The Micronizer
is designed to be installed in the water line
just prior to the inlet of the hydropneumatic tank it serves.
This mechanism is a venturi that draws air into the water line
through the air inlet / check valve combination to continually
charge the tank with air. The excess air in the tank is relieved
through an AVC assembly installed in the tank. |
|
The Micronizer is shipped with the indicator arrow set at 15 degrees
on the dial. This slightly closes the larger of the two open holes
inside to create a pressure differential that allows air to be drawn
into the water line. The amount of air drawn in and draw time is adjusted
with the adjustment knob. |
|
Do not assume a 30 degree setting means a 30% suction time. |
|
Properly installed and adjusted, the Micronizer will draw air for 30 to 50% of the
pump run time. For example, if the pump run time is one minute, a suction can be
felt at the air inlet hole for 20 to 30 seconds. |
