START UP
-
Current regional safety regulations should be take in to account and followed.
-
Protective insulation and warning notice may be required.
-
Until the start up of an existing or a new plant, the following must be checked:
-
All works are completed.
-
The steam trap is correctly installed.
-
All the necessary safety devices have been installed.
-
At start up, the presence of small particles in the fluid (dirt, scale, weld splatters, joint particles, remains
of Teflon tape, etc) may cause an imperfect closure of the seat. If this occurs, proceed to an accurate
cleaning.
Periodical checking:
•
24 hours after the start up, it is recommended to check pipe connections for leaks and retighten the connections
if necessary.
MAINTENANCE
•
We recommend the steam traps to be serviced as necessary. Steam traps should be checked periodically (at
least yearly), to verify if they are operating correctly and to clean the internal parts and strainer screen (if any).
•
When reassembling make sure that all gasket faces are clean and always use a new gasket. Tighten cover
bolts uniformly in a diagonal sequence.
•
Maintenance should proceed as follows:
1. Isolation valves should be closed and the pressure and temperature must be atmospheric.
2. Remove the type of connections used.
3. Execute the maintenance work.
4. Replace and tighten the connections. (Don’t forget to substitute the gasket).
5. Consider the start up conditions.
