SF6 gas recovery unit AGRU-7

SF6 gas recovery unit AGRU-7

We developed the AGRU-7 for our customers, who needed more storage and retrieval capacity than with smaller trolleys, but without the high volume and price of wheeled equipment. The equipment is designed to recover, temporarily store, condition and provide SF6 gas. The equipment is designed for field use in insulated metal-clad switches, bus ducts and individual switches. The AGRU-7 SF6 Gas Handling Equipment is fully assembled on two heavy duty wheels, which are sufficiently reinforced to minimize vibrations. The trolley is completed with an eyebolt, hose with hook and power cable.

Functions:

  • SF6 gas recovery, purification and storage from the breaker to the storage tank
  • Evacuation:
  • Hoses < 1 mbar
  • Handling trolley SF6 < 0.5 mbar
  • Air and humidity of the switch < 0.5 mbar
  • Purification of the SF6 gas is achieved by recirculating it through the filter system:
  • (D1) & (D2)- Dry Filter - Contains activated alumina to aid in the drying and purification of SF6
  • (P1) - Purification Filter - Contains a 5x molecular sieve to remove arches from the product
  • (F1) - Particle Filter - Will filter out all material particles below 0.1µm
  • Recharge pressure of SF6 gas from storage tank to regulated switch
  • Evacuation of SF6 gas from handling equipment to an external storage tank for maintenance purposes

Characteristics:

  • Mounted on a trolley with 16" (400mm) tires for easy movement
  • Very easy to handle - only two valves to change and operate in the different modes
  • High pressure, oil-free, directly controlled compressor with a 1000:1 compression ratio (capable of 1000psi - 69 bar)
  • Capable of storing SF6 liquid gas
  • Purifies, dries and filters down to 0.1 µm during recovery and re-pressurization
  • Easy filter replacement without disconnecting any tubes or using any special tools
  • Auxiliary connections allow storage of infinite amounts of gas using external tanks
  • Includes 9.8ft / 3m hose and power cord
  • Moisture indicator changes color to indicate gas humidity
  • Mounted on a wheeled trolley with storage rack where it can hold up to 3 SF6 cylinders. Storage of 156 kg

Applications:

  • Recover and purify SF6
  • Evacuate air and moisture before refilling
  • Can be used with SF6 cylinders
  • Storage of SF6 in the liquid state in the storage tank or in auxiliary bottles
  • Regulated SF6 filling
  • SF6 purification (removal of particles, moisture and products from SF6 decomposition).

Food

110Vac/60Hz - 220Vac/50Hz - other configurations available (choose when ordering)

SF6 Compressor

Three single-stage, oil-free high pressure compressors with direct drive capable of producing pressures of 70 bar. 0.5kW motor, 3450 rpm. Compressor built in metal with a displacement of 3.3 m3h-1.

Suction pressure regulator

A suction pressure regulator, brass body, 0-2 bar spring

Equalization circuit

An equalisation circuit, allows the compressor to be restarted by high pressure

Check valve

Three check valves, brass, prevent high pressures from returning to the compressor when operating at low equalization pressures

Condenser

A high-efficiency, 4-step, ventilated SF6 condenser assists in the liquefaction of SF6 for high ambient temperatures

Discharge pressure

A discharge pressure switch automatically cuts off when the maximum permissible pressure is reached.

Vacuum pump
