4.0 Commissioning and Operation
Do not operate the hotwell at working pressures or temperatures in excess of those
specified on the nameplate.
Do not subject the hotwell to fire or any similar source of heat
The hotwell is designed to be reasonably quiet & vibration free during operation although the
mixing of steam and water will inevitably induce a small amount of vibration within it.
If excessive noise, vibration or movement of pipework is experienced, then it is essential that
the tank is not operated for any prolonged period of time to avoid damage. The tank should
be drained and inspected as soon as possible.
