Flow Divider D.D-TWO
THIS PATENT PENDING SYSTEM ALLOWS YOU TO INJECT METHANOL AT 2 DIFFERENT POINTS AND PRESSURES WITH ONLY 1 PUMP.
OVERALL ADVANTAGES
- MOUNTS QUICKLY TO ANY EXISTING FLOW LINES AND OR WALLS
- MODESTLY SAVES $20.00 FUEL GAS PER DAY
- ELIMINATES 1 PUMP AND REDUCES CLUTTER IN SHACK
- OPERATOR FRIENDLY
- DECREASES MAINTENANCE COSTS: PLUNGERS MICRO-VALVES AND DIAPHRAGMS
- ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY (NOT VENTING GAS TO ATMOSPHERE)
- REDUCES PUMP PULSE THUS GIVING A CONSISTENT FLOW OF METHANOL TO DISCHARGE POINTS
- RESULTING IN UP TO A 1/3 REDUCTION IN METHANOL CONSUMPTION
COST SAVING ADVANTAGES
FLOW DIVIDER VS TEXSTEAM PUMP
MFG PKG. $785.00 $1200.00 to $1400.00
NOTE:
FLOW DIVIDER OPERATES BY PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN INLET FROM THE PUMP AND DISCHARGE PRESSSURE
- ALWAYS MAINTAIN AT LEAST 20% DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN INLET AND HIGHEST DISCHARGE PRESSURE
FLOW RATE ADJUSTMENT EXAMPLES:
- A) INCREASE ORANGE FLOW TO PORT NUMBER 2
TURN NUMBER 3 ADJUSTMENT SCREW IN CLOCKWISE THIS WILL ASLO INCREASE DIFFERENTIAL PSI. PRESSURE ON GAUGE #1 WILL INCREASE.
OR
TURN NUMBER 2 ADJUSTMENT SCREW COUNTER-CLOCKWISE - THIS WILL DECREASE DIFFERENTIAL PSI. PRESSURE ON GAUGE #1 WILL DECREASE.
- B) INCREASE PURPLE FLOW TO PORT NUMBER 3
TURN NUMBER 2 ADJUSTMENT SCREW IN CLOCKWISE THIS WILL ASLO INCREASE DIFFERENTIAL PSI. PRESSURE ON GAUGE #1 WILL INCREASE
OR
TURN NUMBER 3 ADJUSTMENT SCREW COUNTER CLOCKWISE - THIS WILL DECREASE DIFFERENTIAL PSI. PRESSURE ON GAUGE #1 WILL DECREASE.
TO CHECK FLOW RATE: BLOCK ONE DISCHARGE VALVE AT A TIME. CHECK YOUR BUILD UP PRESSURE ON THE CORRESPONDING GAUGE.
EXAMPLE: IF THE READING IS 500 PSI ON GAUGE #3 AND 1000 PSI ON GAUGE #2, THE RATIO WOULD BE 2 TO 1 OF METHANOL BEING SENT TO EACH PORT.
A HIGH PRESSURE FILTER MUST BE INSTALLED UP-STREAM OF THE FLOW DIVIDER
SUGGEST USING HIGH PRESSURE 90 MICRON
INITIAL SET UP PROCEDURES
- IF POSSIBLE MOUNT THE FLOW DIVIDER ON THE WALL OF PIPING DIRECTLY ABOVE THE PUMP AT EYE LEVEL FOR EASE OF OPERATIONS
- TUBE IN FLOW DIVIDER TO THE PUMP AND DISCHARGE POINTS. IF METHANOL SYSTEM IS NOT PROTECTED BY A FILTER INSTALL 90 MICRON FILTER BETWEEN PUMP AND FLOW DIVIDER TO PROTECT FLOW DIVDER AND DOWN STREAM CHECK VALVES FROM CONTAMINATES
- START UP PUMP TO PURGE ALL LINES AND FLOW DIVIDER VALVE BODY. TURN THROTTLE VALVES OUT (COUNTER CLOCKWISE) FOR PURGE
- PURGE ONE DISCHARGE AT A TIME BY BLOCKING ONE FLOW DIVIDER DISCHARGE NEEDLE VALVE AND LEAVING THE OTHER NEDDLE VALVE OPEN
- PURGE THIS OPEN SIDE UNTIL DIVIDER DISCHARGE GAUGE IS READING APPROPRIATE DISCHARGE PRESSURE
- NOW ONE SIDE IS PURGED. REPEAT PROCESS ON OPPOSITE SIDE
- OPEN BOTH NEEDLE VALVES WITH PUMP RUNNING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES TO COMPLETE PURGE
SETTING FLOW DIVIDER RATES
NOTE:
PUMP MUST BE PUMPING AT A MINIMUM OF 20% HIGHER THAN HIGHEST DISCHARGE. (EXAMPLE: IF ONE DISCHARGE IS 1000PSI AND THE OTHER IS 500PSI YOUR PUMP SHOULD BE A MINIMUM 1200PSI WHICH GIVES YOU A 20% DIFFERENTIAL)
RUN PUMP AT ABOUT 12 STROKES PER MINUTE OR AVERAGE RUN SPEED FOR YOUR INSTALLATION
- SET ONE THROTTLE VALVE AT A TIME (EXAMPLE: CLOSE ONE NEEDLE VALVE AND OPEN THE OTHER NEEDLE VALVE)
- TURN THROTTLE VALVE ON OPEN SIDE CLOCKWISE UNTIL PUMP GAUGE READS 1200 PSI NOTE: METHANOL IS A COMPRESSIBLE FLUID/TAKE TIME ON SETUP SO PUMP HAS REACTION TIME
- SETUP ON THIS SIDE IS COMPLETED REPEAT PROCESS FOR OPPOSITE SIDE
OPEN BOTH VALVES YOUR FLOW DIVIDER IS NOW SET AT 50/50
TO CHANGE FLOW RATES FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS ON LAMINATE PROVIDED AT TIME OF PURCHASE.
