SG Series Model

    6.1.3 PERFORM IN PLACE CLEANING                                                                                                              

   If the SG is equipped with In Place Cleaning a daily 

wash cycle is required refer to In Place Cleaning 

Owner’s Manual and Sequence of Operation 

instructions.  a typical seven day wash cycle would be 

six day waterwash without detergent with the seven 

day a detergent wash.  The detergent wash frequency 

can be increased up to everyday.  the auto wash cycle 

is initiated by a uaS time clock, with the wash cycle 

sequencing, wash cycle times, and detergent frequency 

through the uaS Main electrical Panel.   a wash 

cycle can be manually initiated, identical operation 

as the auto wash cycle, for an additional wash cycle. 

a wash cycle whether a manual or by time clock can 

only be initiated with the SG off line.   the wash cycle 

frequency could be increased or decreased depending 

on visual inspection of the components and high 

voltage measurements. When the SG is placed on 

line after a wash cycle, the power pack enclosure(s) 

indicator light(s) may intermittently or continuously blink 

for approximately 60 minutes.  If this condition exceeds 

60 minutes, refer to Section 10 troubleshooting. 

    6.1.4 MANUALLY CLEANING COMPONENTS, 

CABINET AND OTHER EQUIPMENT AS REQUIRED.                             

   the unit components should be manually cleaned one 

to three month interval depending upon application/high 

voltage measurements refer to Section 6.2. 

6.2  MANUAL CLEANING OF SMOG-HOG 

COMPONENTS

   there are a number of methods for manual cleaning, 

certain key cleaning criteria contribute to the 

effectiveness of every method. these include the type 

of detergent, detergent strength, water temperature, 

agitation/ impingement, duration, rinse procedure and 

dry-out time. 

    6.2.1 TYPE OF DETERGENT   

   in general, the detergent used on most hydrocarbons 

(e.g., oily residues) will be alkaline in nature.  it is 

extremely important that the detergent have a built-in 

buffering agent to reduce aluminum deterioration.   

    6.2.2 DETERGENT STRENGTH          

   Detergent concentration in a mixture with water varies 

with the application from 1:1 to 20:1 parts water to parts 

detergent. for any contaminant condition, the best 

course is to use a cleaning solution per the detergent 

manufacturer’s directions. More or less detergent 

may eventually be required for effective cleaning at 

reasonable detergent cost.  the recommended factory 

detergent concentration is 5% (20:1). 

 

CAUTION

  

Never mix caustic and alkaline detergents for 

manual or in-place cleaning. Detergent mixing 

could cause rapid heat release, gel formation 

or some other undesirable condition. Complete 

purging of system piping is necessary when 

changing detergents. 

   
    6.2.3 WATER TEMPERATURE 

   Detergents can be up to twice as effective in hot water. 

Hot water alone is very effective in softening built-up 

residue. Water temperature should be 140°F to 170°F, 

not to exceed 180°F. 

    6.2.4 AGITATION/IMPINGEMENT           

   these methods are virtually the same, with 

impingement being the most extreme form of agitation. 

Any liquid movement over built-up residue will remove 

a layer, allowing detergent to work on the next layer. A 

reduction in cleaning time duration usually results. 

    6.2.5 CLEANING CYCLE DURATION           

   In most cleaning methods, adequate time should be    

allowed for the detergent to remove the contaminant 

thoroughly. reaction time will vary depending on 

detergent strength, temperature and agitation. 

Guidelines for mixing, heating and expected results are 

included on specification sheets for most detergents.  

time is necessary for effective cleaning.  Soaking may 

seem slower and less effective than high impingement 

and/or hot water above 180°F for cleaning action, so 

personnel should be forewarned about using excessive 

pressure or temperature to shortcut the cleaning 

process.  High pressure or stream spray cleaning until 

plate edges are shiny is not effective. not only will 

penetration to the cell core not occur, but warping and 

bending of the plates may result as well. Patience and 

thoroughness of cleaning best preserve the integrity of 

the components in the long term. Soaking and gentle 

rinsing provides for best results. 

    6.2.6 RINSE PROCEDURE           

   Cleaned components should be rinsed off quickly and 

thoroughly to remove remaining contaminants.  Some 

detergent residue will remain if rinsing is not performed. 

the residue may contribute to voltage bleed-down when 

the unicell is placed in operation. also, even though the 

detergent is “buffered” prolonged contact could cause 

minor corrosion.  Hot water should be used for rinsing.
