For Your Safety

The following WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and NOTES appear in various chapters of this manual. They are repeated on these safety summary pages as an example and for emphasis.
WARNINGS must be observed to prevent serious injury or death to personnel. CAUTIONS must be observed to prevent damage or destruction of equipment or loss of operating effectiveness. NOTES must be observed for essential and effective operating procedures, conditions, and as a statement to be highlighted.
It is the responsibility and duty of all personnel involved in the operating and maintenance of this equipment to fully understand the WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and NOTES by which hazards are to be eliminated or reduced. Personnel must become familiar with all aspects of safety and equipment prior to operation or maintenance of the equipment.
Caution Some soaps used for leak testing are corrosive to certain types of metals. Rinse all piping thoroughly with clean water after leak check has been completed.
Note Where a condensate return tank is to be fitted, this should: 1. Be vented 2. Have a capacity sufficient to satisfy boiler consumption as well as maintain proper return tank temperature.
3. Vent pipe should not be downsized (This may cause pressure build up in the condensate tank.) 4. Return pipes must not be insulated. This can cause overheating the return system, causing a vapor lock in the pump. 5. See return system instruction manual for detailed instructions.
Note Care should be taken to ensure that the blow off receptacle used meets the regulations covering such vessels. If in doubt consult a Fulton Representative for advice.
Only properly trained personnel should install and maintain water gauge glass and connections. Wear safety glasses during installation. Before installing, make sure all parts are free of chips and debris.
Keep gauge glass in original packaging until ready to install. Never operate with lucite gauge glass guard removed or without brass rods for gauge glass protection kit.
Warning Improper installation or maintenance of gauge glass and connections can cause immediate or delayed breakage resulting in bodily injury and/or property damage.
Warning Under no circumstances should the water softener water flow limit be exceeded.
Note After installation is complete and prior to operation the pressure vessel should be cleaned. Note a) The non-fused disconnect switch on the control panel that controls the feed water pump should be kept in the on position at all times during the boiler operation as well as during the nonoperating period of the boiler.
b) This switch should be turned off only when repairs or adjustments should be made.
The pump will continue to operate until the water reaches the correct level in the SteamPac. This level is approximately the center of the water gauge glass.
Warning Prior to the commencement of any work requiring the removal of cover plates and the opening of the control panel box, the electrical supply to the boiler must be disconnected.
When stopping the SteamPac for any extensive repairs, shut off main disconnect switches on both the boiler side as well as the feed water side.

Section 2 Installation
1. Introduction a) This manual is provided as a guide to the correct operation and maintenance of your unfired steam generator, and should be permanently available to the staff responsible for the operation and maintenance of the unfired steam generator. These instructions must not be considered as a complete code of practice, nor should they replace existing codes or standards that may be applicable. b) In the event that you require after sales service, Fulton Thermal Corporation has a complete staff of field service technicians, and spare parts are available direct from the factory. Should you require additional information or assistance on the operation and maintenance of your unfired steam generator, please contact the Fulton service department at (315) 298-7148 or contact your local Fulton Representative.
2. Placement
a) Proper placement of your unfired steam generator is essential. Attention paid to the following points will save a great deal of difficulty in the future. Correct placement is the first step to trouble free installation, operation and maintenance.
3. Transport
a) Fulton SteamPacs are skid mounted. Rollers should be placed beneath the frame of the skid or the fork lift holes in the bottom of the skid may be utilized for positioning in the installation area.
4. Location
1. Authorities with jurisdiction over any national, local or insurance codes should be consulted prior to installation to assure compliance. 2. The unfired steam generator should be located as close as possible to the steam users in order to keep condensation & pressure drop to a minimum. 3. A level, hard surface of non-combustible material is required as a suitable base for mounting the unit. It is suggested that a 4 containment curb be installed completely around the unit. In the event of a spill of thermal fluid, the curb will help contain the fluid.
5. Access
1. Access around the unfired steam generator should be provided to facilitate maintenance. Place the SteamPac with clearances to unprotected combustible materials including plaster or combustible supports not less than the clearances listed in the table below.
Pipes should not be run within 10 of any control cabinets or combustible material. All SteamPacs will also require a minimum clearance overhead for personnel access. In cases where available height is insufficient, a roof or ceiling trap might be considered.
6. Clearance
a) Front/Vertical: TBD-Consult the end assembly drawing for the tube bundle removal length specific to the model purchased. b) Sides: c) Rear: 18 (0.5m) 18 (0.5m)
7. Installation Check Points

a) Make sure all piping connections are complete and tight. b) Make sure the pressure controls are adjusted properly. c) Make sure all electrical connections in the control panel box, the water column, and elsewhere are secure.
Note After installation is complete and prior to operation the pressure vessel should be cleaned.
In general, ensure that the SteamPac area is in conformance with established boiler room requirements. Review national and local codes.
Note Where a condensate return tank is to be fitted, this should: 1. Be vented to a safe location 2. Have a capacity sufficient to satisfy boiler consumption as well as maintain proper return tank temperature. 3. Vent pipe should not be downsized (this may cause pressure build up in the condensate tank). 4. Return pipes should not be insulated. This can cause overheating the return system, causing a vapor lock in the pump.
5. See Return System Instruction Manual for detailed instructions.
Care should be taken to ensure that the blow off receptacle used meets the regulations covering such vessels. If in doubt consult a Fulton Representative for advice.
d) Make sure two check valves are installed between the SteamPac and feedwater pump. e) An end of the line trap should be installed in the SteamPac steam header. f) There are three valves on the SteamPac: the main blowdown valve, the gauge glass drain valve, and the water column drain valve. The SteamPac blow off valve supplied with the SteamPac should be installed on the blow off pipe and connected to a blow off receptacle of approved design. g) With a pressure transducer, this control sends out a 4 20 ma signal to modulate the thermal fluid valve. The controller also sends out a 120V signal to energize an air solenoid on the modulating valve. In the event the steam pressure exceeds the set point by (X) PSI, the valve will de-energize sending the modulating valve to its fail position. h) All these procedures should be done in accordance with state and/or local codes. The water column blow off valve and the gauge glass blow off valve should be connected to the main blow off line.
Caution Do not tamper with the safety features of the low water safety cut out.
i)
Pressure Relief Valve 1. Limits maximum operating pressure of the SteamPac.
j)
Operating Seam Pressure Control 1. Located at the control panel box is a digital process control. The pressure control regulates the thermal fluid control valve, diverting the flow of fluid when maximum pressure is reached and opening the valve when the steam pressure falls below a predetermined level.
k) Sight Glass Isolation Valves 1. The brass sight glass isolation valves are equipped with an internal ball check. In the event that a sight glass should break, the ball will seat, preventing the discharge of steam and water. The brass valve stem must be opened fully to enable this feature. If the valve is in any other position than full open, the ball will not seat. For added safety all Fulton boilers are equipped with gauge glass protectors. l) High Limit Pressure Control 1. Located at the control panel box and connected to the steam pressure gauge assembly by means of a copper tube. The pressure is usually set 10 to 15 PSI (.703 1.054 kg/cm2) above the operating pressure, but below the maximum pressure of the pressure relief valve. If the pressure exceeds the high limit pressure control setting, the SteamPac will automatically shut off.
2. The high limit pressure control must be manually reset by depressing the plunger located on top of the control.
8. Ventilation
a) Ventilation in the room must be sufficient to maintain a building temperature of 100F or less.
9. Feedwater
a) In its readily available form, water is a corrosive chemical solution having dissolved and suspended solids and it is therefore, essential that feed water for any steam generating plant be conditioned prior to use. Specialists in water treatment should always be consulted. b) Just with any other type of steam boiler, the generator must be fed with clean soft water free from calcium and magnesium salts, organic compounds and corrosive reagents. See the table below for upper limits of water characteristics for the steam generator use.
10. Recommended Water Conditions for Boilers/Unfired Steam Generators

a) Following are recommendations for feed water and boiler water. Contact your local water treatment professional for testing and treatment recommendations. It is very important that a strict water treatment program be followed. b) It is critical that the boiler pH follow the attached schedule whenever water is in the boiler. Solids that enter in with the feed water will concentrate in the boiler. A regular schedule of boiler blowdown must be maintained to prevent high solid concentrations from corroding the vessel or forming deposits.

11. Water Supply

a) The quality of the water used in the boiler will affect the life of the elements and pressure vessel and it is strongly recommended that a competent water treatment company be consulted prior to the installation of the boiler. Elements/PV damaged due to adverse water conditions will not be replaced under warranty. b) Natural feedwater supplies contain solids and dissolved gases. These may promote scale, foaming, corrosion, and/or poor steam quality. To prevent this, feedwater must be studied individually and treated accordingly. The treatment should provide quality feedwater to the boiler such that corrosion and deposition in the boiler will be minimized. Thermal cycling, dissolved oxygen, high or low pH can all be major causes of corrosion. Untreated hardness is the major cause of scale deposits. Poor quality feedwater requires increased blowdown and increased chemical treatment costs to prevent boiler corrosion and scaling.
c) One way to lower the amount of dissolved gases in the boiler feed water is to preheat the feedwater. This option injects live steam into the feedwater to increase the water temperature to 180 degrees F or higher which removes oxygen and carbon dioxide from the water. d) RO/DIWater: Reverse Osmosis / Deionized water is water that all dissolved solids have been removed. Osmosis is a process that uses a semi-permeable membrane, under pressure, to reject dissolved salts and allow water to pass through. When a solution of salt and water is separated by a membrane, the osmotic pressure forces the water through the membrane, diluting the salt solution. When pressure greater than osmotic pressure is applied to the salt solution, the membrane allows the water from the salt solution to pass into the water solution and rejects the dissolved salts. The osmotic process is reversed, hence, reverse osmosis. RO/DI water has no buffering capacity and a pH of <6.5. It is corrosive to carbon steel, however, not to stainless steel. Very high purity steam quality can be obtained with RO/DI water. e) Electric boiler and unfired steam generators pressure vessels made from carbon steel that use RO/DI water for the supply water will require pH neutralization for vessel longevity. Electric boilers and unfired steam generators with stainless steel pressure vessels do not require pH neutralization. ASME Code allows electric boilers to be manufactured with stainless steel pressure vessels provided RO/DI water is used as the water supply. f) The Fulton Warranty does not cover damage or failure that can be attributed to corrosion, scale or fouling.
12. Glossary of Water Supply Terms

a) Dissolved Oxygen: Oxygen that is dissolved in the feedwater will cause the steel in the boiler and the feedwater system to be attacked by the water in a manner described as pitting. The pits that are produced can vary from tiny depressions to holes large enough to penetrate the boiler metal and are usually covered with tubercles of iron oxide. Once pitting starts, it may be extremely hard to arrest. Pitting can proceed at a surprisingly rapid rate and can occur not only in the boiler proper, but also in pre-boiler equipment such as ecomomizers, feedwater tanks, and feedwater lines. b) Sodium Sulfite: Its purpose is to chemically remove the dissolved oxygen left in the feedwater after the feedwater has been mechanically deareated. Sodium Sulfite reacts chemically with dissolved oxygen, producing sodium sulfate. Since it is desirable to remove dissolved oxygen from the feedwater before it reaches a boiler. Sodium sulfite is best introduced continuously at some suitable point in the feedwater system (the storage section of the feedwater heater or deareator, six inches below the water line). Chemical residual control is based on the maintenance of a specific excess of sodium sulfite in the boiler water. The essential requirement being to maintain in the feedwater at all times
slightly more than enough sodium sulfite to consume all of the dissolved oxygen that slips through the deareating equipment. Sulfite as a treatment represents the second line of defense against oxygen corrosion. Primary protection against this type of attack requires adequate facilities for mechanical deareation of the feed-water plus a vigorous maintenance program to safe guard against oxygen leakage into the pre-boiler system. c) Suspended Solids: Suspended solids are the undissolved matter in water, inc-luding dirt, silt, vegetation, iron oxides, and any other insoluble matter. Normally suspended solids are expressed in terms of turbidity. Suspended solids may also deposit in low velocity areas and create fouling. In line filters, or various types of pretreatment can be used to lower the suspended solids level. Various polymers assist in holding solids in suspension. Periodic blowdowns will eliminate suspended solids. d) Alkalinity: Alkalinity is the capacity of a water to neutralize acids. Common water alkalinities consist of bicarbonate, carbonates, hydroxide, phosphate, and silicate. These alkalinities, especially bicarbonates and carbonates, break down to form carbon dioxide in steam, which is a major factor in the corrosion on condensate lines. High alkalinity also causes foaming and carry over in boilers. Both foaming and carry over cause erratic boiler operation. When foaming occurs an antifoam should be added or increased. The reason for the high alkalinity should be determined. It may result from lack of sufficient blow off. Quite often the source of alkalinity is an overdose of alkaline internal water treatment chemical. e) pH: pH is a measure of the degree of acid or base of solution. pH ranges of 8.0-10.5 will have little influence on the corrosion rate of carbon steel. A low pH can result in corrosion of metals, while a high pH can result in scale formation or caustic embrittlement. In order to control boilers and equipment used for the external treatment of make up water, it is essential that reliable pH measurements be made. RO/DI water will have a pH of 6.0 6.5 and will require neutralization if used in a carbon steel vessel. f) Chlorides: If chloride levels are high enough to cause severe corrosion, they can be controlled by limiting the cycles of concentration and increasing boiler blowdowns. Corrosion from chlorides can also be controlled by increasing the amount of corrosion inhibitor or changing to a more effective inhibitor. Reverse osmosis is another method of pretreatment to reduce chlorides. Chlorides are a major concern in a stainless steel vessel. g) Oil: Oil is not a natural constituent of boiler water; still it can frequently enter a system through leaks in a condenser or other heat exchanger. Oil can also enter a system through the lubrication of steam driven reciprocating equipment. Whatever the source, the presence of oil in boiler water is undesirable. Oil can act as a binder to form scale. In high heat-transfer areas oil can carbonize and further contribute to the formation of scale and low pH. Foaming is one indication of oil in boiler water. Its presence can also be confirmed by first shaking a bottle containing boiler water. If oil is present foam will
result. Often oil in boiler water will originate in the condensate. This contaminated condensate should be directed to the sewer until the source of the oil is determined and corrective steps taken. h) Iron (oxides): Iron in any of its oxide or complex forms is undesirable in boiler water. Iron in its various forms can originate in the raw water makeup, condensate return water, or form directly in the boiler as a result of corrosion. It can concentrate in the boiler and it tends to collect in stagnant areas. If a boiler is using raw water makeup, iron is almost certain to be a major component of developing scale or create fouling. i) Water Hardness: Water hardness is the measure of calcium and magnesium content as calcium carbonate equivalents. Water hardness is a primary source of scale in boiler equipment. Hardness is removed by softening. j) Feedwater: Feedwater is the combination of fresh makeup and returning condensate that is pumped to the boiler. k) Condensate: Condensate is condensed steam that is normally low in dissolved solids. Hence, it does not contribute to the dissolved solid content of the feedwater. In addition, condensate is very expensive to waste. It's been chemically treated, heated, pumped, converted to steam, and condensed. This costs money and when condensate is returned to the boiler, money is saved.
Warning Improper installation or maintenance of gauge glass and connections can cause immediate or delayed breakage resulting in bodily injury and/or property damage.
l)
It is critical that the SteamPac pH be alkaline (9-11) whenever water is in the SteamPac. Solids that enter in with the water concentrate in the vessel. Daily boiler blowdown is recommended to help prevent the formation of deposits. Consult instruction manual for proper blowdown procedure.
m) The most common method of water softening is by base or ion exchange, and softeners of this type are readily available from a number of manufacturers. n) Periodically, the ion exchange resin bed requires regeneration by flushing through with a brine solution followed by rising with fresh water. o) The interval between regeneration is dependent upon the raw water hardness and flow rate. Softeners can usually be set to initiate the regeneration cycle during periods when the generator is off line. If this is not possible, it is essential either to install a duplex softener arrangement or select a return tank of sufficient capacity to provide constant full water supply during the regeneration period. p) Peak flow rates should be taken into consideration when selecting a softener. The hourly raw water throughput will depend on the system condensate return but can be taken at a
maximum of 110% of the generator steam capacity where no condensate return is expected. Warning Under no circumstances should the water softener water flow limit be exceeded.
q) In all cases the water hardness should be tested periodically and prior to starting the generator to ensure efficient operation of the softener. In no event must unsoftened water be allowed to enter the steam generator.
13. Chemical Dosing

a) In addition to softening the feedwater, it is also important to consider other factors such as dissolved oxygen and acidity. Depending on the results of an analysis, it may be necessary to inject appropriate amounts of corrective chemical into the feedwater system. This is usually achieved by means of a chemical compound solution and variable output metering pump mounted at the storage vessel. It is important that the chemicals and quantities are correct and it is advisable to contact a water treatment company to arrange a feedwater analysis.
14. The Water Column

a) Install the piping from the water column and water gauge glass to a safe blow-off point.
15. Water Gauge & Gauge Glass Installation Instructions
Note Only properly trained personnel should install and maintain water gauge glass and connections. Wear safety glasses during installation. Before installing, make sure all parts are free of chips and debris.
Keep gauge glass in original packaging until ready to install.
a) Verify the proper gauge has been supplied. b) Examine the gauge glass and packings carefully for damage before installation. Do not use the glass if it contains any scratches, chips, or any other visible signs of damage. c) Do not subject the gauge glass to bending or torsional stresses. d) Apply teflon tape or pipe dope to pipe threads. Install top gauge fitting (fitting without a drain valve) into the uppermost tapping. Wrench tighten the fitting until it is snug and the
glass outlet is pointing at five oclock (about 1/8 turn from its final downward vertical position). e) Install the bottom gauge fitting (the fitting with a drain valve) until it is snug and the glass outlet is pointing directly upward. Verify top and bottom fittings are threaded into the tappings the same number of turns (distance A = f) distance B).
Remove glass packing nut, friction washer and glass packing from the fittings, and place them, in the same order, on to both ends of the gauge glass. Push both packings about an inch up the gauge glass.
g) Gently insert one end of the glass into
the top gauge fitting. Keeping the glass inside
the top fitting, gently rotate to the top gauge fitting clockwise until vertically aligned with the bottom gauge fitting, then inset glass into bottom fitting until glass bottoms out on the shoulder inside the bottom fitting. h) Carefully raise glass about 1/16 and slide lower glass packing down until the glass packing contacts the lower gauge fitting. DO NOT allow the glass to remain in contact with any metal! i) j) Carefully slide upper glass packing up as far as possible. Hand tighten both glass packing nuts, then tighten 1/2 turn more by wrench. Tighten only enough to prevent leakage. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN! If any leakage should occur, tighten slightly, a quarter turn at a time, checking for leakage after each turn. k) Install the protective guard, and utilize automatic ball checks where necessary to help prevent injury in case of glass breakage.
16. General
a) All components exposed to thermal fluid flow, including pipe, valves, and screens, must not be made out of copper, copper alloys, aluminum, or cast iron. Cast iron is porous to thermal fluids, and copper and aluminum act as catalysts in the degradation of some thermal fluids. Carbon or stainless steel, or ductile iron, are recommended. b) For standard applications, all components must be rated to 650F unless otherwise stipulated. c) All pipework, valves, and user equipment must be suited to the maximum operating pressure of the heater. Consult the nameplate on the heater for this rating. d) If an isolating valve is completely closed, the pressure in the system will rise to the deadhead pressure of the pump. Suitably sized pipe will enable the system to withstand the total head generated by the circulating pump, should this occur. In applications where it is desirable to design to pressures lower than the safety relief valve setpoint, an alternative safeguard is to install additional appropriately sized safety valves. e) Where secondary circulating pumps are installed, the system must be suitable for the aggregate head, against a closed valve, of both pumps.
f)
During construction of the installation, ensure that no dirt, water, or residue from welding is left in the system.
17. Thermal Fluid Pipework

a) The thermal fluid pipework and main body of the generator should be lagged. Leave the lower flange of the generator free so that the heat exchanger may be removed periodically if required. b) All pipework should be constructed from seamless mild steel pipe, conforming to ASME SA 106B or SA 53A schedule 40 or equal. c) Expansion joints or properly designed and sited loops should be provided to accommodate thermal expansion. Thermal expansion should be calculated using the maximum possible utilization fluid temperature, regardless of whether the pipe considered is in the feed or return circuit. Steel pipe will expand approximately 1 per 100 over a 100F temperature rise (1 mm per meter over 100C rise). d) Supports and anchors must be provided for all pipes where necessary to prevent undue stresses from being placed on items of equipment, including pumps, valves and the SteamPac. Supports and anchors which will not interfere with thermal expansion should be chosen. e) All pipe joints should be either welded or flanged construction. Screwed joints must be avoided where possible. In no instance should screwed joints be used in the flow circuit. f) All flanges should be welded to the pipe and not screwed. Flanges should be 150# of 300# raised face flanges, SA105. g) Gasketing material suitable for use with thermal fluids at high temperatures should be used to make all flanged joints. Flexible graphite gaskets are suited for most thermal fluids. Recommended gasket thickness is 1/10 1/8 inch. h) Ensure that all bolts are tightened evenly and to the torque recommended values provided by the gasket manufacturer. i) Gasket Installation Instructions 1. Lubricate nuts, bolts and washers with a graphite/oil mixture. 2. Assure that the flange surfaces are clean and free from damage. 3. Center gasket properly over flange. In retrofit, use pry bar to spread flange apart enough that then gasket will not be damaged when sliding in place. 4. Install all flange nuts and bolts. 5. Hand tighten. 6. Utilizing a torque wrench, tighten all bolts to 20% final torque specification following a star pattern. (This means do not tighten bolts in the order of a clock. This will result in a poor seal between 12 oclock and 1 oclock).
7. Tighten all bolts to 40% final torque specification following a star pattern. 8. Tighten all bolts to 60% final torque specification following a star pattern. 9. Tighten all bolts to 80% final torque specification following a star pattern. 10. Tighten all bolts to 100% final torque specification following a star pattern. 11. Following a sequential pattern, ensure that all bolts are tightened to 100% final torque specification. 12. It is important that all bolts are checked and retorqued after flanges have been heated and cooled down for the first time.

18. Bolting Sequence for 4 and 8 Bolt Flanges
a) High point bleeds are to be installed at all high points in the system piping. 1/2 x 12 nipples welded in the top of the piping with ball valves & plugs attached are to be used. b) It will save a considerable amount of time during the cold filtration if the thermal system piping is cleaned prior to assembly. c) The mill scale (the results of oxidation) on the inside of the piping as well as construction debris can foul the oil and cause the need for the filters to be cleaned more than need be. This can range from simply using a rag to ordering pickled pipe. (Pickling is a process where the piping is first soaked in an acid bath, then soaked in a neutralizing bath, then given a protective oil coating.) d) All pipes should be installed with a pitch to facilitate draining and venting.
19. System Connections

a) If screwed connections have to be made, e.g. to items of control equipment, then a thread sealant suitable for use with fluids at elevated temperature must be used. Teflon tape, standard pipe dope, or hemp and paste are not acceptable. b) Screw threads must be carefully and accurately cut. If possible, new tools should be used. Threaded connections larger than 1 are not to be used. It is recommended that GR5 or better tensile steel bolts be used for all flanged joints.
20. Valves
a) Manual control and isolating valves should be the flanged or weld type, manufactured from cast or forged steel or ductile iron, with internals and gland seals made from materials suitable for use with high temperature fluids.
b) When ordering valves, the maximum possible service temperature and type of fluid must be indicated on the order. c) A partial list of manufacturers known to market valves of acceptable quality follows: 1. Jenkins Brothers 2. Lunkenheimer Company 3. Nibco Incorporated 4. Stockham Valves and Fittings Company 5. Velan 6. Vogt Machine Company 7. Worcester Valve Company d) Automatic Fluid Control Valves 1. Because of the widely varied thermal systems, it is not possible to set down specific rules for the selection of automatic fluid control valves. Generally, these valves must satisfy the materials and construction requirements described above. 2. The type of operation and design of porting are governed by the degree of control required as well as the particular application.
21. Testing
a) Upon completion of the installation, a pneumatic test not exceeding 15 psig should be conducted. Soap tests should be made at all welds and joints to ensure that the system is free from leaks. b) Under no circumstances should the system be filled with water. Make sure that the air supply is as free from moisture as possible. c) The most satisfactory method of testing is to introduce bottled nitrogen through a pressure control valve. Check pressure ratings on all the equipment in the system to make sure that it is capable of withstanding the pressure involved. d) The time needed to be spent during boilout directly corresponds to the amount of moisture in the system. Boilout can take anywhere from two to three days to complete. Pressure testing on the system should be done by means of an inert gas, such as nitrogen, or by an air compressor producing dry air (air with a dewpoint of 50o F or less). Never perform a hydrostatic test on the system.
22. Insulation
a) After the appropriate system tests have been satisfactorily completed, all hot pipework, including manifolds on the heater, must be adequately insulated with material suited to the temperature and application to prevent both heat loss and personnel injury. b) It is recommended that for inspection and maintenance, pumps, flanges, valves, and fittings be left un-insulated but suitably shielded for safety.
c) Hot oil pipe insulation should be a minimum of 2 thick, high temperature, laminated, foamglass cellular glass insulation as manufactured by Pittsburgh Corning Corporation, or equal.
23. Thermal Fluids

Thermal Fluids at Elevated Temperatures a) Plant engineers must be familiar with the nature of potential hazards when working with thermal fluids at operating temperatures. b) Unlike steam or high-pressure water systems, thermal fluid attains extremely high temperatures without a corresponding increase in pressure. While this lack of high pressure in the system yields many advantages, a false sense of security should not be allowed to develop on account of this alone. c) Certain types of thermal fluid may have operating temperatures reaching 650F (345C) and above, so all exposed pipework is hazardous and should be insulated, as indicated in the preceding sections. d) Flanged joints must be checked for tightness during and after the first warming up of the system. After these checks, exposed hot flanges, pumps, valves and fittings should be fitted with some sort of shield. e) It is important to remember that there is pressure generated in the system by the circulating pump. Great care should be exercised when opening any drain or vent valves in the system. d) This is especially important during commissioning, when any air trapped in the system is vented at high points, and when water, which will flash into steam, is either expelled from the deaerator vent or drained off at low points.
Caution During operation, any leaks are usually detected by a small amount of vapor. Leaks should be attended to as soon as possible because under certain circumstances, such as saturated insulation, thermal fluid can ignite when exposed to air and heat.
e) If a fire does occur, extinguish using CO2, foam or dry chemical. DO NOT USE WATER. f) Selecting a Thermal Fluid 1. The selection of the thermal fluid most suited to your application is very important. Factors to be considered include efficiency, thermal stability, adaptability to various systems, and physical properties, including vapor pressure, freezing point, and flash and fire points. 2. Heat transfer fluids of both mineral and synthetic origin have been specially developed to give thermal stability over a very wide range of
temperature. A wide variety of thermal fluids have been used successfully in Fulton Thermal Fluid Heater systems, however, your final selection should be made in conjunction with Fulton Thermal Corporation or the fluid manufacturer. 3. The safe maximum bulk temperature of the fluid must be strictly adhered to. The safe maximum temperature of the fluid varies, but a typical maximum for many types of mineral oil based fluids is 600F (320C). 4. Special care must be taken when consulting fluid manufacturers literature, as maximum fluid temperatures quoted are the actual limit to which any of the fluids may be subjected. It is important to remember that in any fired heater there exists a film temperature which is higher than the temperature of the bulk of the fluid. 5. It is the BULK fluid temperature and NOT the FILM temperature that is indicated by the instruments. 6. As a general guide, the following list of fluids that have given satisfactory service over many years is provided. 7. This is by no means a complete list. Any fluid specifically designed for heat transfer use may be considered; multipurpose oils are not acceptable.
a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. j. k. AMOCO CHEVRON DOW EXXON MOBIL MONSANTO MULTITHERM PARATHERM PETROCANADA SHELL TEXACO Transfer Oil 4199 Teknifax Dowtherm A or G Caloria HT 43 Mobiltherm 603 or 605 Therminol PG1, IG4, IG1 Paratherm NF or HE CalFlo, AF, Purity FG, CalFlo LT Thermia 23 Texatherm
8. Any fluid specifically designed for heat transfer use must also exhibit these characteristics: a. Be a stable and homogenous liquid to a temperature of at least 100F over and above the maximum intended temperature of utilization, compatible with metals used in the installation, and tolerating contact with atmospheric air. b. The absence of any solid matter in suspension. c. Non-toxic in the case of leakage.
d. Sufficient lubricity, i.e. not likely to cause seizure.
9. The thermal fluid manufacturer must guarantee the characteristics of the product, and verify that the fluid bulk temperature limitation exceeds the expected operating temperature. 10. After a fluid is selected, refer to the manufacturers recommendations, published in compliance with OSHA. 11. If the fluid expansion volume from 50o F to 600F exceeds 20% of the initial fluid volume, consult Fulton Thermal Corporation.
Note Fulton Thermal Corporation cannot be held responsible in the case of accident or damage resulting from the use of inadequate fluid.
g) Routine Analysis of Heat Transfer Fluid 1. Nearly all leading manufacturers of heat transfer fluids provide an after sales service to monitor the condition of the fluid in operation and make recommendations when replacement becomes necessary. 2. Each fluid manufacturer has procedures for regular testing and analysis of the fluid. These usually allow for a sample to be taken and analyzed at least once a year, although actual frequency will depend on operating temperature, number of hours operated weekly, and the results of tests made during the first weeks of system operation. 3. Fulton Thermal Corporation recommends that the thermal fluid in your system be analyzed within the first two months after start-up. 4. During the first few months of operation, sampling may be carried out at frequent intervals to confirm that system performance has been predicted correctly. 5. If the supplier of your thermal fluid does not contact you within four weeks of commissioning, contact the supplier and make certain that the fill is registered for routine analysis. h) Thermal Fluid Breakdown 1. The possibilities of thermal fluid breakdown are very slim in a typical closed loop thermal fluid system. Fultons D/A tank creates a cold seal of fluid that is slightly above ambient temperature. This prevents oxidation that will happen when high temperature fluid contacts air. 2. This will also occur when hot thermal fluid contacts air at a leak in the system piping. Oxidized thermal fluid becomes acidic and will damage the thermal fluid system. Thermal fluid breakdown can occur in sections of piping where there is a low flow
condition. A low flow rate through the heater will result in high film temperatures leading to breakdown of the thermal fluid. 3. Multiple pressure switches and a differential pressure switch are used to prevent this condition from occurring. These safeties must not be bypassed at any time. 4. Exceeding the maximum operating temperature of the thermal fluid will also result in thermal fluid breakdown. Fulton heaters are equipped with a temperature limit switch (located on the front of the panel box) to prevent this from occurring. 5. A high temperature limit switch acts as an over temperature safety device. If the high temperature limit shuts down the unit, the manual reset button on the limit switch must be pressed. The reset button on the flame programmer must also be pressed to reset the unit before it can be restarted.
24. Return Tank and Connecting Pipework

a) Typically Fulton SteamPacs are sold as a completely skidded packaged units which include: a safety relief valve, steam separator (vertical models only), pressure gauge, return system complete with feedwater pump plus controls, a blow-off separator, automatic control valve and accessories similar to those found on a boiler. b) The return tank is pre-piped on the skid except for the condensate return connection, the vent connection, the overflow opening and the cold water make up. c) The feedwater for our standard package should be maintained in a temperature range of 180F. If higher temperatures are required, contact the factory for proper pump selection. d) Where there is insufficient condensate return to maintain this temperature, it is sometimes necessary to provide some alternative method of preheating such as steam injection. This can be controlled using a thermostat and steam inlet solenoid valve. e) The vent pipe must rise continuously so there are no low points where condensate could accumulate and cause an obstruction. It must always terminate open to atmosphere outside the building and be arranged in a manner which eliminates danger to personnel or property in the event of a steam discharge. f) Local water authority requirements must also be met where applicable.
25. Connection to Drains

a) Water softener finishing pipes and return tank overflows may be connected to drains in accordance with water softener manufacturers instructions. b) Blowdown pipe work must run to a suitable catch pit or receiver vessel to be cooled before connection to the main drains. The blowdown separator may also be equipped with a cooling kit.
Caution It is imperative that an adequate vent to atmosphere is provided on all such covered or enclosed vessels which may receive steam.
c) Special care is to be taken to ensure that blowdown lines are properly secured so no movement (other than expansion) can be caused by the action of steam discharge from that pipe. d) Care must always be taken to comply with water board or other authority requirements to avoid damage to PVC main drains due to the discharge of hot effluent. If cold water is blended with the effluent to assist cooling, this should usually come from a separate tank or directly from the main supply.
Note A deaerator may be supplied in lieu of a return tank. Please consult the manufacturers manual for installation and operation of the deaerator.
26. Steam Pipework

a) All pipework and equipment to be fed with steam must either be designed to withstand the generator safety relief valve setting, or alternatively, an additional safety valve or valves should be inserted in the service line adjacent to the equipment to be protected. All steam pipework should comply with all Federal, State and Local Codes. b) Steam pipework to the plant must be sized to suit the steam flow and pressure. The correct diameter for interconnecting pipework to the steam generator is at least equal to the diameter of the main steam outlet valve above the generator. c) All safety relief valves must be connected to a discharge line of a diameter at least equal to the discharge port. These lines should be piped directly to outside the building and terminate in such a way that steam discharge does not create a danger to personnel or property. Extra care must be exercised when this pipework cannot be of minimal length, and, if necessary a larger diameter pipe employed to reduce resistance to flow. d) Discharge pipework is to be installed such that no water can accumulate and a small drain provided close to the relief valve(s) and piped to a safe place.
Warning No undue load is to be imposed on the safety relief valve body by this pipework.
e) Allowance must be made for expansion of both the pipework and the generator; especially if the pipework is rigidly fixed in any place other than adjacent to the safety valve. f) All open ended pipes are to be suitable secured to ensure that no movement (other than expansion) can be caused by the action of steam discharge from that pipe. g) In cases where multiple generators are to be installed, a header incorporating a steam trap must be provided. In all instances where generators are connected in parallel with another steam boiler, it is the responsibility of the customer to comply with Local Authority, Insurance Company, Factory Act and Health & Safety at Work Act requirements. These requirements are concerned mainly with maximum pressure, water contents, safety valves, piping sizes etc.
27. The Blow-Off Valve

a) There are two blow off valves on the Steampac: The main valve and the water gauge glass blow off valve. The SteamPac blow off valve supplied with the boiler should be screwed to the blow off pipe and connected to a blow off receptacle of approved design. This should be done in accordance with state and local codes.
28. The Feed Water Piping

a) Provisions must be made for adequate water supply and properly sized piping. Piping must be done in compliance with all local codes. b) When feeding the SteamPac using a return system, the city water pressure should not exceed 40 PSI. A pressure reducing valve should be installed a head of the return tank when above this pressure. c) It is important that all piping be lined up and not forced into place. It is recommended that you begin piping at the pump. If the lines are ended at the pump, particularly if the last piece is cut too short or too long, the pump will be forced to meet the pipe and strain or distortion will result. d) Do not use the pump as a piping support. It is critical that the pipe be independently supported near the pump so no strain will be transmitted to the unit. e) Connect the feed water stop valve to the feed water pipe and pipe it to the return system.
29. The Steam Supply

a) Pipe the steam supply line from the steam outlet.
30. The Steam Safety Valve

a) Before installing, be sure that all pipes and connects have been blown clean. Pipe compound or dope is used on external threads only. Be sure inlet of valve is free of any foreign material. b) Do not use a pipe wrench on flange bolts/nuts! When making installation, use proper type and size wrench. c) The valve can be installed in any position (the upright position is preferred) in the connection provided on the top left side of the boiler with no unnecessary intervening pipe. Under no circumstances should there be a shut off valve or restriction of any kind between the safety valve and the connection provided. d) Do not cap or plug drain hole in the side of valve body. e) Since the purpose of this safety valve is to protect against an overpressure situation, it will loudly discharge hot steam in doing so. Therefore, it is recommended that a discharge pipe be securely installed and run to a safe point of disposal. f) When a discharge pipe is used, it must be of a pipe size equal to or greater than that of the valve outlet. Use schedule 40 discharge pipe only. Do not use schedule 80, extra strong or double extra strong discharge pipe or connections. It must be as short and straight as possible and so arranged as to avoid undue stress on the valve. It must have ample provision for draining condensate at or near the valve outlet. It must terminate freely to atmosphere with no intervening valve of any description and it must be securely anchored and supported.
31. The Steam Pressure Gauge Assembly

a) The gauge should be facing towards the panel box and/or operator of the boiler. b) Except as noted, each assembly or any of its component parts may be oriented, other than as shown to provide improved operating clearances and/or view of gauge. Before installing steam gauge on the siphon, add a small amount of water to the siphon to create a water seal to buffer the gauge element. This must be done to prevent inaccurate pressure readings and/or premature failure of the gauge. Install the steam gauge into the siphon on the water column.
32. Electrical Supply

a) A wall mounted, fused disconnect sized for the unit must be provided and fitted by the customer/contractor if a disconnect is not supplied on the panel. b) Fuses must be sized according to motor name plates, element ratings, NEC and local electrical codes. c) Normal supply will be 460 volts, 3 phase, 60 Hz AC unless otherwise specified. Consult electrical drawing for specifics relating to your equipment.
d) Make sure the information on the electrical drawings corresponds to your voltage and frequency. Check the supply voltage and make sure that there is no over or under voltage exceeding 10% of the nominal value. e) In all cases, connections to a ground point must be made with correctly sized wire.
32. Frost Protection

a) When the unfired steam generator is installed in an unheated area, frost could cause serious damage to the generator and also to the water softener (when supplied). The resin bed will be destroyed when the temperature drops below 32F. b) It is therefore, advisable to install protective electrical heating with thermostatic control switching on the protection as soon as temperature becomes too close to 32F. Should this have to be done in a very large building it would be preferable to create a small cubicle around the generator to reduce the volume to be protected. c) Should, however, frost protection be totally unpractical, the heat exchanger shell and the water feed pump must be drained as do the water softener, chemical feed, and positioner on modulating thermal fluid valve.
Section 3
Section 3 Operation
1. Unit Description and Application
a) The basic system consists of a fully automatic oil or gas fired Fulton Thermal Fluid Heater with circulation pump and expansion tank which delivers high temperature thermal fluid to the independent unfired steam generator (as well as to other heat exchange equipment). b) The steam generator, can, therefore be sited where the steam is required thus avoiding long runs of distribution pipework. c) The vertical steam generator basically consists of a small diameter cylindrical shell, inside which is the single or multiple tube heat exchanger, containing the hot thermal fluid. Water is fed into the bottom of the shell and is turned into steam by means of the exchange of heat from the thermal fluid. The steam is discharged from the top into a steam separator immediately above. Dry steam is thus produced. The steam output can be widely varied with great rapidity. Output is varied by controlling the rate of circulation of the thermal fluid through the unit by means of a control valve. d) Since the shell diameter is small, the liquid content is minimal giving very safe operation. The unit is very compact although relatively tall. e) It includes various accessories such as safety valve, feed pump, control panel box, pressure gauge, pressure switches, 3-way fluid control valve feed tank and pipework. f) The unit thus gives rapid steam raising, with widely varying load and, if required, at reasonably high pressures due to the small shell diameter. It is fully automatic once put into operation.
2. Basic Operation
a) In the main heat exchanger hot thermal fluid (refer to the original specification/quotation for minimum required thermal fluid temperature) passes through the tube bundle and is controlled by the quick acting two or three way control valve. Water is fed into the shell side of the exchanger from the treated return tank via the boiler and feed pump and feed check valve(s). b) Vertical units: The wet steam produced in the heat exchanger passes through into the steam separator above. Water from the separator returns under gravity to the bottom of the heat exchanger via feedwater piping. Dry steam flows to the users from the final stop valve above the separator for vertical units, steam outlet connection for horizontal models. c) Horizontal units: Horizontal steampacs consist of custom designed single or multiple to be heat exchanger, containing the hot thermal fluid, mounted in a large horizontal shell. Steam is produced in this vessel, passes over the internal baffling and exits through the steam outlet.
3. Steam Pressure Controls

a) The basic controls consist of a thermal fluid control valve which varies the rate of flow of hot fluid through the heat exchanger. This valve may be modulating type and be either electric motorized, pneumatic, or solenoid operated. It is this valves operations that controls the steaming rate of the generator. It is operated by means of a steam pressure switch or control mounted on the control panel which monitors steam pressure. b) The pressure control, if of the modulating type, will have a set point which it will try to maintain via an analog output to a three-way control valve (or 2-way modulating valve). c) When the desired steam pressure has been reached, the pressure switch contacts open to de-energize the control valve which stops the thermal fluid flow into the generator. Note Pneumatic control valves are operated by controlling the air supply to the valve diaphragm by means of a solenoid valve integral to the actuator body. These valves have a spring return and will shut off thermal fluid flow in case of control circuit failure. Minimum 80 PSIG clean, dry instrument air is required. Consult valve O&M manual for SCFH of air required.
4. Feed Pump Control

a) Water is fed into the base of the steam generator by the feed pump. This pumps a preset quantity of water into the generator. The quantity is usually just in excess of the steaming rate to avoid superheat, afford control, and to carry dissolved solids. b) The feed pump is controlled by means of a high water level probe or float device located in the water bottle attached to the side of the steam separator (or steampac).
5. High Steam Pressure Control

a) The unit is fitted with an excess steam pressure switch which will shut down both thermal fluid flow. This is a manual reset switch and must be reset before operation of the unit will resume.
6. Steam Safety Valve

a) The steam safety valve is fitted to the top of the steam generator shell to prevent excess steam pressure if the controls were to malfunction. It is set at the maximum design pressure for the generator. When modifying the operating pressure, do not alter the safety valve setting.
7. Steam Pressure Gauge

a) The steam pressure inside the generator is monitored by a small pressure gauge mounted at the top.
8. Overload Protection
a) The feed pump motor is protected by thermal relays in case of excessive current caused by voltage variation or malfunction of the feed pump. If the overload operates it must be manually rest after ascertaining the cause.
9. Control Switch
a) The generator is switched on and off by means of a three-way position selector switch on the control panel Position 1 is off. Position 2 is to enable the feed pump only to be selected in order to fill the unit before start-up. Position 3 is to enable the three-way control valve to start steam generator.
Section 4
Section 4 Maintenance
Warning Prior to commencement of any work requiring the removal of cover plates at the opening of the control panel box, the electrical supply to the SteamPac must be disconnected. The unit should be off and cool before performing work on any piping or components.
1. Recommended Water Conditions

d) It is critical that the SteamPac pH be alkaline (9-11) whenever water is in the vessel. Solids that enter in with the water concentrate in the SteamPac. Daily blowdown is recommended to help prevent the formation of deposits.
2. Maintenance Schedule
Daily a) The following procedures should be carried out daily. They are designed to prevent the build up of scale, silt or sludge in the SteamPac. In addition to these procedures, the advice of a water treatment specialist should be sought and followed. An ASME Section VIII blow off receptacle must be provided for the appropriate pressure. b) Blow down the SteamPac each morning from the bottom blow down connection by starting the SteamPac and generating not more that 10 psi of steam. c) Blowdown the water column each morning for 5 seconds at 10 psi or less d) Drain gauge glass each morning for 1 second at 5 psi or less. e) Ensure that chemical treatment/water softener is operating properly. f) Ensure that the feedwater pump is operating properly.
g) Observe at least 1 cycle of operation to ensure proper operation. Monthly a) Clean the water column gauge glass. b) Clean the water pump strainers. c) Check motor starter contacts for pitting or burns. d) Check operation of all steam traps on condensate return system. e) Check tightness of all joints or flanges on the water, steam and thermal fluid piping. Tighten or replace any leaking valve packing. f) Check operation of pressure switches/controllers. When the unit is in operation, reduce the setting of the pressure switches to a value well below that of which they
normally operate. The steam pressure control should shut the fluid control valve. Semi-Annually a) Clean water level and pump probes with light sandpaper or emory cloth. For float type water level controllers check float & float housing for unrestricted movement. b) Drain and flush condensate return tank. Annually a) Remove hand hole covers and inspect the inside of the pressure vessel. Check for scale, sludge or pitting. Check tube bundle for fouling. Any of these conditions indicate improper water management.
3. Safety Relief Valves

a) When the valves leave the factory, they have been carefully set and tested to ensure that the seating surfaces are perfect. However, in service, and when the pressure in the vessel is neat to the set pressure of the valve, the clamping force between the seating surfaces is very light and any foreign matter lodged between the two surfaces will cause the valve to leak. b) Particles lodged on the seating surfaces are, therefore, the first things to look for in the case of a leaking valve and it is usually sufficient to flush the seating surfaces. If however, the seating surfaces have been damaged, it will be necessary to replace the valve.
4. De-scaling
a) The need to de-scale the steam generator is indicated when steam generation becomes slower and more difficult. Operation of the unit may become erratic. b) De-scaling is normally carried out chemically by preparing a solution of proprietary chemical such as Scale Kleen, and pouring it into the top of the generator. (Remove the pressure gauge and use its connection). The pump is run so that the generator is filled. If possible, some heat is added to warm the solution slightly. Note: It is the responsibility of the customer to insure that during the descaling of the tube bundle, the tubes are not chemically attacked and form leaks or cracks. c) There are two basic ways of ensuring the scale dissolving process continues. Either keep filling the generator with new solution and drain off the used solution, or use suitable circulating pump, rubber piping and bucket to continuously circulate the chemical through the exchanger. Usually the solution changes color, as an indication that the acid is spent. If necessary, add more solution. Scale cleaning is only completed when no further color change of new solution takes place. Finally, flush through with an alkali, such as soda ash (1 oz. Per 250 pounds of nominal steaming rate of the unit) in solution. If desired, remove the heat exchanger tube bundle and visually inspect the interior. d) During the cleaning process, the equipment must be vented and no unshielded lights allowed in the vicinity.
Warning Follow all safety instructions provided by the manufacturer of the de-scaling chemical. Read the MSDS sheets that are provided. Disposal of spent solution must be done in accordance with local regulations.
Warning When dissolved, the solution is a severe irritant and must be treated in the same manner as all strong acids. If any of the solution comes into contact with eyes or skin, flush immediately with a large volume of water. If the eyes are affected, seek immediate medical attention.
5. Cleaning the Water Probes

a) Clean the probes in the water column. Make sure there is no pressure on the SteamPac during the removal of the probes. Remove one probe (using 7/8 socket) clean with a very fine emory cloth and replace it before removing another probe to assure no probe mix-ups that would change the control functions.
6. Feed Pump
a) The better the pump is maintained, the longer its working life will be. b) In many cases it is not possible to install the pumps in places where they are protected against frost (especially when used in conjunction with steam generators.) c) Please follow these special instructions to prevent damage. d) As soon as the boiler has been shut down, the pumps must be carefully drained. e) Before the pump is returned to service, the pump should be primed with hot water and turned several times by hand. Only then should the equipment be started up.
7. Electrical Controls
a) Monthly Check that connection screws have not become loose. Clean electrical contacts on relays etc. inside the panel with a small brush. b) Check operation of the controlling pressure switches. c) When the unit is in operation, reduce the setting of the pressure switches to a value well below that of which they normally operate. d) The steam pressure control should shut the fluid control valve. e) The excess steam pressure switch should shut the fluid control valve.
8. Miscellaneous
a) Check tightness of all joints or flanges on the water, steam, and thermal fluid piping. Tighten or replace any leaking valve packing. Note: Shut off and cool the system prior to replacing valve packing.
9. Troubleshooting
a) The following troubleshooting guide will assist in the diagnosis and correction of minor field problems. In any case requiring additional assistance, contact your local authorized Fulton Representative. b) Feedwater Pump 1. Problem: Pump rotates freely but does not pump.
Check: 1. Excessive feed water temperature (normal maximum 180F) will result in flashing at pump inlet. This is usually caused by leaky check valve between pump and boiler or failure of steam traps to close tightly. Repair or replace defective equipment at once before causing damage to pump. 2. Obstruction in suction line. This can be determined by a visual check or installing a compound gauge (reading vacuum and pressure) in the pump suction line close to the pump. An unrestricted line will produce a pressure reading on the gauge of approximately 1 PSIG while the pump is running. A vacuum reading on the gauge indicates an obstruction, which must be eliminated. Be sure to remove strainer basket, scrub clean and reinstall. 3. Motor not up to rated speed. Check speed with tachometer. 4. Wrong direction of rotation. Check arrow on pump casing. 5. Broken pump shaft. Check shaft at both ends.
2. Problem:
Pump vibrates or is very noisy.
Check: 1. Misalignment of pump and motor. Check coupling and piping strain. 2. Bent or broken shaft. 3. Pump impeller binding. Check for foreign matter in pump, bent impeller, or mineral deposits on impeller, channel ring or spacer. If mineral
deposits occur, have the water analyzed and treated by a reliable chemical treatment company. Remove any mineral deposits from pump parts. 4. Worn bearings. Replace. 5. Pump cavitation. High water temperatures or a suction line restriction, such as a clogged strainer, will cause cavitation. Any restriction must be corrected immediately or severe pump damage will result.
3. Problem:
Receiver overflows constantly.
Check: 1. Make-up valve seat worn, not sealing tight. Replace valve. 2. Make-up valve float waterlogged or disconnected. Replace. 3. Lower the level of make-up water to allow more tank volume for condensate.
4. Problem:
Some Common Causes of Motor Failure.
Check: 1. Tripped starter overload. Reset and check motor and pump for proper operation. 2. Improper power supply. Check voltage and motor nameplate data. 3. Incorrect connections.
