ES250 OVERVIEW

ELECTROSTATICS SPRAYING OVERVIEW

  • In electrostatic spraying, a negative charge is introduced into a fluid in the nozzle body through a central charging elec-trode, which causes the fluid to acquire a negative charge. When this negative charge is applied to the fluid, this causes the fluid molecules to repel each other, following the principle that molecules with opposite charges will attract and molecules with like charges will repel.
  • Electrostatic spraying relies on the repulsion of these like-charged small fluid droplets.
  • After leaving the nozzle orifice, the fluid molecules continue to repel each other as they travel, causing the already small droplets to break up into even smaller droplets. This process will continue until the repulsive force between the molecules is no longer strong enough to break the surface tension and split the droplet again.
  • These tiny and uniformly sized droplets retain their negative charges and will be attracted to any neutral, grounded target nearby with an attractive force stronger than gravity. Electrostatic forces pull the liquid molecules towards this target, thinly and evenly coating the target surface and providing a very high fluid transfer efficiency
  • Some benefits of electrostatic spraying include:
    • Low flow rates that allow for less fluid usage
    • Reduced product and workspace contamination due to overspray
    • Shorter workspace cleanup times
    • Longer intervals between system maintenance
    • More uniform target coatings, typically achieving over 90% transfer efficiency

ELECTROSTATIC SPRAY CONTROL PANEL

  • SPRAY CONTROL PANEL
    • The AutoJet® ES250 Electrostatic Spray Control Panel supplies the required voltage to the electrostatic nozzles via a 30,000 VDC (30 kVDC) negative polarity HVPS. At the control panel, the operator can adjust the applied voltage, pump frequency and start or stop the system modes.
  • GASKET
    • The control panel has a gasket installed which creates a seal between the door and the body of the unit. Exercise caution when opening the unit door as to not damage the gasket. Debris inside the control panel may cause damage to the system.

 MOUNTING THE PANEL AND DOOR DIAGRAM

MOUNTING

  • When selecting a control panel mounting location, consider the high voltage cable routing required and your purchased cable length in relation to the nozzle mounting location. Make sure the control panel is mounted within an acceptable distance to the nozzle, it is easily accessible to system operators, and the grounding lug is connected to a grounded GFCI outlet (Figure 4.1).
  • If mounting the panel to the wall, in a location that is close to your nozzles install wall anchors that are designed to support at least 25 lbs. (11.34 kg) according to the anchor manufacturer’s specifications. The mounting holes are on 6” (152 mm) centers and are made for 1/4” (6 mm) screws with 3/8” (10 mm) diameter screw heads (Figure 4.1-1).

SPRAY CONTROL PANEL DOOR LABELED DIAGRAM
The control panel door uses illuminating pushbuttons to relay system information. The POWER switch will illuminate when system power is on. The RESET and STOP pushbuttons will illuminate related to system operation and fault status (Figure 4.1-2).

AutoJet-ES250-Electrostatic-Chain-Oiler-System- \(2\)

  • The reset pushbutton strobes and follows the run sequence. This means that while the system is lubricating, the pushbutton will strobe in sync with the stroke of the piston pump. When the system stops lubricating but the power remains on, the pushbutton returns to a constant illumination.
  • If a fault is detected, the reset pushbutton will cease illumination and the stop pushbutton will begin to illuminate. The stop pushbutton will pulse in accordance with the number of pulses that have been set for the detected system fault.
    See Section 7.1 Faults and Fault Codes for more information.

CONNECTING THE HIGH VOLTAGE CABLE

  • WARNING: Before installation, ensure that the spray control panel is turned off and power is disconnected.
  • CAUTION: Make sure high voltage cables are properly grounded. Failure to ground may cause a power surge on the system and damage the control board.

FLUID RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY

MOUNTING AND POSITIONING

  • FLUID RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY
  • The fluid reservoir assembly includes pumps, an air pressure regulator with a built in particle filter, and the fluid reser-voir tank.
  • The piston pump powers lubricant delivery from the reservoir to the nozzle. The pressure regulator with built in parti-cle filter provides clean, controlled air pressure to the pump for its operation. The fluid reservoir tank provides a sealed container for the fluid being sprayed. The reservoir tank allows for the direct mounting of the air pressure regulator and pump. The reservoir tank also incorporates a fluid level sensor that can stop system operation via a system fault when fluid levels drop below a safe operating setpoint.

AutoJet-ES250-Electrostatic-Chain-Oiler-System- \(21\)

  • With the fluid reservoir system configuration, the components are mounted directly on the reservoir itself. Your system will ship from the factory with the components already installed on the fluid reservoir.

  • Each electrostatic nozzle is powered by a dedicated pump. You will be able to mount up to four (4) pumps to power up to four (4) nozzles directly to the fluid reservoir tank. If your system configuration includes more than four pumps and nozzles, a Pump Expansion Kit is available that accommodates an additional four pumps.

    • The customer will be responsible for supplying and connecting all liquid and air tubing for the system.

    • Position the fluid reservoir assembly below the level that the nozzles will be mounted at.

    • The fluid reservoir tank must be positioned within 35 ft of the nozzle mounting location.

    • If your configuration does not include the fluid reservoir tank, the air pressure switch and piston pumps are to be mounted in a clean, non-hazardous area below the nozzle mounting level.
      WARNING: Make sure all power is disconnected before making any connections to or from the spray control panel.

    • ATTENTION: Please follow any local, state, or national regulations for clearance requirements and electrical codes.

FLUID RESERVOIR CONNECTIONS

  • FLUID LINES
    The fluid line originates from the fluid reservoir and connects to the pump. The line then runs out to the electrostatic nozzle through 1/4 in. OD push-to- connect fittings.

  • AIR LINES
    The air input connects to the air pressure regulator using 1/4 in. NPT. The regulator connects to the pump through 1/4 in. OD push-to-connect (Tube) fittings.

PUMP SPECIFICATIONS

The electrostatic nozzles are powered by a piston pump that features two air inlets, one fluid inlet, and one fluid outlet. Pump inlets and the outlet use 1/4 in. OD push-to-connect fittings.

  • Pump air pressure limits are between 14.5 – 87 psi.
  • Maximum temperature rating is 180°F.
  • Pumps feature Viton seals for compatibility with a wide variety of fluids.

ADJUSTING THE PUMP
Use the adjustment stem on the bottom of the pump in conjunction with the pump cycle frequency (from the Spray Control Panel) to control the flow rate. The adjustment stem will:

  • Extend out from the bottom of the pump, rotating counter-clockwise until the marker shows 20 at its maximum (do not unscrew further, it may damage the pump).
  • Tighten clockwise until it cannot be tightened anymore at its lower limit (shortest stroke length)

Note: Pump frequency may depend on the viscosity of lubricant used. Higher viscosity lubricants may require lower pump frequencies.
The Piston Pump Duty Cycle (ON Pulse) is .1s. This rapidly discharges the oil from the pump cylinder and maximizes the suction stroke of the pump, allowing more time for oil to fill the pump cylinder. The duty cycle time is important to consider when connecting solenoids to the piston pump. Incorrect connections can lead to pump failure or stroke disruption.
Standard Pump

  • Minimum output, per cycle, per pump: 0.0018 in3 / 0.03 cc / 0.001 oz.
  • Maximum output, per cycle, per pump : 0.0366 in3 / 0.6 cc / 0.02 oz.
  • When increasing or decreasing the stroke length with the adjustments stem, each mark is a change of 0.0285cc.
  • Max flow rate : 48 cc/min

Note: Each pump supplies at least two(2) nozzles, so the flow rates should be cut in half.

ATTENTION: Be sure to follow all local and national electrical codes.

AIR PRESSURE REGULATOR

The following images may or may not depict your exact system configuration. Function will remain consistent regardless of configuration.
SETTING THE SYSTEM AIR PRESSURE
Note: During the initial pressure setting, the adjustment knob may be difficult to unlock. If this happens, disconnect the compressed air line and unlock the adjustment knob and then reconnect the compressed air line.

  • Pull the black adjustment knob of the air pressure regulator outward (away from the gauge) until it clicks. This will unlock the adjustment knob and allow the pressure setting to be changed.
    With the compressed air line connected, adjust the air pressure regulator setting by rotating the adjustment knob until the black set point indicator on the regulator is between 0.27 MPa (40 PSI) and 0.52 MPa (75 PSI). Turning the knob clockwise will increase the pressure setting and counterclockwise will decrease the setting.

  • Adjustment knob-Pull the knob away from the regulator body to unlock and adjust the air pressure settings.

ATTENTION: The operating pressure of the pumps is 0.1 MPa (14.5 psi) – 0.6 MPa (87 psi). An air pressure setting outside of the pump operating pressures may cause flow problems or pump failures.

  • When the desired pressure setting is reached, push the adjustment knob towards the air pressure gauge until it clicks. This will lock the adjustment knob in position.
  • SETTING THE AIR PRESSURE SWITCH
    • The air pressure switch is used to detect when the air pressure supplied to the system has dropped below the necessary operating pressure to cycle the piston pumps. This signal will relay a low air pressure fault to the spray control panel.

HOW TO SET THE AIR PRESSURE SWITCH

  1. The gauge cover must be removed by twisting it counterclockwise until it stops (approx. ¼ inch).
  2. Gently pull the cover away from the gauge. Note the catch in the gauge that align with the slot on the gauge cover—this is important when reinstalling the gauge cover.
  3. Using a small flathead screwdriver (2.9 mm blade width) adjust the air pressure switch adjustment screw located on the bottom of the gauge until the green indicator pointer is set to 0.3 MPa. (approx. 40 PSI). This is the low air pressure set point.
  4. If the compressed air drops below this setting, the switch will alarm the control panel indicating that there is inadequate air pressure to operate the piston pumps. The red LED Stop button on the control panel door will flash 10 times indicating there is low air pressure. The green tabs on the gauge can be used to mark the chosen pressure setting and the chosen low air pressure setting. They have no effect on the actual air pressure setting or air pressure limit switch settings.
  5. Once the low air pressure setting is complete, replace the gauge cover by lining up the slot (notch in the cover) to the catch on the gauge housing.
  6. Gently push the cover into the gauge and rotate it clockwise until it stops.

AutoJet-ES250-Electrostatic-Chain-Oiler-System- \(27\)

PARTICULATE FILTER
The particulate filter (five micron) is included to prevent moisture and dirt from entering the solenoid valve by way of the compressed air line. Excess moisture will condense inside the attached polycarbonate bowl. The polycarbonate bowl water level can be viewed through the slots of the metal bowl protector.

  • CAUTION: Regularly monitor the water level and do not allow it to go above the maximum level indicator. If the water level exceeds the maximum level indicated on the metal bowl cover, water may enter the solenoid valve causing component failure.


DRAINING THE PARTICULATE FILTER BOWL
While the regulator is still under pressure, slowly rotate the drain valve on the bottom of the bowl protector counterclockwise until water begins to drain. After all the water is drained, rotate the drain valve clockwise to close the drain.

CAUTION: Ensure that the metal bowl protector does not rotate with the drain valve. Hold the metal bowl protector in place while rotating the drain valve if necessary.

REPLACING THE PARTICULATE FILTER ELEMENT

  1. Disconnect the compressed air line from the filter regulator assembly
  2. Open the drain valve on the bottom of the metal bowl protector— This will ensure that no pressurized air remains in the particulate filter.
  3. Rotate the metal bowl protector counterclockwise until it stops
  4. Pull the bowl protector downward until it releases from the particulate filter body
  5. Rotate the black plastic hex nut counterclockwise to unscrew it from the filter body until it is removed
  6. Remove the filter element and replace it with a clean new one
  7. Reinstall the hex nut and the metal bowl protector and close the drain valve
  8. Reconnect the compressed air line

VERIFYING THE FLUID RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY SET UP

Check that the following has been completed:

  • The air pressure switch, solenoid cable, and fluid level float switch are wired into the spray control panel
  • The air pressure switch is securely connected to the compressed air line, and the switch is securely connected to the pump
  • The pump output line is securely connected to the fluid input on the electrostatic nozzle

SECTION 6
ELECTROSTATIC CHAIN OILER SPRAY NOZZLE

NOZZLE OVERVIEW
ELECTROSTATIC CHAIN OILER SPRAY NOZZLE

  • The Electrostatic Chain Oiler Spray Nozzle delivers the electrostatically charged fluid to the target. Using the spray control panel, operators can adjust the voltage level applied to all nozzles that are connected to that panel. Each nozzle is connected to its own individual piston pump, which allows for some independent adjustment of pump flow rate.
  • The nozzle tip should be able to be adjusted to between 1/2” to 1” away from the target to allow for electrostatic spray fine tuning. This can affect the electrostatic spray at each nozzle, and allows for process-specific customization of spray capacity, spray pattern, and electrostatic droplet size.
  • The Chain Oiler Spray Nozzle is a versatile and compact electrostatic single-orifice nozzle. Operators can adjust the applied voltage and fluid flow rate to all Chain Oiler Nozzles in use with the spray control panel and the fluid delivery system.

MOUNTING

  • The Chain Oiler Nozzle includes a 7/8 in. 20UNEF-2A thread for mounting
  • The nozzle must be mounted in a clean, non-hazardous area
  • The nozzle must be mounted in a location where the chain is extremely steady
  • Any movement of the chain could cause an arc or damage the nozzle tip
  • The spray target must be properly grounded
  • The ground wire should go directly to an earth ground as defined by local electrical codes.

ATTENTION: Nothing metallic or conductive, except for the target, should be within a 8 in. envelope of the nozzle. Any mounting fixtures should be made of nonconductive materials.

  • The nozzle mounting scheme should allow for as many degrees of nozzle movement as possible. This allows for easier fine tuning and adjustment of the electrostatic spray.
  • The nozzle should be able to move so that the nozzle tip can be positioned between 1/2 in. to 1 in. away from the target.

AutoJet-ES250-Electrostatic-Chain-Oiler-System- \(30\)

MOUNTING BRACKET
The mounting bracket is compatible with the nozzle mounting threads and includes two 0.270 in. (6.9 mm) slots.

NOZZLE CONNECTIONS

Fluid Line

  • Fluid line tubing must be made from a material that is compatible with the fluid being sprayed. Tubing must be rigid enough to be compatible with the 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) OD push-to-connect fittings that are supplied with the nozzle assembly.
  • All fluid must be run through a filter capable of removing 90 micron particulates.
    • CAUTION: Metallic tubing is not to be used as it will interfere with the electrostatic fields and create arcing.
  • Depending on the pump flow rate and length of line, purging all air from the fluid lines can take an extended period of time. It is suggested that a syringe, pressure pot, or other higher flow device be used to purge the line.
  • HIGH VOLTAGE CABLE
    • The high voltage cable connects the HVPS from the Spray Control Panel terminal block to the nozzle. The electrode connector connects into the rubber boot at the end of the high voltage cable with a steel fastener.
    • Ensure that the fastener is firmly attached to the nozzle electrode connector. AutoJet-ES250-Electrostatic-Chain-Oiler-System- \(31\)

NOZZLE DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

WARNING: Make sure that power has been turned off and disconnected from the Spray Control Panel before starting nozzle disassembly.

Reverse the disassembly procedure when its time to reassemble the nozzle.

  1. Disconnect and remove the high voltage cable (6)
  2.  Remove the nozzle tip (1) from the nozzle body (4) using a 7/16 wrench
  3.  Remove the hex nut (2) from the nozzle body (4)
  4. Slide the mounting bracket (3) away from the nozzle body (4)
  5. Remove the fluid line push-to-connect fitting (5)

NOZZLE CONFIGURATION AND ADJUSTMENT

ELECTROSTATIC VOLTAGE
The electrostatic nozzle is rated for between 0–30,000 volts. This voltage range allows for variation in fluid viscosities and allows for adjustments to both spray pattern and drop size.

WARNING: Do not exceed voltage rating for nozzle assembly. Serious injury or death may occur. Initial Nozzle Configuration

  1. Begin with the nozzle tip positioned 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) to 3/4 in. (19 mm) away from the target.
  2. Position the nozzle tip so that it is pointing at the area where the spray is desired. This position may need to be adjusted when the nozzle is spraying as other grounded objects nearby may influence the spray pattern.
  3. Apply the desired flow rate to the nozzle.
  4.  Allow enough time for fluid to start dripping from the nozzle tip before applying voltage.
  5. Start with the voltage at zero and slowly increase—watch for the drops on the tips of the spray nozzles to form into a small cones. These small cones will have a series of single file droplets propelling off from the tip. At the lower end of the voltage range, the droplets will be heavier with spaces in between.
  6.  As voltage is increased, droplets will shrink and appear to be one very thin, continuous stream. This continuous stream is considered to be a proper spraying nozzle.

ADJUSTMENT OF SPRAY
If the spray pattern appears intermittent or has heavy drops, try one or both of the following:

  1.  Increase the applied voltage.
  2. Move the nozzle tip closer to the grounded target. Ensure that the nozzle tip does not come into contact with any moving parts. If any damage occurs to the nozzle tip, it will need to be replaced—defects in the tip will affect the spray pattern.

If arcing occurs: See Section 7.4 Arc Fault Troubleshooting.
ELECTROSTATIC FIELD
To control or make adjustments to the electrostatic field:

  • Change the distance between the nozzle and target.
  • Change the voltage applied to the nozzle.

The distance between the nozzle and the target will also influence any arcing of the nozzle. If the Spray Control Panel detects an arc, it will display a fault.

SECTION 7

FAULTS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

FAULTS AND FAULT CODES
The system can generate one fault code at a time. If a second fault condition occurs, it will register after the reset button has been pressed and the first fault has been resolved.
The Stop button LED will display a 250 mS ON pulse (button illuminated) followed by a 250 mS OFF pulse (button not illuminated). Once the number of pulses flash for the current system error, the pulse sequence will repeat after a one second pause.

Fault Code Stop Button LED Indicator Description
Stop Fault Illuminated, no pulsing Occurs when the Stop Button on the panel

door is pressed. Stops system operation, all lubrication outputs and the HVPS will be disabled.

Visible electrical arc at the nozzle after pressing the TEST button|

  • Move the nozzles further away from the target and try again.
  • Purge the fluid lines to remove any possible air pockets in the nozzle

General arc fault|

  • Lower the high voltage output by turning the H.V. ADJ potentiometer dial counterclockwise. Press the TEST button on the control panel circuit board and check the nozzle output.
  • Slowly turn the H.V. ADJ potentiometer adjustment dial clockwise until the spray from the affected nozzle becomes a thin steady stream.

Additional Arc Fault Troubleshooting

  • If the system still faults, press the STOP button disconnect the cables from the spray control panel. Press the RESET button, then the TEST button on the control panel circuit board
  • If the system still faults with no cables connected, there is a problem inside the spray control panel. Consult your local Spray Specialist.

If the system doesn’t fault with the cables disconnected, press the STOP button and reconnect the cables at the spray control panel and disconnect the cable from the nozzles.
Press the RESET Pushbutton then the TEST button on the PCB. If the system faults, then there is a problem with the cables. If the system doesn’t fault, the problem is at the nozzle.
Arc Faults Originating At The Nozzles
Solution
Purge fluid lines to ensure no air pockets are trapped in the nozzles
Move the nozzle back and further away from the spray target
With exception of the target, check to make sure there are no grounded objects near the nozzle tip
