MAINTENANCE

GENERAL
TORREXX vaporizer is designed for long term trouble free operation. Because
of the nature of their use, and the severe duty they receive, it is important to
provide scheduled maintenance. The maintenance schedule, type and
frequency, provided in this manual is the minimum maintenance required for
proper operation of the vaporizer. Ambient conditions surrounding the vaporizer
installation and LPG quality may require a more frequent maintenance schedule.
A list of RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS is located in the appendix section of
this manual.
CAUTION
The equipment described in this manual is designed to operate with
LP gas, a flammable fuel under pressure. The nature of the
application involves inherent hazards that could result in injury.
ONLY a trained and fully qualified person should service this
equipment.
CAUTION
Before performing maintenance on the vaporizer,
Disconnect and lock out power to the vaporizer to prevent electric
shock.
Be sure the LP-gas supply is shut off and the vaporizer is completely
purged. Ensure ALL sources of ignition are extinguished within 25 feet
of the work area.
Initial Installation & Operation Inspections:
Required 30-60 days after initial installation
Component Action Required
Inlet Strainer Inspect strainer and remove accumulated debris. Note: if debris accumulation is
heavy check every 3-6 months.
Electronic wiring and
connections Check primary terminal lug tension. Inspect electrical connections for loose wires
and any indication of heat build-up.
Heat exchanger &
drip legs Check all drip legs and vaporizer for heavy ends and oil build-ups. If present, first
ensure there are no sources of ignition within 25 feet, then drain heavy ends.
NOTE: In areas where LPG quality is poor it may be necessary for the drip legs
and heat exchanger to be checked for heavy ends more frequently (monthly or bi-
monthly depending on quality of LPG). Once it is verified that no significant
quantity of heavy ends are accumulating during vaporizer operation, this
maintenance can be performed on an annual basis.
