Eclipse Packaged Gas BoostPak, V2, Installation Guide 630-2, 6/22/2010
Operation
Introduction
In this chapter, you will find instructions on how to start
and stop the booster system. Become familiar with
booster control methods before operating the equipment.
Ŷ
The BoostPak system, described herein, is
designed to increase gas pressure to an appliance.
All fuel handling devices are capable of producing
fires and explosions if improperly applied,
installed, adjusted, controlled, or maintained.
Ŷ
Do not bypass any safety feature; fire or explosion
could result. Never try to operate a BoostPak if it
shows signs of damage or malfunction.
1.
Be sure the inlet and outlet valves are open. On model
MH, make sure both heat exchanger isolation valves
are open.
2.
Turn the main disconnect switch on.
The green POWER ON light comes on.
3.
Check for ALARM conditions and correct before
proceeding.
4.
Turn the control switch to AUTO.
The BoostPak is in operation.
• For Continuous Operation mode, the booster will
run within 15 seconds of the switch operation.
• For Appliance On Demand mode, the booster will
run within 15 seconds of the closure of the
appliance run interlock contact.
The booster motor starter contact closes, the motor starts
running, and the yellow BOOSTER ON light comes on.
The LOW GAS light will flash on and off until the outlet gas
pressure switch makes contact. If it does not make contact
within 15 seconds, the red LOW GAS light comes on
steady and the alarm sounds.
Heat Exchanger Loop Operation
For model MH, the heat exchanger will operate when the
temperature sensed in the outlet pipe exceeds the set
point and deviation alarm value, which is 125°F with
factory default settings. The temperature controller
adjusts the position of the automatic butterfly valve in the
heat exchanger loop to keep the outlet gas temperature
below this maximum value.
Alarm Silence
To silence the alarm, press the ALARM SILENCE button.
Shutdown
The booster can be stopped by:
• Opening the run interlock contact (appliance
dedicated control mode)
• Turning the control switch to off
• Turning the main disconnect switch off
When shutting the system down to prevent operation, turn
the main disconnect switch off and turn off the main power
supply to the control panel.
