EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
AH/1 steam kettles are stainless steel, floor mounted kettles with a self-
contained steam source heated by gas. A closed steam jacket covers the lower
portion of the kettle. Heat from the gas burner boils water in the jacket to
produce steam under pressure. To ignite the burners, the kettle uses electronic
spark ignition.
The kettles are stationary (non-tilting). Liquids can be removed through the
tangent draw-off valve.
Exposed surfaces are stainless steel. Insulated sheathing protects the kettle
body, and a housing encloses the controls. Three tubular legs support the unit.
Bullet feet adjust to level the kettle.
A one piece dome cover is hinged to the kettle on the 20-gallon (75.7 liters)
model. Covers for 40 and 60-gallon (151.4 and 227 liters) kettles are supplied
with counterbalancing spring actuators to hold the covers in the fully open or
closed position.
Controls provided include the ON/OFF switch, to control electric power for the
unit, and the thermostat, to set the cooking temperature. The automatic controls
and a brief description of each are as follows.
1. Gas pressure regulator: Protects the unit from high pressure in the gas
supply line.
2. Automatic gas valves: Allow gas into the burners as needed.
3. Pressure switch: Turns off the burner when jacket pressure reaches 27 PSI
(186.1 kPa, 1.86 bars). Lights the burner when pressure drops to 22 PSI
(151.6 kPa, 1.52 bars).
4. Safety valve: Lets steam out of the jacket if the steam pressure exceeds 30
PSI (206.7 kPa, 2.06 bars).
5. Low-water cutoff: Turns off the burner if the water level in the jacket gets
too low for safe operation.
Instruments also are provided to show what is happening inside the unit. These are:
1. Water level sight glass: Indicates whether there is enough water in the
steam jacket.
2. Pressure/vacuum gauge: Shows steam pressure, and whether too much air
has entered the jacket.
3. Heating indicator light: Indicates that the kettle is being heated.
4. Power on indicator light: Glows when the unit is turned on.
5. Low water indicator light: Lights to show that jacket water needs to be
replenished.
