GAS CHLORINATOR
SERIES CL - 56
The SUPERIOR™ Series CL-26/56 Automatic Switchover Gas Chlorinator with CL-26 Maximum Capacity 250PPD (5kg/hr) and CL-56 Maximum Capacity 500PPD (10kg/hr), 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 CL-26/56 allows round-the-clock chlorination without being concerned about running out of chlorine when the system is unattended. Series CL- 26/56 chlorinators are of the vacuum-operated solution feed type, designed to mount directly on chlorine valves of cylinders, wall manifolds, or ton container adaptors. Two vacuum regulators, each containing an integral and independent latching mechanism, are mounted directly onto two chlorine 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 backflow 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 shutoff valve.
CL-56 TYPICAL INSTALLATION
FEATURES
The SUPERIOR™ Series CL-26/56 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 fiberglass 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 prevent breakage from overtightening 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 overtightening 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 valve provides positive shutoff even when there is no backpressure to force the seat closed.
9. Built in latching switchover mechanism in each regulator requires no field adjustment, and allows the operator to easily designate the standby and operating cylinders.
10. 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.
11. Fewer parts, combined with superior materials and a superior design gives you the industry’s superior gas chlorinator: SUPERIOR™.
CL-56 FLOW DIAGRAM
SYSTEM OPERATION
The automatic switchover vacuum regulators are securely clamped onto the chlorine valves of cylinders, wall manifolds, or ton container adaptors. Vacuum tubing connects each regulator to the wall mounted pressure relief/vent valve which also serves as an interconnecting point for the vacuum tubing. A single piece of vacuum tubing connects the pressure relief valve to the wall mounted remote meter tube/rate valve panel. The ejector is connected to the remote 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 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, pressure relief valve connector, 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 cylinder(s) or ton container(s) is(are) replaced at the operator’s convenience, and the regulator then placed on “stand- by”.
MODULAR DESIGN
SUPERIOR™ Gas Chlorinators have been designed to give the maximum flexibility in system installation. Each component of the chlorinator: the vacuum regulator, the metering tube panel, and the ejector, can be placed wherever it is safest and most convenient for operating personnel. The regulator may be mounted on the chlorine cylinder in a safe storage area while the remote meter tube panel is placed in an easily accessible place, since it operates completely under vacuum. The ejector can be located wherever plumbing and/or hydraulic conditions make it most desirable. Modular design also makes it easy and inexpensive to expand or upgrade the system.
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. A dual English/Metric scale variable area flow metering tube is provided with a maximum capacity of 250 pounds per 24 hours - 5 kg/hr (Model CL-26) or 500 pounds per 24 hours - 10 kg/hr (Model CL-56). All metering tubes are interchangeable and may be changed in the field without special tools.
