3.3 Environnement

One of the basic design component of When replacing certain aerator

aerators is the compatibility of their components, make sure of the proper re-
use in natural environment. The use of cycling and storage of faulty parts, in
non-toxic lubricants prevents any potential compliance with applicable environmental
environmental pollution. protection laws and directives.

ET NNEM4ENT
4 E
4.1 General

Aeroflo aerators are fitted with two-stage impellers, One is used for mixing, the other for gas
diffusion.
The motor had high efficiency standard class F insulation (155°C).

Two separate mechanical seals rotate in an oil sump, les Bearings: designed for heavy-duty use.
Ball bearings are over-sized. The 2-stage is in 316 L stainless steel impeller.

4.2 Main parts

 5. FIRST AERATOR START

5.1 Delivey check

Check for possible damage caused by transport. The cable should be inspected with great care. Avoid
severe shocks to aerator when handling. Such shocks may not only damage the aerator but also the
seals..

Make sure your delivery includes all the items ordered!

5.2 Oil level

Check oil level.

5.3 Power supply

Before connecting aerator to mains, check that voltage and frequency correspond to those indicated on
ID plate.Check if thermostats are properly connected and installed.

5.4 Thermoswitches
As an option, aerators may be fitted with thermostats in motor winding.
If these thermostats are installed, check that they are properly connected.

5.5 Cable Entry

Before starting aerator, ensure cable gland tightness, especially after long-term storage. Do not over-
tighten so as not to damage rubber seal of gland (refer to paragraph 7.4.).

5.6 Motor protection

The aerator motor shall be connected to mains via a circuit-breaker and motor fuses. Fuses shall be
correctly calibrated.
In direct start mode, switch must be connected as indicated on ID plate.
For triangle/star-connected start, it is preferable to install the safety relay immediately after
the main switch. In this case, the motor is also protected for a star connection.
The maximum adjustment for the safety-relay must be 0,6A greater than the intensity indicated on the Id plate.

 Fig 5.1

5.7 Motor check

If you are not sure about the condition of the motor, test the motor winding with an ohmmeter. The
resistance between the latter and the earth wire must be 1 Mega Ohm.

Make sure that the impeller rotates freely when it is touched, in the direction of the arrow.
This procedure allows for unsticking and lubricating the surface of the mechanical seals (Fig. 5.1).

5.8 Installation accessories

Check that all parts needed for your installation have been delivered.

5.9 Direction of rotation

The proper rotating direction of the motor must be checked in the following way:

• Place aerator horizontally (Fig 5.1).

• When powered, the impeller should turn counter-clockwise.

• If required, to obtain the proper direction of rotation, invert two of the three phases of the power supply
cable.

DANGER, RECOIL!

© R&O Dépollution 20/02/2018 ind : E

Page 7
 5.10 Motor load

When starting, check on a phase that the amperage corresponds to that indicated on the Dataplate.
• Place the cable in such a way that it is not damaged by the impeller.

If the amperage is too high, check the following points:

• Voltage (lower voltage?).

• Density and viscosity of process product.

• Impeller jamming.

• Proper rotating direction.

If the problem persists, contact your dealer.

5.11 Medium temperature

When ambient temperature is greater than 40°C, the motor load must be reduced.

The influence of the ambient temperature on the maximum authorised motor load is shown in the table
below.

Température (° C) Max. Charge du moteur (%)

40 100
50 95
60 90
70 80
80 70

If the necessary load is higher than that shown on the ID plate, the diameter of the impeller must
be reduced, or a more powerful motor chosen.

5.12 Number of starts

5 Most of the time, aerators operate non-stop.

6
7
8 A number of more than 6 starts per hour will cause abnormal over-heating of the motor and
cause excessive impeller clogging.

© R&O Dépollution 20/02/2018 ind : E

Page 8
 6. INSTALLATION MODES

The appliances are designed to be suspended.

• The diffuser disk fitted on F315 – F321 – F330 and F340 type appliance, can be used as a support
for aerator, as long as its function is not disturbed by this.
• The aerators have a threaded sleeve for fitting the air intake tube
• The diameter of the tube must correspond to the factory installed sleeve.

Never support the aerator by the air intake tube: use the chain provided for this purpose.

Never restrict air intake without our prior agreement, as this could lead to motor overload.

7. MAINTENANCE

7.1 General

Make sure power is cut off when working on motor.

Wear safety clothing. Aerator may be chemically contaminated. When stopped, motor
housing may be hot.

7.2 Maintenance schedule (see Appendix 1)

It is necessary to check the impeller every six months or 5000 hours of operation.
Make a complete oil change if oil is no longer limpid.

7.3 Lubricants

Motor bearings are permanently self-lubricants and do not require maintenance.

As a standard feature, the oil tank is filled with Total Shell Tellus 32 (0.6l). This lubricant is compatible
with the natural environment, but may also be mixed with mineral oils of a compatible viscosity.

7.4 Cable Entry

When the aerator has been running for a long time, and especially in this case, the inlet cable rubber
seal may not be tight enough.
This may lead to leakage.
Re-tighten gland to correct this problem.
Turn cable inlet hex head (1) clockwise 1/6 of a turn using a suitable wrench (Fig. 7.1.).

7.5 Oil level

It is necessary to check oil level after each inspection of appliance following the below-mentionned
procedure :
• Place the aerator horizontally (Fig. 7.2).
• Unscrew oil level plugs (1) et (2).

• The oil level must reach the lower parts of the orifices.
This can be seen by twisting/overbalancing the Aeroflo a little bit.
Top us if necessary.
• Cheack that the oil is free from any water. If it were to occur, a kinf od « mayonnaise » would
appear. Please call R&O sale service +33 1 72 87 99 71.

• In order to get rid of oil, position a hole down to a container, close the lower cap/plug by having
changed the Dubo gasket, fill in the housing (0.6 liter of oil), close the upper cap/plug by having
changed the Dubo gasket, check the oil level.

Fig 7.3

7.6 Motor moisture control

Open up the inspection cap/plug (Fig 7.3), tilt/bank the Aeroflo, no liquid must come out/seep.
If it happens, call immediately R&O sale service.

 8. TRANSPORT and STORAGE
The Aerator must be shipped and stored vertically.

Never lift aerator by its power supply cable or air intake tube. A hoisting / suspension
chain shall be used for this purpose

The aerator shall be placed in a dry, no-freeze, no-heat area

when storing for an extended amount of time.
Cable head insulation shall be given special care.
Hands turn impeller regularly (every 3 months). (See Fig.8.1)
This procedure frees and lubricates mechanical seal
surfaces.

Fig 8.1
Never store the aerator in the air sight after having immersed it (during the starting
of the station for example). If necessary, clean the aerator and take down the
impeller before storage.

Such a storage would not allow to keep the mechanical guarantees and the covers
given by you dealer.

9.TROUBLES SHOOTING
9.1 Safety

6.
7. Make sure power is cut off when working on motor.
8. Make sure aerator cannot be started unexpectedly when working on hydraulic
systems.
9.

Only a qualified electrician may perform repair

Make sure nobody is near rotating parts when starting.

Comply with local safety practices.

Page 11
 9.2 Troubling shooting (see Appendix 2)

If aerator does not star t or performance does not correspond to its technical characteristics,
check the following causes:

1. Impeller jamming or clogging. 6. Power supply cable cut.

2. Impeller or hydraulic plate worm. 7. Motor burnt out.
3. Inverted direction of rotation. 8. Bad fuse.
4. Air intake tube clogged. 9. Mains failure.
5. Immersion too deep.

If the aerator amperage is too high (the fuse must brake), impeller should be unscrewed and counter
impeller baffles (or hydraulic disk) should be cleaned, as well as the air box.
Abnormal noise may be due to a faulty bearing. Replace if necessary.
If circuit-breaker stops the aerator, this may be due to either impeller jamming or electrical fault.
For overall and/or major repair, it is recommended to send the aerator to our workshops.
Always mention manufacturing number and model number when ordering spare parts.
