TECHNICAL INFORMATION
S10K
INTRODUCTION
The S10k chlorinator is an all vacuum operat-
ed, sonically regulated unit. Direct cylinder
mounting puts the vacuum-regulating valve
right at the source, reducing gas pressure to a
vacuum immediately. It provides for econom-
ic low capacity gas feed applications for
municipal and industrial water and waste-
water treatment and disinfection, swimming
pools and industrial process water. Its ability to
handle all water treatment gases as well as its
flexible mounting configurations for cylinders,
manifolds or ton containers provides versatili-
ty for all installations. Two basic arrangements
are available in capacities of 200 and 500
pounds per day of chlorine gas. With fewer
internal parts, you can be confident that the
S10k will provide reliable, dependable service.
FEATURES
Positive Indication of
Operating Status
standby* operating empty
Easy to read icons provide positive indi-
cation of cylinder status. The operator
can tell at a glance whether the container
is in the standby status (for automatic
switchover) operating, empty or off.
Positive Shutoff
An OFF position on the face of the regu-
lator allows for positive shutoff. Containers
can be changed without admitting air,
dirt or moisture into the control unit and
without shutting off the injector.
SONIC CHLORINATOR
Unique Secondary Check
The 500 PPD regulator includes a
unique secondary check designed to
confine gas under pressure should the
primary valve seat not completely due to
contamination. This minimizes the
possibility of venting gas to atmosphere.
Built-in Automatic Switchover
Built-in switchover eliminates the need
for external switching devices. The non-
isolating feature allows cylinders to be
off
emptied thoroughly, for complete gas
consumption.
Captive Universal Yoke
Mounting
A unique self aligning captive yoke
clamp makes it easy to line up and con-
nect the chlorinator to the gasketed out-
let of a container valve. The rugged
yoke is designed to Chlorine Institute
recommenda-
tion per drawing
189. A similar
captive yoke
design is used for ammonia cylinders. A
ton container kit includes a drip leg, to
trap initial spurts of liquid, a heater for
evaporation and a replaceable filter.
Handles all Water Treatment
Gases
The unit can handle all typical water
treatment gases e.g. chlorine, sulfur
dioxide, carbon dioxide and ammonia.
Detachable Rotameters
Two sizes of rotameters, 3” and 5”, are
available in 15 capacities between 1.2
500 PPD chlorine (comparable capaci-
ties for other gases). These
flowmeters can be integral to
the unit, or mounted remote,
fo rinstallation flexi-
bility. Rotameters
can be ganged
together for multiple
points of
application.

Easy to Install, Operate and
Maintain
The S10k chlorinator is simple in
design, compact and easy to handle.
Injector installation only requires con-
necting to a water supply and running
plastic tubing to a main or open chan-
nel. A knob adjustment on the rotame-
ter changes gas feed rate, which is indi-
cated on a high resolution 3" or 5" scale.
Accuracy
Gas feed is ± 4% of the indicated flow.
Operating Range
Manual 20:1 for any flowmeter.
Automatic 10:1.
Control Modes
Manual control, start-stop or program,
flow proportional, direct residual, com-
pound-loop, multiple rate control and
multiple point operation.
Distance, Supply to the
Control Unit
For flexibility, it is not necessary to install
the vacuum regulating valve close to the
control unit. It can be up to several
hundred feet from the gas control unit,
depending on maximum feed rate, the
diameter of the connecting pipe or tub-
ing and system performance requirements.
Injector Operating Water
Injector operating water must be reason-
ably clean. Injectors are fixed-throat dif-
ferential type. Maximum inlet pressure
TECHNICAL DATA
is 300 psi to a maximum of 100º F; 150
psi to a maximum of 130º F.
Pressure at Application Point
Maximum pressure with hose or poly-
ethylene tubing is 75 psi. High pressure
hose or rigid pipe will allow application
against back pressure of 75 to 160 psi.
A solution pump after the injector will
allow application against higher pressure.
Swimming Pools
For non-residential swimming pool
applications a unique package is available.
AUTOMATIC CONTROL
The S10k can accommodate automatic
feed rate control from simple to com-
plex schemes. The control system con-
sists of an actuator and either SCU
(Signal Conditioning Unit) or PCU
(Process Control Unit).
SCU (see TI 40.100UA)
• Operating Modes: Flow proportional,
manual
• Inputs: 4-20 mA DC (from flow
transmitter)
• Outputs: Control out to actuator; also
4-20 mA output for retransmission of
gas feed rate (actuator position)
• Control Capability: Dosage and flow
scaling PCU (see TI 40.200UA)
• Operating Modes: Direct residual feed
back, compound loop, feed forward,
flow proportional, manual
• Ranges: Setpoints up to 50 mg/l and
center-zero capability for dechlorination

• Control Logic: Proportional and
integral with lag
• Alarms: 4 user-configurable alarms
for 16 different conditions
OPTIONS
Related options include: cylinder valves
and connections; header valves with
manifolding and connections; vent; injec-
tor water and injector outlet lines and
clamps; main connections; solenoid
valves; water line pressure gauge; high
vacuum pressure switch and alarm; gas
mask; chlorine detectors; on line
analysers; two cylinder scales; residual test
kits; injector vacuum gauges; spare parts.
Chlorine Gas Warning
All unattended chlorine gas containers
and chlorination equipment should be
monitored for leaks. Sensitive chlorine
detectors, which respond quickly to
chlorine in the atmosphere, should be
installed at each site.
See Technical Data Sheet TI 50.130UA
for further details.
Carbon Dioxide Warning
Because of the high pressure in carbon
dioxide containers, the vacuum regulat-
ing valve cannot be mounted directly on
the container. A pressure reducing valve
and pressure relief valve must be
installed between the container and the
vacuum regulating valve.
