AquaBlock 2 - Operation
START-UP
Air Supply
1. Turn on the air supply to the AquaBlock 2
cabinet and adjust the air pressure to between
85 and 95 psi (90 psi nominal) at the inlet to the
cabinet.
Purging the Paint Supply Inlet and
Outlet
OPERATION
19
† Fluid pressure (both paint and water
supplies) at the paint inlet must not exceed
100 psi.
NOTE
1. Connect the paint inlet line to a supply of
flushing solvent. Disconnect the outlet paint line
after the exit of the cabinet and turn on the water
solvent mixture supply. Collect the water/solvent
mixture in a grounded container for approximately
sixty seconds to make sure any contaminates in
the system are flushed out. Turn off the water/
solvent mixture supply and reconnect the paint
line. Turn on the water/solvent mixture supply
and open the trigger valve(s) to the applicator(s).
Allow water/solvent mixture to flow through the
AquaBlock 2 for 3-4 cycles of the 4-way Shuttle
Assembly and turn off the trigger valve(s).
† The paint supply pressure to the
AquaBlock 2 must be above 20 psi to
establish proper flow through the system
and less than 100 psi to prevent leakage
or damage. The supply pressure should
be minimized to a suitable pressure to
achieve required flow.
NOTE
2. Check for leaks around all connections, inside
and outside the system.
3. Turn the water/solvent mixture supply off and
relieve the system of pressure. Disconnect the
paint line from the water/solvent mixture supply
and connect the paint supply line to the system.
Charging the System With Paint
1. Turn the paint supply on to the system and open
the trigger valve(s) to the applicator(s). Allow the
paint to flow through the AquaBlock for 3-4 cycles
of the 4-way Shuttle Assembly and turn off the
trigger valve(s). Adjust the paint supply pressure
to the system to between 20 and 100 psi.
2. The system is now ready for operation and high
voltage may be turned on at the power supply.
† The system may be flushed out with a
blend of water and solvent (Butyl Cellosolve
or Butyl Carbitol). Check with your coating
supplier for recommended cleaning mixtures.
DO NOT use tap water. Deionized water is
acceptable.
