PARKER HYPERSEP SFV029-209 (01) PDF Document

Keep the user manual with the PARKER HYPERSEP SFV029-209 throughout its entire service life and read it carefully before any installation or operation.

Key safety points include:

• Do not exceed the design limits given on the data plate.

• All compressed air/nitrogen circuits should include appropriate safety devices according to government and industry standards. The end user is responsible for installing these devices.

• Only use the water separator for separating water from compressed air/nitrogen.

The user, through their own analysis and testing, is solely responsible for:

• Making the final selection of the appropriate water separator.

• Assuring that all user’s performance, endurance, maintenance, safety, and warning requirements are met and that the application presents no health or safety hazards.

• Complying with all existing warning labels and/or providing all appropriate health and safety warnings on the equipment on which the water separator is used.

• Assuring compliance with all applicable government and industry standards and regulations.

• Assuring compliance with this manual.

Tampering, modification, or replacement of any parts by unauthorized personnel, and/or improper use exonerates the manufacturer from all responsibility and invalidates the warranty.

Before starting any maintenance operations on your PARKER HYPERSEP SFV029-209, you must make sure that the compressed air/nitrogen circuit is not under pressure.

To ensure the PARKER HYPERSEP SFV029-209 is not damaged, follow these transportation and handling guidelines:

• Do not store or transport the water separator in an unenclosed environment.

• Protect the water separator from impact to prevent damage.

• In the event of damage during transportation, handling, or installation, do not operate the water separator and replace it immediately.

As soon as you receive the PARKER HYPERSEP SFV029-209, check its condition. If you notice any damage, inform the carrier immediately. Do not install or operate the water separator and replace it immediately.

The PARKER HYPERSEP SFV029-209 is typically installed on the compressed air/nitrogen outlet of aftercoolers or any other point where condensate needs to be separated. Follow these installation steps:

• Do not install the water separator in an unenclosed environment. Install it in a ventilated area, away from heat sources and flammable materials, to ensure a proper ambient temperature.

• Support the water separator on suitable mountings to avoid stressing the inlet and outlet piping.

• No external loads are allowed on the inlet or outlet connection.

• Install one or more safety valves as necessary on the compressed air/nitrogen circuit to ensure that the maximum pressure of the water separator is never exceeded. The user must ensure that the installation of safety valves complies with all applicable government and industry standards and regulations.

• If the compressed air/nitrogen circuit is subject to vibrations or pulsations, use appropriate vibration and/or pulsation dampers to connect the water separator.

• Ensure that the compressed air/nitrogen does not contain corrosive gases. Take particular care in environments with high levels of Sulphur, Ammonia, Chlorine, and marine applications. Stainless steel models are available for use with corrosive agents.

• Take care to prevent accidental contact and burns when the unit is subject to temperatures exceeding 40°C.

• Install the water separator so that the compressed air/nitrogen flows in the direction indicated by the labels on the unit.

• Use appropriate industry standard counter flanges and gaskets to connect piping to the water separator.

• Install an appropriate condensate drain. Note that carbon steel materials are subject to rusting. Ensure that the condensate drain is capable of removing rust particles from the water separator with the condensate.

• Make sure that condensate drains can be visually checked for correct flow and are properly maintained for effective drainage.

• The water separator should not be subject to frequent pressure cycling exceeding 500 cycles from 0 to nominal pressure over its lifetime. Consider using a compressed air/nitrogen receiver to help avoid this.

For proper operation and maintenance of your PARKER HYPERSEP SFV029-209, follow these guidelines:

• Ensure that the water separator is properly sized for the compressed air/nitrogen flow, pressure, and temperature according to the product specifications.

• IMPORTANT: Verify that the condensate collected within the water separator is being completely drained.

• IMPORTANT: Verify corrosion of the water separator periodically (at least once per year) by measuring its thickness. The water separator’s thickness must not be less than the minimum values specified in the manual (‘A’ for the shell and ‘B’ for the end cap).

• IMPORTANT: If the water separator’s thickness falls below the minimum level specified in the manual, it must be immediately removed from service and replaced.

• IMPORTANT: Welding, grinding, or any other modification is strictly forbidden and will void the warranty.

Follow these steps to perform an ultrasonic thickness measurement on your PARKER HYPERSEP SFV029-209:

1. It is recommended to contact qualified personnel certified by a third-party organization recognized by a European Member State or equivalent according to the requirements of EN 14127: 2011.

2. An ultrasonic thickness tester suitable for use with painted surfaces should be used.

3. Compare all measured results to the minimum values indicated in Table 3. Measured results should be documented and saved.

4. Separators with wall thicknesses less than the minimum values given in Table 3 should immediately be removed from service and replaced.

5. Repeat the measurements at least every 12 months, measuring at the same positions on the water separator. Increase the frequency of thickness measurement if the measurements are nearing the minimum values indicated in Table 3.
