2.7 System Configuration As utilities, nitrogen gas, cooling water, and power is required. Nitrogen gas system Nitrogen gas is supplied to the pump casing to reduce corrosion caused by corrosive gases and deposition of reaction products. It is also used as a shaft seal gas that prevents oil in the lubrication chamber from flowing into the pump casing, so please flow nitrogen gas regardless of the type of gas being inhaled during pump operation.
Figure 15 System connection diagram 1 (MS1200A-E) Electrical system The electrical system is divided into power line that drive the motor and control line. There is sensor inside that monitors the operating status constantly. These sensors detect abnormalities, and as abnormality to alert from the output of buzzer, LED, and remote connector. There are two ways to operate the pump: local operation using a dedicated controller (LOCAL) and remote operation using electrical signals from a remote connector (REMOTE).
