! CAUTION
The reservoir tank must be vented to prevent pressurization.
A pressurized reservoir could rupture, allowing hot fluid
to escape and become a potential fire and slip hazard.
Note: Heat transfer fluids expand when heated. Expansion rates
vary, depending on fluid types and temperatures. For more
information on expansion rates, refer to specification
information for the heat transfer fluid you select.
Generally, most heat transfer fluids expand at the rate of
2.5% for every increase of 50°F from temperatures above
60°F (16°C).
Connect the
TO PROCESS hookup to the entrance of the process
and the FROM PROCESS hookup to the exit of the process.
Connect the COOLING WATER SUPPLY to your plant water
supply. Connect the COOLING WATER DRAIN line to an open
drain, or to the return line of your central water system. If
returning to a central water system, use a condensate/return tank to
avoid a standing water column on the heat exchanger drain line.
! CAUTION
If you are routing the drain line to an open drain, make sure that
the line is directed away from personnel to avoid scalding.
Carefully select connecting lines and connectors between the 6017 unit
and the process to best meet the needs and requirements of your application.
Make sure lines and connectors have a service rating of
at least 100 psig (689.5 kPa/6.9 bars), and a temperature rating
at least equal to the maximum operating temperature of your 6017 unit.
