Troubleshooting and Service

Symptom - Nitrogen Generator

Course of Action

Loss of Outlet Pressure

Check that the flow control valve on the generator is fully open and control the flow with a valve at the process.

Check operating pressure to assure that it is greater than 60 psig (4.1 barg).

Check the system for leaks.

Loss of Outlet Flow

Check operating pressure to assure that it is greater than 60 psig (4.1 barg).

Check setting of flow control valve.  Adjust if necessary.

Check the system for leaks.

Purity is Lower than Specified for

Check setting of flow rate compared to specification.

Check the operating pressure to assure that it has not varied from the original reading.

Check the system for leaks.

Measure the temperature and dewpoint of the inlet air.  The recommended temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the recommended
dewpoint 60°F (15°C) or lower.

Calibrate oxygen analyzer (if needed).

Air Leak Through Drains of Prefilters

Check inlet pressure.  It should be greater than 15 psig (1 barg) to seal drain.

Remove tubing from the drain outlet, hold finger over drain opening for a few seconds to allow pressure to build and drain to seal.

Remove bowl from filter assembly and rinse with water.

If leak persists, replace automatic float drain (P/N 21552).

Symptom - Oxygen Analyzer

Course of Action

(Model HFX0-3 only)

Display varies

Check process flow demand

Check sensor light

Check sample lines for leaks

Alarm stays on

Check set points

Limited range during calibration

Replace sensor (P/N 72695)
