Water Heater:  The water heater is a 4-inch flanged type 18 kW electric heater.  The heater is 
housed in a self-insulating chamber to minimize heat losses and includes an over temperature 
thermocouple to shut off the heater in case of malfunction.  The heater will also be shut off by 
the controller in the case of a low water level or high water temperature alarm.  Confirm that the 
voltage requirements of the heater match that of the incoming three phase power supply before 
operation.

   8. 

Water Pump:  The water pump is available in either 120 or 240 VAC.  Inlet and outlet ports are 

3

4

" NPT and the assembly comes with unions for quick disconnection.  The main function of the 

water pump is to circulate the water past the water heater to increase heat transfer efficiency.  The 
pump is designed to automatically shut down should a low water level alarm condition exist.

  7. Alarms and Features

 

  Refer to Table 4 for a description, and action of all alarms incorporated into the vaporizer unit.  Note 

that while some alarms take preventative action themselves, an operator should always monitor an 
alarm situation and take preventative action if need be or the situation persists.  For information on 
troubleshooting techniques see Section V.

 

  The vaporizer controller is equipped with a red LED for alarm indication.  All relevant alarms will 

appear on the alarm screen in two second intervals should multiple alarm conditions exist.

Alarm

Description

Action Taken by Controller

Low Superheat

The temperature of the outlet gas is less 
than the alarm value.

Shut off the electronic pressure reducing 
valve until desired superheat is achieved.

High Cl

2

 Pressure

Pressure in the chlorine pressure chamber 
exceeds the alarm value.

Shut off the heater.  Action must be 
taken by user to reduce pressure.  See 
troubleshooting.

Low Water Temp

The water tank temperature out of the 
heater is less than the alarm value.

Shut off pressure reducing valve until 
desired water temperature is achieved.

High Water Temp

The water tank temperature is above the 
alarm value.

Water heater is shut off until water 
temperature is below the alarm value.

Low Water Level

Water is below minimum operating level.

Shut off heater, pump, and pressure 
reducing valve.  Open water solenoid 
until desired water level is achieved.

Water Overfill

The water level exceeds that of the water 
tank.

None.  Action must be taken by user.  
See troubleshooting.

EXP Burst Disc

The rupture disc of an expansion chamber 
assembly has blown.  Pressure switch must 
be wired into main controller for actuation.

None.  Action must be taken by user.  
See troubleshooting.

PRV Burst Disc

The rupture disc of the pressure relief 
assembly has blown.  Pressure switch must 
be wired into main controller for actuation.

None.  Action must be taken by user.  
See troubleshooting.
