mechanical work, equipment handling, and safety procedures must be
performed in accordance with industry accepted practice and all relevant local,
state, and federal government codes, laws, and policies.
2SAFETY
2.1 Safety statement
The air cleaning equipment supplied by AAF International ranges from very
large multiple-component assemblies which require significant and complex,
rigging, handling and assembly on-site, to small compact assemblies that are easily
handled and maneuvered. In addition to size, many of the dust collectors will require
electrical connections, compressed air connections, and will feature high speed
rotating equipment.
At all times, when dealing with industrial equipment such as dust collection
equipment personnel safety must be the highest priority of all involved, from
riggers, installers, operators, users, and maintenance personnel. Those responsible
on-site shall review the details of the equipment beforehand and develop a plan for
dealing with all stages of the installation from receipt of the equipment on-site to
start-up, commissioning, and hand-over. All applicable health, safety, and
environmental (“HSE”) rules, regulations and legislation shall be fully complied with
at all times.



2.2 Safe working practices and staff training
AAF International is fully committed to the safety of its employees and those
of its customers. In this spirit the following guidelines are offered for the
consideration of those responsible:
All personnel shall receive safety training specific to the site, the task, and the
conditions under which the work will be conducted.
All personnel shall be equipped with appropriate safety apparel and
equipment, such as clothing, footwear, hard-hats, gloves, ear protection, eye
protection, and safety harness.
All personnel involved in any stage of the process shall have been trained for
the tasks in which they will be involved and at all times shall be under the direct
supervision of experienced supervisors and managers.
All personnel shall be equipped with appropriate tools and equipment to safely
and efficiently complete their task.
Adequate lighting shall be supplied at all times while work is being conducted.
A work perimeter shall be set up to define the limits of the area within which
the work will be conducted and outside which there will be no threat to the safety
of personnel or plant. The perimeter shall be taped-off and marked appropriately to
prevent accidental ingress of uninvolved personnel or equipment. When the work
area impedes into existing access ways or traffic routes for which no practical
alternative is available, barriers, wardens and flaggers shall be employed to safely
control crossing traffic and personnel.
At any time only those personnel directly involved in completing the task at
hand shall be allowed within the work perimeter.

2.3 Dust explosions
Dust explosions constitute a serious industrial hazard and may result in death,
serious injury, and/or devastating property damage. It is the responsibility of the
user to identify the nature of the dust and whether or not it poses an explosive
hazard and to properly mitigate this hazard. Except as otherwise expressly provided
in writing, AAF makes no representation or warranty in connection with explosion


7
PulsePak PrimeGDED-IOM-216-B
hazard equipment, including, but not limited to, the necessity or effectiveness of
explosion hazard equipment or to the design, installation, operation, and
performance of such equipment. The basic standard for dealing with explosive dust
applications is from the National Fire Protection Agency (“NFPA”), NFPA 69:
Standard on Explosion Prevention Systems. This standard applies to the design,
installation, operation, maintenance, and testing of systems for the prevention of
explosions by means of various methods. The user shall be fully conversant with the
provisions of NFPA 69 and shall comply in full with all of its requirements.
By its very nature, AAF equipment is intended to be used to capture airborne
particulate matter, otherwise known as dust. There are various methods for dealing
with a dust explosion in a dust collector. These can include, but are not limited to,
the use of properly designed explosion vents, explosion suppressionsystems, or
flameless vents. The user shall understand which method is being used and who is
responsible for the design and supply of the equipment required.
When an explosive dust has been properly identified to AAF, the dust collector may
be structurally designed to withstand the internal pressure generated during the
explosive event and fitted with an explosion vent, or with multiple vents, designed
to safely discharge the pressure and the resulting fireball. The user shall review the
purchase order and the documents referenced within it to determine if explosion
protection equipment has been supplied by AAF International. Where this is the
case, review the appropriate sections of this manual that deal with the installation,
operation and maintenance of the equipment ordered.
When explosion protection systems are supplied by multiple vendors, it is the
responsibility of the user to coordinate between suppliers to ensure that the
equipment supplied by each vendor will work together to achieve the required
protection. For instance, if an explosion suppression system is being supplied by
parties other than AAF, it is incumbent on the user to ensure that the dust collection
equipment has been ordered to resist the internal pressure defined by the
suppression equipment supplier.
Dust collectors fitted with explosion vents must not be located indoors, unless
properly designed in accordance to NFPA regulations. The equipment shall be
oriented so that the vent will discharge to an unoccupied zone. Such a zone will be
prohibited to personnel and shall not include critical equipment or services such as
fuel storage tanks, flammable materials, fire hydrants, power distribution or
electrical control equipment, or similar. If the vent (or vents) are located on the
side(s) of the equipment the vent discharge area shall be isolated with barriers


8
PulsePak PrimeGDED-IOM-216-B
erected to prevent the parking of vehicles, pedestrian use, or use of the area for
temporary storage. Warning signs shall be posted. Include diagrams showing the
distribution of a typical dust explosion discharge.

2.4 Electrical hazards
Before doing any work on the AAF equipment, make sure that all potential
electrical hazards have been identified and that all electric current connected to the
equipment, and to any connected or associated equipment, has been properly
disconnected and securely locked-out to prevent accidental reconnection prior to
completion of the work. All electrical work shall be done in full accordance with the
current edition of NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code, and all other applicable
laws, rules, and regulations. All electrical work shall be performed by a licensed
electrician. Only original AAF parts shall be used as replacements for ongoing
maintenance and repair.
2.5 Rotating equipment
The PulsePak Prime can include a fan which is installed with the dust collector.
The fan wheel rotates and has the potential to cause severe injury. The fan wheel
could be accessed from outside the housing through the fan discharge. All due care
should be exercised to avoid any contact with the operating fan. Under no
circumstances should the fan ever be allowed to operate when any of the access
panels on the dust collector, or the silencer, have been removed. The fan must be
disconnected and locked out prior to the performance of any maintenance work, see
paragraph 2.4.

2.6 Safety guards
The dust collector ductwork prevents access to the fan inlet. All access panels
shall remain bolted in place while the fan is operating. Prior to the removal of any
access panels, the electrical power to the collector shall be disconnected and locked
out, see paragraphs 2.4 and 2.5. After electrical power is disconnected, the fan
wheel will continue to rotate for a period of time before coasting to a stop. Do not
access the fan until the fan wheel has come to a complete stop.

3GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION
3.1 Description
The PulsePak Prime is a complete pulse-jet cartridge collector system capable
of providing continuous on-line cleaning. This cartridge collector utilizes high
efficiency pleated filter elements arranged in a “Vee” for optimized pulse cleaning,
and are known as a Panel Pak. Dust laden air enters above the filter elements and
moves in a true “down-flow” direction between the filters. The dirty airstream turns
at a ninety degree turn into the cartridge media, allowing heavier particles to drop
out of the airstream and into the hopper. The clean air passes through the media as
the dust is collected on the filter media. The clean air then moves through the tube
sheet section and into a clean air plenum at the rear of the module.

3.2 Purpose and intended use
The PulsePak Prime is intended to be used for relatively dry nuisance dusts.
Typical applications a PulsePak Prime is used for include mining, laser tables,
thermal spray, woodworking, chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing. The
cartridge that is used in the PulsePak Prime should be suitable for the intended
application.
The REDClean®N media is suitable for most applications where the PulsePak
Prime is used. Contact AAF International for assistance on a Panel Pak design for
your application. It is recommended that you use only AAF International cartridges
on AAF International equipment.

3.3 Normal Operation
During normal operation, air enters the PulsePak Prime dust collector through
the high inlet and moves downward through the dirty air plenum, in true “down-
flow” fashion between the filters. The dirty airstream turns at a ninety degree turn
into the cartridge media, allowing heavier particles to drop out of the airstream and
into the hopper. The cleaned air passes through the filter elements, while dust is
collected on the outside surfaces of the elements. Clean air flows through the center
of the elements into the clean air plenum, where it exits through the clean air outlet.
During filter element cleaning, a pulse controller automatically selects the
element or elements to be cleaned, activating solenoid valves which open air
diaphragm valves. High pressure air pulses directly into the center of the selected
element, or pair of elements, for 100 milliseconds, blowing collected dust off the
filter element(s). The dust is swept downward into the hopper by the prevailing
airflow and gravity.

3.4 Sizes
The PulsePak pulse-jet cartridge collector is available in three heights; the 1H,
2H and 3H series. The 1H units have Panel Pak filters one-high, 2H are two elements
high and the 3H are three elements high.
The 1H series has three basic modules 2-1H, 3-1H, and 4-1H. The first number
is the total number of Panel Pak Vees and the second number designates either a
one-high, two-high or three-high unit. The 1H series can be used for installations
where headroom is limited.
The 2H series has three basic modules 6-2H, 8-2H, and 10-2H. These three
basic modules are combined to form four larger sizes as shown in the general
arrangement drawings.
The 3H series also has four basic modules, 9-3H, 12-3H, 15-3H, and 18-3H.
These basic modules are combined to make seven larger sizes.

PulsePak PrimeGDED-IOM-216-B
3.5 Filter elements
The basic filter element used in the PulsePak dust collector is the Panel Pak
cartridge filter. The Panel Pak filter has two flat panels of pleated media in a Vee-
configuration. This unique design allows for installation and change-out with a
minimum of time and effort. Each Panel Pak filter is supplied with its own gasket to
insure a positive, airtight seal each time the filter is changed.
For optimal performance, the PulsePak Prime is fitted with REDClean
®
N media
as the standard media. The REDClean N media is suitable for most applications
where the PulsePak Prime is used. Contact AAF International for assistance on a

16
PulsePak PrimeGDED-IOM-216-B
8.3 Anchoring
See the specific PulsePak Prime collector drawing for anchor bolt location.
Anchor bolts, supplied by others, must extend at least 1.75 inches above the
foundation. The collector should be located with consideration for emptying hoppers,
electrical and air connections and maintenance, and should have the shortest run of
ductwork possible.

9ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
9.1 Introduction
Safe and efficient operation of the PulsePak Prime depends on proper
installation.
AAF recommends that the ductwork going into the collector be as straight as
possible, with at least 5 diameters of straight run recommended.
Authorities with jurisdiction should be consulted before installing the PulsePak
Prime to insure local installation laws, codes, regulations and procedures are
followed.
A qualified installation and service agent must complete installation and
service of the dust collector and equipment.
Ensure all covers from shipping and loose materials are removed from the
collector before installation. Failure to do so can result in failure of the dust collector.
Ensure the hardware on the dust collector assemblies are properly installed
and tight before installation.
Shipping braces on the filter mandrels are included during shipment. These
shipping braces should stay intact until after installation is complete.

9.2 Assembling and installing the structure
9.2.1 Modular assembly
PulsePak Prime units with multiple modules normally have their housings
factory pre-assembled, with the legs and bracing sent for site assembly. If there are
site access problems that preclude delivery of very large assemblies, it may be
necessary to join together on site the housing modules. In this case the modules to
be joined will not have side panels. See also 9.2.2 and 9.2.4.



17
PulsePak PrimeGDED-IOM-216-B
9.2.2 Flanged joints
Flanged joints exist where housing modules must be bolted together and
where accessories are bolted to the outer faces of the housing. In all cases, AAF will
provide sufficient tubes of sealant which must be applied to one of the opposing
faces just prior to the faces being brought together. When applying sealant be
careful to circle each bolt hole with the sealant. See also 9.2.4.

9.2.3 Products shipped as a single assembly
All units will be shipped upright with shipping legs installed. Careful lifting,
using the supplied lifting lugs, is required to lift the unit prior to lowering the unit
onto the pre-prepared foundation.

9.2.4 Products shipped in multiple modular assemblies
Where product is shipped with the main housings in multiple modular
assemblies, with the legs separate, proceed as follows:
Follow item 9.2.4.1 to pre-install the legs and then bring in the housing
modules, in turn bolting the first to its legs before bringing in the second.
Pre-apply the sealant to the flanges as 9.2.2 and then bolt the housings
together.
Install all the supplied bolts between housings loosely at first. Access to the
bolt holes is gained via the porthole covers and the inlet/outlet openings (remove
the covers). When all the bolts are loosely in position they must be tightened in a
sequence working from the center bolts towards the corners, radiating outwards in
opposite side in sequence so that the four corner bolts are last to be tightened. This
pulls the modules together with all the mating flanges flat against each other with
no bulges.

9.2.4.1 Leg structure
Assemble the leg structure onto the prepared foundations or steelwork using
the supplied GA drawing which shows the position of all the legs and cross braces.
Ensure all the nuts and bolts are tightened and the structure is mechanically sound
and secure, and level before proceeding to the next stage.
Anchors must comply with local code requirements and must be capable of
supporting dead, live, wind, seismic, and other applicable loads for the area the dust
collector is going to be installed.

9.2.4.2 Hoppers
The hopper is an integral part of the collector. No assembly is required.
9.2.4.3 Collector Housing
Lift the housing module(s) using its lifting lugs and lower into position onto
the legs so that the holes in the matching flanges correctly align between the leg
structure and the PulsePak Prime shipping legs.
CAUTION: Never stand or work beneath a suspended load.
Make certain that the housing is safely positioned onto the supporting steel
structure and that it cannot possibly fall should there be a failure of the lifting
supports.
Secure the housing to the leg structure with the bolts, washers, and nuts that
are supplied.
All the bolts must be tightened to the appropriate torque setting. The lifting
equipment can now be removed.
NOTE: Check all access panels on the PulsePak Prime, including the top inlet
panel, front inlet panel and the bottom outlets to ensure these are caulked. If these
are not caulked and bolted, these could be leak points for the collector.
9.2.5 Installing the access components
When access components, such as an access platform, are ordered with the
PulsePak Prime, separate installation instructions will be provided with the collector.

9.2.6 Installation of control panel
Refer to the electrical drawings issued with the general arrangement drawing.
When the AAF Control Center or Pressure Demand controller is to be used,
select a location for fixing the enclosure within 15ft of the static taps located on the
PulsePak Prime side panels. Usually the Pressure Demand controller is fixed to the
leg structure but it can be remotely located if desired.

AAF provides plastic tubing for the pulse controller to be located 15ft from the
static taps. A more remote position is acceptable if additional tubing is obtained. A
practical limit of 30ft applies.
Once the pulse controller is fixed in position, connect two parallel lines of
plastic tubing to the 2 connection taps on the pulse controller and the other ends to
the static taps located on the side wall of the PulsePak Prime. These plastic pipes
allow the pulse controller to measure and display the differential pressure that exists
between the clean air plenum and dirty side plenum. In some modes of operation,
this differential pressure is used to control the pulsing.
Connect the high pressure port to the dirty side of the collector and connect
the low pressure port to the clean air side (back of the unit). Both ports are located
on the side of the collector.
See the separate pulse controller manual for a full explanation of its features
and modes of operation.

9.2.7 Installation of the filter elements
The Panel Pak filter elements are shipped separately in cartons for field
installation AFTER all ductwork connections are made. Proceed as follows:
1. Open the access door to the module and remove the two (2) retaining
knobs from the leading edge of each filter mandrel.
2. Carefully remove the mandrel support braces. Retain these braces, and
reinstall them as noted in step 6.
3. Carefully remove the Panel Pak filter element from the carton. Inspect
to make sure gasket is intact.
4. Grasp the filter along the metal sides and slide the element onto the
support until its gasket is seated. Avoid contact with pleated media.
5. Continue this procedure for all the Panel Pak cartridges. It is
recommended that elements be installed in sequence from top to
bottom.

9.2.8 Installation of accessories
When accessories, such as sprinklers, hopper discharge device(s), and
airlocks, are ordered with the PulsePak Prime, separate installation instructions will
be provided with the collector. For complete information, see the most current
installation drawing or separate IOM.

9.2.9 Electricalconnections
WARNING: Potential shock hazard. Disconnect power before servicing. Only
qualified electrical personnel should work on this system.
The PulsePak Prime pulse-jet cartridge collector is supplied with electrical
solenoids in a NEMA 4 enclosure and the standard pulse controller in a NEMA4X
enclosure. Higher NEMA ratings are available as an option. Do not install in classified
hazardous locations without an enclosure suitably rated for the application and
location.
The standard pulse control supplied with the PulsePak Prime is the DCT-1010
Dust Collector Timer Controller. This pulse controller is used for on-demand or
continuous cleaning applications.
