Ammonia purifier is often used in many processing industries. Water, dirt and oil residues are non-avoidable in the all kinds of major industrial refrigeration plants where, ammonia is often used. This causes large range of problems in the plant in general, and also in the compressors. This means that the regular maintenance interval prescribed by a System Integrator is no longer sufficient and the over-all operating costs of the system reaches an unnecessary high limits.
• Water causes the oil to dissolve in ammonia.
• Dirt is deposited in valves, filters, pipe systems and heat exchanger.
• Oil in ammonia causes contamination, particularly in the case of low-pressure vessels and evaporators
Analyses have shown that the typical content of water, oil, gas in ammonia which is used in industrial refrigeration plants is near about 1-6 %, and in worst cases it’s up to 10%. Water in ammonia has very harmful effects which lead to higher power consumption, increased corrosion and that result in decomposition of oil, which contaminates the plant.
How you can tell if there’s water in your system?
Air-purgers systems only remove non-condensable particulates like air that is present in your system. If your air-purger has been discharging air, it’s always leaving behind the water vapour that’s been present in the air. If your recirculating evaporator is operating at few degrees warmer than the indicated pressure, this is due to water present in Ammonia.
If water comes out of your oil tank before the oil, there is water present in your system. So here, you can easily measure the quantity of Water in your system with the graduated Ammonia Sampling Container.
Ammonia Purifier Installation:
While the water, dirt, oil most generally accepts only cold liquid ammonia gas from pump separator, it also draws the ammonia from medium coolers where water accumulates.
Ammonia has a number of benefits, which has been proven by many decades of application of ammonia refrigeration systems.
Advantages of Ammonia Purifiers:
Lower Installation Cost:
Maniks Ammonia purifiers has lower installation cost, because it requires only a few isolation valves, a simpler level controller and solenoid valves Therefore the Maniks WDO keeps the cost of installation to at minimum cost.
Self- Regulating Operation:
The unique design of Maniks Anydrator allows it to operate continuously without any disturbance. It easily handles system problems or upsets without re-introducing the water and contaminants in ammonia to the pump separator after they have been previously removed.
Shortest Payback Time:
Thanks to its low initial cost, the Manik Anhydrator pays for itself in least amount of time.
Energy Neutral Operation:
Unlike all other system cleaners, the Maniks Anhydrator uses sensible heat from the high pressure fluid to separate out the ammonia from water and other contaminants like oil, dirt etc. Instead of being wasted, the resulting gas is now doing useful work for cleaning your system.
Very Low Maintenance:
Batch-type system cleaners must be monitored and drained at unpredictable intervals. Its self-regulating operation and ability to safely return ammonia to the pump separator make the Maniks WDO is maintenance free. Start it up and let it run. Drain Water and contaminants at your convenience.
The unit will hold the water and contaminants indefinite. Reduced power consumption by the plant compressors reduced wear and tear on compressors and valves Elimination of cumbersome oil draining A very clean plant Optimal performance of the refrigeration plant Reduced maintenance costs Less down time Improved operating cost.
Maniks manufactures controls, control valves for automation of refrigeration plant since 1978. Maniks is truly following the dream of our Honorable Prime-Minister Narendra Modi, Make in India. We are Made India since 1978. Our products include Ammonia solenoid valves, Pressure / Temperature Regulating Valves, In Line Check (Non Return) Valves, Safety Valves, pulse valves, dust collector valves, pilot operated valves etc.
Maniks products are very much popular in Cold Storages Pharmaceuticals, Staple Fiber, Chemical, Beverages and Breweries, Nylon and Textile Industry, Bulk Drug, Dairy, Food Industry, Dyes and Intermediates Industry.
