WARNING

Safety Notices

Peak Scientiﬁc Instruments cannot anticipate every possible circumstance which may

represent a potential hazard. The warnings detailed within this manual refer to the most

likely potential hazards, but by deﬁnition cannot be all inclusive. If the user employs an

operating procedure, item of equipment or a method of working which is not speciﬁcal-

ly recommended by Peak Scientiﬁc, the user must ensure that the equipment will not

be damaged or become hazardous to persons or property.

Symbols

This manual uses the following symbols to highlight speciﬁc areas important to the safe

and proper use of the generator.

A WARNING notice denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating procedure,

process or similar, which if not correctly performed or adhered to, could cause

personal injury or in the worst case death. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING

notice until the indicated conditions are fully understood or met.

A CAUTION notice denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating procedure,

process or similar, which if not correctly performed or adhered to, could cause

damage to the generator or the application. Do not proceed beyond a CAUTION

notice until the indicated conditions are fully understood or met.

Caution, risk of electric shock. Ensure the generator has been safely isolated before

proceeding.

Safety Notice to Users

These instructions must be read thoroughly and understood before

installation and operation of your Peak Generator. Use of the generator

in a manner not speciﬁed by Peak Scientiﬁc MAY impair the SAFETY

provided by the equipment.

When handling, operating or carrying out any maintenance, personnel

must employ safe engineering practices and observe all relevant local

health and safety requirements and regulations. The attention of UK

users is drawn to the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and the

Institute of Electrical Engineers regulations.

If the equipment is used in a manner not speciﬁed by the manufacturer,

the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Safely Isolated Condition

Deﬁnition: The unit is in a Safely Isolated Condition when it is disconnected from its

application, fully de-pressurised and isolated from the electrical supply. Directions for

isolating the generator are shown below.

Failure to place the generator in a safely isolated condition when

instructed to do so may lead to personal injuryor injury to others and

even death.

Isolating the generator:

a) Switch o the unit.

b) Unplug the unit from the mains supply and remove the power cord from the rear

of the unit.

c) Open all gas outlet ports until gas ceases to escape.

d) Disconnect from the application.

WARNING

Page 6

Safe State After Repair

To guarantee the generator is in a safe state after a repair, please ensure the following

conditions are met;

• The electricity cable has been correctly refitted.

The mains cable should be plugged into the IEC power inlet located on the rear

panel of the generator. This unit is classiﬁed as SAFETY CLASS 1. THIS UNIT MUST

BE EARTHED.

• The system builds pressure correctly.

With the outlet ports closed, pressure will start to build in the internal storage tanks.

In normal operation, both compressors will cycle alternately. Please refer to the ﬂow

chart section of this manual for more detail.

Principle of Operation

On Demand Gas

When the application requires a gas ﬂow, the generator produces gas on demand.

The generator will continue to supply the gas demand, whilst the application is in a

'Standby' mode the generator will still produce a low ﬂow of gas. As soon as a demand

is detected from the application, the generator will again match the applications

requirements.

System Description

The generator consists of two compressors; the combined compressed air output

provides the requirements for both nitrogen and air demands; the compressed air is

stored in a reservoir prior to being divided to produce the nitrogen and air gases.

To produce nitrogen (CURTAIN) gas, a division of air is passed through the membrane

(see below for membrane process). The nitrogen is then stored in a dedicated reservoir

until needed. The air division is split once more between the desired outputs - ‘SOURCE’

and ‘EXHAUST’. Finally, all output product is passed through an RAC ﬁlter prior to

delivery to the application.

Once the designated upper reservoir setting has been achieved, the compressors will

switch OFF until the lower pressure setting is reached. At this point the compressors will

switch back ON and begin the cycle once again; this is referred to as the ‘Pressure Cycle’.

The generator output ﬂow is completely controlled by the demand of the customer’s

application; the generator will produce up-to the maximum stated and will not exceed

this.

The membranes utilize separation technology to create Nitrogen. The membrane consists

of a bundle of hollow ﬁbers, when compressed air is passed through the ﬁbers the

oxygen in the air permeates through the walls of the ﬁber giving a high purity Nitrogen

output. The air drier membrane works in a similar manner, where the moisture in the air

permeates through the wall of the ﬁbre to give a Dry Air output.
