Instruction Manual, doc.nr.: MAN18206 Rev A PSC
Fluid/gas under pressure
: Steam/water can escape when dismantling various parts.
Manipulation of heavy and/or loose parts
: When changing diaphragms, heavy pump sides and pipes need to
be disassembled. Make sure to have pulleys and assistance available.
Pre-stressed springs
: Between the diaphragms and sides of each cylinder, a pre-stressed spring is mounted.
Electrical parts
: Make sure to cut the power of the frequency controller and motor(s) of the pump(s)
Human error
: A Clayton pump is fairly complex. Make sure to foresee operator and maintenance training.
Automation
: the generator and pumps can be operated via a remote control

COIL AND STEAM / WATER SEPARATOR
CAUTION !
Testing of Safety valves
Open bonnet or spindle guides( Danger from leaking media):
Make sure that no danger can arise from
leaking media. Keep a SAFE distance. Wear suitable protective equipment.
Hot medium(Burns or scalding):
Wear suitable protective equipment.
Hot surfaces:
Burns.
Hot surfaces
: Hot feed water from the pump is pumped into the coil under pressure. As mentioned in the
“general” instructions, caution should be taken during repair or maintenance due to the temperature of the
piping and equipment. During dismantling or opening of parts steam and/or water could escape. This
especially goes true for the inspection calibration flange of the steam collector. A calibration pressure gauge
can be installed on this flange to monitor the calibration of the different measuring devices.
Frost
: Do maintenance if a generator is not used during cold periods. Be aware of the fact that in cold
periods, the water in the coil/separator can be icy.
Parts sticking out
: are present.
Difference in height and obstacles
: The coil is mounted vertically. Use ladders or platforms during
maintenance on upper parts.
Fluid/gas under pressure
: Be aware of the fact that steam and/or water can escape when opening or
dismantling various parts.
Water hammer
: During manual operation of the valves, the steam/water mixtures cause water hammer.
Vacuum
: created by the cooling down of steam/hot water. In generator parts closed off from the air and
filled with steam and/or hot water, a vacuum can be created after cooling. When opening these areas, a
strong suction can be created.
Electrical parts
: make sure to cut off the electricity from motors and pumps.
Automation
: the generator and pumps can be operated from a distance, as well as the steam generator itself.
2.4.4
FUEL AND AIR PIPING
Badly ventilated boiler rooms : The heating coil is surrounded by an air cover under a predefined over
pressure. As a result combustion gasses cannot leave the generator but only escape via the chimney.
However, if this system fails, combustion gasses can get into the boiler room. This problem could occur
when the air supply to the ventilator is blocked and hence no overpressure can be build up. Also poisonous
CO gas can be formed due to lack of oxygen. Therefore always make sure to close the gas street manually
and secure it via a lock, if maintenance or repair is needed.
