Section 6 – Installation

Recreational Vehicle Generators

‹6.5.2 PARTS NOT INCLUDED IN FUEL SYSTEM

The propane fuel system does NOT include such items as (a) gas tank, (b) gas piping, (c) fittings, (d) valves, and (e) primary regulator, used to store the gaseous fuel and deliver it to the gaseous fuel sole- noid (Figure 6.11).

DANGER

Use only approved components in the fuel sup- ply system. All components must be properly installed in accordance with applicable codes. Improper installation or use of unauthorized components may result in fire or an explosion. Follow approved methods to test the system for leaks. No leakage is permitted. Do not allow fuel vapors to enter the vehicle interior.

Figure 6.11 – Typical Propane Gas Fuel System

•Use a length of approved flexible fuel hose between the gaseous fuel solenoid valve and rigid gas pip- ing. The flexible line should be at least 6 inches longer than necessary.

‹6.5.4 VAPOR WITHDRAWAL

LP gas is stored in pressure tanks as a liquid. The gas systems used with these generators were designed only for vapor withdrawal type systems. Vapor with- drawal systems use the gas vapors that form above the liquid fuel in the tank. Do NOT attempt to use the generator with any liquid withdrawal type system.

‹6.5.5 PRIMARY REGULATOR

Gas pressure delivered to the solenoid valve must be properly regulated by means of a primary gas regu- lator. Mount the primary regulator at the gas tank outlet or in the supply line from the gas tank. The following rules apply:

‹6.5.3 SOME IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

When installing an LP gas system, consider seriously the following items:

•All fittings, lines, hoses and clamps must be tight and free of leaks. Apply a pipe sealant to threads when assembling threaded connections. This reduces the possibility of leakage.

•Test the entire fuel system for leaks using approved test methods.

•Optimum gas pressure at the inlet to the gaseous fuel solenoid valve and secondary regulator is 11 inches water column.

•The installer’s fuel supply connection point is at the gaseous fuel solenoid valve. This is a 3/4-inch (female) connection. Provide a suitable 3/4-inch NPT (male) connector to attach to the fuel supply line.

•For best results, the primary regulator supplies gaseous fuel to the secondary regulator at 11 inch- es water column. Do NOT exceed 14 inches water column.

•The installer must be sure the primary regulator is rated at sufficient gas flow to operate the generator plus all other gas appliances in the circuit.

NOTE:

Recommended MINIMUM gas flow rate for all air- cooled PRIMEPACT series generators is 67 cubic feet per hour.

If an existing primary gas regulator does not have a sufficient flow capacity for the generator and other gas appliances in the circuit, (a) install a primary regulator with adequate flow rate, or (b) install a separate regulator only and rated at least 67 cubic feet per hour. The inlet side of any pri- mary regulator that supplies the generator must connect directly to a gas pressure tank. Do NOT tee the generator line into a gas circuit feeding other areas.

‹6.5.6 GASEOUS CARBURETION

LP gas vapors should be supplied to the secondary regulator inlet at about 11 inches water column (posi- tive pressure). The engine pistons draw air in dur- ing the intake stroke (Figure 6.12). This air passes through a carburetor venturi, which creates a low pressure that is proportional to the quantity of air being pumped. The low pressure from the carburetor venturi acts on the regulator diaphragm to pull the diaphragm toward the source of low pressure. A lever attached to the diaphragm opens a valve to permit gas glow through the carburetor.

004702-0, 004703-0, 004704-0, 004705-0, 004706-0, 004707-0 specifications

Guardian Technologies has established itself as a prominent leader in the realm of air purification with its innovative product line, specifically the models 004702-0, 004703-0, 004704-0, 004705-0, 004706-0, and 004707-0. Each model combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features to ensure a cleaner and healthier indoor environment.

One of the standout features across these models is the use of True HEPA filtration. This technology efficiently captures 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke. This is essential for individuals with allergies or respiratory issues, providing peace of mind through cleaner air.

In addition to the HEPA filters, Guardian Technologies incorporates activated carbon filters in these models. This feature helps reduce unwanted odors from pets, cooking, and household chemicals, making the air in your home more pleasant. The combination of HEPA and activated carbon makes these models effective for comprehensive air purification.

These models also integrate smart technology, offering user-friendly controls that simplify operation. Many units are equipped with filter change indicators, ensuring users are alerted when it’s time to replace the filters. This promotes optimal air quality and prolongs the efficiency of the machines.

The Guardian Technologies models have a compact and modern design, allowing them to fit seamlessly into any home or office decor. Their lightweight design facilitates easy mobility, enabling users to place them in various locations as needed.

Energy efficiency is another significant characteristic featured in these air purifiers. Many of the models are ENERGY STAR certified, which means they meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This not only helps reduce electricity costs but also makes these purifiers an environmentally friendly choice.

Noise levels are kept to a minimum with these units, ensuring they operate quietly without disrupting daily activities such as work, sleep, or family time. This is particularly important in shared living spaces, where background noise can be a concern.

Overall, Guardian Technologies presents an impressive lineup of air purifiers through models 004702-0, 004703-0, 004704-0, 004705-0, 004706-0, and 004707-0. Their combination of advanced filtration, smart technology, energy efficiency, and stylish design positions them as excellent options for anyone looking to improve their indoor air quality. Whether in a home or office, these models contribute significantly to a healthier living environment, making them a worthy investment for consumers seeking enhanced air purification solutions.
