NOTE
If the separator is opened too soon, the following could happen:
– The pin on the inside of the connecting housing breaks.
– The pin inside the top of the paring disc breaks.
– Excessive wear of top of level ring.
Illustration 8:
Some coolant will normally leak from the connecting housing when the frame hood is opened. If
coolant continues to leak, the cause could be a non-sealing check valve (if any) while the separator
is connected to a tank with a level higher than the separator (siphon effect).
Illustration 15:
NOTE
Never use sharp or metallic tools when cleaning the bowl wall. This can damage the coating and later on cause
pitting corrosion. Always use soft rags.
Cleaning of the disc stack in not normally necessary unless sludge has accumulated and entered
the stack (cleaning interval too long).
