Startup Procedure
Heating/Liquid Cooling Applications
1.
Start product pump using product or compatible liquid, such
as water.
2.
After product flow is established, start Votator II mutator shaft
motor.
Do not run Votator II without product flow.
3.
Establish operating pressure.
NOTE:
Maintain an operating pressure that will result in desired
product characteristics. In heating applications, operating
pressure should be at a minimum of 15 pounds above jacket
steam pressure. This will eliminate internal boiling and fouling of
product side of heat transfer cylinder.
4.
Gradually admit dry, saturated steam or coolant to reach
system operating temperature. For steam units, open steam
valve and immediately open bypass valve at trap to drain
condensate. Close bypass valve after all condensate is
drained.
5.
If running material other than product, switch to product and
adjust to desired processing rate.
6.
When operating conditions have been reached, redirect
product to desired out-flow point.
Refrigeration Applications - Pumped and Gravity
Systems
1.
Start product pump using product or compatible liquid, such
as water.
2.
After product flow is established, start Votator II mutator shaft
motor.
Do not run Votator II without product flow.
3.
Turn cylinder refrigeration "on".
4.
Adjust back pressure control valve on accumulator to
approximately 20 psig above normal operating pressure.
5.
Gradually reduce setting on back pressure control valve to
obtain proper product temperature.
6.
If running material other than product, switch to product and
adjust to desired processing rate.
7.
When operating conditions have been reached, redirect
product to desired out-flow point.
