COMPONENTS
The superheated water boilers
ASX
feature a series of components that can be divided into:
–
Safety components (safety valves, safety pressure switch, safety thermostat).
–
Indicator components (temperature indicator, pressure gauge, flame warning light).
–
Adjustment components (Thermostat).
In the descriptions below, accessories are divided based on the values they control.
PRESSURE
PRESSURE GAUGE
The pressure gauge is of Bourdon type and it consists of a very flat arch-shaped elliptical metal tube and shows the design pressure
on the graduated scale (marked in red). One of the ends is open and it communicated with the inside of the generator whose
pressures is to be measured; the other end, closed and free to move, is connected to the index by a toothed sector lever system.
The pressure gauge is mounted on a three-way valve that allows performing the following operations:
–
Communication between generator and pressure gauge (normal operating position).
–
Communication between pressure gauge and the outside (position needed to purge the siphon).
–
Communication between generator, pressure gauge and sample pressure gauge (position needed for pressure gauge
comparison).
