9.1 Transport and storage

9.2 Unpacking

• Check scope of delivery.

• Assemble as soon as possible after unpacking.

9.3 Installation requirements

• The location must be vibration-free, dry, dust-free and free of

corrosive, pungent fumes or aggressive solvents.

• Maximum permissible cable length:

– Individual AQC-D12 measuring cell: distance between

measuring cell and measuring amplifier or sensor interface

3 m.

– Preassembled systems with Conex DIS, DIA or DIP for

wall-mounting: completely prewired.

– Preassembled systems with Conex DIA for panel-mounting:

the distance between measuring amplifier and sensor

interface must be less than 100 m.

• Ensure a continuous supply of sample water.

• Install the measuring cell so that the sample water feed line is

as short as possible, in order to reduce the delay time of the

measuring cell.

• Observe the permissible inlet pressure and counterpressure of

the sample water.

– Fit a pressure booster pump or pressure reducer, if

necessary.

• If the counterpressure may fall below 0.3 bar or if there is an

open outflow, a pressure-loading valve must be fitted to the

outlet of the measuring cell (F). The pressure-loading valve

(V) is available with an adaptor for the measuring cell

(Grundfos product number 99253231).

• Provide possibilities to shut-off the sample water (U). You can

use the Grundfos installation set 95727420 on the discharge

side.

protective caps moist with 3-molar potassium

chloride solution.

Caution

Do not allow any foreign bodies to enter!

Warning

For safety reasons, the customer must install an

earth leakage circuit breaker for the measuring

amplifier.

Caution

Non-observance of the installation requirements may

result in damage or errors in measurement!

Note

For safety during service and maintenance, switch

off the measuring amplifier and the measuring cell at

all poles.

11. Operation

11.1 Function

Various oxidation agents are used for the disinfection of

swimming-pool water and drinking water, for instance chlorine

(Cl

2

), chlorine dioxide (ClO

2

) and ozone (O

3

).

It is necessary to measure the concentration of the oxidation

agent and to regulate its dosing.

• Concentration of oxidation agent is too low:

– Disinfection effect is too weak.

• Concentration of oxidation agent is too high:

– Danger to health

– Unpleasant odour and taste

– Corrosion damage

– Increased operating costs.

The AQC-D12 measuring cell is used for measuring the

concentration of chlorine (Cl

2

), chlorine dioxide (ClO

2

) or ozone

(O

3

). It is equipped with a water sensor, an optional Pt100

temperature sensor and additional holders for pH electrodes and

redox electrodes.

Preassembled systems with Conex DIA, Conex DIS and DIP are

used when the values of decontamination agents, pH and

redox-potential have to be determined and controlled. The basic

element of the preassembled systems is the AQC-D12 measuring

cell.

11.1.1 Functional principle of measurement

• Sample water is taken at a representative position and passed

to the measuring cell via an integral filter.

– The water flow rate can be adjusted on the measuring cell.

– A water sensor serves to trigger an alarm or to switch off the

control function, if there is a sample water deficiency. It is

also used for checking the cleaning wing.

– The agent to be determined (Cl

2

, ClO

2

or O

3

) is measured at

the gold or platinum electrode.

• The agent to be determined generates an electric current in

the µA range, proportional to its concentration.

– The measuring cell is controlled by a potentiostat in the

measuring amplifier.

– A constant voltage is applied to the measuring electrode. An

exactly defined potential of the measuring electrode is

retained by means of the reference electrode. This results in

a linear response for the measuring cell as well as a stable

zero point for the measurement.

• The Conex or DIP measuring amplifiers and controllers

– amplify the current

– calculate it using the calibration parameters

– display the concentration as a digital value

– control a gas dosing unit or a dosing pump (device

controlled).

11.1.2 Electrode cleaning

The measuring electrode and the counter-electrode are

continuously cleaned of deposits by a cleaning wing.

• This ensures uniform sensitivity for the measuring cell over a

long period.

• The cleaning wing is driven hydraulically.

11.1.3 Influence of temperature

The current generated on the electrodes depends on the

temperature of the sample water.

• The measured value increases by approx. 4 % per 1 °C

increase.

• Temperature variations can be compensated by the measuring

amplifier, if the temperature compensation function is

activated.

– The temperature can be measured with a Pt100 temperature

sensor optionally integrated into the measuring electrode.

– The temperature measuring signals are transferred to the

measuring amplifier and calculated using the electrode

signals.

11.1.4 Influence of the pH value on the chlorine measurement

Free, active chlorine is considered as the total of molecular

chlorine gas (Cl

2

), hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite

anions (OCl

-

). Dissolved chlorine gas in molecular form

practically does not exist at the application-dependent pH values

(pH 4.5 to 8.2), but is subject to hydrolysis in the presence of

water according to the equation

Cl

2

+ H

2

O HOCl + HCl

The resulting hypochlorous acid is the actually effective

compound for disinfection of the water. The dissociation of acid to

anions is primarily according to an equilibrium dependent on the

pH value according to the equation

HOCl + H

2

O H

3

O

+

+ OCl

-

Fig. 23 HOCl-OCl diagram

The measuring cell for chlorine primarily only determines the

portion of hypochlorous acid that is relevant for disinfection.

Since the dependence on the pH value is particularly large in the

actually relevant range between pH 7 and pH 8.2, this

dependence must be compensated for in the measuring amplifier

if the pH value varies considerably. The pH value must therefore

also be measured, and the pH compensation function must be

activated on the measuring amplifier.
