GAS CHLORINATOR
SERIES CLM - 15M
The SUPERIOR® Series CLM-15 Modular Automatic Switchover Gas Chlorinator is a state-of-the art, totally vacuum-operated system designed to automatically switch chlorine feed from an empty cylinder to a full cylinder. The Series CLM-15 allows round-the-clock chlorination without being concerned about running out of chlorine when the system is unattended. Series CLM-15 chlorinators are of the vacuum-operated solution feed type designed to mount directly on chlorine cylinder valves. A vacuum operated switchover module is mounted on the wall and connected to both chlorine vacuum regulators which contain an integrally mounted flow meter to indicate the in-service cylinder. A separate chlorine gas flow meter panel adjusts the amount of chlorine being fed. 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-15M TYPICAL INSTALLATION
FEATURES
The SUPERIOR™ Series CLM-15 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.
2. All molded parts are fiber-glass reinforced ABS plastic, designed for SUPERIOR™ strength, warp-resistance and chlorine resistance.
3. The rate valve “Seat” is pure fluoroplastic and will not swell, stick or become brittle with age or exposure to liquid chlorine.
4. All external bolts and nuts are Titanium for complete corrosion resistance..a SUPERIOR™ exclusive.
5. Extra heavy-duty outlet threads on the ejector diffuser prevents breakage from over-tightening or “bumping” of the ejector assembly.
6. Easier to service and perform routine maintenance, with standard size wrench lugs provided on all screwed-together ejector parts.
7. All vacuum fitting holes are heavily reinforced to prevent the possibility of cracking from over-tightening fittings.
8. “Dual-pressure” check valve is standard on all SUPERIOR™ gas Chlorinators. Proven high back-pressure unitized check valve design protects against sudden surges up to 300 PSIG while a spring-loaded diaphragm check provides positive shutoff even when there is no back-pressure to force the seat closed.
9. SUPERIOR’s Switchover Module has been totally re-designed to prevent sticking, misalignment or wear on internal parts. Up to 20% fewer parts than other designs means greater reliability.
10. Automatic Reset - The SUPERIOR™ Modular Automatic Switchover Gas Chlorination system requires no manual reset of the switchover module once the empty source is replaced with a new source.
11. Fewer parts, combined with SUPERIOR™ materials and a SUPERIOR™ design gives you a SUPERIOR™ Gas Chlorinator.
CL-15M FLOW DIAGRAM
SYSTEM OPERATION
The vacuum regulators are securely clamped onto the chlorine cylinder valves. Vacuum tubing connects each regulator to the wall mounted automatic switchover module. A single piece of vacuum tubing connects the outlet of the module to the meter tube/rate valve panel. The ejector is connected to the meter panel with a single piece of vacuum tubing.
Water under pressure flows through the ejector at high velocity causing a strong vacuum to be created. This opens the check valves in the ejector assembly and transmits a vacuum signal through the meter tube/rate valve panel to the vacuum regulator. When the vacuum reaches a preset 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 automatic switchover module, 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 creating a differential across the diaphragm in the switchover module. This overcomes a spring loaded toggle assembly and the unit then switches over permitting chlorine gas to flow from the full source.
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.
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. Variable area flow metering tubes are available with dual English/ Metric scale maximum capacities of 0.8, 1.5, 4, 10, 25, 50 and 100 pounds per 24 hours of chlorine gas, as well as 15, 30, 75, 200, 500, 1000 and 2000 grams per hour, respectively. All metering tubes are interchangeable and may be changed in the field without special tools.
SPECIFICATIONS
The chlorinator shall be SUPERIOR™ MODEL CLM-15 manufactured by Chemical Injection Technologies, Inc., Ft. Pierce, Florida, and shall have a maximum capacity of _______ pounds per day (gr/hr)of chlorine feed and shall be equipped with a chlorine flow meter of _______ pounds per day (gr/hr).
The chlorinator shall be of modular design consisting of two (2) vacuum regulator/ flow meter assemblies, one (1) vacuum operated switchover module, one (1) flow meter/rate valve panel, and one (1) ejector/check valve. Each of these assemblies shall be capable of being individually located wherever safety and/or operator convenience dictates.
The vacuum regulators shall mount directly on the chlorine cylinder valves by means of a positive yoke type clamp having an integral tightening screw with slide bar handle. No wrenches or other tools shall be required to mount or dismount the vacuum regulator from the chlorine valve. The chlorine valve/chlorinator inlet adaptor shall be constructed of corrosion-proof fluoroplastic material which shall be inert to the effects of wet, dry or liquid chlorine. The inlet safety shut-off/ vacuum regulating valve shall be of capsulated design, easily removable as a unit from the outlet side of the yoke. A ceramic filter shall be installed in the vacuum regulator inlet and shall be capable of removing impurities greater than 25 microns. A pressure relief valve shall be incorporated into each vacuum regulator to prevent pressure from building up in the system. All external screws and nuts shall be made of Titanium to prevent corrosion.
The switchover module shall be vacuum operated and shall be factory pre-set, not requiring field adjustment. The module shall automatically change chlorine feed from an empty chlorine cylinder to a full cylinder, with no manual resetting required after switchover has ocurred and the empty cylinder replaced.
A flow meter shall be integrally mounted on each vacuum regulator to indicate which cylinder is feeding chlorine gas. A separate flow meter/rate valve panel shall be provided to adjust the chlorine gas feed rate and to insure that the feed rate remains the same regardless of which vacuum regulator is in service. The flow meter/rate valve panel shall be constructed of fiberglass reinforced thermoplastic material and shall incorporate a flow rate control valve made of fluoroplastic material which is inert to the corrosive effects of chlorine. The rate valve metering tip shall be constructed of metal which is completely impervious to the effects of wet, dry, or liquid chlorine attack. Design shall provide for full closing of the rate valve without engaging the control surfaces, to prevent damage. Minimum calibrated feed rate shall be 1/20th of maximum flow meter scale (20:1 turndown ratio). Accuracy shall be ±2% of maximum.
Vacuum shall be created by a fixed-throat venturi/ejector system connected directly to the chlorine solution diffuser. A dual high-pressure/low-pressure check valve system shall prevent water from entering the gas system. The ejector assembly shall be capable of withstanding water pressure up to 300 PSIG (20.7 Bars). A universal-type chlorine solution diffuser shall be provided which shall allow close-coupling of the ejector to a water main, use of flexible solution hose or rigid solution pipe without the use of special adaptors.
