SEPARATION UNIT 840 SERVICE MANUAL
1 SEPARATOR DESIGN
1 Separator Design
Process section The feed inlet and outlets are situated at the top of the separator. The liquid is cleaned in the rotating separator bowl inside the frame hood. Electric motor The rotating bowl is driven by the electric motor via a belt transmission.
Sensors The separator is monitored by a speed sensor. An unbalance sensor is optional. Drive section The rotating separator bowl is driven by a flat belt transmission.
Frame feet The separator rests on vibration damping frame feet.
Sludge outlet Separated solids are discharged at preset intervals.
1.1 Overview
The separator comprises a process section and a drive section powered by an electric motor. The separator frame comprises a lower body and a frame hood. The motor is attached to the frame. The frame feet dampen vibration. The bottom part of the separator contains a flat belt transmission, a centrifugal clutch and a vertical spindle. The lower body also contains an oil bath for lubrication of spindle bearings.

1 SEPARATOR DESIGN
The frame hood contains the processing parts of the separator; the inlets, outlets and piping. The process liquid is cleaned in the separator bowl. The bowl is fitted on the upper part of a vertical spindle and rotates at high speed inside the frame hood. The bowl also contains the discharge mechanism which empties the sludge during operation. A speed sensor and an unbalance sensor (option) are part of the equipment for monitoring the separator functions.
1810828-02
1 SEPARATOR DESIGN
1.2 The Drive Section

The separator bowl is driven by an electric motor via a belt transmission. The belt pulley on the motor shaft includes a centrifugal clutch.
Flat belt The flat belt transmission has a ratio which increases the bowl speed several times compared with the motor speed.
To reduce bearing wear and the transmission of bowl vibrations to the frame and foundation, the top bearing of the bowl spindle is mounted in a spring dampened bearing seat. The bearings on the spindle are lubricated by the oil spray produced by an oil pump mounted on the lower end of the spindle.
The centrifugal clutch ensures a gentle start and smooth acceleration, and at the same time prevents overloading of the belt and motor.

1.3 The Process Section

The separation process takes place inside the rotating separator bowl. The feed and outlet of process liquid takes place in the in and outlet unit on top of the separator frame hood.
Inlet and outlet
The inlet and outlet unit consists of the following parts: A connection house for pipe connections. A pipe with a paring disc and a paring tube is located inside the connection house. The pipe has channels for incoming and outgoing process liquid. The paring disc and paring tube pump the cleaned oil and water respectively out of the bowl. The paring tube can move radially. During separation it surfs on the liquid surface. It is balanced by a spring. Under certain operating conditions, the paring tube radial position can be locked in place by two adjustable screws on the connection house. The paring disc and tube are located inside and at the top of the separator bowl. The inlet and outlet device is held together against the frame hood by a nut on the end of the inlet pipe. Height adjusting rings determine the height position of the paring disc and paring tube relative to the bowl.

Separator bowl
The separator bowl, with its sludge discharge mechanism, is built-up as follows: The bowl body and bowl hood are held together by a lock ring (Centrilock). Inside the bowl are the distributor and the disc stack. The disc stack is kept compressed by the bowl hood. The discharge slide forms a separate bottom in the bowl body. The upper space between the bowl hood and the top disc forms the water paring chamber and contains the paring tube, which pumps the separated water out of the bowl. The oil paring chamber, with its paring disc, is located inside the top of the distributor. From here the cleaned oil is pumped out of the bowl. The sludge space is in the bowl periphery. The bowl is kept closed by the discharge slide, which seals against a seal ring in the bowl hood. At fixed intervals, decided by the operator, the discharge slide drops down to empty the bowl of sludge. The sludge discharge mechanism, which controls the movement of the discharge slide, is comprised of an operating slide and an operating water device. Passive parts are: nozzle and valve plugs. The operating water cover, beneath the bowl, supplies operating water to the discharge mechanism via the operating water ring.

1.5 Separating Function

The separator separates water and solids from the uncleaned oil. Water normally leaves the separator through the water outlet. During sludge discharge, solids (sludge) and water are removed through the discharge ports. 1.5.1 The liquid balance in the bowl
The liquid levels in the bowl depend on many factors (bowl geometry, liquid densities, flow rates etc.). To get a picture of how the liquids are distributed in the bowl, imagine that the bowl is at standstill and turned 90 (only influenced by gravity). The bowl can now be compared with a settling tank:

G0886431
1810828-02
1 SEPARATOR DESIGN
1.5.2 Liquid flow

Unseparated oil is fed into the bowl through the inlet pipe and travels via the distributor towards the periphery of the bowl. When the oil reaches slots in the distributor, it rises through the channels formed by the disc stack, where it is evenly distributed. The oil is continuously cleaned as it travels towards the centre of the bowl. When the cleaned oil leaves the disc stack, it flows through a number of holes in the distributor and enters the oil paring chamber. From here it is pumped by the oil paring disc, and leaves the bowl through the oil outlet. Separated water, sludge and solid particles, which are heavier than the oil, are forced towards the periphery of the bowl and collect in the sludge space. The space between the bowl hood and top disc, as well as the water paring chamber, is filled with oil, which is distributed over the entire circumference via the grooves in the top disc. During normal operation, the water drain valve in the water outlet is closed.
1.5.3 Discharge of sludge and water

As the sludge space fills up and water enters the disc stack, traces of water will escape with the cleaned oil. The increase of water content in the cleaned oil is the sign of reduced separation efficiency. This condition is monitored by the process control system, and water is removed from the bowl when minimal levels are recorded. The water is removed by either of two ways:
The water drain valve opens and the water leaves the bowl through the water outlet. Through the sludge ports at sludge discharge.
Which way is decided by the process control system.

1.5.4 ALCAPTM concept

When the sludge space is filled up and water enters the disc stack, traces of water will escape with the cleaned oil. The increase of water content in the cleaned oil is the sign of reduced separation efficiency. This condition is monitored by the process control system, and water is removed from the bowl when minimal levels are recorded.

2.3 Interface Description

2.3.1 Scope This document gives information, requirements, and recommendations about operational procedures and signal processing for safe and reliable operation of the separator. It is intended to be used for designing auxiliary equipment and control systems for the separator. 2.3.2 References
This Interface Description is one complementary document to the separator. Other such documents that contain necessary information and are referred to here are:
Interconnection Diagram Connection List Technical Data
Standards referred to are:
EN 418 Safety of machinery - Emergency stop equipment, functional aspects - Principles of design EN 1037 Safety of machinery - Prevention of unexpected start-up EN 954-1 Safety of machinery - Safety related parts of control systems - Part 1 General principles for design.

2.3.3 Definitions
For the purpose of this document, the following definitions apply:
Synchronous speed: The speed the machine will attain when it is driven by a three phase squirrel-cage induction motor and there is no slip in the motor and the drive system. Full speed: The synchronous speed minus normal slip.
2.3.4 Goal
To eliminate situations that can cause harm, i.e. injury, damage to health or property and unsatisfactory process result are e.g.:
Situation Effect
Unbalance caused by uneven sediment accumulation in the bowl. Too high bowl speed.
Too high stress on bowl and bearing system which might cause harm. Too high stress on bowl which might cause harm. Can cause injury to person who accidentally touches these parts. Unsatisfactory product quality. Product losses.
Access to moving parts.
Insufficient cleaning of separator. Bowl leakage.
Information and instructions given in this document aim at preventing these situations. Control and supervision can be more or less comprehensive depending on the type of used control equipment. When a simple control unit is used it would be impossible or too expensive to include many of the functions specified here while these functions could be included at nearly no extra cost when a more advanced control unit is used. For this reasons functions that are indispensable or needed for safety reasons to protect the machine and/or personnel are denoted with shall while other functions are denoted with should.
18
1810828-02
2.3.5 Description of separator modes

For control purposes the operation of the separator should be divided into different modes. The normally used modes are described below but other modes might exist. It is assumed that:
The separator is correctly assembled. All connections are made according to Connection List, Interconnection Diagram and Interface Description. The separator control system is activated.
If above conditions are not fulfilled the separator will be in SERVICE mode.
Stand still means:
The power to the separator motor is off The bowl is not rotating.
Starting means:
The power to the separator motor is on. The bowl is rotating and accelerating
Running means:
The power to the separator motor is on. The bowl is rotating at full speed. RUNNING is a collective denomination for a number of sub modes which e.g. can be: STAND BY: Separator is in a waiting mode and not producing. PRODUCTION: Separator is fed with product and producing. CLEANING: Separator is fed with cleaning liquids with the intention to clean the separator.
1810828-02
19
Stopping means:
The power to the separator motor is off. The bowl is rotating and decelerating. STOPPING is a collective denomination for a number of sub modes which e.g. can be: NORMAL STOP: A manually or automatically initiated stop. SAFETY STOP: An automatically initiated stop at too high vibrations. EMERGENCY STOP: A manually initiated stop at emergency situations. This stop will be in effect until it is manually reset.
2.3.6 Remote start

This machine may be started from a remote location under the following conditions;
First start after any kind of service or manual cleaning must be supervised locally in order to ensure that no mistakes has been made during assembly. The unbalance sensor is mandatory for remote start. The installation must include equipment to prevent unintentional start-up from remote location when the machine is disassembled. The installation must include equipment to prevent unintentional start of process flow from remote location when the machine is not properly connected to the piping.
2.3.7 Handling of connection interfaces
Electrical connections
701 Separator motor. The separator is equipped with a 3-phase DOL (direct on line) started motor. The separator can also be started by a Y/D starter, but then the time in Y-position must be maximized to 5 seconds.
20
1810828-02
There shall be an emergency stop circuit designed according to EN 418 and a power isolation device according to EN 1037. There shall be a start button close to the separator that shall be used for first start after assembly of the separator. There should be a counter to count number of running hours. There should be a current transformer to give an analogue signal to the control unit about the motor current.
740 Speed sensor A proximity sensor of inductive type according to DIN 19234 (Namur) standard is giving a number of pulses per revolution of the bowl (see Connection List). Signal processing in STARTING:
The separator should be stopped automatically according to NORMAL STOP procedure and an alarm should be given when the accumulated time for acceleration is longer than the maximum time specified in Technical Data. An abnormal start time indicates some malfunction of the separator equipment and should be investigated. If the speed exceeds Bowl speed, synchronous in Technical Data with more than 5% the separator shall be stopped automatically by NORMAL STOP and a high speed alarm shall be given. The speed monitoring system shall be checked continuously (e.g by checking that pulses are coming). In case of failure indication the separator shall be stopped automatically by NORMAL STOP with a timer controlled stop sequence and an alarm for speed monitoring system failure shall be given. The acceleration should be supervised to ensure that a certain speed (e.g 250r/min.) has been reached within a certain time (e.g 30 seconds).
1810828-02
21
Signal processing in RUNNING:
If the speed exceeds Bowl speed, synchronous in Technical Data with more than 5% for a period longer than 1 minute or momentarily during maximum 5 seconds more than 10% the separator shall be stopped automatically by NORMAL STOP and a high speed alarm shall be given. If the speed falls more than 10% below the synchronous speed for a period longer than 1 minute or 15% during more than 5 seconds a low speed alarm should be given. Low speed indicates some malfunction of the separator equipment and shall be investigated. The speed monitoring system shall be checked continuously (e.g. by checking that pulses are coming). In case of a failure indication an alarm for speed monitoring system failure shall be given. If there is a risk of too high speed the separator shall be stopped by NORMAL STOP. The speed drop during DISCHARGE. compared to the measured speed immediately before, should be between 3-8% which will indicate a proper discharge.
Signal processing in STOPPING:
STAND STILL shall be indicated when no pulses are detected within 30 seconds. Stopping the separator when alarm for speed monitoring system failure is active, shall cause a timer controlled stop. (See Stop time in Technical Data.)
752 Unbalance sensor (option). For indication of any abnormal unbalance and to be able to perform appropriate countermeasures, the separator has been equipped with a vibration velocity transducer on the separator frame. The signal from the transducer shall be monitored and two alarm levels according to the vibration alarm levels in Technical Data should be set.
22
1810828-02
The vibration level shall be high for 3 seconds to generate an alarm. The first level is only used to generate an alarm while the second level shall stop the machine. The vibration monitor shall include self check function to be performed at least at initiation of STARTING. If vibrations exceed the second alarm level the separator shall be stopped the quickest way possible and it shall not been restarted until the reasons for the unbalance have been found and measures to remove them have been taken. Signal processing in STARTING: If vibrations exceed the second alarm level the separator shall be stopped automatically by SAFETY STOP. If the self check system triggers, an alarm shall be given and an automatic stop by NORMAL STOP shall be initiated. Signal processing in RUNNING:
If vibrations exceed the first alarm level an alarm should be given. Vibrations of this magnitude will reduce the expected life time of the bearings and should therefore be eliminated. If vibrations exceed the second alarm level the separator shall be stopped automatically by SAFETY STOP. If the self check system triggers, an alarm shall be given.
Signal processing in STOPPING:
If the self check system triggers, an alarm shall be given.
Signal processing in NORMAL STOP:
If vibrations exceed the second level the system shall turn over automatically to SAFETY STOP.
1810828-02
23
760 Cover interlocking switch (option)
The separator is equipped with a interlocking switch to detect if the cover is mounted. Signal processing in STAND STILL:
The circuit is closed when the cover of the separator is mounted. The interlocking switch should be connected in such a way that starting of the motor is prevented when the separator cover is not mounted.
Signal processing in STARTING, RUNNING and CLEANING:
If the circuit is broken the separator should be stopped automatically by NORMAL STOP. This is to minimise the risk of having access to moving parts.
Fluid connections
Complementary information is given in the document Connection List. 201 Inlet Processing in STAND STILL:
Shall be closed.
Processing in STARTING:
Should be closed. Bowl will be open and empty or closed and filled depending on if start is done from STAND STILL or STOPPING.
Processing in RUNNING:
Could be closed or open.
Processing in CLEANING:
A sequence of cleaning liquids should be fed to the separator. The flow rate should be as high as possible and preferably not less than the production flow rate.
24
1810828-02
Processing in NORMAL STOP or EMERGENCY STOP:
Could be closed or open but the bowl should be filled unless the stop is initiated in STARTING.
Processing in SAFETY STOP:
Could be closed or open but the bowl shall be filled unless the stop is initiated in STARTING.
206 Inlet for conditioning and displacement liquid
According to process
220, 221 and 222 Outlets Processing in STAND STILL:
Could be closed or open.
Processing in other modes:
Shall be open.
375 Inlet for discharge and make-up liquid Processing in all modes:
It is recommendable to supervise the supply pressure. If pressure is too low (see Connection List), start should be interlocked and if it happens in PRODUCTION or CLEANING turn over to STAND BY should take place.
Signal processing in STARTING:
Below 85 % of synchronous bowl speed no water supply may be made. When coming from PRODUCTION a discharge shall be initiated to remove sediments from bowl to avoid problems due to solidification, see Connection List.
Signal processing in PRODUCTION:
Automatic discharges shall be initiated by timer or ALCAP system.
1810828-02
25
Signal processing in CLEANING:
Automatic discharges shall be initiated by timer or CIP-control system.
Signal processing in NORMAL STOP:
Discharges should not be made.
Signal processing in SAFETY STOP and EMERGENCY STOP:
Discharges should not be made.

3.1 Periodic Maintenance
Periodic (preventive) maintenance reduces the risk of unexpected stoppages and breakdowns. Follow the maintenance log in this chapter in order to facilitate the periodic maintenance. 3.1.1 Maintenance intervals
The following directions for periodic maintenance give a brief description of parts to be cleaned, checked and renewed at different maintenance intervals. The maintenance log for each maintenance interval on page 39 gives a detailed list of actions to be performed.
Inspection i i
An Inspection consists of an overhaul of the separator bowl, inlet/outlet and operating water device every 6 months or 4000 operating hours. Seals in bowl and gaskets in inlet/outlet device are renewed.
Overhaul o
An Overhaul consists of an overhaul of the complete separator (including separator bowl, inlet/outlet and operating device) every 18 months or 12000 operating hours. Seals, bearings, friction blocks and flat belt in the separator are renewed.
Oil change
The oil should be changed every 4000 hours, or at least once every year if the total number of operating hours is less than 4000 hours/year.
1810828-02
35
3.1.2 Maintenance procedures

At each Inspection and/or Overhaul, take a copy of the maintenance log and use it to make notes during the service. An inspection and overhaul should be carried out as follows:
Dismantle the parts as described in 3.3 Dismantling, page 41. Place the separator parts on clean, soft surfaces such as pallets.
Inspect and clean the dismantled separator parts according to the maintenance log and description in 3.4 Actions Before Assembly, page 74. Fit all the parts delivered in the service kit while assembling the separator as described in chapter 3.5 Assembly, page 84. When the separator is assembled, make final checks described in 3.6 Actions After Assembly, page 121.

3.4 Actions Before Assembly

3.4.1 Cleaning i o
Clean the separator parts according to the diagram below. Afterwards, protect all cleaned carbon steel parts against corrosion by oiling.
Part
Frame and motor
Procedure
The external cleaning of the frame and motor should be restricted to brushing, sponging or wiping while the motor is running or still is hot.
Cleaning agents
Water and de-greasing agent.
ING WARN
Electrical hazard
Never wash down a separator with a direct water stream. Never play a water jet on the motor. Totally enclosed motors can be damaged by direct hosing to the same extent as open motors, resulting in short-circuit and internal corrosion. Clean the inside of the frame with a clean cloth and remove visible particles.
74
1810828-02
Part
Bowl Inlet/ outlet
Procedure
Cleaning of bowl discs Handle the bowl discs carefully in order to avoid damage to the surfaces during cleaning 1 Remove the bowl discs from the distributor and place them individually in the cleaning agent. 2 Allow the discs to remain in the cleaning agent until the deposits have been dissolved. This will normally take between two and four hours. 3 Lastly, clean the discs with a soft brush.
Cleaning agents
A chemical cleaning agent must dissolve the deposits quickly without attacking the material of the separator parts. Fuel oil sludge mainly consists of complex organic substances such as asphaltenes. The most important property of a cleaning liquid for the removal of fuel oil sludge is the ability to dissolve these asphaltenes.
Cleaning of holder for operating slide, operating water ring and operating slide with nozzle. Use 10% acetic acid solution to dissolve lime deposits. The acid should be heated to 80 C. Clean the nozzle on the operating slide using a soft iron wire or a similar object. Driving device Use a sponge or a soft brush and clean the oil orifice, bearing holder and oil pump thoroughly. Use a sponge or a soft brush.
ON CAUTI
Cut hazard
Sharp edges on the separator discs may cause cuts. White spirit, cleaning-grade kerosene or diesel oil. White spirit, cleaning-grade kerosene or diesel oil. Solvent
Centrifugal clutch Belt pulley
Use a a steel brush.
1810828-02
75
3.4.2 Inspection for corrosion i o

Inspect the separator parts for corrosion. Evidence of corrosion attacks should be looked for and rectified each time the separator is dismantled.
ANGER ! D
Always contact your Alfa Laval representative if you suspect that the depth of the corrosion damage exceeds 0,2 mm for bowl body and bowl hood (0,5 for other parts) or if cracks have been found. Do not continue to use the separator until it has been inspected and given clearance for operation by Alfa Laval.
Max. 0,2 mm
Material
Type of corrosive environment

Water or dampness
Appearance
Measure
Non-stainless steel and cast iron parts Stainless steel
Rust
If damage exceeds 0,5 mm, contact Alfa Laval. Polish dark-coloured spots and other corrosion marks with a fine grain emery cloth. This may prevent further damage. If damage exceeds 0,5 mm (0,2 mm for bowl body and bowl hood) contact Alfa Laval. If damage exceeds 0,5 mm, contact Alfa Laval.
Chlorides or acidic solutions
Acidic solutions cause general corrosion. Chloride corrosion begins as small dark spots that can be difficult to detect, and goes on to local damage such as pitting, grooves or cracks.
Other metal parts
Aggressive environment
Possible corrosion damage can be in the form of pits and/or cracks.
R DANGE
Disintegration hazard
Pits and spots forming a line may indicate cracks beneath the surface. All forms of cracks are a potential danger and are totally unacceptable. Replace any part where corrosion can be suspected of affecting its strength or function.
76
1810828-02
G0205241
3.4.3 Inspection for cracks i
Check the separator parts for cracks. It is particularly important to inspect for cracks in rotating parts, and especially the pillars between the sludge ports in the bowl wall.
R DANGE
All forms of cracks are potentially dangerous as they reduce the strength and functional ability of components. Always replace a part if cracks are present.
Cracks can occur from cyclic material stresses and corrosion. Keeping the separator and its parts clean and free from deposits will help to prevent corrosion attacks.
R DANGE
Always contact your Alfa Laval representative if you suspect that the depth of the damage exceeds 0,2 mm for bowl body and bowl hood (0,5 for other parts). Do not continue to use the separator until it has been inspected and given clearance for operation by Alfa Laval.
1810828-02
77
3.4.4 Inspection for erosion i
Erosion may occur when particles suspended in the process liquid slide along or strike against a surface.
Surfaces particularly subjected to erosion are:
Erosion is characterised by: 1 Burnished traces in the material. 2 Dents and pits having a granular and shiny surface.
The sealing edge of the discharge slide. Paring disc and paring tube
Lock ring Bowl body and holder.
Holder and operating slide.
Pillars between the sludge ports in the bowl wall
Inspect the bowl and inlet/outlet parts for erosion damages.

NOTE
Always contact your Alfa Laval representative if you suspect that the depth of the damage exceeds 0,2 mm for bowl body and bowl hood (0,5 for other parts). Do not continue to use the separator until it has been inspected and cleared for operation by Alfa Laval.
78
1810828-02
G0911831
The underside of the distributor in the vicinity of the distribution holes and wings
The sealing edge of the discharge slide for the seal ring in the bowl hood
Replace parts if erosion is suspected.
R DANGE
Erosion damage weakens parts by reducing the thickness of the material. Pay special attention to the pillars between the sludge ports in the bowl wall. Replace parts if erosion is suspected of affecting strength or function.
1810828-02

3.7 Oil Change

The separator should be level and at standstill when oil is filled or the oil level is checked. 3.7.1 Lubricating oil
Do not mix different oil brands. Always use clean vessels when handling lubricating oil. Great attention must be paid not to contaminate the lubricating oil. Of particular importance is to avoid mixing of different types of oil. Even a few drops of motor oil mixed into a synthetic oil may result in severe foaming. Any presence of black deposits in a mineral type oil is an indication that the oil base has deteriorated seriously or that some of the oil additives have precipitated. Always investigate why black deposits occurs. If changing from one oil brand to another it is recommended to do this in connection with an overhaul of the separator. Clean the gear housing and the spindle parts thoroughly and remove all deposits before filling the new oil.
NOTE
Always clean and dry parts (also tools) before lubricants are applied.
ON CAUTI
Check the oil level before start. Top up when necessary. Oil volume = see Technical Data.
It is of utmost importance to use the lubricants recommended in our documentation. This does not exclude, however, the use of other brands, provided they have equivalently high quality properties as the brands recommended. The use of oilbrands and other lubricants than recommended, is done on the exclusive responsibility of the user or oil supplier.

7.2 Dismantling and Cleaning

The electric heater requires regular opening for cleaning. The heater block resistance, and the insulation resistance of the heating elements should be checked and an inspection of the general condition carried out. Any malfunctions of the heater are indicated in the control unit. For further information see the Alarms and Fault Finding booklet. As a general guideline, the heater should be opened up for cleaning whenever an excessive pressure drop occurs, or if capacity falls and oil temperature is low. Where heavy fuel is used, dismantle the heater when warm as described below:
1 2 3 4 5 6
Lift off the junction box cover. Loosen the cable nipples. Mark the signal wires, disconnect them and pull out the cables. Remove the flange bolts. Remove the earth connections between the flanges and the junction box. Lift off the heater insert. If cold heavy fuel has stiffened the heater insert, a couple of screwdrivers may be used to ease off the insert. Avoid using a sling. Clean the insert in a bath using Alfa-Laval cleaning liquid part no. 1762852-01 for lube oil heater; part no. 1763500-02 alternatively diesel oil, white spirit, or equivalent for fuel oil heater. Blow all parts dry with compressed air. Assemble the heater in reverse order. Measure the heater block resistance and the insulation resistance to ground before reconnecting the wires.

143
7.2.2 Insulation Resistance Megger Test

The heating elements are electrically insulated by means of compact magnesium oxide. Under certain conditions, e.g. during storage, transport, etc., magnesium oxide can attract damp which lowers the insulation resistance. The insulation resistance between terminal and ground for each heater block must therefore be measured before the heater is taken into use. This is done by means of a megger test.
Megger Test Procedure
Disconnect the wires from the terminal in the heater junction box before starting measurement. Test the insulation resistance for the heater blocks by means of a megger connected between the heater terminals and ground in the heater junction box. The test voltage to use is 500 V DC.
The total insulation resistance for the heater should be 1 M.
144
1810828-02
G003322A
Action to Increase Insulation Resistance
If the insulation resistance is between 100 k and 1 M, the heater can be reconditioned in place simply by taking it into use. Please note that during the first period of operation the insulation resistance can be somewhat reduced before it starts to increase. This is due to the accumulation of moisture in the element top during heating. In the event the insulation resistance is below 100 k in any group of elements, the elements in the group must be measured separately. The insulation resistance in a single element is measured between the connecting pin on the element, with the closing links disconnected, and the ground. A single element with resistance below 100 k can be reconditioned in place by indirect warming. Do not connect the connecting pins via the closing link to the terminal. Connect the remaining elements in the block to the terminal and allow the heater to be taken into operation.
New Megger Test
If the insulation resistance at start-up was under 1 M, a new megger test should be carried out after 14 days operation. The elements should now have a resistance of over 1 M. If this is not the case, any element still below 1 M should be replaced.
1810828-02

8.2 Working principle

Power for the electric heater is supplied from an external power source via the main switch and the different contactors. The contactor K11 supplies power to a variable heater load of 0-7/8 kW or 0-14/16 kW, which is controlled from the triac modules A1 and A2. This contactor is activated at all times once the heater is started and as long as the control unit signals no function fault. The remaining contactors (K12 and K16-K17, if applicable) supply power to fixed heater loads as on/off functions in accordance with the size of the heater. By combining the variable load and the fixed loads, an overall stepless heater is achieved.
8.3 Electric Heater Function

By using the proportional and integral (PI) functions in the EPC, it is possible to activate the power unit load functions to feed the electric heater with variable and fixed power. The power unit is equipped with the necessary contactors, fuses and terminals. The power unit also holds two triac modules (A1 and A2) for regulating the variable load. The electric heater requires an extra temperature sensor (on the heater) connected to a temperature switch (in the power unit) to prevent overheating.

8.4 Heating Performance Principle

The oil temperature is regulated from the control unit which gives the appropriate signals to the power unit. The power unit feeds the electric heater with both variable and fixed power. The fixed power is fed in steps as a constant part load. The variable load operates on top of the fixed part load for fine tuning of temperature. Sequential switching of the fixed part load and regulation of the variable part load are automatically controlled by the control unit, and results in an overall smooth operation.

8.5 Load Control and Functions

8.5.1 Variable Part Load
Power for the variable part load (#1) is fed via contactor K11 in the power unit and regulated by means of the two triac modules A1 and A2. Contactor K11 is activated provided that there is a closed circuit through the safety switch (TS) and that there are no function faults in the control unit (see electrical diagram in System Reference/Installation Instructions). The triac modules are controlled from the control unit. The required electric power is then supplied to the heater in accordance with the present load. Contactor K11 is furnished with a variable overload protection relay (F11).
8.5.2 Fixed Part Load

Power to the fixed part loads (#2 #4) is fed via contactors K12, K16, and K17, and controlled from the control unit as on/off functions in accordance with the present load. The contactors are switched off by the heater safety switch function (TS, K14) in the case of excessive temperature or low oil flow (pump interlocking).
152
1810828-02
8.5.3 External Safety Stop

The contactor circuits for switching power on/off to the different part loads are interlocked by means of the external safety stop switch (which is connected in series to the internal temperature switch TS), to prevent the electric heater from overheating. The contactors K11, K12, K16, and K17 in the power unit are connected in series to the internal temperature switch TS. Excessive temperature or no oil flow (pump stopped) will deactivate the contactors, thus switching off the heater. Overload relays/fuses F11, F12, F16, and F17 in the power unit are used for overload protection.
8.5.4 Start and Reset Functions

During normal operation, the contactors in the power unit are activated from the Control Unit and interlocked by the pump starter and contactor K14. Contactor K14 is interlocked by the temperature switch.
If the temperature switch has been released, the heater must be restarted using the Alarm Reset on the Control Unit after the cause has been remedied.
