PRESSURE RELIEF
VALVE TESTING
PROCEDURE
The pressure relief valve must be
checked at least twice a year as part
of the normal maintenance performed.
1.
With the kettle empty, fully open the steam valve and
allow the kettle to preheat.
2.
Stand to the side of the pressure relief valve discharge tube and
pull valve open for a maximum of one second. Repeat test three
to four times. Each time the mechanism should move freely and
be accompanied by a rapid escape of steam.
Þ
If valve appears to be sticking replace pressure relief valve.
Þ
If foreign material is discharged then drain kettle and
replace pressure relief valve.
STEAM TRAP
To remove condensate that forms inside the steam jacket,
each kettle should be equipped with a steam trap in the line of
the kettle outlet to the drain. A good steam trap at startup
releases air and wet steam into the drain line for a few minutes,
then holds the steam in the jacket. During cooking, the trap
periodically releases accumulated condensate. If the kettle's
cooking performance becomes inadequate after long use,
replacement of the steam trap with a new one may restore
kettle operation to peak efficiency.
DRAW-OFF VALVE
To correct a leak at the draw-off valve, the source of the leak
must first be determined, Leaks from around the valve stem are
corrected by simply replacing the “O” ring. Faulty seating of the
valve stem disc against the valve body may cause dripping from
the valve even when the valve is tightly closed. This can often
be corrected by cleaning any residue from the disc and seat
.
MAINTENANCE
ALL SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
This kettle requires very little preventative maintenance other than daily cleaning.
The pressure relief valve must be tested twice a year.
