SUPERIOR™ Series CL-1 Gas Chlorinator

   GENERAL DESCRIPTION The SUPERIOR™ Series CL-1 Gas Chlorinator is a state-of-the-art, vacuum-operated, solution feed type which mounts directly on a chlorine cylinder valve. The chlorinator is mounted onto the chlorine cylinder valve using a very heavy-duty, positive yoke clamp connection. A chlorine gas flow meter panel indicates the amount of chlorine being fed and may be located wherever it is safest and most convenient. Chlorine flow rate is manually adjusted and the design permits easy addition of a number of automatic flow rate control devices. A high efficiency, water operated ejector produces the vacuum necessary to operate the system. The ejector assembly contains a back-flow check valve system to prevent pressurized water from entering the chlorinator. A spring-opposed diaphragm vacuum regulator controls the chlorine gas flow rate and also acts as the safety shut-off valve. FEATURES The SUPERIOR™ Series CL-1 represents the most modern design technology coupled with the very best materials available to create an outstanding, user friendly piece of equipment. It is designed with user safety as a primary concern. 1. A new ultra-thick, fluoroplastic yoke coating gives superior corrosion resistance, won't crack, peel or chip. Chlorine will not diffuse through it to cause coating bubbling and peeling. 2. All molded parts are fiber-glass reinforced ABS plastic, designed for superior strength, warp- resistance and chlorine resistance. 3. The rate valve "Seat" is pure fluoroplastic and will not swell, stick or become brittle with age or exposure to liquid chlorine. 4. All external bolts and nuts are Titanium for complete corrosion resistance..a

SUPERIOR™ Series CL-1 Gas Chlorinator

   SUPERIOR™ exclusive. There are no stainless steel or monel nuts and bolts to corrode and freeze up in the presence of moist chlorine gas. 5. Extra heavy-duty outlet threads on the ejector diffuser prevents accidental breakage from over-tightening or "bumping" of the ejector assembly. 6. The "Universal" ejector diffuser allows use of high pressure solution hose, direct ejector mounting in mains, or in-line piping with rigid solution pipe. 7. Easier to service and perform routine maintenance, with standard size wrench lugs provided on all screwed-together ejector parts. No more pipe wrenches to accidentally tear and scrape plastic surfaces. 8. All vacuum fitting holes are heavily reinforced to prevent the possibility of cracking from over-tightening fittings. 9. "Dual-pressure" check valve is standard on all SUPERIOR™ gas Chlorinators. Proven high back-pressure unitized check valve design protects against sudden surges up to 300 PSIG while a spring-loaded diaphragm check provides positive shutoff even when there is no back-pressure to force the seat closed. 10. PVDF vacuum tubing fittings are standard..another SUPERIOR™ exclusive. "User friendly" design makes it easy to attach tubing, and to tighten or loosen ferrule nuts without tools. 11. Fewer parts, combined with SUPERIOR™ materials and a SUPERIOR™ design gives you a SUPERIOR™ Gas Chlorinator. FLOW METER CAPACITIES SUPERIOR’s™ modular design concept allows the chlorine gas indicating meter and flow rate control valve to be located wherever it is most convenient for the operator, and also in the safest location. Variable area flow metering tubes are available with dual English/Metric scale maximum capacities of 0.8, 1.5, 4, 10, 25, 50 and 100 pounds per 24 hours of chlorine gas, as well as 15, 30, 75, 200, 500, 1000 and 2000 grams per hour, respectively. All metering tubes are interchangeable and may be changed in the field without special tools. MODULAR DESIGN SUPERIOR™ Gas Chlorinators have been designed to give the maximum flexibility in system installation. Each component of the chlorinator, vacuum regulator, metering tube panel, and ejector can be placed wherever it is safest and most convenient for operating personnel. The regulator may be mounted on the chlorine cylinder in a safe storage area while the remote meter tube panel is placed in an easily accessible place since it operates completely under vacuum. The ejector can be located wherever plumbing and/or hydraulic conditions make it most desirable. Modular design also makes it easy and inexpensive to expand or upgrade the system. MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION One of SUPERIOR™'S major competitive advantages is the use of the finest, strongest and most durable materials available. Extensive use of Fluoroplastics and fiberglass reinforced thermo-plastics allow SUPERIOR™ Gas Chlorinators to withstand attack by chlorine in any form and to give the longest operational life. Many parts are guaranteed for the life of the equipment against chlorine damage. SYSTEM OPERATION The vacuum regulator is securely clamped onto the chlorine cylinder valve. Water under pressure flows through the ejector at high velocity which causes a strong vacuum to be created. This opens the check valves in the ejector assembly and transmits a vacuum signal through the remote meter tube/rate valve panel and back to the vacuum regulator. When the vacuum reaches a pre-set level, the diaphragm in the regulator moves to open the chlorine inlet safety valve, permitting gas to flow from the chlorine cylinder. The spring-opposed diaphragm and inlet valve regulate the vacuum at this point. Chlorine gas passes through the remote flow meter panel and rate control valve to the ejector. The gas mixes with the ejector water and is discharged through the diffuser into the water being treated.
