FAM Description

The FluidAqua Mobil FAM ATEX was developed for the dewatering, filtration and degassing of hydraulic and lubricating oils. It removes free water, emulsified water and a large percentage of the water to be found in solution. The integrated fluid filter ensures an efficient separation of solid particles. The degassing of the fluid is achieved using the setup vacuum in vacuum column.

Performance features

The FAM is able to reduce the water content of those fluids described in the chapter “Suitable Fluids” to less than 100 ppm.

Typical dewatering rates (ISO VG46):

FAM-15 ≈ 1.0 l/h

FAM-30 ≈ 1.7 l/h

FAM-50 ≈ 2.2 l/h

FAM-70 ≈ 2.6 l/h

The dewatering speed is dependent on:

Dewatering speed

Water content

Fluid temperature

Detergent additives

Flow rate FAM

Description of function

Switch on the FAM at the main switch. After the "Start delay" switch is activated, the inlet valve opens and the vacuum pump builds up the necessary vacuum. This vacuum causes the fluid which is to be purified to be sucked into the vacuum column.

The fluid to be cleaned trickles downward through special filling materials. These filling materials multiply the surface in the vacuum column and make it possible to form a fine fluid film.

The fluid collects in the bottom of the vacuum column up to the level switch [02]. Then the inlet valve closes, and the evacuation pump conveys the fluid through the fluid filter to the outlet.

The filling level in the vacuum column drops down to the level switch [01]. Once the level [01] is reached, the 2/2 directional control valve opens, and fluid passes from the inlet through the suction strainer in vacuum column until the level switch [02] is reached. The 2/2 directional valve closes and the procedure begins again.

The vacuum in the vacuum column sucks atmospheric air out through the air filter. This air flows down into the vacuum column and is sucked out by the vacuum pump. By virtue of this flow of air, the air picks up the humidity of the fluid.

The monitoring of the vacuum pump is limited to the pressure and the temperature. The oil fill level in the vacuum pump is to be monitored by daily visual inspection.

The vacuum in the vacuum column is set with the needle valve (vacuum setting).

The evacuation pump is protected against dry running by the fill level limit switch in the vacuum column. The fill level limit switch switches the electric motor of the evacuation pump off when the vacuum column has been emptied.

When the "Stop overrun" switch has been pressed, the inlet valve closes and the evacuation pump pumps the vacuum column empty. As soon as the light H2 goes out, the FAM can be switched off via the emergency-off switch.

When the emergency-off switch has been put into OFF position, the vacuum pump and evacuation pump are switched off. The inlet valve closes under spring force.

FAM Set-up and Connection

CAUTION

Outlet air of the vacuum pump

Hazardous to health

► Always make sure there is sufficient ventilation in the surrounding area of the unit.

The air exiting the vacuum pump can contain component parts of the vacuum pump oil and/or of the fluid.

Depending on the composition of the oil and the composition of the gas, there is a danger of damage to health if the emergent gas is inhaled over an extended period of time.

Setting up the unit

Observe the following points when setting up the unit:

Set up the unit horizontally on a level surface. Special mounting is not required.

Lock the immobilization brakes on the wheels to avoid unintended movement of the unit. (mobile version only)

Set up the unit directly beside the tank that is to be cleaned. Observe the maximum permitted suction pressure.

Make sure to note the ambient temperature on type label of the unit.

Ensure that the main switch is freely accessible at all times.

Keep an area of at least 0.8 m around the unit free for maintenance purposes.

Make sure that the control panel is always freely accessible and that the control cabinet can be opened fully.

Connecting the FAM

All hoses on the FAM must be sufficiently conductive to properly discharge electrostatic charge buildup.

If hoses are used, the ohmic resistance between the fittings—in this case between the FAM and the tank—may not exceed a limit value depending on the respective hose type.

Marking the hose with the symbol "M":

Limit value ≤102

Marking the hose with the symbol "": Limit value ≤106

The hose connection must ensure a highly conductive transition between the hose and FAM tube, as well as between the hose and tank tube.

If this is not the case, all conducting parts (such as the metal mouth piece at the end of the hose) are to be grounded separately.

Connecting conductive hoses with fittings to hose tubes requires marking and checking per DIN EN 12 115.

Connect the ground clamp of the unit to a suitable grounding source nearby. The grounding lead is 3 m long.

Notes on piping / hosing

NOTICE

Non-permitted pressure at the inlet IN / outlet OUT

Risk of malfunctions

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

Make sure that the cross-section of the connected hoses/piping is 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. Connect all connectors to the FAM without initial stress.

The pressure at the inlet/outlet depends on the height differential between the FAM fluid surface in the tank (suction 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)

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

BeWa FAM15-70 Atex 3935750 en-us 2014-07-24.doc 2014-07-24

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

Flow rate

Kinematic viscosity

Pipe dimensions

Density of fluid

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

∆p ≈ 6,8 * L / d4 * Q * V * D ∆p = Pressure differential in [bar]

L = pipe length [m]

d = internal pipe diameter [mm]

Q = Flow rate [l/min]

V = Kinematic viscosity [mm²/s]

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

This applies to straight pipe runs and hydraulic oils. Additional threaded connections and pipe bends increase the pressure differential.

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

Hoses must be suitable for suction pressures of at least -0.5 bar.

Avoid constrictions in connecting pipelines because they reduce output and increase the risk of cavitation.

The nominal size of the connected hoses/piping must be at least as large as the inlet port sizes in order to prevent an excessively high negative suction pressure.

Connecting suction port (IN)

NOTICE

Overpressure at the suction port connection

The unit will be damaged

► The pressure at suction port IN must be in the range from -0.25 to +2 bar.

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 strainer.

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

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

Make sure that the cross-section of the connected hoses/piping is 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 in the tank.

Electrical Connection of the FAM

DANGER

Exposed electrical components in the switch cabinet

Danger of fatal injury due to electric shock

► Any work involving the electrical system may only be done by a properly trained, certified electrician.

The electrical connection of units without connection plugs to the power supply module may only be performed by a technician with corresponding knowledge and skills.

Make sure that the voltage and frequency specifications on the FAM type label correspond to the existing mains voltage.

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.

In order to keep the keep the temperature increase of th electric motors within the permissible limits, observe range A in EN/IEC 60034-1 (VDE 0530-1) (±5% voltage or ±2% frequency deviation, curve shape, network symmetry) in relation to the specified rated voltage, unless otherwise indicated on the type label of the electric motor.

Check direction of rotation

Check the direction of rotation of the motor by switching it on briefly (jog mode). The FAM requires a clockwise rotating field at the connecting socket.

NOTICE

Incorrect phase sequence / rotation direction of the motor

The pumps will be destroyed.

► In jog mode, check the direction of rotation of the motors.

► A rotation direction arrow on the fan cover of the motor identifies the correct direction of rotation.

Make sure there is a clockwise rotating field. 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).

Prior to start up, ground the FAM using equipotential bonding.

Prior to starting up the FAM, connect the ground bond to the FAM and the tank to be cleaned.

Check the connection between the tank, the FAM and the ground potential for good conductivity.

Filling the seal chamber of the evacuation pump

Before initial commissioning, the seal chamber of the evacuation pump must be filled with the sealing medium ISO VG 10 ... ISO VG 100.

When refilling, use the fluid to be cleaned at a viscosity of between ISO VG 10 and VG 100.

This is needed in order to prevent dry running of the shaft seals.

Starting up the unit

NOTICE

Connection IN / OUT closed

The FAM will be destroyed

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

After you have made all connections and completed the preparations for commissioning, switch on the FAM at the main switch. For the lamp test, all lamps light up briefly.

Then the FAM goes to malfunction "[H15] V-pump pressure"; the malfunction light [S3] "Malfunction" blinks. This fault message results from the switch position of the "Siguard" (electric circuit diagram = A5) in the control cabinet and is eliminated by pressing the button [S1] "Start delay" or the button [S3] "Malfunction".

The system now begins with the starting phase. The vacuum pump starts up, the inlet valve opens, and the vacuum column is filled. When the vacuum chamber is filled to filling level [02], the evacuation pump is started up and the starting phase is finished. The purification operation runs. This is shown by the lighting up of the operating status lamp "FAM operation (H4)".

Setting the vacuum pressure

Now regulate the vacuum pressure in the vacuum column with the needle valve underneath the vacuum pressure display, depending on the operating viscosity.

Oil Operating viscosity

Pressure setting (absolute pressure)

Hydraulic oil 50 mm²/s 250 mbar / 25 kPa

Lubrication oil 300 mm²/s 250 - 500 mbar / 52 - 50 kPa (depending on foaming behavior)

Shut off FAM

Press key "Run-down [S2]". Now the unit starts with the after-running phase. The inlet valve closes, the vacuum pump is switched off, and the vacuum column is emptied.

Wait until the lamp H2 goes out, then move the main switch to the "Off" position. The system is now switched off.

FAM in manual operation

The following components can be switched on / off or opened / closed by hand in manual operation:

Vacuum pump

Evacuation pump

2/2 directional inlet valve

Manual operation is very helpful when searching for a fault. You can switch pumps on / off in a targeted way.

To switch to manual operation, press the button "Malfunction [S3]" for at least 6 seconds.

After you have switched to manual operation, the operating status lamp H4 flashes.

In manual operation, the allocation of buttons S1-S3 is as follows:

Inscription Description

S1 Start delay Switching evacuation pump On/Off

S2 Run-down Switching vacuum pump on/off

S3 Malfunction Opening/closing inlet valve

After a button is pressed, the corresponding operating status lamp lights up.

You can perform individual functions for a maximum of 15 minutes. The FAM then automatically switches off.

Once all functions have been deactivated, the unit exits manual operation automatically after 10 seconds.

Replacing filter element on the oil mist separator

Item Designation

1 Separator head

2 Separator pot

3 Clogging indicator

4 Filling level display

The oil mist separator is located between the vacuum column and the vacuum pump.

A filter element is used to retain the oil mist and the oil in the oil mist separator and the oil is collected in the separator pot, where it is continuously suctioned off and returned to the vacuum column.

The filter element (for part-no., see replacement parts list) is to be replaced on a regular basis in accordance with the maintenance schedule.

The clogging indicator (3) of the oil mist separator is not functioning.

Replacing the filter element on the oil mist separator

Quit automatic mode of the FAM. Then wait ≈1 minute until normal pressure (environmental pressure) is reached in the vacuum column.

Rotate the separator pot [2] 1/8th of a turn to the left (bayonet seal) and remove from the bottom.

Turn the used filter element clockwise to remove and dispose of it in an environmentally correct manner.

Insert the new filter element and screw it into the separator head (1) by turning it counterclockwise.

Insert the separator pot (2) into the separator head (1), and secure it with a 1/8th turn (bayonet seal).

The filter element change is now complete.
