Tandem dosing
Menu item: Method
▶ STAT/ADD/DOS ▶ General/Hardware
If the check box Tandem dosing is activated for the commands STAT,
ADD or DOS, then a second dosing device can be defined in order to enable
continuous dosing. Dosing is carried out with a combination of two dosing
devices so that the second dosing device is dosing while the first one is being
filled and vice-versa.
However, in order to ensure continuous dosing, the following points must
be taken into account:
■
Keeping filling times short
Use the highest possible filling rate in order to keep the filling times as
short as possible. Please note the viscosity and density of the liquid.
■
Filling rate with different cylinders
When you use two dosing devices with different cylinder volumes (dosing
cylinder 2 > dosing cylinder 1), then the minimum filling rate of the larger
cylinder 2 must be:
Filling rate 2
≧ Filling rate 1 • (V
Dosing cylinder 2
/V
Dosing cylinder 1
)
■
Rule for dosing rate
The dosing rate must not exceed 75% of the filling rate of the smaller
cylinder. This corresponds to the following values (at the maximum filling
rate):
