Heater Tank The 6017 features a single pass heater tank. The tank is designed to maintain an optimum balance of fluid velocity versus watt density, and turbulence for excellent heat transfer, and minimal pressure drop. The high fluid velocity will greatly prolong the life of the heater and fluid. Pump The pump is a packed, positive displacement pump. It features a nearly failure free design, and has proven itself after years of dependable service. It is well suited for use with a va

In the event of an obstruction in the line, the Fulflo will open and divert fluid from the delivery TO PROCESS line to the return From Process line. A constant flow of fluid is maintained through the heater tank to prevent damage to the heating elements and fluid. Cooling Optional The Sterlco-designed shell and tube heat exchanger is provided as optional equipment in this unit. The design features U-tube construction and copper-nickel tubes for durability and optimal heat transfer.

Electrical Panel and System Components The pump motor and immersion heater operate on three-phase, 50/60 cycle, nominal voltage with the control circuit at 115 V single phase. The control circuit voltage is provided by a single phase machine tool transformer with primary fuse protection and a grounded secondary. A main power disconnect is included as for ease of service. The electrical panel is UL listed and complies with NEC provisions. All components are IEC rated for long life and r

Pressure Switch A pressure switch is built into each unit to guard against heater damage. This feature prevents the heater elements from being energized unless the pump is running and fluid is in the system. After a preset time, the pump shuts down if the fluid pressure is not re-established. The pressure switch is preset at the factory; do not tamper with it. Safety Thermostat The safety thermostat is mounted on the side of the heater tank. This is to guard against the unlikely eve

Make sure that the unit location is not in a confined space to ensure proper air circulation. Special air circulation/ventilation is required for units operating at temperatures exceeding 500ºF (260ºC). Vapors can escape from areas such as the reservoir tank during high temperature operation. ! CAUTION Harmful vapors may be generated from thermal fluid during high temperature operation. Prolonged or repeated exposure of these hot-generated vapors may result in eye and respiratory tr
