Operation and Periodic Inspection
•
After all piping work has been completed in accordance with the
specific piping system designed when the decision to utilize the
PowerTrap was made, check once again to make sure that all pipe
connections have been tightened, gaskets have been inserted where
needed and all parts are securely installed.
•
When beginning operation, make sure that the operator stays well clear
of the release area of the vent line and overflow piping.
At the start-up of operation, large quantities of condensate may flow,
causing the PowerTrap to momentarily overload. If this occurs in open
systems, hot condensate may spurt from the vent piping or overflow
piping and could result in burns, other injuries or damage to equipment.
WARNING
DO NOT use this product outside the recommended operating pressure,
temperature and other specification ranges. Improper use may result in
such hazards as damage to the product or malfunctions which may
lead to serious accidents. Local regulations may restrict the use of this
product to below the conditions quoted.
CAUTION
When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the internal
pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product
has cooled to room temperature. Disassembling or removing the
product when it is hot or under pressure may lead to discharge of fluids,
causing burns, other injuries or damage.
CAUTION
Be sure to use only the recommended components when repairing the
product, and NEVER attempt to modify the product in any way. Failure to
observe these precautions may result in damage to the product or burns
or other injury due to malfunction or the discharge of fluids.
CAUTION
Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, and adjustment should be
done only by trained maintenance personnel.
Operation
(1) Valve Operation
Refer to the drawings in “Installation” on pages 8 and 9 to become familiar with the
symbols used for the various valves.
If water hammer has occurred, immediately cease operation and close any valves
that are operating.
a) Slowly open the valve [Ve] on the exhaust pipe.
b) Slowly open the valve [Vm] on the motive medium supply pipe.
Make sure that there is no sound of flow from the exhaust pipe [Se] or the
condensate inlet pipe [Si].
c) Slowly open the valve [Vo] on the condensate outlet pipe.
d) Slowly open the valve [Vi] on the condensate inlet pipe.
When using a manual valve [Va] for venting air on a closed system, leave the
valve [Va] slightly open until the
PowerTrap
has cycled 2 or 3 times in order to
release any air inside the system, then close the valve [Va].
e) The
PowerTrap
is normal if it operates intermittently; first exhausting the motive
medium to fill with condensate, then taking in motive medium to force the
condensate out.
!
The interval of operation will vary greatly depending on the amount of
condensate inflow, the temperature, the motive medium (steam or gas) and the
