GENERATOR INSTRUMENT HEADER
The generator is fitted with an instrument header on which the following equipment is mounted:
•
The safety valve of the generator
•
The steam on-off valve
•
The distribution manifold of the safety and control devices
•
The steam thermometer
•
The steam thermometer with the related gauge test tap
•
Condensation discharge pipe
The instrument header is also a humidity separator. In this regard kindly refer to the relevant para-
graph.
During normal functioning of the generator the steam produced passes through the manifold.
The manifold is thus very hot. Do not go near the manifold for any reason.
THERE IS A DANGER OF BEING BURNT.
The tank must be raised up and have sufficient head for correct pump operation and to avoid phenomena
of cavitation owing to insufficient supply - refer to the table given below.
See chapter 3, table 3 for water pressure/suction head ditails.
