• Open the cylinder valves, open valves V5 & V6 and than valves V1 & V2 slowly, and the gas
supply will start through the outlet connection O1. The cylinder pressures can be read on the
gauges M5 & M6, the intermediate pressure on M1 & M2 and the distribution (outlet) pressure
on gauge M3 & M4.
• Decide by moving the lever L1, if right or left bank of cylinders should start to supply. Always
start supply from the bank that has the lowest pressure.
• Check if lever is in correct position. Correct position is extreme upper or bottom position.
Correct lever position can be checked only by operator. Micro switch indicates only bottom
or upper position of lever.
• Check all connections for leakage using a 0.5% teepol / water solution.
• While gas is fl owing the pressure in the operating side will fall. This will be indicated on the
inlet gauges M5 or M6.
Info: One micro switch T7 is fi tted to the back plate to electrically decide which side is moni-
tored for leaking reserve.
7.2.BANK CHANGE OVER
At a pre-determined pressure set of the manifold regulators of 11,5 bar, the reserve bank will
take over from the near empty bank of cylinders. You will have an alarm “Change of operating
side” at inlet pressure lower then 10,3 bar. It is indicated by pressure switches. (See Chapter
8 – Alarm conditions).
7.2.1. LEFT HAND LH SIDE EMPTY
• The inlet pressure gauge M5 on the left-hand side is indicating exhausted cylinders, so the
left-hand bank of cylinders needs to be replaced.
• Close shut-off valve V1 and the isolating valves on the empty cylinders or cylinder bundles.
• Open purge valve V7 to vent any excess gas within the high pressure hose.
• Close purge valve V7 and disconnect high pressure hose from cylinders or cylinder bundles.
• Re-place empty cylinders with full ones.
• Re-connect high pressure hose to cylinders or cylinder bundles. Use new gaskets, lubricated
with grease approved for high pressure oxygen up to 250bar (like lubricant).
• Open cylinder valves slowly and leak test joints with 0.5% teepol in water solution.
• Open shut-off valve V1 and read the full content of the new cylinders on the inlet gauge M5.
• Change the position of the lever L1, to give normal operation to right-hand side (lever is in
extreme bottom position), and change the position of valve handle V4 (shall point to the right).
The alarm condition “Change of operating side” will hereby be cancelled.
• The left hand side is now the reserve bank with full cylinders.
7.2.2.RIGHT HAND RH SIDE EMPTY
• The inlet pressure gauge M6 on the right-hand side is indicating exhausted cylinders, so the
right-hand bank of cylinders needs to be replaced.
• Close shut-off valve V2 and the isolating valves on the empty cylinders or cylinder bundles.
• Open purge valve V8 to vent any excess gas within the high pressure hose.
• Close purge valve V8 and disconnect high pressure hose from cylinders or cylinder bundles.
• Re-place empty cylinders with full ones.
• Re-connect high pressure hose to cylinders or cylinder bundles. Use new gaskets, lubricated
with grease approved for high pressure oxygen up to 250bar (like lubricant).
• Open cylinder valves slowly and leak test joints with 0.5% teepol in water solution.
• Open shut-off valve V2 and read the full content of the new cylinders on the inlet gauge M6.
• Change the position of the lever L1, to give normal operation to left-hand side (lever is extreme
upper position), and change the position of valve handle V4 (shall point to the left). The alarm
condition “Change of operating side” will hereby be cancelled.
• The right hand side is now the reserve bank with full cylinders.
7.3.SHUT DOWN
For short term (hours) shutdown close shut-off valves V1 & V2 and/or V5 & V6 and/or V9.
For long term (days) shutdown close shut-off valves V1 & V2 and/or V5 & V6 and the cylinder
isolating valves.
