Troubleshooting
NEVER apply direct heat to the float. The float may explode due to
increased internal pressure, causing accidents leading to serious injury
or damage to property and equipment.
WARNING
・
Repairs or disassembly of the piping, adjustment and valve opening/
closing should be carried out only by trained maintenance personnel.
・
Before connecting piping or disassembling the product, close the inlet
and outlet valves and make every effort to reduce the internal pressure
to cool the product to room temperature.
・
When disassembling connecting parts, remove pipes and bolts slowly to
prevent condensate from suddenly flowing out in the event of residual
pressure inside the product.
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
When the desired performance is not attained with the system, in many cases it is due to
the following:
(1) Loose chips from pipe cutting and tapping and/or welding scraps or sealant get
caught in the intake valve (motive medium) or check valve and prevent them from
closing/operating properly.
(2) Changes in the amount of condensate inflow, motive pressure or back pressure that
are in excess of the original design.
Since successful operation of the PowerTrap system depends on the proper design and
installation of the system, investigate the entire system to locate the source of problems
when they occur. When no source can be identified, inspect the PowerTrap and take
whatever action is necessary.
Determining the Problem from the Symptoms
Use the “Types of Failure and their Causes” table on the following page to determine the
cause of the problem from the type of abnormality that has occurred. Apply the
corrective measures listed in the “Causes and Corrective Measures” table.
