NR 469.04 NR 469.04 Batch vapor and in-line cleaning machine standards.

NR 469.04(1) (1) Except as provided in s. NR 469.08 for all cleaning machines, each owner or operator of a solvent cleaning machine subject to the provisions of this chapter shall ensure that each existing or new batch vapor or in-line solvent cleaning machine subject to the provisions of this chapter conforms to the design requirements specified in pars. (a) to (g). The owner of operator of a continuous web cleaning machine shall comply with the requirements of s. NR 469.073 or 469.077, as appropriate, in lieu of complying with this paragraph.

NR 469.04 Note Note: Owners and operators of batch vapor and in-line cleaning machines should also refer to ss. NR 469.05 and 469.06.

NR 469.04(1)(a) (a) Each cleaning machine shall be designed or operated to meet one of the following requirements:

NR 469.04(1)(a)1. 1. Equip the cleaning machine with an idling and downtime mode cover, as described in s. NR 469.05 (1) (a), that may be readily opened or closed, that completely covers the cleaning machine openings when in place, and is free of cracks, holes and other defects.

NR 469.04(1)(a)2. 2. Use reduced room draft as described in s. NR 469.06 (2) (b).

NR 469.04(1)(b) (b) Each cleaning machine shall have a freeboard ratio of 0.75 or greater.

NR 469.04(1)(c) (c) Each cleaning machine shall have an automated parts handling system capable of moving parts or parts baskets at a speed of 3.4 meters per minute (11 feet per minute) or less from the initial loading of parts through removal of cleaned parts.

NR 469.04(1)(d) (d) Each vapor cleaning machine shall be equipped with a device that shuts off the sump heat if the sump liquid solvent level drops to the sump heater coils. This requirement does not apply to a vapor cleaning machine that uses steam to heat the solvent.

NR 469.04(1)(e) (e) Each vapor cleaning machine shall be equipped with a vapor level control device that shuts off sump heat if the vapor level in the vapor cleaning machine rises above the height of the primary condenser.

NR 469.04(1)(f) (f) Each vapor cleaning machine shall have a primary condenser.

NR 469.04(1)(g) (g) Each cleaning machine that uses a lip exhaust shall be designed and operated to route all collected solvent vapors through a properly operated and maintained carbon adsorber that meets the requirements of s. NR 469.06 (2) (g).

NR 469.04(2) (2) Except as provided in s. NR 469.08, each owner or operator of an existing or new batch vapor cleaning machine shall comply with either par. (a) or (b).

NR 469.04(2)(a) (a) Each owner or operator of a batch vapor cleaning machine with a solvent/air interface area of 1.21 square meters (13 square feet) or less shall comply with the requirements specified in either subd. 1. or 2.

NR 469.04(2)(a)1. 1. Employ one of the control combinations listed in Table 1 or other equivalent methods of control determined using the procedures in sub. (4).
