GAS CHLORINATOR SERIES CLM - 1

C L M - 1 P R O D U C T D ATA

GENERAL DESCRIPTIONThe SUPERIOR® Series CLM-1 Gas Chlorinator is a state-of-the-art, vacuum-operated,solution feed type which mounts directly on a chlorine cylinder valve. The chlorinator ismounted onto the chlorine cylinder valve using a very heavy-duty, positive yoke clamp
connection. A chlorine gas flow meter, mounted directly onto the vacuum regulator, indicatesthe amount of chlorine being fed. Chlorine flow rate is manually adjusted and the designpermits easy addition of a number of automatic flow rate control devices. A high efficiency,
water operated ejector produces the vacuum necessary to operate the system. The ejector
assembly contains a unique back-flow check valve system to prevent pressurized waterfrom entering the chlorinator. A spring-opposed diaphragm vacuum regulator controls thechlorine gas flow rate and also acts as the safety shut-off valve.

CLM-1 TYPICAL INSTALLATIONC L M - 1 P R O D U C T D ATAFEATURESThe SUPERIOR™ Series CLM-1 represents the most modern design technology coupled with the very best materials available to create anoutstanding, user friendly piece of equipment. It is designed with user safety as a primary concern.
1. A new ultra-thick, fluoroplastic yoke coating gives SUPERIOR™ corrosion resistance, won’t crack, peel or chip. Chlorine will not diffuse
through it to cause coating bubbling and peeling.
2. All molded parts are fiber-glass reinforced ABS plastic, designed for SUPERIOR™ strength, warp- resistance and chlorine resistance.
3. The rate valve “Seat” is pure fluoroplastic and will not swell, stick or become brittle with age or exposure to liquid chlorine.
4. All external bolts and nuts are Titanium for complete corrosion resistance..a SUPERIOR™ exclusive. There are no stainless steel or monelnuts and bolts to corrode and freeze up in the presence of moist chlorine gas.
5. Extra heavy-duty outlet threads on the ejector diffuser prevents accidental breakage from over-tightening or “bumping” of the ejector
assembly.
6. The “Universal” ejector diffuser allows use of high pressure solution hose, direct ejector mounting in mains, or in-line piping with rigidsolution pipe.
7. Easier to service and perform routine maintenance, with standard size wrench lugs provided on all screwed-together ejector parts. No
more pipe wrenches to accidentally tear and scrape plastic surfaces.
8. All vacuum fitting holes are heavily reinforced to prevent the possibility of cracking from over-tightening fittings.
9. “Dual-pressure” check valve is standard on all SUPERIOR™ gas Chlorinators. Proven high back-pressure unitized check valve design
protects against sudden surges up to 300 PSIG while a spring-loaded diaphragm check provides positive shutoff even when there is noback-pressure to force the seat closed.
10. PVDF vacuum tubing fittings are standard..another SUPERIOR™exclusive. “User friendly” design makes it easy to attach tubing and totighten or loosen ferrule nuts without tools.
11. Fewer parts, combined with superior materials and a superior design gives you a SUPERIOR™ Gas Chlorinator.

CLM-1 FLOW DIAGRAMFLOW METER CAPACITIESC L M - 1 P R O D U C T D ATA

Variable area flow metering tubes are available with dual English/Metric scale maximum capacities of 0.8, 1.5, 4, 10, 25, 50 and 100
pounds per 24 hours of chlorine gas, as well as 15, 30, 75, 200, 500, 1000 and 2000 grams per hour, respectively. All metering tubes
are interchangeable and may be changed in the field without special tools.

MODULAR DESIGNSUPERIOR™ Gas Chlorinators have been designed to give maximum flexibility in system installation. The vacuum regulator andmetering tube panel are close coupled and mounted onto the chlorine cylinder valve as a single assembly. The ejector can be locatedwherever plumbing and/or hydraulic conditions make it most desirable. Modular design also makes it easy and inexpensive to expand
or upgrade the system. The metering tube panel may be detached from the vacuum regulator at any time, in just a few minutes, iffuture requirements or safety dictate a remote metering application, or multiple point chlorination is desired.

MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION
One of SUPERIOR™’s major competitive advantages is the use of the finest, strongest and most durable materials available. Extensive
use of Fluoroplastics and fiberglass reinforced thermoplastics allow SUPERIOR™ Gas Chlorinators to withstand attack by chlorine inany form and to give the longest operational life. Many parts are guaranteed for the life of the equipment against chlorine damage.

SYSTEM OPERATION
The vacuum regulator is securely clamped onto the chlorine cylinder valve. Water under pressure flows through the ejector athigh velocity which causes a strong vacuum to be created. This opens the check valves in the ejector assembly and transmits avacuum signal through the meter tube/rate valve panel back to the vacuum regulator. When the vacuum reaches a pre-set level,
the diaphragm in the regulator moves to open the chlorine inlet safety valve, permitting gas to flow from the chlorine cylinder. The
spring-opposed diaphragm and inlet valve regulate the vacuum at this point.
Chlorine gas passes through the flow meter panel and rate control valve to the ejector. The gas mixes with the ejector water and isdischarged through the diffuser into the water being treated.

SPECIFICATIONS
The chlorinator shall be SUPERIOR™ MODEL CLM-1
manufactured by Chemical Injection Technologies, Inc., Ft. Pierce,Florida, and shall have a maximum capacity of _______ pounds
per day (gr/hr)of chlorine feed and shall be equipped with achlorine flow meter of _______ pounds per day (gr/hr).
The chlorinator shall consist of a close-coupled vacuum
regulator/flow meter, and ejector/check valve. Each of theseassemblies shall be capable of being individually locatedwherever safety and/or operator convenience dictates. The
vacuum regulator/flow meter assembly shall be capable of being
separated into independant vacuum regulator and meteringpanel assemblies at any time for remote metering or multiple
point applications.

C L M - 1 P R O D U C T D ATA

The vacuum regulator/flow meter assembly shall mount directlyon the cylinder valve by means of a positive yoke type clamp
having an integral tightening screw with slide bar handle. No
wrenches or other tools shall be required to mount or dismountthe vacuum regulator from the cylinder. The cylinder valve/chlorinator inlet adaptor shall be constructed of corrosionproof fluoroplastic material which shall be inert to the effects
of wet, dry or liquid chlorine. The inlet safety shut-off/vacuum
regulating valve shall be of capsulated design, easily removableas a unit from the outlet side of the yoke. A fluoroplastic filter
shall be installed in the vacuum regulator inlet and shall becapable of removing impurities greater than 25 microns. A
pressure relief valve shall be incorporated into the vacuum
regulator to prevent pressure from building up in the system. All
external screws and nuts shall be made of Titanium to prevent
corrosion.
The vacuum regulator/flow meter bodies shall be constructed offiberglass reinforced thermoplastic material and shall incorporate
a flow rate control valve made of fluoroplastic material which isinert to the corrosive effects of chlorine. The rate valve metering
