RED DRAGON ELECTRONIC PROPANE FLARE

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Red Dragon Electronic Propane Flare is specifically designed for evacuating LP liquid or vapor from containers. It is not suitable for other gases or flammable liquids, and misuse will void warranties. Proper training and adherence to safety regulations are crucial for safe operation.
Specifications: The flare comes in three models: PF-12 LPS (6,900,000 BTU/hr), PF-14 LPS (38,000,000 BTU/hr), and PF-16 LPS (48,300,000 BTU/hr). All components are UL or CSA listed, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
Safety Information: The flare must not be operated unattended. A safe area with a 40-foot radius and 50 feet of vertical clearance is required. A separate pilot cylinder should be used, and the tank being evacuated should never be used as the pilot source.
Required Equipment: Additional equipment includes a pilot fuel source (minimum 5-gallon LP cylinder), an adjustable wrench, gloves, eye protection, and weights for the tripod if used on pavement.
Assembly Instructions: Assembly involves setting up the tower, attaching the electrode box, pilot torch, and evacuation flare tube, and connecting hoses to the solenoid control box. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free.
Operating Instructions: Before operation, ensure all connections are leak-free. The pilot torch should light automatically when the main switch is turned on. If the pilot fails to ignite, repeat the ignition process. The system will monitor and attempt to relight the pilot if it goes out.
Shut Down Procedures: Turn off the tank valve, switch off the remote and main switches, close the pilot tank valve, and disconnect the unit from the power supply.
Maintenance: Regularly check and tighten screws in the control box, store the unit in a dry place, and always check for leaks before use.
Troubleshooting: Ensure electrodes are correctly positioned if ignition issues occur. The flare can operate in winds up to 25 mph but may not function in rain. Use separate cylinders for lengthy operations to avoid pilot fuel depletion.
Warnings: High voltage sparks can cause injury or death. Do not service the unit if you have a pacemaker.
Specifications and Operating Conditions: The document highlights the impact of temperature on the flaring process, noting that frost accumulation on the flare tube can be flammable. It advises replacing the pilot tank with a larger cylinder if pressure is lost or freezing occurs. Flaring speed is affected by the pressure in the evacuation tank and the outside temperature, with higher temperatures increasing the flaring rate.
Extreme Conditions: Components of the Ignition and Solenoid Control Box are not designed for temperatures above 125°F (54°C) or below -20°F (-32°C).
Troubleshooting Tips: The document provides troubleshooting tips and operational rules for the propane flare.
Replacement Parts List: A detailed list of replacement parts for various components of the propane flare system is included, with descriptions and part numbers for easy identification.
Contact Information: Flame Engineering, Inc. provides contact details for further assistance or inquiries.
