1.0 DESCRIPTION 1.1 General Information and Principles of Operation Your E-Series reverse osmosis (RO) machine is a durable piece of equipment which, withproper care, will last for many years. These instructions give operating and maintenancedetails vital to the sustained performance of the machine....

Page 9 - Principles of Operation

Some operating definitions are provided to help you further understand your machine: Permeate Rate [Product Water Rate (Q p )] is the flow rate of purified water which has passed through the membrane element and out of the membrane element housing;expressed in gal/min (gpm) or gal/hr (gph) [in metri...

Page 10 - Flow Description; - The feed water passes through a replaceable 5-micron cartridge

Flow Description - The feed water passes through a replaceable 5-micron cartridge pre-filter which removes bulk suspended solids. Filtered water then flows to the inlet con-trol valve. This solenoid-controlled diaphragm valve is wired to the ON/OFF switch andopens when the machine is turned ON, allo...

At least 45 inches (114 cm) of space should be allowed on each end of the membrane element housings forremoval and loading of m...

Page 22 - Machine Recovery; The system is now operational.

Once the desired flow rate is achieved [250 psi (17.2 bar) operating pres- sure] no further valve adjustment is needed. The table below shows flow rates at 50%, 66% and 75% recovery for the E4H models. Use this table in adjusting flow rates. NOTE: Permeate flow rates are dependent upon temperature a...

Table 4.4 Dry Chemical Cleaners CLEANING PROCEDURE STEPS 1. With the RO machine running, open the Clean-In-Place (CIP) permeate valve. After thisvalve has been opened, close the permeate service valve. Permeate water will flow intothe CIP tank. Allow the water to run through the CIP tank and the CIP...
