Gas Dosing 25g - 12kg/hr
The Portacel Clyde is a manual, vacuum operated, gas doser. It is available as a wall or yoke mounted unit and has a dosing range from 25 g/hr to 4.0 kg/hr. The Clyde LC is also available in a yoke mounted form with a dosing range from 5.0 kg/hr to 12 kg/hr, The Clyde is ideal for low demand applications as well as larger municipal installations. Its simple operation offers optimum performance without the need for constant supervision.

HOW IT WORKS
The Clyde doser consists of a vacuum regulator and a gas meter tube. It is possible to either close couple or remote mount the meter tube. Operation of the regulator requires a vacuum which is generated by a high pressure water flow through a Portacel ejector. The vacuum operates the diaphragm inside the vacuum regulator, opening the

gas inlet valve, allowing the gas to enter the regulator. The gas is accurately metered through a manually operated, precision control valve and the flow is indicated on the meter tube. .ailure of the vacuum will result in the gas valve closing, this prevents any gas from escaping to the atmosphere so ensuring safe operation. Any excess build up of gas pressure is safely vented to atmosphere via the vent port. Visual indication is provided for the availability of gas and in the event of an exhausted gas supply, a secondary valve will shut down the Clyde to avoid excess vacuum being exerted upon the gas cylinder.
