 1 Safety Communication

Improper operation of dust collectors and/or dust control systems may contribute to conditions in a work area or facility
which could result in severe personal injury, and product or property damage. All dust collection equipment should be
used only for its intended purpose and should be properly selected and sized for its intended use.
Process owners have important responsibilities relating to identifying and addressing potential hazards in their
processes. When the potential for handling combustible dust exists within a process the process owner should include
combustion hazards in their risk management activities and should comply with applicable codes and standards related
to combustible dust.
Electrical installation must be performed by a qualified electrician.
This equipment is not designed to support site ducts, piping, or electrical services. All ducts, piping, or electrical services
must be adequately supported to prevent injury and/or property damage.
Site selection must account for wind, seismic zone, and other load conditions.
Equipment may reach peak sound pressure levels above 80 dB (A). Noise levels should be considered when selecting
collector location.
Most dusts present safety and health hazards that require precautions. Wear eye, respiratory, head and other protection
equipment suitable for the type of dust.
Some components may be heavier than they appear. Use appropriate lifting methods to avoid personal injury and/or
property damage.

Combustible Dust Hazards


Among other considerations, the current NFPA standards require owners whose processes involve potentially combustible
materials to have a current Dust Hazard Analysis, which can serve as the foundation for their process hazard mitigation strategy.
Mitigation may include but is not limited to:
• Prevention of all ignition sources from entering any dust collection equipment.
• Selection and implementation of fire and explosion mitigation, suppression, and isolation strategies appropriate for the
risks in their process.
• Development and use of work practices to maintain safe operating conditions, and to ensure combustible dust does not
accumulate within their plant or process equipment.
Donaldson designs, manufactures, and sells industrial air filtration products for a wide variety of applications. Some applications
may include processes or materials with inherent fire and explosion hazards. Donaldson is neither an expert nor a certified
consultant in fire, spark, or explosion detection, suppression, or control. Donaldson does not provide engineering consulting
services related to process or dust hazard analyses, or code and standard compliance. Complying with applicable codes and
standards and managing the risks associated with the process or materials remains the responsibility of the process owner/
operator. Donaldson may provide referrals to consultants, suppliers of equipment or services related to the detection and/
or mitigation of sparks, fires and/or explosions, but Donaldson does not assume responsibility for any such referrals, nor does
Donaldson assume any liability for the fitness of a mitigation strategy or product for a particular installation or application. The
process owner’s final selection of dust collectors and risk mitigation strategies should be based on the outcome of a Dust Hazard /
Process Hazard Analysis performed by the process owner. Although early engagement of a dust collector supplier provides helpful
insights on the availability and features of various products, process owners should consult with a combustible dust expert and/or a
process safety expert before making actual product and mitigation strategy selections.
Donaldson recommends that all industrial air filtration system designs be reviewed and approved by an expert consultant who is
responsible for the integrity of the system design and compliance with applicable codes and standards. It is the process owner’s
responsibility to understand the risks in their process and mitigate those risks in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations
and standards, including those published by the NFPA. Donaldson also recommends that proper maintenance and housekeeping
procedures and work practices be evaluated, developed, and followed to maintain any industrial air filtration products in safe
operating condition.
Many factors beyond the control of Donaldson can affect the use and performance of Donaldson products in a particular
application, including the conditions under which the product is used. Since these factors are uniquely within the user’s knowledge
and control, it is essential the user evaluate the Donaldson products to determine whether the product is fit for the particular
purpose and suitable for the user’s application. All products, product specifications, and data (airflow, capacity, dimensions, or
availability) are subject to change without notice, and may vary by region or country.

 2 Product Description
The Downflo WorkStation (DWST), is a continuous duty, self contained, modular workstation with cartridge style filters. Continuous
duty means the filters can be pulse cleaned on-line without interrupting airflow through the collector. The filters are pulse-cleaned
in sequence, one at a time, without turning the collector off. The modular design creates a custom collector for each application.
The DWST power module includes a blower, two (2) dust drawers (available in either metal or plastic), a louver air inlet that can be
located in a high or low position, and a ledge less design to reduce dust build up in the collector. Models DWST 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, 4-4,
and DWST 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 power modules can have joining strips to tie modules together.
Optional booths can be applied for all models. Designed to increase versatility of the collector, standard options include heavy duty
wall and ceiling acoustic panels. They also include a ceiling light for each power module on hard sided and roof booths in dust
tight or flush mounting lighting. Soft side weld and acoustical curtain booths are also available with a clear plastic ceiling to allow
plant light to illuminate the booth. Also, a moveable side shield with canopy booth is available for one module and two module
configurations.

Intended Use
The DWST is commonly installed in applications where dust containment from a specific operation is required. Typical applications
include; abrasive blasting, batch mixing and grinding.
While the DWST effectively contains dust generated within the work area, it does not provide source capture of dust and some
noise will be emitted from the booth. The 200 fpm indraft velocity produced by each power module is generally sufficient to prevent
nuisance dust from escaping the DWST.

Abrasive Blasting
Abrasion-resistant options include an open louver inlet and smooth wall booth. Recommended options include: a control panel
for reduced installation expense, flush lights for increased headroom, and ASHRAE or HEPA afterfilters to monitor primary filter
performance for added safety on hazardous dust.

Batch Mixing
Dumping and mixing operations often produce significant amounts of nuisance or hazardous dust. The DWST provides effective
dust control and allows complete freedom of movement. ASHRAE or HEPA afterfilters can be added to monitor primary filter
performance for added safety on hazardous dust.

Grinding
The DWST gives the worker complete freedom of movement while grinding or moving around large or odd-shaped parts. Open-
pleat Fibra-Web or Ultra-Tek® filters are required for the fibrous nature of composite dust. Recommended options include acoustic
panels for a quieter work environment, control panel for reduced installation expense, flush lights for increased headroom, and
HEPA afterfilters to monitor primary filter performance for added confidence on composite dust and for hazardous dust such as
chromium, cadmium, and zinc.

 3 Operation

Electrical work during installation, service or maintenance must be performed by a qualified electrician and comply
with all applicable national and local codes.
Turn power off and lock out all power before performing service or maintenance work.
Turn compressed air supply off, bleed and lock out lines before performing service or maintenance work.
Check that the collector is clear and free of all debris before starting.
Do not install in classified hazardous atmospheres without an enclosure rated for the application.
During normal operation, the power module containing the blower draws dust-laden air from the work space through the filter
cartridges. Dust collects on the outside surface of the filters. Clean, filtered air flows through to the center of the cartridge, through
the clean-air plenum and into the blower silencer plenum. Filtered air exits through the top of the cabinet.
Filter cleaning is completed using pulse-jet technology. A solenoid valve controlled by a solid-state timer and a diaphragm valve
aligned to each filter provides the pulse cleaning. The diaphragm valve sends a pulse of compressed air through the filter cartridge
from the inside out and collected contaminants fall into the dust drawers. At the end of each pulse, the diaphragm valve closes and
the filter cartridge resumes normal operation. One filter cartridge is cleaned per pulse.

 4 Product Service

During any service activities there is some potential for exposure to the dust in the collector. Most dusts present
safety and health hazards that require precautions. Wear eye, respiratory, head and other protection equipment
suitable for the type of dust when performing any service activities.
Use appropriate access equipment and procedures. Note the standard collector is not equipped with access
platforms unless noted on the specification drawings.
LOCK-OUT all energy sources prior to performing any service or maintenance on the equipment.
Electrical service or maintenance work must be performed by a qualified electrician and comply with all applicable
national and local codes.
Turn compressed air supply OFF, bleed and lock out lines before performing service or maintenance work.
Do not set compressed-air pressure above 70-psig as component damage can occur.
All compressed air components must be sized to meet the system requirements of 50-70-psig supply
pressure.
The compressed-air supply must be oil and moisture free. Contamination in the compressed air used to clean filters
will result in poor cleaning, cleaning valve failure, or poor collector performance.
Purge compressed air lines to remove debris before connecting to the collector’s compressed air manifold.

Operational Checklist
1. Monitor the physical condition of the collector and repair or replace any damaged components.
Routine inspections will minimize downtime and maintain optimum system performance. This is particularly important on
continuous-duty applications.
2. Periodically check the compressed air components and replace compressed air filters.
Drain moisture following the manufacturer’s instructions. With the compressed air supply ON, check the cleaning valves,
solenoid valves, and tubing for leaks. Replace as necessary.
3. Monitor pressure drop across filters.
Abnormal changes in pressure drop may indicate a change in operating conditions and possibly a fault to be corrected. For
example, prolonged lack of compressed air will cause an excess build-up of dust on the filters resulting in increased pressure
drop. Cleaning off-line with no airflow usually restores the filters to normal pressure drop.
4. Monitor exhaust.
5. Monitor dust disposal. Empty the dust drawers at the end of each shift, or more frequently if necessary. Dust drawers should
be emptied when they are more than 2/3 full.
6. Check fan wheel set screws. Set screws should be checked and retightened to 10.5 foot pounds for 3/8-in stainless steel
set screws and 25 foot pounds for 1/2-in stainless steel set screws after eight hours of operation and again after 80 hours of
operation.
Set screws on fan wheels must be properly tightened to avoid severe personal injury and/or property damage.

Downflo Workstation, DWST 4-1 to 6-4

Dust Drawer
Dust drawers should be emptied at the end of each shift or more frequently if necessary (when 2/3 full).
1. Pull each dust drawer from the base of the power module.
2. Inspect and remove any residual dust from the base of the power module.
3. Cover the dust drawer to prevent leakage from the drawer during transport, and transport to an appropriate dust disposal
location.
4. Empty the dust from the drawer into an appropriate disposal container
5. Return each drawer to the base of the power module, ensuring the drawers are both inserted fully to the back of the power
module.

Filter Replacement
Most dusts present safety and health hazards that require precautions. Wear eye, respiratory, head and other
protection equipment suitable for the type of dust.
Use proper safety and protective equipment when removing contaminants and filters.
Dirty filters may be heavier than they appear. Use appropriate lifting methods to avoid personal injury and/or property
damage.
Turn power off and lock out all power before performing service or maintenance work.
Turn compressed air supply OFF, bleed and lock out lines before performing service or maintenance work.
Do not operate with missing or damaged filters.

Compressed Air Installation


Turn compressed air supply OFF, bleed and lock out lines before performing service or maintenance work.
A safety exhaust valve should be used to isolate the compressed air supply. The safety exhaust valve should
completely exhaust pressure in the collector manifolds when closed, should be capable of being interlocked with fire
or explosion mitigation equipment and should include provisions to allow closed-position locking.
Do not set compressed-air pressure above 70-psig as component damage can occur.
All compressed air components must be sized to meet the system requirements of 50-psig supply
pressure.
The compressed-air supply must be oil and moisture free. Contamination in the compressed air used to clean filters
will result in poor cleaning, cleaning valve failure, or poor collector performance.
Purge compressed-air lines to remove debris before connecting to the collector’s compressed-air manifold.

1. Connect the compressed-air supply line to the 1-in NPT connection located at the rear of each power module. Use thread-
sealing tape or pipe sealant on all compressed-air connections.
2. Install a customer-supplied shut-off valve, bleed-type regulator with gauge, filter, and automatic condensate valve in the
compressed-air supply line.
3. With power supply ON, check the operation of the solenoid valves. The valves should open and close sequentially at factory
set 10-second intervals.
4. If a Photohelic® gauge, Torit Delta P, Torit Delta P Plus, or similar device is used to control the solid-state timer, the solenoid
valves pulse only when the differential pressure reaches the high-pressure setpoint. The valves continue to pulse until the low-
pressure setpoint is reached. The Torit Delta P Plus will also initiate a downtime clean if the low setpoint has been reached.

Electrical Wiring
Electrical installation, service, or maintenance work must be performed by a qualified electrician and comply with all
applicable national and local codes.
Turn power off and lock out all power before performing service or maintenance work.
Do not install in classified hazardous atmospheres without an enclosure rated for the application.

All electrical wiring and connections, including electrical grounding, should be made in accordance with the National Electric Code
(NFPA No. 70-latest edition).
Check local ordinances for additional requirements that apply.
The appropriate wiring schematic and electrical rating must be used. See collector’s rating plate for required voltage.
An electric disconnect switch having adequate amp capacity shall be installed in accordance with Part IX, Article 430 of the
National Electrical Code (NFPA No. 70-latest edition). Check collector’s rating plate for voltage and amperage ratings.
Refer to the wiring diagram for the number of wires required for main power wiring and remote wiring.

IEC Control Panel with Programmable Logic Control


Electrical work must be performed by a qualified electrician and comply with all applicable national and local codes.
Turn power off and lock out electrical power sources before performing service or maintenance work.
Do not install in classified hazardous atmospheres without an enclosure rated for the application.
This control panel contains a safety disconnect switch, blower motor control, pulse control functions, and a Magnehelic gauge.
The Programmable Logic Control, PLC, provides features such as sequential start-up, staggered aftershift cleaning, and
troubleshooting capabilities.

Blower Control Functions

1. This control panel includes magnetic starters with a low-voltage control circuit.
2. The blower motor ON/OFF buttons are located on the control panel cover. A red blower motor RUNNING light is also provided.
3. Sequential start-up is provided for all DWS 4- and DWS 6- 2, 3, and 4 modules. This allows a delay between starting each
blower motor and reduces undesirable overload current at start-up.
4. The control panel has troubleshooting capabilities. If a blower motor shuts down due to a failure, such as an overload, the
panel will flash the red RUNNING light quickly. The two amber lights, CLEANING and AFTERSHIFT CLEANING, will also flash
indicating which circuit tripped the alarm. For example: The overload on motor protector #3 is tripped. The red RUNNING light
will flash quickly and the two amber lights, CLEANING and AFTERSHIFT CLEANING, will flash three times, then pause and
repeat. This indicates that motor protector #3 has been tripped. The lights will continue to flash until the alarm is serviced.
5. Thermal overload relays and circuit breakers are provided for the motor circuit and fuses for the low voltage circuit. Standard
voltages available are 208/230/460/575/60 Hz/3 phase.

A20
Donaldson Company, Inc.

Pulse Control Functions

1. Each power module has four or six 115-Volt AC solenoid valve enclosure that control four or six diaphragm valves, which
clean the filter cartridges. The control panel PLC controls the solenoids.
2. The two-position switch on the front panel controls the HAND pulsing mode. When in the HAND mode, pulsing is continuous
until the switch is turned to the OFF position or until the blowers are turned off. If hand pulsing is enabled more than once
while the blowers are on, the last solenoid valve fired is remembered and the panel fires the next valve in sequence. Pulsing
will be continuous while the DWS is running. This setting is suggested for high dust loading situations.
3. The aftershift cleaning function is designed to pulse for a designated period of time at the end of the work shift. In this mode,
the noise associated with the pulsing of the filter cartridges can be avoided during work hours.
4. In conjunction with the aftershift pulsing function, a toggle switch located inside the control box turns the blower motors ON
or OFF. When the aftershift push button is activated with the toggle switch in the STAG position, the even-numbered blowers
shut off and the odd-numbered blowers remain on. All valves, starting with number one, are pulsed three times. The even-
numbered blowers turn on and the odd-numbered blowers turn off. All valves are pulsed three times once more. The even-
numbered blowers remain on for three minutes, when all blowers are shut down, and the system is deactivated.
Note: Route wiring through the conduit holes located in the rear of the power module. A conduit hole is also located in the
blower panel above the solenoid valves. All conduit holes are sized for 3/4-in fittings. Secure all conduit in the blower
plenum and in the solenoid plenum. Seal conduit to prevent air from passing through to the control panels.

When the aftershift button is activated in single power module collectors, the blower turns off and each valve pulses three times.
The blower turns on, the valves pulse three more times, and both blower and pulsing turn off.
When the aftershift-cleaning button is pushed, the amber light illuminates and the pulse sequence is initiated. The pulse sequence
continues until terminated by the aftershift-cleaning timer. This timer, located inside the control box, is factory set for a specified
length of time depending upon how many power modules are used. The timer for a single power module is set at 3 minutes, two
module at 6 minutes, three module at 9 minutes, and four module at 12 minutes. This allows each pair of filter cartridges to be
pulse cleaned six times at the end of the shift. If experience indicates that more time is required to pulse clean the filter cartridges,
the timer can be adjusted from the factory setpoint to a maximum of 100 hours.

if applicable, the collector is ready for initial start and commissioning.
1. Check all electrical connections for tightness and contact.
2. Check that fan wheel set screws are properly torqued (10.5 foot pounds for 3/8-in stainless steel set screws and 25 foot
pounds for 1/2-in stainless steel set screws) prior to initial start-up.
Set screws on fan wheels must be properly tightened to avoid severe personal injury and/or property damage.

3. Check for proper rotation as noted on the fan housing.


Do not look into fan outlet to determine rotation. View the fan rotation through the back of the motor.
Check that the exhaust plenum is free of tools or debris before checking blower/fan rotation.
Stand clear of exhaust to avoid personal injury.
Do not interchange a power lead with the ground wire. Severe personal injury and/or property damage may result.
a. “Bump” the fan to initiate rotation. Momentarily hit the ON button followed by the OFF button.
b. As the fan is winding down (unpowered) use a flashlight to visually observe the direction of fan rotation through the roof
opening.
c. Compare fan rotation to the rotation label (located adjacent to the fan) direction.
4. If the fan rotation is reversed, correct the rotation.
To reverse rotation, single-phase power supply: Follow manufacturer’s instructions on the motor’s nameplate.
To reverse rotation, three-phase power supply: Switch any two leads on the motor junction box.
a. Turn off the collector and Lock-Out all energy sources.
b. Within the top mounted junction box, swap the connection location of two power leads on the terminal block, making
certain not to swap a power lead and the ground wire.
Do not interchange a power lead with a ground wire or severe personal injury and/or property damage may result.

5. All access panels should be sealed and secure.


6. Check that the dust drawers are properly installled.
7. Check and remove all loose items in or near the inlet and outlet of the collector.
8. Check that all remote controls and solenoid enclosures (if applicable) are properly wired and all service switches are in the
OFF position.
9. Check that all optional accessories are installed properly and secured.
10. Check that filters are secure by turning the filter knob clockwise. Turn by hand only. Do not use a wrench.
11. Turn power ON at source.
12. Turn the compressed-air supply ON. Adjust pressure regulator for 50-psig.
13. Turn blower fan motor ON.
14. If equipped, set the Photohelic gauge low setpoint to 2-in wg, the high setpoint to 4-in wg, and zero the indicator needle.
15. Once powered, verify the Delta P (or Delta P Plus) comes “on line” and shows a filter restriction of near zero on the digital
display.
16. Using the Delta P (or Delta P Plus) Installation Manual as a guide, confirm the values of the Low, High, and Alarm set points.
During normal operation the DWST will not begin to pulse clean until filter resistance reaches or exceeds the High set point.
17. Set the selector switch to the type of cleaning required.
Optional IEC Control Panel: HAND is continuous clean, OFF is aftershift cleaning.
Note: If aftershift cleaning is selected, set the toggle switch located inside the control panel to ON or STAG (staggered) and
zero the Magnehelic® gauge needle.
18. Repeat steps 2-3 to confirm fan rotation.
19. Verify the dust drawers are pushed as far back in the collector as possible. Frequently check the dust bin level and empty as
appropriate.
20. Log the date of initial operation and begin operation.
21. Verify display gauges are reading a positive value.

Decommissioning Collector
Once the collector has reached the end of operational life it will need to be decommissioned.

During decommissioning, there is potential for exposure to the dust in the collector. Most dusts present safety and
health hazards that require precautions. Wear eye, respiratory, head and other protection equipment suitable for the
type of dust when performing any decommissioning activities.
LOCK-OUT all energy sources prior to performing any decommissioning activities on the equipment.
Electrical service must be performed by a qualified electrician.
Disconnection of compressed air must be performed by a qualified pipe fitter.
Disconnection of ducts must be performed by a qualified tinsmith or contractor.
1. Turn off the collector and Lock-Out all energy sources.
2. Remove all filters from the collector and dispose of in a suitable fashion for the dust in the collector. (See Filter Replacement
for instructions). Close and secure front access doors after filters are removed.
3. Remove and empty the dust drawers of any residual dust.
4. Disconnect compressed air supply from the collector and remove any associated pipe or fittings from the exterior of the
collector.
5. Disconnect electrical power from the collector and remove any associated conduit or hardware from the exterior of the
collector.
6. Seal the inlet and discharge openings of the collector with shipping covers to prevent residual dust from migrating from the
collector during transport for disposal.
7. Remove anchor bolts and hardware from the collector.
8. Pick up the collector and place in a location suitable to prepare it for transportation. (See Lifting Information for lifting
guidance.)
9. Secure the collector to a suitable transport carrier and transport to a disposal site suitable for the dust in the collector.
