Cool Partners Air purger nominal condensing capacity 10 kW Mk. 3

Description of (pos. no.) function and items The heat exchanger in the air purger has a nominal design capacity of 10kW at 10°C differential pressure / temperature between suction pressure and condensing pressure on the system it is connected to. At larger pressure/temperature differences the capacity increase to a maximum of 13kW. The low pressure side connected to the air purger needs to be able to deliver this capacity. However the actual air (non condensable gas) venting capacity is dependent on the amount of non condensables in the condenser. On the high pressure side the air purger draws refrigerant gas and non condensables into the purger with a minimum of 10kW’s capacity, ensuring that the purger vents as much non condensables as possible during its operation. Due to its high capacity it is recommended that on small systems the purger is only run for a relatively short period of time every day. Once the general level of non condensibles has been brought down to a low level, one hour once or twice a day is often appropriate. In conjunction with this we recommend that you compare the time the air purger is in operation with the time it vents. If the air purger vents a majority of time in operation, it is likely possible to get more air out by increasing the time in operation. On the other hand, if the air purger only vents for a short period of time during operation, it is recommended to shorten the time in operation and thereby saving the 10kW of heat load. Once the air purger gains access to large pockets of air, its capacity will be very large and not limited to the condensing capacity of the coil as illustrated in below diagram.

The diagram outlines the amount of air purged per hour from the air purger as a function of the condensing pressure. The green curve illustrates the volumetric flow rate of air out of the air

purger at atmospheric pressure (1bar), while the red curve shows the volumetric flow rate of air out of the air purger at condensing pressure. The mass flow is the same for the two curves. In other words the green curve shows the volume of the air when it is purged out of the air purger and the red curve shows how much volume the air occupied in the condenser at condensing pressure. By using the diagram the purged volume of air can be calculated, from the total time the purge solenoid valve has been opened.

Example: If the purge solenoid valve has been open 10.250 seconds since the last venting and the average condensing pressure has been 22°C, the purged air (non condensable gas) volume will be: 10250/3600 = 2.8477 hours of open time (2 hours and 51 minutes) Air (non condensable gas) volume at atmospheric pressure (green curve): 3.9 mᶟ/hr x 2.8477hrs = 11.1 mᶟ = 11100 liters. Air (non condensable gas) volume at condensing pressure (red curve): 0.319 mᶟ/hr x 2.8477 hrs = 0.908 mᶟ = 908 liters. This means 908 liters of space in the condenser would have been occupied by air (non condensable gas) and would not have been used for condensing refrigerant resulting in higher condensing pressure if it wasn’t purged out by the CPA 10-3 Note: The “rule of thumb” is that every degree Celsius the condensing pressure rises the power consumption on the compressors will rise approx 3% and the cooling capacity will be approx 1% lower.

Installation: If the CPA 10-3 air purger is installed with either pumped or high pressure liquid feed (standard installation, see enclosed drawing), it does not need to be installed in any specific position in relation to the condenser, high pressure receiver etc. The CPA 10-3 can be installed anywhere convenient for your system. If the CPA 10-3 is installed for gravity feed circulation (see enclosed drawing), it needs to be placed appropriately in relation to the feed reservoir to enable a low pressure liquid flow into the air purger. The height difference requirement to secure this gravity circulation of the refrigerant is to place the CPA 10-3 a minimum of 0.5 m. below lowest liquid level in the low pressure liquid separator. Important: The foul gas (pos 8) line from the condenser must be a minimum DN15 (½”) and all the valves in this line should be a minimum DN 15 (½”) (solenoid valves, stop valves) to ensure the necessary capacity can be transported to the air purger while it is purging. NOTE: Foul gas line must be connected to DN10 (3/8”) inlet on purger, but should be DN15 until last possible moment.

Description of positions and function The following numbers refer to the position numbers in the enclosed drawing.

1) Connection for liquid supply: DN 15 (½”) Function: The Low pressure liquid fills the CPA 10-3 outer vessel to keep the inner vessel and coil cooled.

Page 4: Air purger type CPA 10-3 instruction - ABTehnic Profesional...The EVM solenoid valve (pos. 1.C) must be opened when the air purger get “run” power from the refrigeration system

The liquid supply can be done in three different ways either by low pressure pumped liquid, gravity circulation, or by high pressure liquid. Pos. 1 A is the standard connection for the liquid supply to a low pressure pumped liquid

line through the included orifice Ø 3,0 mm (pos.1.A). Pos. 1.B is the connection type to be used if the CPA 10-3 is feed by gravity circulation.

When using gravity circulation the CPA 10-3 must be placed min. 0,5 m below lowest liquid level in the low pressure liquid separator and the Ø 3,0 mm orifice must be removed.

Pos 1.C If the CPA 10-3 is feed by high pressure liquid supply a Danfoss EVM + CVH (not included in delivery) + special orifice screw (Ø 1,2 mm included in delivery on request ) must be used. The special orifice screw must be mounted in the EVM solenoid valve (pos. 1.C) and the EVM mounted in the CVH housing. The EVM solenoid valve (pos. 1.C) must be opened when the air purger get “run” power from the refrigeration system by the same power supply as the EVM in pos. 13. and the HBCPA 10-3 controller. The CPA 10-3 must be stopped when the refrigeration systems stops and / or when the liquid separator it is connected to gives alarm / warning for high level. Otherwise there is a risk of overfilling the low pressure liquid separator.

2) Stop valve: Danfoss SVA15 or similar Function: Stop valve for oil draining Note: The costumer/user must mount a quick closing valve (self closing) (Pos. 3 not enclosed in delivery), for instance a Danfoss QDV, according to the local rules and regulations where the purger is mounted.

3) Quick closing drain valve. Danfoss QDV or similar. (Not enclosed in delivery) Function: Safety function during oil draining. Note: This valve must be mounted by the user according to local rules and regulations.

4) Connection to “wet” suction line: DN 32 (1 ¼”) stainless steel. Function: Connects the air purger to the low pressure liquid separator.

5) Safety valve: Danfoss SFV 15 or similar according to local rules and regulations. Not included in delivery. For calculation of safety valve for the CPA 10-3, an outer surface of 0.45 M² can be used. Function: Securing the vessel against excessive pressure. A safety valve must be selected and mounted by the user according to local rules and regulations.

6) Stop valve: Danfoss SVA 32 or similar. Not included in delivery. Function: Close the “wet” suction line from the air purger for service etc.

7) Connection to fouled gas from purge points: DN 10 (3/8”) stainless steel. Function: Connects the internal coil with the purge points. Note: The connection from the coil to the purge points must be min. DN 15 (½”) and the connection must never be closed during operation of the CPA 10-3 as this can result in an unintended refrigerant gas release from the air purger.

8) Stop valve: Danfoss SVA 15 or similar. Not included in delivery. Function: Closing the fouled gas line from purge points during service. NOTE: This valve must never be closed during operation of the air purger as it can result in an unintended release of refrigerant gas thru the air purger vent line.

9) Air vent: Armstrong air vent type 11AV (part number: 99108044). Function: The air vent is only an extra safety device against liquid refrigerant release in the event of electrical or mechanical problems. The air vent acts as a float valve that will only allow vapor to pass. As the air vent only has a metallic seal, it will not be able to close completely tight, so in the event of a major malfunction of the air purger a very small discharge of refrigerant vapor through this air vent can be observed.

10) Stop valve: Danfoss SVA 15 or similar Function: Stop valve for service of the air purging pipe and valves.

11) Solenoid valve with special built in orifice: Danfoss EVM pilot solenoid valve, with special orifice mounted in CVH pilot valve housing. Function: When the solenoid valve opens it allows for air purging. Regulation: The solenoid opens when the liquid level in the separation chamber is pressed below the lowest switch point of the special level probe by the air (non condensable gas) above the liquid surface. The solenoid valve closes again when there has been enough air purged allowing the liquid level to reach the upper factory preset switch point of the level probe. Note: A time counter is integrated in the HBCPA control box, counting how many seconds the purge solenoid (pos11) has been open. This gives a fairly accurate measurement of how much air has been purged from the system. Please see the diagram and example on page 1.

12) Check valve: Parker stainless steel hydraulic check valve with max. 0.5 bars opening pressure or similar. Function: The check valve ensures that ambient air or water from a water reservoir/bubbler is not drawn into the CPA 10-3 in the event of a malfunction where the pressure in the CPA 10-3 could drop below atmospheric pressure.

13) Solenoid valve with special built in orifice: Danfoss EVM pilot solenoid valve, with special expansion orifice mounted into the internal connection housing of the CPA 10-3 Function: CPA 10-3 on/off valve. The solenoid valve will start the CPA 10-3 when it opens and stop the CPA 10-3 when it closes. The special expansion orifice and the internal connection housing work as an expansion valve for return of condensed liquid to the suction side of the refrigeration system. Once the solenoid valve opens, the condensed and sub cooled liquid in the CPA 10-3 separation chamber is drained back and expanded through the connection housing to the CPA’s external chamber. As the separation chamber is drained for condensed liquid, new refrigerant and non condensable gas is drawn into the CPA 10-3 for separation. Regulation: The EVM must be energized when the HBCPA control box is energized. NOTE: The EVM solenoid valve must be energized by the power supply line to the HBCPA control box so the EVM is always open when the control box is energized.

14) Capacitive liquid level probe: A HBLC-SW3 special level control rod with build in heating element and two factory calibrated preset switch points for correct function. Function: When the volume of air (non condensable gas) in the separation chamber increase

it will displace the volume of condensed refrigerant in the separation chamber and the liquid level will drop. The level probe will open the air vent solenoid valve at low liquid level and close it again at high liquid level. Regulation: When the level drops below the lowest preset switch point on the level probe (pos. 14), the air purge solenoid (pos11) opens and the air (non condensable gas) purge at condensing pressure through the purge solenoid with its special orifice (pos.11). When the liquid level reach the upper preset switch point on the level probe (pos.14) the air purger solenoid (pos10) closes.

15) Water filled reservoir. Not included in delivery. Function: Absorption of any ammonia gas that might be purged with the air (non condensable gas). Bubbles that pass through the water to the surface are air (non condensable gas), while bubbles that disappear in the water will be ammonia gas. Note: The ammonia content in the purged air will depend on the difference between the saturated condensing and saturated evaporating temperatures respectively. A large difference will result in a very low content of ammonia, while a low difference will result in a somewhat higher content.

16) HBCPA Control box: A complete control box for CPA 10-3 (and CPAM) with connection for up to 3 purge points Function: Start delay: The control box will delay the possible opening of the air out blow valve in 10 to 60 minutes (adjustable) from the start of the air purger to ensure that the CPA 10-3 and the refrigeration system are in balance before it is allowed to vent air out. Recommended standard setting is 30 minutes. The delay time can be set longer on systems where it takes a long time for the starting compressors to make normal differential pressure in the system. The delay time can be set shorter if the starting compressor makes normal system differential pressure very quickly. Liquid level indication: At normal operation the display on the HBCPA Control box will show the liquid level in the separation chamber of the CPA 10-3. By following the liquid level it can be seen if air is building up in the separation chamber as the liquid level will slowly drop. When the level reaches the preset low switch point the air vent valve is opened. The air vent is closed again when the liquid level reaches the preset upper level. This can be followed on the HBCPA Control Box during operation. Air purging start and stop: The control box will allow the CPA 10-3 to vent air when the inner chamber is filled with air (non condensable gas) and after the start up timer has run out. The air purging starts when liquid level reaches the lower preset switch point of the special HBLC-SW3 liquid level sensor and stops again when the liquid level reaches the preset upper switch point. Purge time counter: The control box has a build in purge time counter so the volume of air purged can be calculated from the curves enclosed in the description material. The time counter counts the time the air vent valve (pos.11) has been opened in hours, minutes and seconds. When the control box is in “total purge time” mode the display will show the total opening hours when the LED indicator (HRS) is lead up and the minutes when the (MIN) is

lead up and the seconds when the (SEC) indicator is lead up. The total purge time is the total time the air vent valve (pos.11) has been open no matter the control box has been switched off (or lost power etc.) as the time is stored in the memory of the control box. Purge points: The control box has connections for up to 3 purge points. When a time (10 to 120 minutes) is set for a purge point the purge point will be active. If zero (0 minutes) is entered for the purge point the purge point is not active. Note: It is very important that only the purge points which are connected to the refrigeration system are set to be active in the control box. Otherwise the air purger can be turned on with no open connection to the fouled HP gas which can lead to an unintended release of refrigerant vapor. Note: If the optional 16 or 32 purge point sequencer is used the 3 purge point connections on the CPA 10-3 controller should not be used. If the purge points on both the control box and the sequencer are used together two purge points will be open at the same time. This could short cut the equalizing pressure on the open drain pipes on the condensers. Regulation: When the refrigeration system is ON and the user wants to run the CPA 10-3 air purger: The CPA 10-3 ON solenoid valve pos. 13 AND the (optional) liquid solenoid valve pos. 1.C AND the control box pos. 16 AND the (optional) purge point sequencer pos. 17 must be switched ON by 240 V ac. Power supply.

17) HBCPA-PPS, Purge point sequencer (optional): A stand alone purge point sequencer for 16 or 32 purge points, which will switch between 16 (HBCPA-PPS-16) or alternatively 32 (HBCPA-PPS-32) purge points (large model). Function: The purge point sequencer will switch between the active purge points and keep them open in an adjustable time (10 to 999 minutes). The purge time on each purge point will be the same according to the setting. Note: The purge point sequencer does not need any communication with the control box it only needs to get power supply when the CPA 10-3 is ON. This makes it possible to place the purge point sequencer anywhere the user wants to put it. Normally it will be an advantage to place the purge point sequencer very close to the condensers, making wiring connections between the purge point sequencer and the solenoid valves at the purge points as short as possible.

Safety It is the costumers/users responsibility to connect the air purger to a safety valve system in

accordance with local rules and regulations. For calculation of safety valves an outer surface of the air purger vessel of 0.45 m² can be used.

The costumer/user must mount a quick closing drain valve on the oil drain in accordance with local rules and regulations.

The costumer/user must ensure that the air purger cannot be activated without access to an open purge point. If this requirement is not met it can result in refrigerant in the air purge line.

It is not possible to get trapped liquid in the air purger as long as no service stop valves are closed since solenoid valves can open backwards allowing trapped liquid to escape.

Note: It is recommended to check the refrigeration systems water content on the low pressure side, when air is found in the system as the air brings moisture with it. Since air and water are pollutants in a refrigeration system, the presence of them have serious consequences for the system’s capacity, power consumption, efficiency and maintenance cost. If any water is found in ammonia refrigeration systems it is recommended to mount a CPW-15 (Cool Partners Water purger) to clean the system for water and other impurities.

Trouble shooting: Condition Cause / Solution

A little constant smell of ammonia from the air vent pipe and Armstrong liquid trap (pos. 9) very cold at the bottom.

Electrical failure keeping the air vent solenoid valve (pos. 11) open when there is no air trapped in the air purger.

Air vent solenoid valve (pos. 11) is leaking.

High concentration of ammonia gas released when the air purger is purging air.

There is no open connection to at least one purge point. This could be caused by a broken coil or an electrical problem where no solenoid valves at the purge points are open or a closed service stop valve in the fouled gas line

Liquid feed orifice clogged

The air purger does not seem to have any condensing capacity.

The coil on the ON / OFF solenoid valve (pos.13) is broken.

The special built in orifice in the ON / OFF solenoid valve (pos. 13) is clogged and must be cleaned. (note the complete CPA 3-10 must be emptied for liquid and high pressure refrigerant through the oil drain line before the solenoid valve (pos. 13) can be dismantled.

The air vent never seems to open. No air in the system

Foul gas line mounted on the refrigeration system at a spot where no air accumulates.

Quick guide HBCPA-C240V/C24V – Controller to be used for using with level switch for

Air Purger type CPA-10

Functionality: The HBCPA controller is made for control NH3 level in CPA Air Purger and 3 air purge point valve.

The HBCPA version is either 24VDC or 100-240VAC type, which is the control voltage for Air venting,

P1, P2 and P3. The Air venting control opens when the HBLC-SW detects to high concentrate of air in

the air purger, and close again when the concentration of air is eliminated. P1, P2 and P3 is

automatically opened sequentially in the selected purge time. It starts with opening P1 and changing

to open P2 and to open P3, this sequence is started over after the last purge point is closed again. If

e.g. P2 is disabled, then the sequence will go from P1 to open P3.

If the HBCPA is to be used in a different way, prior approval must be obtained from HB Products.

Caution:

Only qualified personnel should work with the product. The technician must be aware of the

consequences of an improperly installed sensor, and must be committed to adhering to the

applicable local legislation.

Quick guide HBCPA-PPS 240VAC

Functionality: The HBCPA-PPS controller is made for control 16-32 air purge point valves.

The HBCPA-PPS are starting with opening the air purge point 1 with the time set in the “purge point

time” settings, and after time end it change to air purge point 2 and etc. HBCPA-PPs will follow this

sequence automatically between the numbers of air purge point sets by the setting “No. of purge

points”

If the HBCPA is to be used in a different way, prior approval must be obtained from HB Products.

Caution:

NOTE – When the HBCPA-PPS is used together with the HBCPA-C240V/C24 controller for the CPA

airpurger, the 3 air purge points on the HBCPA-C240V/C24 shall not be used otherwise there will be

2 air purge points open at the same time. This will cause a short cut of the pressure equalization on

condenser drain lines.

Only qualified personnel should work with the product. The technician must be aware of the

consequences of an improperly installed sensor, and must be committed to adhering to the

applicable local legislation.
