Rooms with pressure lines (e. g. storage rooms for chlorine
containers)
•
Flat, even floor
– not below ground level
– not higher than a possible loading ramp
✓
Fig. 10 Regulations for chlorine rooms (1)
Fig. 11 Regulations for chlorine rooms (2)
•
Direct exit to the open air
•
Lockable
– doors must open outwards
– it must be possible to open the doors without a key from
inside the room
•
No connection to other rooms
– separated gastight and fire-resistant from other rooms
•
A maximum of two vent holes of max. 20 cm
•
Water sprinkling system
– for precipitating escaping chlorine gas
– operation must be possiple by hand from outside the
chlorine rooms
– sufficiently dimensioned run-off with air trap
•
Chlorine gas warning system
– with optical and acoustical alarm
– coupled to the water sprinkling system
– coupling must reactivate automatically after having switched
off (e. g. for container exchange)
•
Chlorine gas must not be able to get into lower-lying rooms,
shafts, pits, canals or aspirating holes of ventilation systems.

2.5.1 Vacuum regulator
•
Reduces the gas pressure (overpressure) to subatmospheric
pressure (vacuum)
2.5.2 Measuring tube
•
Displays the gas flow
2.5.3 Rate valve
•
For adjustment of the required gas flow
– manually or automatically
2.5.4 Differential pressure regulator (option): VGA-117)
•
Regulates the difference of the pressures before and after the
rate valve to a constant value
– Adjusted dosing flow stays constant even when the injector

vacuum varies.
2.5.5 Vacuummeter (option): VGA-117)
– Displays the injector vacuum
2.5.6 Injector
– Creates the vacuum necessary for operating the pant
– Mixes the chlorine gas with the water
