5.3.1 Pressure test with purge gas For pressure testing the Pressure control panel BM56-2, inert gas (non-reactive) gas is used (connect to HPI). Ensure that the required pressure is present and there is a valve present for shutting off the purge gas (PGI).
Page 19
Spectron Gas Control Systems GmbH Installation | 5 4. Close valve PGI. 5. Disassemble the leak test device and connect the exhaust gas line to valve HPV. 6. Relieve the pressure regulator. 7. Close all valves. The system should now be filled with inert gas (approx. 1 bar overpressure) up to the consumer.
Connect the pig tails. Proceed as described in the instructions for use for the respective pig tail. The compression fitting of Spectron pig tails is pre-installed at the factory. Insert the end of the pipe with the union nut into the thread fitting of the process gas valve as far as it will go.
Spectron Gas Control Systems GmbH Commissioning | 6 6.2.2 Flushing in the process gas to the process Flushing in the entire line network to the consumer must be implemented via a waste gas valve on the process. To do this, refer to the system documentation for the consumer. This procedure does not apply to fluorine or fluorine mixtures.
"Decommissioning and recommissioning [} 30]" chapter. Valve HPI is controlled via the operating firm's controller (optional for SP3, SP4 and BM/ BE). This is not included in the delivery scope of Spectron and is therefore not covered in this user manual.
Spectron Gas Control Systems GmbH Operation | 7 7.3 Exchanging the process gas source NOTICE Penetration of ambient air into the system Each time you change the cylinder, ambient air gets into the connecting parts of the system. To prevent the gas and the entire system from being contaminated, the connection must be purged before gas is drawn from the cylinder again.
