FV2C 2m3/h Gas Recovery

The FV2C is a portable equipment for filtration and recovery of SF6 gas from electrical circuit breakers. The gas is filtered and pumped, from a gas-filled object, to a standard gas cylinder which is connected to the equipment. Evacuation of gas down to 1 mbar.

The equipment consists of two aluminum boxes. A machine box with electrical cabinet, compressor, vacuum pump, controls and measuring instruments as well as an accessory box with SF6 filters, air vacuum pump, connection piece and hoses.

SF6 evacuation
Hose is connected between portable FV2C equipment and gas-filled object via the supplied connector. Evacuation of SF6 takes place using an oil-free compressor and dry vacuum pump down to 1 mbar. Storage of evacuated gas takes place in the customer's gas cylinder with a storage pressure of a maximum of 50 bar.

Air evacuation
Hose intended for air is connected to object via the supplied connection piece. An air vacuum pump with a capacity of 2.6 m³/h is used for evacuation of air from objects, down to a final vacuum of 1 mbar.

SF6 filling
Filling is done most easily with self-pressure from a gas bottle. If pressure equilibrium between object and gas bottle occurs, the FV2C can be used to pump gas from bottle to object. The gas cylinder can then be emptied down to 1 mbar.

Product Description

Equipment FV2C for gas handling and gas recovery of SF6 gas is a manual gas handling equipment.

FV2C is designed with approved and well-tested components for SF6 gas. Leak-free couplings and components in FV2C for gas handling and gas recovery of SF6 are used to prevent emissions of SF6 gas. The machine is delivered tested, leak tested and CE approved with user-friendly manual / documentation for safe handling.

Standard equipment

FV2C gas equipment consists of 2 boxes:

  • Machine box: Compressor, vacuum pump, valves, manometers, vacuum instruments and control cabinet.
  • Accessory box: Hoses, vacuum pump for air, chemical filter and connector etc.

Oil-free compressor and dry running vacuum pump

Oil-free compressor and dry vacuum pump are used to pump SF6 gas. Compressor with capacity of 1.2 m³/h and maximum pressure of 50 bar. If the maximum pressure is reached, the machine is switched off automatically. Dry running vacuum pump with capacity of 3 m³/h and 0.15 mbar final vacuum.

Operating panel

Panel with flow chart and easily accessible push buttons, controls and measuring instruments. Manometers for input and output pressure and inlet pressure compressor. Vacuum instrument showing vacuum value / pressure when running with vacuum pump.

SF6-filter

Particulate and chemical filtration filters to purify used SF6 gas. Interchangeable filter cartridges that filters particles down to 1 micron. Purifies the gas from moisture and chemical residues which are absorbed by chemicals in the filter cartridge.

Air vacuum pump

Oil lubricated vacuum pump for evacuation of air. Capacity of 2.6 m³/h and 0.005 mbar final vacuum. Used after service when switches are air-filled and must be evacuated before re-filled with SF6 gas.

Connection piece

Connection piece for connection to electrical equipment. In standard version with ABB/ASEA connection. Connection for extra pressure gauge. Connection for external gas bottle, which allows the connector to be used for re-filling of gas.

Connections/hoses

Supplied with complete SF6 hose kit, DN8 couplings, to connect the equipment: Coupling piece - filter - machine box-gas bottle. Air hose, DN8 quick coupling, for connection between coupling piece - air vacuum pump. All hoses are re-inforced with stainless steel wire braid with PTFE inner hose.

Storage

FV2C is supplied in two aluminum boxes intended for industrial use to protect the equipment. Carrying handles are mounted for smooth transport. The boxes have dimensions (LxWxH) 800x600x410 mm.

Option

  • SF6 adapter kit - Adaptation of filling equipment with standard connections for switchgear and breakers (DN6, DN7, DN8, DN20, Hansen, Magrini, Malmkvist (Malmquist), Westinghouse etc.)
  • Material selection – Most components / fittings are available in several materials (eg stainless steel, brass, aluminum).
  • Gaskets and sealing materials – Selected with accuracy based on requirement specification.
  • Measuring equipment – Measuring instruments and connections for fixed installation / external connection (density monitor SF6, vacuum instrument, pressure gauge vacuum, pressure gauge high pressure, couplings for measuring equipment etc.)
  • Gas regulator – Gas regulators adapted according to gas type, pressure and flow with connection to gas cylinder. (N2 regulator, high flow regulators, regulators for alternative gas, gas cylinder connection according to American, English, Chinese standards.)
  • Hoses - Large range of hose sizes and hose types. Special hoses according to customer requirements (dimension, length, pressure, protective casing, reinforcement, coupling type etc.).
  • Filter type - Different types of gas filters to filtrate gas from particles, moisture and residual products. Size is adjusted according to need and flow rate (particle filter, SF6 filter etc.).
