Plant Design Considerations For Using DF-2000TM Fluid

DF-2000 Fluid is within the NFPA 32 Class III A solvent classification. This classification is based on the flash point of the solvent being within the range of 140°F and 200°F. Because of this classification, the drycleaning plant using DF-2000 Fluid is governed by NFPA 32 guidelines for Class III A plants.

Applicable local building codes should be consulted for specific requirements but ultimate decisions must be approved by the local “Authority Having Jurisdiction&rdquo.

Replacement of Stoddard Solvent by DF-2000 Fluid in Hydrocarbon Drycleaning Machines

By following these simple procedures, you will gain immediate benefits including very low aromatic content and a high flash point:

Step 1 - Cleaning System

Drain all of the old solvent from the entire system, including the storage tanks and all piping.
Remove old solvent filters.
Remove sludge from tank bottoms, sides of tank and filter housings.
Clean, drain and dry all of the condenser housings and water separators.
Dispose of all solvent waste and used filters which may contain solvent in accordance with applicable local, state and federal regulations.

Step 2 - Flushing System

Add a few gallons of DF-2000 Fluid to the storage tank.
Pump fresh DF-2000 Fluid around the system to remove remaining sludge and Stoddard solvent.
Drain the DF-2000 Fluid used as a rinse.
Dispose of all rinse solvent waste in accordance with applicable local, state and federal regulations.
Install new solvent filters.
Fill storage tanks with DF-2000 Fluid.

Step 3 - Installing Cleaning Additives

Ensure that your additives are compatible with DF-2000 Fluid (contact technical support for a listing of compatible additives).
Add proper amount of cleaning additives to appropriate storage tank if using charge process; with load process cleaning additives, precondition appropriate storage tank and filter with cleaning additives.

Step 4 - Starting Up System

Start up the drycleaning unit and run one cycle with dry rags to ensure that the system is clean, free of moisture and that cycle programming is adequate.
