Wilkerson L00 - Manual

WARNING
For information on materials harmful to plastic bowls, contact a Mobay Chemical or
General Electric office for information regarding materials that will
attack polycarbonate plastic.
CAUTION
Certain compressor oils, chemicals, household cleaners, solvents, paints and
fumes will attack plastic bowls and can cause bowl failure. Do not use near
these materials. When bowl becomes dirty replace bowl or wipe only with clean,
dry cloth. Reinstall bowl or buy and install a new bowl. Immediately replace any
crazed, cracked, damaged or deteriorated plastic bowls.
EXCEPT as otherwise specified by the manufacturer, this product is specifi-
cally designed for compressed air service, and use with any other fluid (liquid
or gas) is a misapplication. For example, use with or injection of certain haz-
ardous liquids or gases in the system (such as alcohol or liquid petroleum
gas) could be harmful to the unit or result in a combustible condition or haz-
ardous external leakage. Manufacturer's warranties are void in the event of
misapplication, and manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any resulting
loss. Before using with fluids other than air, or for nonindustrial applications,
or for life support systems consult manufacturer for written approval.
INSTALLATION
1.Refer to above warning.
2.Install as close as possible to the equipment requiring lubrication.
3.Install the unit with the air flowing through the body in the direction
indicated by the arrow.
4.Install a unit with the same pipe-size as the pipeline in use. Avoid
using fittings, couplings, etc., that restrict airflow.
5.The lubricator cannot be filled under pressure. Turn off air pressure,
remove and fill bowl. DO NOT turn the air on until the bowl is firmly in
position.
6.Use only clean, nondetergent oil, SAE 10, or lighter is usually best.
7.The rate of oil delivery may be controlled by turning the adjusting
screw counterclockwise for more and clockwise for less oil delivery.
This lubricator delivers all the oil downstream which passes through
the sight dome. The oil delivery rate will change automatically to deliv-
er more oil during higher airflows and less oil for airflows lower than
that at which the original setting was made.
8.Maximum pressure and operating temperature ratings are: 150 psig
(10,3 bar) and 125°F (52°C); metal bowls, 200 psig (14 bar) and
175°F(79,4°C).
9.Install unit in a vertical position.
MAINTENANCE
1.Given clean operating conditions, this unit will be trouble-free.
Contaminants from dirty oil may collect on the siphon tube inlet filter,
requiring the filter to be cleaned by tapping on a hard surface and
blowing off with an air blow gun.
2.IF THE OIL DELIVERY RATE DROPS, the lubricator should be
cleaned. Shut off the air supply and reduce the pressure in the unit to
zero. Remove the FLOW-GUIDE® orifice screw and clean its
air passage with a small wire. Check the bore that the screw fits into
for contaminant and clean if necessary. Be sure that the passageway
from the sight dome cavity into the FLOW-GUIDE® variable orifice
post is open. Remove the adjusting screw and clean the needle and
seat in the body. Remove and clean the valve seat and the valve
bracket.
3.Drain off any contaminants which collect in the bottom of the bowl.
4.When transparent plastic bowl becomes dirty replace bowl or wipe
only with a dry clean cloth. If plastic bowl shows signs of crazing,
cracking, damage, or other deterioration immediately replace with a
metal bowl or a new plastic bowl and metal bowl guard.
