Chapter 1: System Description Function and Theory Congratulations on your purchase of Marschalk’s System 1 portable 12 volt D.C. oil-less compressed air system. The design of this unit has evolved over a ten-year period during which continuous field-testing and user input have provided important design criteria. The unit sets standards for quality, reliability, and portability in a compressed air package for groundwater monitoring.
System Components The following components and equipment are provided as part of the 94000 package: A continuous duty oil-less air compressor capable of operating at an output pressure of 90 psi, with an air delivery rate of 0.4 scfm @ 90 psi, 0.65 scfm @ 50 psi, and 1.25 scfm @ atmospheric pressure. ...
Chapter 2: System Installation 1. Turn the red-handled operating lever located on the side of the pressure switch to the “Off” position. 2. Connect the BLACK alligator clip on the end of the power cable to the NEGATIVE terminal of the battery. 3.
Chapter 3: System Operation During actual operating time, the compressor uses 22 amp/hrs of current. (160 amps required to start a momentarily stopped rotor) Therefore, it is recommended that a marine deep cycle or vehicle battery be used to operate the unit. The automatic operation of the unit from the pressure switch should minimize the actual power consumed during sampling of wells.
Low Flow Purging and Sampling The Model 94000 12 vdc compressor has been designed for Low Flow purging and sampling. The unit will operate most efficiently where long pump cycles are used. If your target flow rate is 200 mls/minute, use 2 x 30 second pump cycles per minute.
Before each use, inspect all wiring for chafing Periodically inspect the inlet air filter element and replace as necessary to ensure a clean air supply to the unit. Contact Geotech Environmental for any spare or repair parts which may be necessary.
