputs and outputs from a list of alternatives (see below).

1 Operating 1.17 Operation without all sensors (Emergency operation) If a sensor is malfunctioning it is possible to disable it temporarily until it can be fixed or replaced. 1.17.1 System Without Speed Sensor It is possible to run the system without speed sensor (P113 = no).
1 Operating Remote start is not allowed. This also applies if the cover switch is disabled (P116 = yes). 1.17.4 System With PT1 Disabled It is possible to run the system with PT1 disabled (P157 = 0). In this case alarms A40 – A42 and A44 are not supervised.
1 Operating 1.17.7 System With TT1/TT2 Disabled It is possible to disable one of the temperature sensors TT1 or TT2 with parameter P146. The readings normally taken from the disabled sensor is then replaced with the readings from the other sensor in all sequences. When a temperature transmitter is disabled the corresponding sensor error alarm, A22 or A31, is blocked.
1 Operating See also the Sequence diagram for other occasions when the sludge pump is activated, if selected (Parameter List chapter ‘2.2 Discharge’) . The separator sludge outlet can contain a manual butterfly valve which is used to close the outlet when the separator is standing still.
1 Operating 1.17.10 System Without Water Transducer (S-separator only) It is possible to run the system without water transducer (P117 = no). In this case alarms A80 - A85 and A74 are not supervised. There is no calibration of the water flow. In separation, automatic discharges are initiated every 15 minutes (overrides P220).

3 Basic principles of separation Introduction The purpose of separation can be: • to free a liquid of solid particles, • to separate two mutually insoluble liquids with different densities while removing any solids presents at the same time, • to separate and concentrate solid particles from a liquid.
3 Basic principles of separation Centrifugal separation In a rapidly rotating bowl, the force of gravity is replaced by centrifugal force, which can be thousands of times greater. Separation and sedimentation is continuous and happens very quickly. The centrifugal force in the separator bowl can achieve in a few seconds what takes many hours in a tank under influence of gravity.
4 Design and function G08707A1 Process section The feed inlet and outlets are situated at the top of the separator. The liquid is cleaned in the rotating separator bowl inside the frame hood. Sensors The separator is monitored by a speed sensor. An unbalance sensor and an interlocking switch are optional.
4 Design and function Overview The separator comprises a process section and a drive section powered by an electric motor. The separator frame comprises a lower body and a frame hood. The motor is attached to the frame. The frame feet dampen vibration. The bottom part of the separator contains a flat belt transmission, a centrifugal clutch and a vertical spindle.
4 Design and function Drive section The separator bowl is driven by an electric motor via a belt transmission. The belt pulley on the motor shaft includes a centrifugal clutch. The centrifugal clutch (2) with friction pads ensures a gentle start and smooth acceleration, and at the same time prevents overloading of the belt and motor.
4 Design and function Process section The separation process takes place inside the rotating separator bowl. The feed and outlet of process liquid takes place in the in and outlet unit on top of the separator frame hood. Inlet and outlet The inlet and outlet unit consists of the following parts: A connection house for pipe connections.
Page 237
4 Design and function Separator bowl The separator bowl, with its sludge discharge mechanism, is built-up as follows: The bowl body and bowl hood are held together by a lock ring (Centrilock). Inside the bowl are the distributor and the disc stack. The disc stack is kept compressed by the bowl hood.
4 Design and function Sensors and indicators The separator is equipped with a speed sensor. As options, an unbalance sensor and an interlocking kit can be fitted. Speed sensor (optional) A speed sensor (3) indicates the speed of the separator. The correct speed is needed to achieve the best separating results and for reasons of safety.
4 Design and function Separating function The separator separates water and solids from the uncleaned oil. Water normally leaves the separator through the water outlet. During sludge discharge, solids (sludge) and water are removed through the discharge ports. 4.5.1 The liquid balance in the bowl The liquid levels in the bowl depend on many factors (bowl geometry, liquid densities, flow...
4 Design and function 4.5.2 Liquid flow Unseparated oil is fed into the bowl through the inlet pipe and travels via the distributor towards the periphery of the bowl. When the oil reaches slots in the distributor, it rises through the channels formed by the disc stack, where it is evenly distributed.
4 Design and function 4.5.3 Discharge of sludge and water (ALCAP™ concept) As the sludge space fills up and water enters the disc stack, traces of water will escape with the cleaned oil. The increase of water content in the cleaned oil is the sign of reduced separation efficiency.
4 Design and function 4.5.4 Discharge of water through water outlet G08862b1 Discharge of water through water outlet A. Unseparated oil B. Separated oil C. Water 1. Water paring tube 2. Water paring chamber 3. Holes in distributor 4. Top disc 5.
5 Operating instructions These operating instructions describe routine procedures to follow before and during the start, running and stopping sequences of the separator. If system documentation is available, always follow the operating instructions therein. If there is no system documentation, the instructions below are to be followed.
5 Operating instructions • Remove the oil pin and make sure that the oil level is above the lower end of the pin, Oil change on page 160. Too much or too little oil can damage the separator bearings. The separator should be level and at standstill when oil is filled.
5 Operating instructions Normal operation 5.2.1 Before normal start To achieve the best separation results, the bowl should be in a clean condition. Check: that all couplings and connections (1) are securely tightened to prevent leakages. Leaking hot liquid can cause burns.
5 Operating instructions 5.2.2 Start Start of separator: a. Open the water supply valve. b. Start the separator by pushing the start button at the starter unit. After every start the separator must always be run continuously for a minimum of 5 hour to ensure proper lubrication.
Page 247
5 Operating instructions Ensure that the separator is at full speed. The time by full speed can be checked by studying the ammeter. Current increases during start (1). When full speed has been reached, the current decreases to a stable value (2).
5 Operating instructions 5.2.3 Operating Checkpoints during operation. Burning hazard Lubricating oil and various machine surfaces can be hot and cause burns. a. Check all connections for leakage. b. Check that the feed has correct flow and temperature. c. Check the back pressure. d.
Page 249
5 Operating instructions 5.2.3.1 Sludge discharge Turn off the oil feed. Perform a displacement of the oil by adding hot water (not more than bowl volume). Perform a sludge discharge. a. Add opening water until a discharge sound is heard (max. 3 seconds). b.
5 Operating instructions 5.2.4 Stop Stopping the separator. Turn off the oil feed. Perform a displacement of the oil by adding hot water (not more than bowl volume). Perform a sludge discharge. a. Add opening water until a discharge sound is heard (max. 3 seconds). b.
G0871381 Disintegration hazard After an emergency stop, the cause of the fault must be identified. If all parts have been checked and the cause not found, contact Alfa Laval for advice before restarting the separator.
