Operation

To replace the filter element(s), on single ele- ment tanks, insert the element and make sure it fits onto the outlet connection. Install spring plate, and bolt the cover assembly in place. On units equipped with dual element tanks, insert inner element and make sure it fits onto the out- let connection. Put the centering piece on the outer element and slide into tank making sure the center piece fits into the inner element. Put spring plate on outer element and bolt the cover assembly in place.

2.Filter Removal and installation, all VSR Units.

Release the pressure in the oil filter housing by opening the bleed valves at the stop valve in the block and bleed assembly, or at the bleed valve for the oil filter housing. Be sure to follow all Lo- cal, State and Federal ordinances regarding the recovery of refrigerants.

Drain the filter bowl or housing in to an appro- priate container and dispose of the oil in a ap- propriate manner following all Local, State and Federal ordinances regarding the disposal of used refrigeration oil.

Loosen and remove the locking ring on filter tank by turning in a counter clockwise direc- tion. Remove filter tank with the used element.

Remove the filter element from the tank. Be- fore reassembling, thoroughly clean the tank to lengthen the life span of the filter element.

Wet the threads and O-ring on the head and the O-ring in the new element with clean re- frigeration oil.

CAUTION

Do not use a pipe wrench, hammer or any other tool to tighten the locking ring.

nsert new element into the filter tank with the open end visible. Attach tank to head and HAND TIGHTEN the locking ring.

The filter housing can be evacuated and then slowly pressurized to check for leaks before returning to service.

3.Filter Removal, VSS and VSM Units (after 5/1/00) when using Vilter Part Numbers 3111A (16” Simplex), or 3112A (39” Simplex) oil filter housings.

Release the pressure in the oil filter housing by opening the bleed valves at the stop valve in the block and bleed assembly, or at the bleed valve for the oil filter housing. Be sure to follow all Local, State and Federal ordinances regard- ing the recovery of refrigerants.

Drain the filter bowl or housing in to an ap- propriate container and dispose of the oil in a appropriate manner following all Local, State and Federal ordinances regarding the disposal of used refrigeration oil.

Loosen and remove the cover on the bowl of the filter tank by turning it in a counter clock- wise direction. Remove the used element.

VSS, VSM, VSR specifications

Emerson VSM, VSR, and VSS are advanced technologies designed for process automation and control, often utilized in industrial applications. These systems are part of Emerson's broader portfolio of solutions aimed at enhancing operational efficiency, safety, and reliability.

The Emerson VSM, or Valve Signature Management, focuses on the digital management of valves within a system. One of its main features includes advanced diagnostics that monitor the health and performance of control valves. This technology allows for predictive maintenance, ensuring that valves operate at peak efficiency and reducing the risk of unexpected failures. The VSM utilizes a combination of smart sensors and actuators to gather data, enabling real-time analytics that can enhance decision-making and operational strategies.

On the other hand, VSR, or Valve Status Reporting, enhances visibility into the operational state of valves in real time. This system provides operators with critical updates and alerts related to valve conditions, significantly reducing response times to potential issues. The VSR technology integrates seamlessly with existing control systems, allowing for easier implementation and minimal disruption to ongoing operations. The reporting capabilities feature user-friendly dashboards that present complex data in a straightforward manner, empowering operators to make informed decisions quickly.

The Emerson VSS, or Valve Service Solutions, complements the VSM and VSR by focusing on the maintenance and support of valve systems. This offering includes comprehensive service packages that range from routine maintenance to advanced troubleshooting and repair. The VSS is designed to improve the lifespan of valves through proactive service, ensuring reliability and minimal downtime. Emerson’s trained technicians leverage predictive analytics derived from VSM and VSR data, allowing for timely intervention before issues escalate.

In summary, Emerson’s VSM, VSR, and VSS technologies work together to create a robust ecosystem for valve management in industrial settings. The combination of advanced diagnostics, real-time reporting, and comprehensive service solutions provides operators with a powerful toolkit aimed at optimizing performance and ensuring operational reliability. With these technologies, companies can embrace digital transformation, reduce operational risks, and improve overall process efficiency, leading to a safer and more productive environment. Each component plays a crucial role in empowering industries to meet the challenges of modern automation and maintain competitive advantages in their respective markets.
