SEAL SYSTEMS - STEAM
9. Cold Environments
For environments with low ambient temperatures, winterization features
may be added to the Plan 74 Steam control panel. These may include:
•
The panel may be supplied mounted in a heated enclosure. The heating
element requires electrical connection as part of the installation and
assembly procedure (see Section 6.2)
•
Heat tracing and/or insulation may be required to maintain the
temperature of the steam in the Plan 74 Steam control panel. This
heat tracing and/or insulation may be supplied with the Plan 74 Steam
control panel, or may be applied on site around all pipework and
components during installation and assembly, leaving room to read
instruments and operative valves.
•
Heat tracing is likely to only be required during start-up or standby
conditions.
•
Care must be taken during commissioning and operation, that the
Plan 74 Steam control panel is brought up to operating temperature
before the machine is started, and the correct temperature is
maintained throughout operation.
