SISTEMA MODULAR DE BOLSA INFLABLE
PATENTES CONCEDIDAS EN EE. UU. Y EN EL EXTRANJERO |
FABRICADO EN EE. UU.
La solución más versátil y adaptable para la purga de tuberías: ofrece un rendimiento rápido y eficiente con un consumo mínimo de gas y la máxima calidad de soldadura.
El revolucionario Sistema Modular de Vejigas Inflables I-Purge®, con patente en trámite, es el sistema de purga de cañerías más innovador y versátil que existe. I-Purge forma un sello impermeable para consumir la menor cantidad de gas de purga durante el purgado y la soldadura del caño, ahorrando tiempo y dinero, y lograr soldaduras uniformes de alta calidad.
Fabricado en los EE. UU., este sistema de vejigas reutilizables de larga duración permite a los operadores satisfacer una variedad de necesidades de purgado con una única solución intercambiable. El I-Purge viene equipado con diversos dispositivos muy avanzados como sus Accesorios de Conexión Rápida que encajan a la perfección y facilitan el montaje y desmontaje de los componentes. El I-Purge también viene con un arnés termorresistente de gran longitud que permite colocar las vejigas fuera de la zona afectada por el calor y también puede admitir aplicaciones de precalentamiento o alto calor.
Estas funciones de avanzada permiten al operador crear múltiples configuraciones como las de un obturador de cañería unilateral y un reductor.Las vejigas vienen en tamaños de 2 a 48″ (51- 1219 mm) y pueden comprarse ya sea por separado o como un sistema completo, algo que representa una importante ventaja en caso de desear otros tamaños o de necesitar reemplazar algún componente.
Ideal para talleres de fabricación, el I-Purge supera la tecnología actual con su avanzado diseño y brinda la solución completa para todas las necesidades de purga de cañerías.

Sistema de Tuberías Internas Tri-Flow (Mangueras Azul, Negra y Blanca)
Múltiples puertos de entrada/escape para un purgado más rápido y más eficiente de la soldadura
Conexiones Separadas:
Azul – Inflado de Vejigas La primera función es inflar las vejigas y luego inundar la zona de la soldadura con gas noble
Negra – Aumentar la Inundación de la Zona de la Soldadura
Diseñada para agilizar el purgado, la manguera de purga (NEGRA) secundaria se usa para inundar el área de soldadura con gas inerte y evacuar el oxígeno a mayor velocidad, para entonces poder iniciar la soldadura
Blanca – Conexión de Escape
Conecte esta manguera a un Monitor de Oxígeno, como el Pro Ox-100 de Aquasol que obtiene lecturas de hasta 100 PPM (0,01%), para un monitoreo continuo o puntual del oxígeno en la zona de la soldadura

Guía Rápida de Instrucciones
1. Verifique que I-Purge esté completamente ensamblado (esto es, que los módulos estén firmemente conectados al arnés mediante accesorios de conexión rápida).
2. Si fuera necesario, conecte soga, cadena o cable a las argollas de tiro en los extremos de los módulos de vejiga. Esto le permitirá insertar y extraer el sistema con facilidad.
3. Conecte las líneas de gas inerte a las mangueras AZUL y NEGRA. La manguera de gas AZUL se necesita para inflar las vejigas de purgado, en tanto que la manguera de gas NEGRA es opcional y sirve para agilizar el proceso de purgado
4. Posicione la unidad de purga en el caño alineando el indicador luminiscente con la separación de la raíz
5. Encienda el suministro de gas para inflar las vejigas y purgar la zona de la soldadura. Velocidades de Flujo Recomendadas para el Purgado: La manguera de gas AZUL debería transferir gas inerte a 10-32 SCFH (5-15 LPM) para los modelos 2″ – 34″ y 60 SCFH (28,5 LPM) para los modelos 36″ – 48″.
Caudales recomendados para el purgado:
La manguera de gas AZUL debe transferir gas inerte a 10-32 SCFH (15 LPM) para los modelos de 2″-34″, 60 SCFH (28,5 LPM) para los modelos de 36″-58″ y 120 SCFH (56,6 LPM) para los modelos de 60″-70″.
6. Una vez que ha logrado un sello estanco, comience a soldar.
7. Siempre mantenga una velocidad de flujo uniforme durante el inflado, purgado y soldadura.
8. Una vez concluida la soldadura, apague el suministro de gas para desinflar las vejigas. Cuando la zona de calor se haya enfriado lo suficiente, retire el I-Purge del caño. Asegúrese de desconectar todas las líneas de gas y equipos de monitoreo.
9. Limpie el I-Purge y guárdelo en la bolsa cuando no lo esté usando.

I-Purge is designed to fit pipe schedules for each nominal pipe diameter from schedule 5 to schedule 160.
No tools are required when configuring the system. To assemble or disassemble the modules from the harness, simply press on the quick connect fitting at the end of each side of the harness and remove or connect.
The bridge harness is the connecting hose between the two inflatable bladders. It is comprised of a flexible braided fiberglass shielding over a high-heat resistant inner tube.
The central point of the bridge harness is marked with a luminescent indicator to easily align the center of the unit with the root gap. It is important to position the bladders at equal distances from the weld joint to prevent over heating of one side, which could rupture or damage the bladder.
Extended length harnesses offer flexibility to extend placement of the inflatable bladders outside the heat affected zone (HAZ) and to accommodate pre-heating (high-heat) welding applications. Extended length harnesses are available in standard sizes including 12″ (305 mm), 24″ (610 mm), 36″ (914 mm), 48″ (1219 mm) and 72″ (1828 mm). I-Purge sizes 36″ and greater are equipped with a high flow harness to expedite inflation. Custom lengths are available upon request.
To prevent exposure to the HAZ, use an extended length harness appropriate for the situation. These harnesses are sold separately and are available in custom lengths.
I-Purge CAN be used in a pre-heated pipe. For pre-heating and high-heat applications, select an appropriate length of an extended harness to enable placement outside of the heat affected zone (HAZ).
The outer covering on the inflatable bags of I-Purge are the only component which should come into direct contact with the pipe. This material is infused with spark resistant elements which prevent it from catching fire when exposed to sparks and exceedingly hot objects. The outside material of the bladders can withstand temperatures as high as 400°F (205°C). Since the inside of the bladder has a lower heat resistance, it is advisable not to exceed a temperature of 250°F (120°C) for proper operation of the entire system.
I-Purge can accommodate higher temperatures by attaching an extended length harness purchased separately.
I-Purge offers the flexibility of combining modules of different sizes to create a unique configuration. For example, an 8″ (203 mm) module A can be connected to a 4″ (102 mm) module B.
The user MUST NEVER exceed the recommended expansion size labeled on the I-Purge. The unit will not function properly following an over inflation. Refer to manual for details.
If you believe the bladders were overinflated and burst during operation, terminate gas flow immediately. Overinflation can be prevented by adhering to the flow rates listed in the manual. Aquasol does not warrant any overinflation system failures. For more details, review Warranty and System Operation sections of the manual.
I-Purge X and I-Purge (standard) components CANNOT be interchanged. The calibration of the relief valve on I-Purge X is different from the standard I-Purge.
During some applications, the bladder component of the isolator may not be visible, therefore all I-Purge Isolator units are equipped with a pressure relief valve to prevent over inflation of the unit. Therefore, a constant supply of gas must be maintained to keep a tight seal on the pipe wall (Refer to Isolator – System Operation).
