GAS CHLORINATOR
SERIES CL-1016
The SUPERIOR™ Series CL-1016/2016 Automatic Switchover Gas Chlorinator is a state-of-the-art, vacuum-operated system designed to automatically switch chlorine feed from an empty chlorine source to a full source. The Series CL-1016/2016 allows round-the-clock chlorination without being concerned about running out of chlorine when the system is unattended. Series CL-1016/2016 chlorinators are of the vacuum-operated solution feed type designed to mount directly on the auxiliary valve of a wall manifold, for high chlorine gas feed rates up to 2000 pounds per 24 hours 40 / Kg/hr. Two vacuum regulators, each containing an integral and independent latching mechanism, are mounted directly onto two chlorine manifold auxiliary valves. A chlorine gas flow meter panel indicates the amount of chlorine being fed and may be located wherever it is safest and most convenient. Chlorine flow rate is manually adjusted and the design permits easy addition of a number of automatic flow rate control devices. A high efficiency, water operated ejector produces the vacuum necessary to operate the system. The ejector assembly contains a back-flow check valve system to prevent pressurized water from entering the chlorinator. A spring-opposed diaphragm vacuum regulator controls the chlorine gas flow rate and also acts as the safety shut-off valve.
CL-1016/2016 TYPICAL INSTALLATION
FEATURES
The SUPERIOR™ Series CL-1016/2016 represents the most modern design technology coupled with the very best materials available to create an outstanding, user friendly piece of equipment. It is designed with user safety as a primary concern.
1. A new ultra-thick, fluoroplastic yoke coating gives SUPERIOR™ corrosion resistance, won’t crack, peel or chip. chlorine will not diffuse through it to cause coating bubbling and peeling.
2. All molded parts are fiber-glass reinforced ABS plastic, designed for SUPERIOR™ strength, warp resistance and chlorine resistance.
3. All external bolts and nuts are Titanium for complete corrosion resistance..a SUPERIOR™ exclusive.
4. All vacuum fitting holes are heavily reinforced to prevent the possibility of cracking from over-tightening fittings.
5. The check valve design offers very low cracking pressure and virtually no pressure drop due to friction. Check valves are complete modules and can be close-coupled to the ejector or located anywhere in the vacuum piping system for maximum flexibility.
6. Built-in switchover “detent” mechanism in each regulator requires no field adjustment, and allows operator to easily designate the standby and operating cylinders.
7. “Capsule” type inlet safety valve design allows easy removal for inspection or cleaning, using no special tools.
8. All-vacuum operation, combined with modular design of the major operating components, allows pressurized chlorine gas to be isolated from the operating areas for greater safety.
9. All SUPERIOR™ gas chlorinators carry a 3-year limited warranty, in addition to a lifetime warranty on 4 vital parts: main diaphragm, springs, inlet adaptor and body bolts.
10. Fewer parts, combined with superior materials and a superior design gives you a SUPERIOR™ Chlorinator.

SYSTEM OPERATION
The automatic switchover vacuum regulators are securely clamped onto the auxiliary chlorine valves of wall manifolds. Vacuum piping connects each regulator to a junction point. A single piece of vacuum piping connects the junction to the wall mounted remote meter tube/rate valve panel. The ejector is connected to the remote meterpanel with a single piece of vacuum tubing. A wall mounted pressure relief/vent valve is connected by a piece of vacuum tubing to the junction point. Water under pressure flows through the ejector at high velocity causing a strong vacuum to be created. This opens the check valve in the ejector assembly and transmits a vacuum signal through the remote meter tube/rate valve panel, back to the vacuum regulators. When the vacuum reaches a pre-set level, the diaphragm in the regulator moves, opening the chlorine inlet safety valve, and permits gas to flow from the chlorine cylinder. The spring-opposed diaphragm and inlet valve regulate the vacuum at this point. Chlorine gas passes through the regulator, junction point, remote flow meter panel and rate control valve to the ejector. The gas mixes with the ejector water and is discharged through the diffuser into the water being treated. When the chlorine supply is depleted in one source, vacuum starts to increase in the system. This causes the diaphragm in the “stand-by” regulator to be pulled back, overcoming the detent mechanism and opening the inlet/safety valve. Chlorine gas is then withdrawn from the “stand-by” cylinder to satisfy the increased system vacuum and the vacuum returns to the operating level. The empty chlorine source(s) is replaced at the operator’s convenience, and the regulator then placed on “stand-by”.
FLOW METER CAPACITIES
SUPERIOR™’s modular design concept allows the chlorine gas indicating meter and flow rate control valve to be located wherever it is most convenient for the operator, and also in the safest location. A dual English/Metric scale variable area flow metering tube is provided with a maximum capacity of 1000 pounds per 24 hours - 20 Kg/hr (Model CL-1016) or 2000 pounds per 24 hours - 40 Kg/hr (Model CL-2016). All metering tubes are interchangeable and may be changed in the field without special tools.
MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION
One of SUPERIOR’s™ major competitive advantages is the use of the finest, strongest, and most durable materials available. Extensive use of Fluoroplastics and fiberglass reinforced thermoplastics allow SUPERIOR™ Gas Chlorinators to withstand attack by chlorine in any form and to give the longest operational life. Many parts are guaranteed for the life of the equipment against chlorine damage.
