FEA TURES FEATURES

A Down-To-Earth Price Heres proof that quality doesnt have to be expensive. For low capacity chlorination, you wont find better value than the S2k. Combining the sonic-flow principle with innovative design makes the initial low cost possibleyet keeps USF/ W&Ts time-proven quality and reliability. Cylinder Mounted The S2k Chlorinator is easy to mount directly on the valve of a chlorine cylinder. Direct mounting means all-vacuum operation. There are no lines or components carrying gas under pressure. Manifold Mounting The chlorinator can also be mounted on 5- or 10-cylinder manifolds. Captive-Yoke Mounting A unique, self-aligning captive-yoke clamp makes it easy to line up and connect the chlorinator to the gasketed outlet of a cylinder valve. The heavy-duty yoke resists damage from repeated usage and rough handling. Easy to Install, Operate, and Maintain The S2k Chlorinator is simple in design, having fewer than 50 parts. Its compact and easy to handle and install. Injector installation requires only connection to a water supply and running plastic tubing to a main or open channel. A knob adjustment changes gas feedrate, which is indicated on a 3-inch-scale rotameter. The injector need not be shut off when changing cylinders. Maintenance requires only a wrench and a screwdriver. Wide Range of Feedrates, Dual Scales Dual-scale rotameters, calibrated in pounds per day and grams per hour, come in five capacities between 5 and 100 pounds per day and 100 and 2,000 grams per hour. Single-scale rotameters, calibrated in pounds per day or kilograms per 24 hours, come in two capacities 1.2 pounds per day and 0.5 kilograms per 24 hours. These capacities and a 20:1 operating range let the operator select any desired feedrate. A Mini-Chlorination Center The S2k and a USF/W&T Two-cylinder Scale bring the feed rate adjustment, feed rate indication, and a readout of the available gas supply conveniently together. Design and Construction The S2k Chlorinator is all-vacuum operated. Direct-cylinder mounting puts the vacuum-regulating valve right at the gas source, immediately reducing gas pressure to a vacuum. This valve closes automatically should operating vacuum stop for any reason. When a cylinder is exhausted, a diaphragm in the valve creates a seal. This prevents the entrance of air when cylinders are changed. The vacuum-regulating and gas-control components are in a chemical-resistant ABS housing. Besides the vacuumregulating valve they include: a porous Teflon felt filter at the gas inlet; a pressure-relief valve that vents to a safe

area should pressure in the system increase above atmospheric pressure; an adjustable orifice that controls gas flowrate; and a 3-inch-scale rotameter that measures it. The rotameter is easy to remove and replace. The injector is a fixed-throat type. It is made of PVC/ABS, which resists
Captive-Yoke Mounting

Start-Stop or Program Control These control methods are easily achieved by starting and stopping water flow through the injector, thus operating vacuum. This is done by installing an optional two-way solenoid valve in the injector-water line or an optional vacuum solenoid valve in the gas line. The solenoid valves are wired into the control circuit of a pump, timer, or controller.
OPERA TION OPERATION

corrosion and erosion. In the injector, the check valves elastomeric material and large surface area create a reliable seal against backpressure, helping keep injector water from flooding the chlorinator.

The S2k operates under a vacuum. Produced at the injector, this vacuum is transmitted to the chlorinator by plastic tubing. Gas under pressure enters the chlorinator at the vacuum-regulating valve where it is filtered and reduced to a vacuum. Here, a diaphragm senses atmospheric pressure on one side and a vacuum on the other.

METHODS OF CONTROL

The feedrate is controlled by changing control-orifice area and/or interrupting injector-water supply to shut off operating vacuum. Manual Control Achieved by changing control orifice area via an adjusting knob on the front of the chlorinator.
The dual-scale rotameter can be rotated to display pounds per day or grams per hour.

The S2k Chlorinators simple design makes installation and service easy.

This pressure differential displaces a spring-loaded stem off a seat, permitting gas to enter. The diaphragm also controls a pressure-relief valve, which vents to a safe area if vacuum is lost and pressure builds above atmospheric. Vacuum from the injector creates a critical pressure differential across the metering orifice for gas flow regulation. The pressure differential causes the velocity of the gas in the chlorinator to reach the speed of sound as it moves through the orifice, which is part of the control valve. Gas flowrate is selected by changing orifice size. After the vacuum-regulating valve, gas enters the rotameter where its flow rate is measured. Next is the control valve where flow is regulated according to orifice size. Gas then passes to the injector.
TECHNICAL D ATA DA

At the injector, metered gas is dissolved in the water stream. The resultant solution is discharged at the point of application. A built-in check valve is designed to prevent injector water from flooding the chlorinator on injector shutdown.

Capacities Dual-scale rotameters: lbs/day 5 10 25 50 100 grams/hr 100 200 500 1000 2000

Single-scale rotameters: Available for 1.2 pounds per day (0.5 kilograms per day). Connections The chlorinator is mounted directly on the cylinder valve by a self-aligning yoketype clamp. Gas connections at the chlorinator and injector and the vent connection are 1/4-inch NPT compression fittings for 3/8-inch OD polyethylene tubing. The injector has water inlet and discharge connections for 3/4-inch flexible pipe or 3/4-inch male NPT for rigid pipe.

Accuracy 4% of indicated flow. Operating Range 20:1 Ambient Temperature Limits Chlorinator, 10 to 130F; injector, 32 to 130F. Vent Vent line must exhaust to a safe area where gas fumes cannot cause injury or damage.
