Normal usage

Start-up with new cartridgesDo not use the compressed air cleaning systemuntil the pressure differential across thecartridges has increased at least 1 inch W.G. incomparison to the starting pressure. Thecleaning sequence should be kept at a 45 to 60second delay between pulses. When the pressuredifferential increases to 2 inches W.G., thefrequency between pulses may be reduced inorder to maintain 2 inches W.G. differential.

The dust collector can work at design air volumeafter one day of operation.

Note: starting air volume will be greater thandesign air volume. Amperage draw will behigher than design.

Normal start-up (with used cartridges) Once the dust collector has reached normaloperating conditions, every day start-up is donewithout adjustment.

Pressure differentialThe normal operating pressure differentialshould vary from 2.5 to 4.5 inch W.G. for papercartridges, and from 3 to 5 inch W.G forpolyester cartridges (depending on collecteddust and air to cloth ratio). If the designedpressure differential cannot be maintained, thepulse frequency must be changed. The pulsefrequency can be increased or decreased by

Magnehelic gauge

The Magnehelic is a differential pressure gaugeused to measure the difference between theclean and dirty air. This allows a visualreference on the filters status and indicates whenit is time to replace.

This gauge is generally factory installed unlessunder specific request to A.Q.C.. If theMagnehelic gauge is not part of the collector,connect the (HIGH-PRESSURE) tube on the‘’dirty’’ side of the collector. Connect the other(LOW-PRESSURE) tube on the ‘’clean’’ side ofthe collector.

This gauge is not available when the collector issupplied with a DCT-1000 electronic board anda DCP pressure module since it is this one thatwill read the pressure differential.

Shut down

To shut down the system, follow these steps. Cutpower to the fan. Shut off compressed air to unitand sequencer. Close inlet and outlet dampers inorder not to have dirty air back into the collectorand avoid risks of explosion.

Spark producing activities

When the dust or particles to be collected arestocked within the collector or adjacentequipment, there should be no welding processor any other spark or flame producing activitiesaround the collector until the system has beenshut down and cleaned. If such operations haveto be performed, the filter elements have to beremoved from the collector and stored in a dryarea.

Maintenance

Warning!Refer to the Safety section prior to

proceeding with any maintenance orinspection on the dust collector.

A preventive maintenance program shoulddismiss most emergency shut downs and extendthe expected life time of the system. The chartscontained in this chapter explain themaintenance operations and procedures in caseof problems with the system.

The schedules and delays in between operationsmay be modified with conclusive experimentsor with a specific usage of the collector.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to callan A.Q.C. Inc. representative.

Cartridge replacement

The life expectancy is limited by it’s resistanceto the particles to be filtered and will requireperiodical replacements.

However, should a cartridge tear or fail,replacement should be performed as soon aspossible.

Before replacing the cartridges, shut the fanOFF, shut power OFF to the sequencer and allrelated components. Lock the breaker in theelectrical board. Compressed air feeding the thetank must be shut OFF and tan must be bled.

Maintenance staff should wear adequateprotective cothing and eye wear and breathingapparatus is suggested. Purge the unit of allgases. Ensure no air is moving within the unitand interior temperature is safe to performmaintenance procedures.
