Maintenance for Operation with Tap Water or Par-
tially Softened Water
No precise maintenance intervals can be specified because
these always depend on water quality and quantity of steam
generated. It is advisable to adjust the frequency of maintenance
to the specific operational application.
HYGROMATIK recommends to open and check the steam cyl-
inder two weeks after commissioning. Ongoing maintenance
intervals can be estimated based on the amount and type of res-
idue found in the steam cylinder.
Blow-Down Cycles
The vaporization process causes mineral (calcium) deposits of
different compositions to settle in the steam cylinder. Part of this
solid build-up is removed through periodic blow-downs and fresh
tap water refills.
Water quality
When using tap water, note that cleaning intervals shorten as
the carbonate hardness level in the water increases.
As a gen-
eral rule, it is preferable to operate the unit with fully demineral-
ized water. Operation will not be affected by mineral deposits
and flushing losses will be minimized.
If desired, maintenance intervals can be lengthened by mode-
rately increasing blow-down rates. Please consult HygroMatik.
