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
