  • Page 29 Once the desired tank pressure has been achieved, the system will automatically exit the “Shortcycle” mode and begin “Normal Operation”. The system will continue to produce Gas until the Standby pressure is reached, at which point the generator will enter the “Standby” mode. Once in “Standby”...
  • Page 30: Normal Operation

    Normal Operation i-Flow 7000 series gas generators are designed specifically to minimize operator involvement. As long as the system is installed as described in earlier sections and is serviced in accordance with the specified maintenance recommendations (see Service Requirements), then it should simply be a matter of turning the Generator on. Note: the generator will only produce nitrogen gas based on demand, so should typically be left in a powered state with live compressed air supply.
  • Page 31: Safe Isolation Process

    Safe Isolation Process With reference to the diagram in the Recommended Piping Layout section. To shut the system down, first close the Tank/Application isolation Valve (7) and the Generator outlet isolation Valve (5), this will isolate and preserve the gas within the Nitrogen receiver/storage/buffer tank.
