Performance

The FAM is able to dewater the fluids described in the "Suitable fluids" section to a water content of less than 1000 PPM.

Typical dewatering rates:

FAM - 10 ~ 0.8 l/h

FAM10/15 ~ 1.0 l/h

The dewatering speed is dependent on:

Dewatering rate

Water content

Fluid temperature

Detergent additives

Flow rate of the FAM

As an approximate guideline, the dimensioning of the FluidAqua Mobil can be defined in accordance with the tank volume.

Tank volume in liters Size

< 2,000 FAM - 10

2,000 – 7,000 FAM10/15

Note that free water, e.g. on the bottom of the tank, can have an influence on the entire water content in the system. Drain off free water before taking a sample.

For the determination of the water content, the sample should be extracted from the system to be cleaned at a test connection during operation if at all possible.

Function description

After the FAM has been switched on, the filter pump unit 1 starts to draw the fluid from the tank to be cleaned and transfers it with a flow rate of 15 l/min into the vacuum chamber 3. At the same time, the vacuum pump 7 creates a vacuum inside the vacuum chamber. The fluid to be cleaned trickles downward through special filling materials. These filling materials are responsible for forming a thin fluid film and reducing the speed of the trickle. At the same time, a stream of air flowing upward from below against this current assimilates the water from the fluid and conveys it to the outside by means of the vacuum pump. Once level 02 is reached on the level switch, emptying pump 5 is switched on in order to convey around 15 l/min to the outlet. The filling level falls until level 01 is reached, after which solenoid valve 6 switches on and the two pumps convey into the vacuum chamber. The filling level continues to rise until level 02 is reached, after which the solenoid valve shuts back off again, the filling level falls again, etc.

After actuating the stop switch, the filter-pump unit stops and the evacuation pump empties the vacuum chamber.

Switching the main switch to "OFF" renders all engines and valves voltage-free.

The vacuum pressure, and thus also the air flow rate, in the vacuum chamber is regulated with the throttle valve 8.

For the purpose of odor reduction, the suctioned airflow is fed to the vacuum pump via a condensate separator, which is filled with vacuum pump oil (VE101). The exhaust air from the vacuum pump is released back into the environment via an active carbon filter.

Possible applications

Bypass purification (dewatering, filtration and degassing).

The FAM is connected with suction and pressure lines to the tank and cleans the medium to be found there in continuous operation.

Transfer by pumping (dewatering, filtration and degassing)

The FAM is connected to a contaminated oil tank by means of a suction line and pumps the fluid into the clean oil tank.

However, better purification results are achieved with bypass purification. Therefore, the FAM should be operated after pumping in the bypass flow.

To avoid overfilling the purified oil tank, permanently monitor the oil level.

Contaminated oil

FAM Set-up and Connection

Setting up the FAM

The following points are to be observed when setting up the FAM:

Place the unit on a horizontal and level surface. Special mounting is not required.

The locking brakes on the wheels must be locked to avoid unintended movement of the unit (only on the mobile version).

Position the FAM in the immediate vicinity of the tank to be cleaned. Observe the maximum permitted suction pressure. See page 32.

Observe the ambient temperature on the type label of the FAM.

Sufficient room to operate and maintain the unit must be left around the main switch.

An area of at least 0.8 m must be kept free for maintenance purposes on both the left hand and right hand sides of the FAM.

Take care to ensure free access to the control panel and that the control cabinet can be opened completely.

Notes on Piping / Hosing

NOTICE

Non-permitted pressure at the inlet IN / outlet OUT

Failure malfunction

► Determine the pressure to be anticipated at the inlet / outlet with the prescribed values.

Note that the cross-section of the connected hoses/piping, must be at least as large as the cross-section of the inlet/outlet port sizes.

In order to keep the pressure loss as low as possible, use as few threaded connections as possible.

The pressure at the inlet/outlet depends on the height differential between the FAM fluid surface in the tank port (aspiration height P(height)) and the line losses (P(line)).

If the FAM is above the fluid surface in the tank, determine the pressure as follows: P = 1 bar - P(height) - P(line)

If the FAM is below the fluid surface in the tank, determine the pressure as follows: P = 1 bar + P(height) - P(line)

Page 31: FAM 10/15-P - HYDAC · Manual menu 1 ... FAM - 10 ... FAM 10/15-P Preface HYDAC FILTER SYSTEMS GMBH en

BEWA FAM10-15-P 3193324b en-us 2011-01-19.doc 2011-01-19

Determine the pressure loss P(height) as follows: P(height)[bar] = h/10. h stands here for the distance between the suction connection on the FAM and the fluid surface in the tank.

The pressure differential in a hydraulic line (P(line)) depends on the following:

Flow rate

Kinematics viscosity

Pipe dimensions

density of fluid

The pressure loss in straight pipes (P(line)) can be calculated as follows:

Δp ~ 6,8 * L / d4 * Q * V * D Δp = Pressure differential in [bar]

L = pipe length [m]

d = internal pipe diameter [mm]

Q = Flow rate [l/min]

V = kinematics viscosity [mm²/s]

D = Density [kg/dm³] Mineral oil based hydraulic fluid has a density of ~ 0.9 kg/dm³.

Skydrol® has a density (D) of 0.9 ... 1.1 kg / dm3.

Additional threaded connections and pipe bends increase the pressure differential and must be taken into account.

Keep the height difference between the pump and the oil level in the tank as low as possible.

Avoid constrictions in the connected hoses. They compromise output and increase the risk of cavitation.

Make sure that no tension or vibrations are carried over to the pump or filter housing when the pipes are connected. Use hoses or expansion joints if necessary.

BEWA FAM10-15-P 3193324b en-us 2011-01-19.doc 2011-01-19

Connecting the inlet (IN)

The suction pressure at the FAM inlet must be in the range of -0.4 bar.

Use a negative pressure-resistant, flexible hose or a pipe for the suction-side connection.

Note that the cross-section of the connected hoses/piping, must be at least as large as the cross-section of the inlet/outlet port sizes.

The shape of the tank connection should be set up in such a way that it will always be lower than the level of the oil.

NOTICE

Severe contamination

The unit will be damaged

► Do not prime directly at the bottom of the tank

► Do not prime in the sump

► Never prime without a built-in suction screen

The greatest contamination is found on the bottom of the tank. All impurities and other particles are deposited on the bottom of the tank.

Connect outlet (OUT)

Take care to ensure that the maximum pressure of 2 bar is not exceeded at the outlet.

NOTICE

OUT connection closed off

The unit will be destroyed

► Check to be sure that all of the locking fixtures at the outlet are in "open" position each time before start-up.

To prevent air from entering the medium, make sure that the pressure hose with lance is always below the oil level in operation.

Preparing the Vacuum Pump

As a basic rule, the rotary vane vacuum pump is not filled with oil at the time the FAM is delivered. A sufficient amount of vacuum pump oil for the initial filling is included in the scope of delivery.

NOTICE

Operation without vacuum pump oil

The rotary vane vacuum pump will be destroyed.

► The rotary vane vacuum pump requires oil as its operating medium.

► Check the oil level before start-up, topping up with vacuum pump oil VE101 if necessary.

The maximum filling amount for vacuum pump oil VE101 is 0.3 liters.

The water level is monitored automatically by the integrated float switch while the FAM is in operation. A message will appear on the control panel when the MIN MAX filling level has been reached.

Synthetic vacuum pump oil in accordance with DIN 51506, Group VDL, ISO VG100 must be used for topping up.

Electrical connection of the FAM

DANGER Electric shock

Danger of fatal injury

► Any work involving the electrical system may

only be done by a properly trained, certified electrician.

The voltage and frequency indicated on the rating plate must coincide with the voltage supply present.

If a plug is present on the FAM or if a plug is mounted, then the FAM is to be operated from a correspondingly fused socket.

The rotating field of the connection socket must be clockwise. If this is not the case, then the phases can be rotated in the 16A / 32 A connection plug with the aid of the phase changing switch in the plug. For the 63A version, the two phases must be switched on the terminal block S0 (e.g. L1 and L2).

A phase sequence relay checks the correct phase sequence after switch-on. In the event of an incorrect phase sequence, error message no. 29 is shown on the control panel.

4. Automatic mode is active:

FluidAqua operating

Automatic mode

Now regulate the vacuum pressure with the throttle valve on the right of the vacuum gauge, depending on the operating viscosity.

Operating viscosity Pressure setting (absolute pressure)

50 mm2/s hydraulic oil 300 mbar / 30 kPa

300 mm2/s lubrication oil 400 mbar / 40 kPa

50 mm2/s ester oil 400 mbar / 40 kPa

Some oils begin to foam intensively when they enter the vacuum chamber. This can especially be the case when the water content is very high, but also when the oil is old or high viscosity media are used. If too much foam is caused, it is drawn in by the vacuum pump.

In this case, for example, reduce the vacuum from 300mbar to 400mbar.

Unscrew the air filter (1) by hand.

Screw in the new air filter (1) by hand and tighten it only by hand.

Vacuum pump

Changing oil and oil filter

The first oil change must take place after 100 operating hours. Afterwards, the interval increases to ~ 3000 hours or twice per year.

The vacuum pump must be at operating state temperature when the oil is changed:

Put the FAM into operation for 10 minutes.

Switch off the FAM at the main switch.

Wait until the pressure in the vacuum column has reached atmospheric pressure (~ 1000 mbar absolute).

To perform these tasks, you will need the following tools and equipment:

Compressor oil VE101 (for part-no., see replacement parts list)

Maintenance set, comprising oil filter, air deoiling element, ventilation cover seal (for part-no., see replacement parts list).

Fork wrenches SW 27 / SW 32

To change the oil, proceed as follows:

1. Put a suitable container in place to catch the used oil.

2. Open the oil drain (c) and allow the used oil to drain into the container. Dispose of the used oil properly.

3. Close the screw plug when the flow of oil diminishes. Let the pump run again briefly for a few seconds,

4. Open the plug screw once again and drain off the remaining oil.

5. Screw in the screw plug and tighten it firmly.

6. Remove the oil filter and dispose of it properly.

7. Install the new oil filter.

8. Fill in new oil through the oil filling screw plug (a) until the MAX marking (d) has been reached.

Replacing the Air De-oiling Element

Oil mist or increased electricity consumption by the drive engine (response of the engine protection switch) are signs of a soiled air de-oiling element.

To replace the air de-oiling element, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the ventilation cover (i) from the oil separator (g).

2. Undo the screw in the middle of the filter spring, but do not remove this.

3. Press the filter spring down and rotate it out of the depression.

4. Remove the filter spring from the oil separator (g).

5. Pull the air de-oiling element out of the oil separator (g).

6. Make sure that the new air deoiling element is provided with a new O-ring.

7. Install the air de-oiling element in such a way that the opening is situated correctly in the holder in the oil separator (g).

8. Ensure that the tip of the screw in the middle of the filter spring protrudes ~ 2 – 5 thread turns out of the filter spring.

9. Install the filter spring in such a way that the ends are secured against slipping by lugs in the receptacles in the oil separator (g) and the tip of the screw engages in the depression of the air de-oiling element.

10. Tighten the screw in the filter spring until the head of the screw impacts against the spring steel sheet.

11. Make sure that the seal under the ventilation cover is clean and undamaged. Replace the seal if necessary.

12. Fasten the ventilation cover (i) with seal and hexagon-head screws to the oil separator (g).

The air de-oiling element becomes saturated with oil during operation. A slight lowering of the oil filling level after the air de-oiling element has been replaced is therefore quite normal.

Change the active carbon filter cartridge

The active carbon filter cartridge absorbs oil vapors, odors and flavoring agents from the exhaust air. The weight of the active carbon filter can be used to determine when the filter is saturated.

Check the weight of the active carbon filter as soon as you notice a deterioration in the quality of the exhaust air.

If the active carbon filter reaches a weight of 1225 g, replace the filter cartridge immediately.

To replace the active carbon filter cartridge, proceed as follows:

1. Turn the active carbon filter cartridge by hand in a counterclockwise direction and remove it from the port on the rotary vane vacuum pump.

2. Place the new active carbon filter cartridge onto the port of the rotary vane vacuum pump and turn it by hand in a clockwise direction.

3. Gently tighten the active carbon filter cartridge by hand.
