1. Care and Maintenance
1.1 precision filter is generally used for a period of one year. If the filter is too much resistance or loss of ability to filter induced normal production, you need to be cleaned or replaced (recommended direct replacement, no cleaning, because after cleaning operations can not reliably guarantee performance of the filter).
1.2 cleaning fermentors, scrub with a soft brush, do not scratch hard to avoid any surface damage fermenter.
1.3 supporting instruments should be checked every year to ensure proper use.
1.4 electrical, instrumentation, sensors and other electrical equipment is prohibited directly with water vapor contact, to prevent moisture.
1.5 devices to stop using, should be promptly cleaned, drained fermenter various pipeline than water; loosen the fermentation jars and hand hole cover screw seal to prevent permanent deformation.
1.6 operating platform, heated tanks and other steel equipment should be regularly (once a year) paint to prevent corrosion.
1.7 Check the gearbox oil level frequently, such as lubricating oil is not enough, the need for timely increase.
1.8 reducer regular replacement of oil, in order to prolong its life.
1.9 If the fermenter temporarily do, you need to eliminate the fermenter were empty, and all side by side to make more than the water tank inside the tubes.
2. Considerations
2.1 single piece of equipment must ensure that all use of the system can run normally.
2.2 sterilization filter, air filter flows through the steam pressure should not exceed 0.17MPa, otherwise the filter cartridge will be damaged, lost filtering ability.
2.3 During the fermentation process, make sure the tank pressure does not exceed 0.17MPa.
2.4 In the real process of elimination, when the jacket through the steam preheat inlet pressure must be controlled within the operating pressure range of the device (no more than 0.2MPa), otherwise it will cause damage to the fermenter.
2.5 Cancellation and empty real consumer, must be drained fermenter jacket remainder water. Doing so may lead to the fermentation tank flattened cylinder, resulting in equipment damage; when the real consumer, but also cause excessive condensate leads broth diluted, making it impossible to process requirements.
2.6 After the air in the cooling process elimination, elimination of solid, non-fermentation tank to produce a negative pressure to prevent pollution, and even damage the equipment.
2.7 in the fermentation process, the pressure tank should be maintained between 0.03 ~ 0.05MPa, in order to avoid contamination.
2.8 In each procedure, you must keep the air pressure in the pipeline pressure is greater than the fermenter tank, otherwise it will cause fermentation liquid back into the filter, clogged filter cartridge or the filter failure.
2.9 If you encounter a problem they can not solve, please contact the company service department. Do not force the demolition or repair
Stirring mechanism Maintenance:
1.1 the stirring mechanism by a motor, a stirring shaft, stirring blade, the coupling mechanism together constitute. At the upper end of the normal operation of the agitator shaft couplings using a specially designed, played both the agitator shaft hang up, but also to ensure the shaft
1.2 stirrer maintenance:
1) Every time after opening the lid should be checked and tightened installed in various parts of the agitator shaft stopper screw.
2) bearing the exchange: After two years of use, significantly increased bearing noise or agitator shaft bearings obvious swing to be replaced. Bearing cap lifted, lifted head screw shaft and the bearing cap, bearing shed next door, and remove the bearing retainer at the lower end of the bearing, taken down by the stirring shaft, remove and replace the bearing, then turn installation.
Filtered filter changer:
1.1 filter replacement cartridge
Since air contains a lot of dust, after a certain time, pores on the filter will gradually clog. Thus on the one hand caused a serious shortage of air flow and air pressure drop increases, and may cause contamination. At this point it needs to be replaced. Due to large differences over the air quality, so there is no one exact life, it is recommended sterilization times for 20 batches.
Solenoid valve maintenance:
In ensuring the operation of the circulating pump and circulation line patency, the temperature did not rise only to drop the biggest reason is the solenoid valve is leaking or stuck valve
1.1 solenoid valve is used in the fermentation tank cooling, solenoid valve stuck, damaged valve seals fail and can cause failure of the solenoid valve solenoid.
1.2 Failure to determine:
Cooling valve failure:
1) Press the water switch, water switch and indicator lights on the end face of the solenoid valve is non-magnetic, non-cooling water discharge, bad coil; water switch light is not on, the control box F1 (Realy) fuse burned.
2) off solenoid valve, drain cooling water leakage, seal failure or debris stuck valve poppet;
Other maintenance:
Ball Maintenance: Because the seal is another ball inside two hemispherical made into tetrafluoroethylene, after prolonged use, may leak between the seal and the valve. Maintenance: fittings at both ends of the valve nut loosen, then tighten the joints at both ends of the cylindrical valve, you can. (Under normal circumstances: Turn the valve handle should be some resistance)
Ferrule fittings leak: to tighten the pressure cap on the connector.
Air hose: To prevent air flow meter is connected to both ends of the hose burst accident, it is recommended every two years to replace all the hoses.
Steam generator maintenance: reference steam generator manual.
Air Compressor Maintenance: Manual reference compressor

4. Replace the membrane and electrolyte
4.1 In general, we recommend that customers every three months electrolyte replacement operation. But also can decide depending on the circumstances.
4.2 If the electrode signal is not normal (long response time, mechanical damage, the current increases in oxygen-free medium, etc.), you need to replace the film.
4.2.1 Replacing steps film (this operation is limited to InPro6000 series, not for Φ12mm dissolved oxygen probe):
1) Disconnect the probe and cable;
2) Unscrew the protective cover film tip of the probe (in this case the dissolved oxygen in the protective film kit);
3) The electrolyte membrane oxygen cylinder down in the waste;
4) The oxygen membrane protective cover (along with oxygen membrane) down on the bench;
5) Take a small flathead screwdriver, with the tip against the Ministry of the protective ring oxygen film.
Gently force the membrane pressure from the protective sleeve, the force is perpendicular to the direction slightly tilted outward.
★ Note: The knife is not against the diaphragm, otherwise it will damage the oxygen film.
6) Take a change of dissolved oxygen in the film to be added to the electrolyte. The following operation is the same as 4.2.2 electrolyte replacement
4.2.2 electrolyte replacement operation

4) The amount of electrolyte in Figure 3b;
5) Make sure no air bubbles inside the film, if the bubble can flick membrane, remove air bubbles;
6) The film is set on a rotating body slowly into the electrode, and then carefully tighten the stainless steel casing.
5. Probe current anomalies in the air
5.1 Probe Current in air value refers to a current value of the probe exposed to the air, generally indicated by the absolute value. Different types of dissolved oxygen probe in air different range of current values, see the probe instruction manual.
Current low 5.2 in the air, the usual causes and treatment methods are as follows:
5.2.1 platinum cathode surface covered with an oxide material, at this time the head can be observed against the light inside the cathode electrode, the cathode surface can be seen as black. Available in more than 1,000 head grade sandpaper gently polished platinum wire head back and forth several times, as long as the shiny surface of the platinum wire can be. Must not be over-polished, otherwise inner electrode head will be damaged.
5.2.2 platinum cathode film failed to come into contact with oxygen.
1) Check the oxygen membranes are secured in place, if this is the case, you should tighten the black protective cover film shown in Figure 1 until the seals do not see so far.
2) Check the oxygen film sheet, if there is excessive protrusion, the cathode can not come into contact with the membrane, the membrane must replace the dissolved oxygen.
The current value of 5.3 in the air is high, common causes and treatment methods are as follows:
The reason
