•
Provisions should be taken to avoid unauthorized personnel to enter in contact with the equipment.
•
This equipment is designed to work within the working temperature and pressure limit conditions stated in the
name-plate and Information Sheet (IS). Check if the product is suitable for the application, to avoid failures.
•
If malfunction of any other equipment or system operation failure may result in a dangerous overpressure, over
temperature or even vacuum condition, a safety device must be included in the system to prevent such situations.
•
The equipment is not intended to withstand external stresses that may be inducted by the system to which it is
being connected to. The installer should assess the risks of the stresses and possible hazardous environment
around the equipment (e.g. temperature, explosion risk areas) and take adequate precautions to minimize them.
•
The complete system (before and after the equipment) should be assessed as well as the different stages of
functioning (e.g. closing of some isolation valves) to ensure this will not bring additional risk to the persons and
equipment.
•
This product has been designed for use with hot condensate, if required to work with other liquid, factory should
be contacted to ensure compatibility.
3. GENERAL INFORMATION
3.1 Description
The ADCAMAT ECRU series electric condensate recovery units are recommended in the transfer of high-temperature
water such as hot condensate, to a higher elevation or pressure. This condensate is usually used as boiler feed water.
The standard models are prepared for flows up to 20m
3
/h, or higher on request.
The units are composed by:
-
Condensate vessel:
Completely manufactured from AISI316 stainless steel, with inlet connections, overflow, air vents, drain, pump
feeding outlets and a magnetic level indicator with bi-stable switches (alternatively it can be fitted with a glass
level gauge and conductive type probes). It is designed to work at atmospheric pressure, and so, it is out of the
scope of Pressure Equipment Directive. The standard connections are flanged PN16, with exception for the
drains that are supplied screwed BSP.
-
Metal frame:
Manufactured from carbon steel, sandblasted and painted. It is designed only to withstand the weight of the filled
vessel, and should not be subject to any other external forces.
-
Electric pumps:
Manufactured from stainless steel or carbon steel capable of handling hot condensate up to 98⁰C and design for
low NPSH.
-
Valves and ancillaries:
Includes full-bore stainless-steel ball valves at the pump suction ports, manual regulating valves for system head
regulation at the pumps discharge pipework’s, strainers and pressure gauges.
-
Control panel:
Metal enclosure rated to IP65 or higher. Features alternating and cascading (simultaneity) functions, pump fault
(trip) indication for each pump, low and high-level alarms, pump dry run inhibitor, operating mode selector switch
and volt-free telemetry terminals for remote stats.
