Page 22 6017 Series Hot Oil Large Temperature Control Units
Connecting Process Piping
! CAUTION
• Hoses, valves and other components in your process must be able to
withstand the 6017 unit's maximum temperatures and pressures.
• Maximum temperatures and pressures are listed on the unit nameplate.
• Carefully inspect all components before installation.
• If in doubt about component suitability, obtain factory components.
• Fix all leaks! Fluid can be a potential fire and slip hazard.
• Never open pipe insulation that is smoking! Adding oxygen can cause a fire.
Connecting Cooling Water Piping
You must provide cooling water at 25 psi to 75 psi (172.4 kPa to
517.1 kPa/1.7 bars to 5.2 bars) for proper operation. Untreated
water can foul or corrode the heat transfer surfaces, slowing water
flow and causing fluid temperature control problems. Sterling, Inc.
sells a complete line of water treatment equipment that can reduce
downtime and maintenance costs.
Run properly-sized cooling water lines-never smaller than the
outlets on the 6017 unit. If external piping is larger than 6017 unit
connections, reduce the size of the piping at the unit.
Connecting Vent Piping
You must leave the vent connection open to the atmosphere at
all times. The vent connection is located on top of the reservoir.
On systems with piping above the reservoir level, you must run
vent piping to a minimum height of one foot (1’ / 31 cm) above the
highest point in the system. Run the piping down into an auxiliary
vented overflow chamber, such as a vented, covered 55-gallon
(208-liter) drum. This practice ensures that overflow will not
create a hazard to personnel.
Remember: All external piping must be supported independently
of the 6017 unit.
