Installing Gas Drying Tumblers in
the European Union
General Information
This information is to be used when installing gas
tumblers in countries, and/or on gases, different than
the machine’s factory configuration. Tumblers are
supplied from the factory for operation on Natural Gas
or L.P. Gas in the countries of GB/IE/PT/ES/IT. To
install machines in any other country, or on any other
gas, requires some level of modification.
Orifices, stickers, block-open kits, regulator springs
and other parts needed for conversions are to be
ordered separately.
Models are built in three different configurations:
●Regulated Natural Gas – Injector is sized for
Natural Gas, second family, group H (E) at
20 mbar inlet pressure. Regulator/governor is
operational. Gas valve CAN be field-converted to
a non-regulating type.
●Unregulated Natural Gas – Injector is sized for
Natural Gas, second family, group E+ at
20.25 mbar inlet pressure. Regulator/governor is
blocked open. Gas valve CANNOT be fieldconverted to a regulating type.
●Unregulated L.P. (Liquefied Petroleum) Gas –
Injector is sized for L.P., third family, group 3+ at
28.37 mbar inlet pressure. Regulator/governor is
blocked open. Gas valve CANNOT be fieldconverted to a regulating type.
Serial plates supplied from the factory are configured
for the countries of GB/IE/PT/ES/IT. These
instructions pertain to the situations when the country
of use or gas supply is different than that on the serial
plate.
The tables referred to describe the different gases that
are available in different EU countries, and how the
machines need to be configured to operate with those
gases. In the EU, there are Natural Gases that do not
allow for machine regulation, and L.P. Gases that must
be regulated. For L.P. Gas, third family B/P at
50 mbar, order Regulated Natural Gas machines and
convert according to tables.
When converting the tumbler to a
different gas or pressure, first verify that
the supply inlet pressure is equipped with
a pressure regulator (located ahead of the
tumbler) that will maintain the gas supply
at the inlet pressure specified.
W430
Basic Configuration
1. Determine the necessary conversion operations to
convert from the factory-supplied configuration
to the desired configuration.
2. Perform the conversions required so the machine
is properly configured for the desired country and
gas (refer to Specific Conversion Procedures
section):
●How to Convert Gas Valve from Regulated to
Unregulated
NOTE: Conversion from regulated to unregulated
is only needed when regulated tumblers were
ordered, but unregulated tumblers were needed.
●How to Change Injector (Orifice) Size
●How to Adjust Gas Valve Governor/Regulator
●How to Change Regulator Spring DE/AT
Only.
3. If applicable, peel off the appropriate country
sticker from Part No. 503382 or M413919
(included with machine) and apply it to the serial
plate over the existing country information. Refer
to Figure 9.
4. If applicable, peel off the appropriate conversion
sticker from Part No. M413800 or M413919
(included with machine) and apply it to the serial
plate over the “ADJUSTED FOR ______ GAS:
______” information. Refer to Figure 9.
