 LP90 Fluid Application System 15

Theory of Operation
The LP90 motor causes the fluid to be drawn from the tank through the flow
meter valve, into the flow meter pipette, and then into the pump inlet. The
fluid exits the pump through a three‐way tee to which a pressure transducer
is connected. The fluid then flows through a manifold and shutoff valve to the
applicator, where is it is dispensed onto the product.

A solenoid valve controls the module‐actuating air supplied to the applicator,

causing it to open and close at the appropriate times. As the fluid is
dispensed from the applicator nozzle, pattern air and nozzle‐cleaning air may
be blown onto the fluid. The pattern air disperses the fluid and the
nozzle‐cleaning air keeps the nozzle clean. The actuation of the solenoid
valve is controlled through a pattern controller or other triggering device.

The LP90 system is designed so that the pump operates only when the
applicator is active. During normal operation, the system pressure will range
from 0.07-0.20 bar (1-3 psi). If the pressure exceeds 1.4bar(20psi), a
bleed/relief valve will open to allow fluid to circulate back to the tank. The
pressure transducer provides a current or voltage signal to the parent
machine's control system, allowing the LP90 system pressure to be
monitored.

The LP90 system can operate in the manual or key‐to‐line (automatic) mode.
When operating in the key‐to‐line mode, the system automatically adjusts the
fluid output as the line speed changes.

Bulk Fill Option

The bulk fill option allows the LP90 tank to be filled automatically from a
remote supply. A supply hose is connected to a solenoid‐operated bulk fill
valve located at the top of the LP90 tank. The supply hose is pressurized with
fluid and the bulk fill valve is opened when the bulk fill signal contacts on the
parent machine's control system are closed.

Flow Rate Monitoring

Follow these steps periodically to check the flow rate to ensure that the
desired amount of fluid is being dispensed. You will need a stop watch to
perform this procedure.

1. See Figure 9. Prepare a stop watch to time the fluid drop in the flow meter
pipette (1).
2. Record the volume in the flow meter pipette; then simultaneously close
the flow meter shutoff valve (2) and start the stopwatch.
3. When the stopwatch indicates one minute, note the reading on the
pipette and subtract the reading from the volume recorded in step 3. This
is the flow rate in cc/min.
4. If the measured flow rate does not match the desired flow rate, refer to
Troubleshooting.

Fluid Level Monitoring

Monitor the level of fluid in the LP90 tank and ensure that fluid will be added
when the tank‐low point is reached.

If connected, the level switch will send a signal to the parent machine control
system to activate either a tank low signal or a tank high signal. When the
tank low signal activates, 0.75 l (0.2 gal) of fluid remain in the tank. Refer to
Electrical Installation earlier in this manual to connect the level switch wiring
to the parent machine control system. If desired, the tank low signal can be
used to activate a bulk fill system.

System Pressure Monitoring

Monitor the system pressure and ensure that the pressure does not exceed
1.4bar (20 psi). The bleed/relief valve is set to open at 1.4 bar (20 psi). If the
bleed/relief valve opens, the flow rate at the applicator will change, causing
improper fluid application. The recommended operating pressure range for
the LP90 system is 0.07-0.20bar (1-3 psi). If the average system pressure
starts to rise, clean the filter. Refer to Filter Cleaning or Replacement under
Maintenance.

If connected, the pressure tranducer will send a pressure reading to the

parent machine control system or to a remotely located pressure readout
(customer‐supplied). Refer to Electrical Installation earlier in this manual to
connect the pressure transducer wiring to the parent machine control
system.
