Chlorine manifolds

Chlorine manifolds consist in their simplest form of a cylinder or barrel auxiliary valve and a flexible tubing for direct connection to the chlorine unit.

In the case of large-scale plants they comprise a number or auxiliary valves with flexible lines ending in a rigid manifold. This can be used for supplying a large quantity of chlorine.

The minimum number of chlorine containers to be connected up to one manifold depends on the
amount of chlorine to be continuously supplied, which should not exceed 1% per hour of the total
capacity in the chorine containers.

Example
Size of chlorine cylinder provided:
65 kg, of which 1% = 0.65 kg
Number of cylinders:
3.2 kg / 0.65 kg = 5 chlorine cylinders

At least 5 chlorine cylinders per set are thus required, for simultaneous gas supply. With a 10
hour operating period, 10 x 3.2 = 32 kg / day will be consumed. The chlorine cylinders last for about 10
days.

When orders are placed the screw connecting size for the barrel or cylinder must be specified by all
means.
