Description
NAFFCO Monitor mounted on Water Powered Oscillating Unit, transforms the manual monitor into an oscillating monitor. The unit is suitable for use in high risk areas such as tank farm facilities, aircraft hangars, offshore, refineries, chemical plants, and heliports.
The monitor possesses several design features that provides ease of operation, minimum maintenance and resistance to corrosive environments. A water drive wheel is connected to a double reduction gearbox drive and oscillating mechanism. To operate the drive wheel, a small quantity of flow is diverted from the monitor inlet. The monitor requires no external wiring or hydraulic control for operation.
The minimum operating water pressure required for the oscillation mechanism is approximately 50 psi. Water flow through the oscillation mechanism is approximately 11 gallons per minute (GPM) at 50 psi and approximately 16 GPM at 100 psi. The design ensures that jet reaction forces do not affect the horizontal or vertical positioning of the monitor during operation.
The vertical angle of elevation and horizontal arc of oscillation is field adjustable and can be set and locked in position. The monitor can be set to oscillate over a range of 0°-120° and the oscillation arc can be set anywhere within the 360° field of operation. The unit is equipped with a garden hose test connection. This allows functional check of the oscillating mechanism without system flow.
