We strongly recommend that you use the service and support of a Spirax Sarco commissioning 

engineer. Details of this service can be found by contacting Spirax Sarco. 

Note:

 Pre-commissioning requirements: 

In most new installations, dirt collects in the steam pipeline during construction of the system. It 

is essential to flush this out prior to commissioning. 

Ensure the secondary (cold side) of the system is charged and all air is bled from the system. 

Ensure that all main isolation valves for both steam and water are isolated. 

Ensure that the electrical supply to the Spirax SpiraHeat

TM

 is isolated. 

Double check that all steam, condensate and water connections are correctly connected to 

the Spirax SpiraHeat

TM

Check all flange bolts are tight. 

4.1 Mechanical commissioning procedure: 

Check that all of the electrical connections 

are secure and as per the wiring diagram 

(Section 3.3, Figure 4). 

Dry commissioning valve stroke check - An 

initial valve stroke check should be carried out 

to ensure free movement of the valve stem. 

1. 

For the electric actuated control valve, use 

the manual override on top of the actuator 

to raise and lower the actuator spindle 

between the two travel indicators located 

on the side of the pillar (Figure 6). Siemens 

electric valves can be manually opened 

by pressing and turning the handwheel 

clockwise.

2. 

For the pneumatic actuated control valve, 

remove the existing air supply and connect 

an independent air supply to the actuator 

(pressure not to exceed 85 psi g (6 bar g), 

allow the valve to fully open, remove the air 

supply from the actuator allowing the valve 

to close. Reconnect the original pipework 

(Figure 7). 

Open the secondary (cold side) isolating 

valves downstream of the Spirax SpiraHeat

TM

Start the main secondary water circulating 

pump(s), if fitted. 

Check and confirm there is secondary water 

circulation through the Spirax SpiraHeat

TM

Once circulation is confirmed, switch on 

the main power to the control panel (local 

isolator). 

Turn the control panel isolation switch to ‘ON’.
