Branson Ultrasonics Ultrasonic Vapor Degreaser B3550R

Desiccant is used with solvents containing alcohol or other additives that are soluble in water.

Consult the solvent manufacturer to determine if your solvent requires desiccant.

Desiccant must be tested routinely and changed when necessary. It may be regenerated and reused; check with the desiccant manufacturer for regeneration instructions.

The rate of desiccant exhaustion is determined by the amount of water introduced by the parts, the ambient humidity and the temperature of the condensing and cold trap coils.

Note: For maximum solvent and equipment life, do not allow the desiccant to become fully loaded with water. Change the desiccant before the desiccant test shows positive. Use the following guidelines to determine testing frequency for your local conditions. The guidelines also detail how to obtain the maximum life from the desiccant.

• Each working shift, test the solvent leaving the water separator until you can establish a baseline. For example: After testing the desiccant twice per shift and changing the desiccant three times, you may determine that the SHORTEST desiccant life is four days and the LONGEST desiccant life is six days.

• Revise your testing schedule. Continuing the example above: Test on the third day and then daily until the desiccant needs to be changed.

• If you observe free water in the desiccant chamber, then change the desiccant regardless of the test results.

Draining Water From Water Separator

Open the water separator water drain

Collect the discharge into a container

Close the drain when the flow stops

Dispose of the residue in accordance with local regulations

Lubricate pump motors with machine oil every 6 months.

The vertical air cylinder may occasionally require a few drops of mineral oil to lubricate the seals. Add lubricant if the lift lowers from an intermediate held position.

An air lubricator may be used on the incoming air supply. Oil residues will be discharged from the solenoid valve exhaust ports. The mufflers may be replaced by hoses exhausting to an oil trap to prevent oil accumulations or oil mists within the degreaser enclosure.

The cylinder may be lubricated directly:

• Raise the lift to the fully up position

• Remove the top exhaust flow control valve

• Place one or two squirts from an oil can into the port

• Replace the flow control valve and air hose

Warning: Ensure to wear appropriate safety gear during the inspection.

Check for loosening of plumbing connections

Upload a photo of the plumbing connections

Check for dampness or cold spots caused by evaporative cooling

Upload a photo of the areas checked for dampness or cold spots

Did you add dyes to the solvent for leak detection?

Note: These dyes may be difficult to remove when the degreaser is later used for cleaning.

Enter the CPN of the electronic leak detector used

Pass the leak detector’s sensor around all plumbing joints and tank seams

Warning: Disconnect the degreaser from electrical power before starting the procedure.

Degreaser disconnected from electrical power?

To replace the control or relay board

All wires transferred to the new board?

Voltage Switch (SW1) placed in the 230V position?
