The filling is based on the unique property of carbon dioxide. When
the CO2 extinguishant source is heated to some extent in the
thermal thermostat, it is fed into the cold thermostat via pipes
because of heating and increased pressure. When it is cooled, the
pressure is reduced. The CO2 is filled into the container through
the console by using the high pressure as the motive force to drive
lower pressure.

V. Use of Equipment
A. Re-check the equipment connected to the pipeline and
circuit as required in an all-around way.
B. Put the gas source cylinder (No.2 in Figure 1) into the
water bath in the thermal thermostat and add clear water (not
overflow out of the bath).
C. The sensor of temperature controller (No.3 in Figure 1) is
put into water bath corner perpendicularly without any damage and
the terminal not immersed in the water.
D. The liner of cold thermostat is filled with clear water
(not overflow out of the inlet of the coil pipe and no articles
should be placed in the water tank)
E. The protective wire is firmly linked to the shell of the
equipment.
F. When the equipment is switched on (3 phase four-wire power
supply **0V/**0V) (No.1 in Figure 2), the indicator lamp shines,
showing the equipment is energized.
G. After energization, the temperature controller (No.3 in
Figure 2) is set to the required value. Then the “heating” button
is pressed (No.7 in Figure 2). The water in the water bath is
preheated (Preheating time depends upon environmental temperature
and water temperature).
H. After opening the cylinder valve of heating gas source
(No.4 in Figure 1), filling in the first sequence is
conducted.
I. After turning on the power switch (No.*8 in Figure 1) of
the cold thermostat, the temperature controller (No.*6 in Figure 1)
is set to the required temperature so that the pressure of cold
thermostat will be ≤7Mpa and the temperature in the range of
–5℃to 5℃ (temperature controller
may be regulated). Specific operating procedure for temperature
controller is as follows:
1. Temperature display: (adopting intelligent temperature
controller)
After energization of temperature controller, actual
temperature measurement will be shown.
2. Set of parameters:
(1) Enter the set state: In order to prevent faulty operation
and idler’s play, the 【Set-up】key (No.*6 in Figure 1) must be
pressed thrice continuously to be in the set state.
(2) When the temperature controller (No. *6 in Figure 1) has
entered the setup state, the temperature display value is stored
and the lower set value is shown (“Lower Limit” indicator light
flashes). At this time “plus” key or “Minus” key can be pressed to
change the parameter till the requirement is met. Press again
【Set-up】 key (No. *6 in Figure 1), the lower set value is stored
and the differential temperature is displayed (“Differential
temperature” indicator light flashes). Likewise, press the “plus”
and “Minus” keys to change the parameter (Lower limit value plus
differential temperature makes upper limit).
(3) Withdrawal from the set state: if no key is pressed within
*6 seconds, the temperature controller (No. *6 in Figure 1) will
withdraw from the set state of itself. The set value is stored and
the display window shows the temperature measurement as
before.
Notice A: After revising the parameter, it is necessary to
press once more【Set-up】key (No. *6 in
Figure 1) so that the set value may be confirmed and stored. Other
wise the controller won’t function in terms of new parameter (set
value).
Notice B: If the equipment is turned off without withdrawal
after set-up, the new set value will never be stored.
3. Automatic Operation
(1) The
temperature controller will operate automatically as soon as it is
energized, displaying the cue symbol “A”. The compressor won’t be
started off until a delay time of three minutes has passed. Then
the decimal point in the late-choice nixie tube will blink for
waiting.
(2) Automatic
temperature control: whether the relay that controls the compressor
will respond depends upon the lower limit of temperature and the
differential temperature set to achieve the objective of
controlling the compressor for refrigeration. When refrigeration is
carried out, the “Refrigeration” indicator light will be on.
(3) Withdrawal
from the automatic operating state: only after the power supply is
cut off, can the withdrawal be conducted.
Note: only after a delay time of three minutes can the
compressor be started again. Then the decimal point in the
late-choice nixie tube will blink.
I. After turning on the switch of refrigerating gas source
valve (No.9 or No.*0 in Figure 1), the filling in the second
sequence is conducted.
J. The cylinder to bee filled (No. *4) is mounted on the
fixture and tightened.
K. Measurement set-up of the electronic scale:
The weighing sensor is connected to the indicator. A five-core
and nine-hole socket shall be used for the sensor. The indicator is
energized. Nothing is placed on the stand. The electronic scale
enters the self-inspection state and the instrument catches “
0.**0” automatically. Then desirable weight is set. Specific
operating procedure: Press 【on/off】key (No.8 in Figure 3) in the
weight indicator. Then the instrument will display successively
“***-”, “****-CE”, “UT*3.*3”, “ ******0”, “ ******7”, “*****-”, “
dc×××”. In a while, “ 0.**0” will appear, indicating the automatic
return-to–zero of electronic scale (see to it that before
return-to-zero any key on the instrument should not be pressed to
prevent disorder in the sequence).then press 【Net/Gross/set-up】key
(No.1 in Figure 3) and “ ***-“ will be displayed. Press 【↑↓/peak
Value】key (No.2 in Figure 3) and “ d×××”will be displayed. Then
press 【Net/Gross/Set-up】key (No.1 in Figure 3) and “ t ××××××”
appears. Go on pressing 【Net/Gross/Set-up】 key (No.1 in Figure 3)
and “ e××××××” appears. Continue to press 【Net/Gross/Set-up】 key
(No.1 in Figure 3) and “ n ××××××” appears. Keep on
pressing 【Net/Gross/Set-up】 key (No.1 in Figure 3) and “p
××××××” will appear. When “ L ××××××” appears and the displayed
value is different from the required one, re-entry is necessary.
First of all, press 【↑↓/peak Value】key (No.2 in Figure 3) rapidly
and continuously until the value on the indicator is cleared to “
0.**0”. (Then, “ **9” will be shown automatically in cycle at the
last figure). Just enter the required value in this way. For
example, “Entry of fixed value 3.**3”. When “3” appears at the last
figure, press 【↑↓/peak Value】key quickly (No.2 in Figure 3) for
confirmation. When “5” appears at the last figure, press 【↑↓/peak
Value】key (No.2 in Figure 3) rapidly for confirmation. When “ 3”
appears at the last figure, press【Net/Gross/Set-up】key (No.1 in
Figure 3) quickly. Then the indicator will display “ H ××××××”.
This value is formulated before delivery and no other value needs
entering. (Note: H value must be greater than L value. If not, the
equipment won’t stop automatically when filled to the required
weight. H value should be entered as L value). Finally, press
again【Net/Gross/Set-up】key (Figure *****1) and “ 0.**0” will be
displayed. Then the set-up of weight parameter is completed as the
required value has been put in the indicator. The equipment has a
memory function and no re-setup is necessary for filling
extinguishants of the same weight. The cylinder to be filled is
placed on the stand of electronic scale. Then press【shelling】
key ( Figure 3—6) or【Reset】 key. When the indicator
displays “ 0.**0”, the shelling comes to an end.
L. When you press the “ charge” button (Figure ***2), the
filing in the third sequence can be carried out. When the filling
quantity of extinguishants reaches the set weight, GT solenoid
valve will be closed of itself and the filling comes to an
end.
VI Application of Secondary
Filling
In the filing process of CO2extinguishants, the filing is done
at a higher speed initially because the steel cylinder is full of
extinguishants and the pressure in it rises rapidly with a great
driving force under the action of the thermal thermostat. With the
increase of accumulated filling weight, the dosage in the steel
cylinder is reduced correspondingly. At constant temperature, the
pressure in the cylinder will also fall. As a result, the filling
speed becomes slower and slower. In order to raise work efficiency
and utilization of extinguishant source, a secondary filling may be
used.
When the filling speed becomes slower and the weight of the
filled fire extinguisher shows no more increase, this means the
inadequacy of gas source. Then the valve with lower inlet pressure
should be closed. Another valve with higher inlet pressure should
be opened to supplement the weight of the fire extinguisher. When
the filling reaches the desired weight, the controlling system will
be closed of itself and filling comes to an end.
