SUPPLIED PARTS AND ACCESSORIES:
The BE-55C comes equipped with most everything required for operation. A box of parts is located
inside the cabinet. Reinhibitor is required and is available in 5-gallon or 55-gallon containers. Optional
pump primer is also available to initially fill the pump reservoir. The user must supply their own
receiving and storage drums, electrical wiring, air hose to the unit, and piping for the pressure relief
system. Processed Glycol and Processed Water drums should be plastic or coated steel to prevent
corrosion. Residue drum must be metal to withstand heat.
CHOOSING A LOCATION:
Locate the BE-55C in a cool, ventilated area. The unit is not weatherproof, must be installed in a
sheltered area and protected from freezing. The maximum allowable ambient temperature for operation
is 100
F (38ºC). The unit produces approximately 42,000 BTU’s per hour of heat. Adequate ventilation
must be provided to insure that the ambient temperature does not exceed 100ºF (38ºC).
Make sure there is sufficient space behind the unit (12 inches minimum) to allow proper air circulation
through the heat exchangers. Space for two drums is required on both sides of the BE-55C. Also
verify that there are no flammables or combustibles used or stored within 20 feet of the unit (see Safety
Precautions section of this manual). It’s a good idea to keep the BE-55C mounted to it’s shipping skid
in the event that the unit needs to be moved or transported to a different location.
