Gas generator for Betaset process "GA 10 CEP/B"

GAS GENERATOR TYPE “GA 10/CEP/B”

The gas generator is engineered for efficient methylformate dosing during the core gassing process. It is structured within three separate housing control stations to enhance safety and operational effectiveness.

Key Components:

1. Control Panel and Electric Components:

   • Houses the Siemens S7 PLC for robust control.
   • Equipped with an operator interface featuring self-diagnostic fault-finding capabilities.
   • Contains all necessary starters and controls to operate the gas generator.

2. Pneumatic System and Dosing Pump:

   • Volumetric Dosing Pump:
     • Completely sealed and magnetically driven, powered by an ADPE electric motor.
     • Equipped with a special device that monitors the real-time quantity of methylformate dosed into the core during the gassing cycle.
   • Main Filter:
     • Features a double valve on both the inlet and outlet of methylformate to prevent foreign contaminants from entering the dosing pump.

3. High-Performance Electric Heater:

   • Designed for methylformate vaporization and heating of purge air.
   • Adjustable set-point with a maximum working temperature of 130°C.
   • Utilizes new microprocessor controllers with P.I.D. (Proportional + Integral + Derivative) functions for precise work and safety temperature controls.

Operational Features:

• Working Pressure Control:

  • Integrated system for maintaining low pressure during the gassing phase and higher pressure during the purge phase.
  • Both pressure levels are adjustable through separate controls until the core is fully cured.

• Compressed Air Requirements:

  • Connection: 1" gas line with a minimum pressure of 6 bar.

• Utilization:

  • Multipolar electric connector for easy integration with coreshooters or gassing chambers.
  • Manual control options are available through start/stop pushbuttons.

• Air Extraction:

  • A 90 mm diameter connection for air extraction must be linked to an existing suction system to evacuate methylformate vapors and regulate temperature within the gas generator cabinet.
  • Minimum extraction capacity required: 300 Ncm/h.
