VENTILATION
Gas fired kettles are only to be installed
under a ventilation hood in a room which
has provisions for adequate make up air.
Further information can be obtained by
referring to the U.S.A. National Fire
Protection Associations NFPA96 regulations. These standards
have also been adopted by the National Building Code in
Canada.
Operation of these units can produce significant levels of steam and
condensate, it is recommended they be installed under a ventilation
hood in a room which has provisions for adequate make up
air. Further information can be obtained by referring to the
U.S.A. National Fire Protection Associations NFPA96
regulations. These standards have also been adopted by the
National Building Code in Canada.
COMPRESSED AIR CONNECTION
Mixer Kettles with an air activated discharge valve require a
minimum of 90 PSI to operate correctly.
If the unit is also supplying air to a Metering Filling Station then a
pressure of 100 PSI at a minimum volume of 25 CFM is required.
The air supplied to the mixer should be clean and dry. No oil should
be added to the supply air. We recommend the compressed air
system be equipped with a drier, filter, and automatic water dump on
the air compressor receiver tank. If the distance between the tank
and the unit is less than 100 feet then a minimum line size of 3/4" is
required. A distance of 100 to 300 feet requires a minimum 1" line.
