1.0.M. Instructions ~ @cameron Heer INSTALLATION Drying of Coolers (On compressors used in nitrogen and dry air service the following is recommended prior to ‘commissioning of machine. 4, Remove drain plug(s) from bottom of cooler shell and shell cover assembly, if applicable. See cooler assembly drawing, in this section, for drain locations. 2. With drain plugs removed, purge machine with dry air for a minimum of 24 hours. 3. Remove purge from compressor and replace drain plugs. Bundle Removal Clearance must be provided at the water nozzle end of the cooler to remove the tube bundle. Refer to the Compressor Installation Arrangement drawing for clearance dimensions. Water Piping Ifthe cooler water manifold is not provided by Cameron, refer to the Water Schematic drawing for recommendations and definition of Cameron’s scope of supply. Control valves should be provided on the discharge line of each cooler. The manifold should include ‘couplings for temperature and pressure gauges on both inlet and discharge lines close to the heat exchanger. Drain piping should be isolated for each cooler and not piped to a closed manifold system. Before connecting piping, inspect all openings of the coolers and piping for contaminants. CAUTION Piping should be suitably supported so that forces are not directly applied to the heat exchanger. Condensate Removal Condensate will accumulate during normal operation of some heat exchangers. Refer to the Condensate Flow Schematic drawing for recommendations and definition of Cameron's scope of supply. CAUTION Condensate piping should drain to an open sump and never piped to a closed manifold system. € CAMERON Heat Exchanger 1.0.M. Instructions a OPERATION Start-Up 1. Check water piping system for cizanliness to prevent blockage of tubes. 2, Loosen water side vent plugs be‘ore admitting water to the cooler. 3. Check all flange bolting for tightness. 4. Start flow of water, gradually at frst. When the system is completely filled and all air vented, tighten vent plugs. WARNING, Never operate the heat exchanger at pressures, temperatures or flows in excess of those specified on the nameplate. ‘Shut-Down Caution must be taken to avoid subjectiig the heat exchanger or the compressor to thermal shock. Excessive temperature could impose stresses resulting in catastrophic damage to the heat exchanger and/or the compressor. WARNING. Never stop water flov to the heat exchanger before NS shutting down the compressor. Winter Protection During Shut-Down Ifit becomes necessary to shut-down ths compressor in a location subject to freezing conditions the following procedure must be implemented to prevent coil damage. Thoroughly drain water by removing vent and drain plug from supply channel, 2. Replace drain plug, 3. Add two gallons (minimum) of antifreeze solution through vent in supply channel 4. Replace vent plugs. Performance When performance does not meet spec:fied requirements check the following: 1. Fouled tubes caused by sludge cr scale. 2. Incorrect piping connections. Refer to the Installation Arrangement and Water Flow Schematic drawings. 1.0.M. Instructions . @ cameron Heat Exchanger 3. Airlocks caused by improper venting, 4, Operating at conditions other than design; refer to the Heater Exchanger Specifications. 5. By-passing of either air or water. Check partition gaskets and seal strips. MAINTENANCE WARNING Do not attempt to loosen any bolting unti all pressures have been relieved and fluids drained Cleaning A regular inspection program is important to determine frequency of cleaning. A reduction in performance and/or a marked increase of pressure drop usually indicates that cleaning is required NOTE Cameron's heat exchangers are designed to be mechanically cleaned without removing the bundle from the shell. ‘Water Side. Interior surfaces of the tubes can be cleaned by back-flushing to remove sludge and other soft deposits. A rotary brush with brass or nylon bristles will be more effective. if more severe fouling exists, contact a Cameron Compression Systems Representative. Gas Side. The extended surfaces (aluminum fins) should only be cleaned with detergent and high pressure steam, CAUTION If all tubes are not clean, flow may be partially blocked in some tubes causing overheating or cooling. This condition could develop severe stresses that can loosen tubs joints and fracture tubes. Special Draining Instructions for High Pressure Heat Exchanger (Design Pressure 2 160 PSIG) When fluid is added to the gas side of a fully assembled high pressure heat exchanger ‘some of the fluid will be trapped between the shell cover and retum channel. Itis necessary to remove the vent and drain plugs located on the shell cover to insure thorough draining. (See Heat Exchanger Assembly drawings for vent and drain locations.) € CAMERON Heat Exchanger 1.0.M. Instructions ~~ Bundle Removal 1. Remove lantemn-ring (or shell cover) and O-ring from retumn water header O.D. 2. Remove return water header. 3. Remove supply water header. 4, Inspect for inoperative roller guices ~ replace if required. 5. __ Insert eyebolt in tapped hole provided on top of front tube sheet. 6. Supporting bundle from eyebott, begin sliding bundle out of shell WARNING. at Do not completely remove bundle from shell. Do ee not rest bundle on lower bypass seal. 7. After sufficient bundle is exposed, support and lift bundle with a nylon mesh sling as its center of gravity. WARNING Protect bottom bypass seal (silicone) with 4x4 timbers on both sides. NS 8. Complete removal from shell Handling of Tube Bundles Do not grasp bundles with hooks or other sharp tools which may damage the tubes or fins. Nylon mesh slings or straps are suitable for lifting the bundles in a horizontal position. Always take care to protect the lower bypass seal with 4x4’s in the area of the sling. ‘The bundles should not be dragged anc should only be moved about on cradles or skids. Reassembly w 1. Inspect upper and lower bypass seals for possible damage. If replacement is required, refer to Cameron Engineering Specification IL-2401 2. Spray top sheet of bundle and shell channel with silicone spray. CAUTION Failure to comply could destroy the bypass seals. 3. Position front tube sheet gasket on mating flange. Hold with tape or glue. 4, Remove top row of studs in rear tube sheet to prevent possible damage to upper bypass seal. + we 1.0.M. Instructions. SN @ CAMERON Heat Exchanger 10.
