Filling Manifold:
This consists of a
battery of filling connections to connect to the gas cylinders.
Non-return valves are provided in various sections of the pipeline to
the filling manifold. These non-return valves are extremely important
for the safe operation of the plant and should be periodically
examined. The manifold should also be periodically cleaned to remove
rust and scales, (iron rust rushing through the pipeline at high speed
could generate a spark and cause fire). The cylinder filling pig tails
(flexible hose pipes) should also be periodically cleaned to ensure
that they do not burst during filling operation, (if they do burst, a
fire could occur due to sudden discharge of Acetylene).
Instrument Air Compressor:
Flameproof motor with a buffer tank includes the instrument air compressor.
