Operating Nitrox Systems5 System Specifications Membrane temperature: 110 degrees F or 43 degrees C Operating pressure: p.s.i., 6-12 bar Max input pressure: 300 p.s.i. or 21 bar Air supply quality: LP Grade D, HP Grade E Nitrox Range: 24% - 40% Membrane temperature: 110 degrees F or 43 degrees C Operating pressure: p.s.i., 6-12 bar Max input pressure: 300 p.s.i. or 21 bar Air supply quality: LP Grade D, HP Grade E Nitrox Range: 24% - 40%

Operating Nitrox Systems6 The membrane is incorporated in these systems For dive operators who own HP compressors For dive operators who want a complete nitrox solution

Operating Nitrox Systems7 Rotary Screw System Operation System is for dive operators who already own HP compressor

Operating Nitrox Systems11 Easy operation Always read the manual first! Steps vary depending on installation Check oil level & filters first Turn on drier Always read the manual first! Steps vary depending on installation Check oil level & filters first Turn on drier

Operating Nitrox Systems12 Calibrate the fill O2 analyzer

Operating Nitrox Systems13 Follow the steps in the manual Turn on HP compressor Adjust fill whip allowing air to escape Calibrate permeate O2 analyzer Turn on LP compressor Turn on HP compressor Adjust fill whip allowing air to escape Calibrate permeate O2 analyzer Turn on LP compressor

Operating Nitrox Systems14 Follow all safety precautions Adjust input pressure to over 80 p.s.i. (5.5 bar) Verify thermostat operation Increase or decrease pressure to set final O2% Adjust input pressure to over 80 p.s.i. (5.5 bar) Verify thermostat operation Increase or decrease pressure to set final O2%

Operating Nitrox Systems15 Final adjustments Fill O2 analyzer should read same as inline O2 analyzer You are ready to pump nitrox! Fill O2 analyzer should read same as inline O2 analyzer You are ready to pump nitrox!

Operating Nitrox Systems16 Always test the nitrox in the cylinder with an independent analyzer! Have the customer analyze the gas and sign for it

Operating Nitrox Systems19 Using the Voyager Always read the manual first! Check oil level & filters Check LP feed valve is off Start HP compressor Always read the manual first! Check oil level & filters Check LP feed valve is off Start HP compressor

Operating Nitrox Systems20 Using the Voyager Open one fill whip - adjust to hold 1500 p.s.i. (103 bar) Drain condensate Calibrate analyzers Open one fill whip - adjust to hold 1500 p.s.i. (103 bar) Drain condensate Calibrate analyzers

Operating Nitrox Systems21 Operation is simple! Adjust regulator initially for low pressure Turn on LP feed air valve Increase regulator pressure to p.s.i. ( bar) Adjust regulator initially for low pressure Turn on LP feed air valve Increase regulator pressure to p.s.i. ( bar)

Operating Nitrox Systems22 Operation is simple! Wait for O2% to stabilize on permeate analyzer Adjust regulated input pressure Wait for correct nitrox % on the fill O2 analyzer When O2% is correct, attach whip & fill tank!

Operating Nitrox Systems24 Operation of membrane systems is easy! Membrane systems provide accurate nitrox mixtures. Membrane systems require the least amount of training. Membrane systems allow you to fill nitrox tanks at same rate as air tanks. Membrane systems provide accurate nitrox mixtures. Membrane systems require the least amount of training.
