PARKER HYPERSEP SFV029A-209A (01) PDF Document

When operating the PARKER HYPERSEP SFV029A-209A, it is important to follow these safety instructions:

• 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.

• Before starting any maintenance, ensure the compressed air/nitrogen circuit is not under pressure.

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

• Tampering, modification, or replacement of any parts by unauthorized personnel or improper use will invalidate the warranty.

• The user is solely responsible for the final selection of the appropriate water separator, ensuring all performance, maintenance, and safety requirements are met, and complying with all applicable standards and regulations.

• Ensure a proper condensate drain is selected and maintained for consistent and complete drainage.

For safe transportation and handling of your PARKER HYPERSEP SFV029A-209A:

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

• Protect the water separator from impact to prevent damage.

• If any damage occurs during transportation, handling, or installation, do not operate the water separator and replace it immediately.

Upon receiving the water separator, check its condition immediately. If you notice any damage, inform the carrier, do not install or operate it, and replace it.

The PARKER HYPERSEP SFV029A-209A is typically installed on the compressed air/nitrogen outlet of aftercoolers or at any point where condensate needs separation. 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.

• 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.

• If the compressed air/nitrogen circuit is subject to vibrations or pulsations, use appropriate dampers.

• Ensure the compressed air/nitrogen does not contain corrosive gases. Take particular care in environments with high levels of Sulphur, Ammonia, Chlorine, and in marine applications.

• 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.

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

• Install an appropriate condensate drain. Ensure the drain is capable of removing rust particles from the water separator along with the condensate.

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

• Ensure the water separator is properly sized for the compressed air/nitrogen flow, pressure, and temperature.

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

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

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

• Welding, grinding, or any other modification is strictly forbidden and invalidates the warranty.

• 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 avoid this.

It is recommended to use qualified personnel for ultrasonic thickness measurement. Follow these guidelines:

• Use an ultrasonic thickness tester suitable for painted surfaces.

• Compare all measured results to the minimum values indicated in Table 3. Document and save these results.

• Separators with wall thicknesses less than the minimum values must be immediately removed from service and replaced.

• Repeat the measurements at least every 12 months at the same positions on the water separator. Increase the measurement frequency if the thicknesses are nearing the minimum values.

* A = Stainless Steel; N = Carbon Steel

* P = High pressure 40 barg

*A = Stainless Steel; N = Carbon Steel

The minimum thickness values are crucial for maintenance and safety checks.
