Eclipse ThermJet Design Guide No. 205, 3/5/07

Note:
The use of an inlet air filter is strongly recommended. The 
system will perform longer and the settings will be more 
stable.

Note:
When selecting a 60 Hz Blower for use on 50 Hz, a pres-
sure and capacity calculation is required. See Eclipse Com-
bustion Engineering Guide (EFE 825)

The total selection information you should now have:

Blower model number
Motor hp
Motor enclosure (TEFC)
Voltage, number of phases, frequency
Rotation direction (CW or CCW).

Air pressure switch

The air pressure switch gives a signal to the monitoring system 
when there is not enough air pressure from the blower. 
You can find more information on pressure switches in Blower 
Bulletin 610

Warning:
Eclipse supports NFPA regulations, which require 
the use of an air pressure switch in conjunction 
with other safety components,  as a minimum 
standard for main gas safety shut-off systems.

Consult Eclipse

Eclipse can help you design and obtain a main gas shut-off valve 
train that complies with the current safety standards.
The shut-off valve train must comply with all the local safety 
standards set by the authorities that have jurisdiction.

For details, please contact your local Eclipse representative or 
the Eclipse factory.

Note
Eclipse supports NFPA regulations (two shut-off valves) as a 
minimum standard for main gas safety shut-off systems.

Consult Eclipse

The process temperature control system is used to control and 
monitor the temperature of the system. There is a wide variety 
of control and measuring equipment available.

For details, please contact your local Eclipse representative or 
the Eclipse factory.
