Care And Maintenance - IKA C 7010 Mode D'emploi

Care and Maintenance

The work described in the following may only be performed by
authorized personnel or IKA.
A new leak test is required after any work performed on the fit-
tings of the decomposition vessel.
Furthermore, reference is made to the regulation for pressure
vessels 97/23/EC.
Send in the case of service the equipment back in the original
packaging. Storage packing is nit sufficient for the back
dispatch. Use additionally a suitable transportation packing.
Replacing the ignition wire
The C 7010 and C 7012 decompo-
sition vessels are equipped with
a fixed ignition wire. Since the
ignition wire is subjected to
a high degree of material
stress during combustion,
it should be replaced
after about visible
wear.

Replacing the ignition electrode
The ignition electrode has to be replaced if it has become worn as
a combustion in the decomposition vessel.
• Open the decompositon vessel as described under „Opening
the decompositon vessel".
• Take hold of the complete cover unit.
• Remove the ignition wire.
• Unscrew the hexonal nut item 6/11( I) in a counterclockwise
direction using the double open ended spanner SW 5,5 while firm-
ly holding the ignition electrode (item 5). Screw the hexagonal nut
completely off of the ignition electrode and put it a side for later
assembly.
• Pull the ignition electrode out of the cover. Make certain that
the insulating bushing (item 9) are removed with the electrode.
Clean both parts if required.
☞
A new o-ring (item7) should be used when the new elec-
trode is inserted.
Information on how to replace the o-ring is provided further on in
this chapter. Make certain that there are no dirt particles in the
cover when reassembling the unit. Use a paper towel to clean the
sealing surfaces.
Installation is performed in the reverse order.
• Put the rate insulating bushing item 8 and 13 and the bearing
bushing item 9 on to ignition electrode.
• Insert the new ignition electrode contained in the set of elec-
trodes with deflector (item 2002) into the cover.
• The hexagonal nut (item 6/11( I) should only be slightly tighte-
ned with the spanner.
A leak test should be performed after assembly of the decompo-
sition vessel has been completed.
• Fill the decomposition vessel with oxygen. Use the C48 oxy-
gen station in order do so.
• Hold the decomposition vessel with the cover upside down in
vessel that is completely filled with water. Be careful to only
immerse only half of the decomposition vessel at most.
