This cart is ideally suited for servicing smallvolume SF₆ equipment. All processes required forservicing SF₆ equipment can be performed withthis cart.This AGRU-4X has the ability toreduce the vacuum level to below 1 mbar whilst recovering SF₆. This offers 99.9% SF₆ recovery. The equipment is designed for the recovery, temporarystorage, conditioning, and dispensing of SF₆ Gas. The equipment is designed for use in field service ofinsulated metal clad switchgear, bus ducts and individual circuit breakers.The AGRU-4X SF₆ Gas Servicing Cart shall be fully assembled on a two-wheeled heavy-duty handcart,which shall be sufficiently braced to minimize vibration. Handcart will be complete with lifting eye, hosehook and power cable storage.

Funtions:

• Recover, purify and store SF₆ Gas from the switchgear to the storage tank.
• Evacuation:
• Service hoses < 1.33 mbar
• SF₆ Gas cart down <0.67 mbar
• Air and moisture from the switchgear< 0.67 mbar
• Purify SF₆ Gas by recirculating through the filter system:
• (D1) - Dryer Filter - Contains activated alumina to aid in the drying and purification of SF₆ Gas.
• (P1) - Purification Filter - Contains Molecular Sieve 13X to remove arcing by-products.
• (F1) - Particulate Filter - Will filter all particulate matter down to 0.1 micron nominal.
• Pressure regulated recharging of SF₆ Gas to the switchgear from the storage tank.
• Evacuate SF₆ Gas from the cart to an external storage tank for maintenance purposes.

Weight of SF₆: 29 lbs – 13 Kg

Features:

• Mounted of a convenient hand cart with 10” (250mm) pneumatic tires for ease of movement.
• Very easy to operate - only two valves to switchoperating modes.
• High pressure, direct-drive oil-less compressor with 1000:1 compression ratio (capable of1000psi – 69 bar).
• Capable of liquid SF₆ storage (50lbs.@60ºF /22.7 kgs.@15.5 ºC)
• Purifies, dries and filters to 0.1 microns duringrecovery and re-pressurization.
• Filters are easily changed without disconnecting any tubing or using any special tools.
• Auxiliary connection allows for infinitely expandable storage through use of external tanks.
• Comes complete with 9.8ft / 3m hoses and power cable.
• Colour change moisture indicator to monitor moisture in gas.
• Capacity Compressor Flow Rate 1 m³/h.

Applications:

• Recover and purify SF₆.
• Evacuate air and moisture prior to filling.
• Consolidate SF₆ cylinders.
• Store SF₆ in liquid state in onboard storage orauxiliary bottles.
• Regulated filling of SF₆ equipment.
• Purification of SF₆ (removes particles,moisture, and SF₆ decompositionproducts).
