Max. operating temperature for air cooled pumps varies by manufacturer. Consult instruction
manual to verify.
Note
Non-code tanks cannot be pressurized over 15 psig.
Note
If the tank is located outdoors nitrogen is required.
Warning
High temperature thermal fluid, steam and combustible vapors may be vented through the DA
vent connection.
Warning
Once the system has been filled, any modification to the tank or connected piping requires
purging of the work area to prevent ignition of potentially flammable vapors. Consult factory prior
to beginning work. Consult MSDS for your thermal fluid for flammability limits.
Note
If the circulating pump motor is not supplied by Fulton Thermal Corporation, the motor starter will
not be supplied.
Note
Unless the system is pressurized, the inlet to the deaerator section must be higher than or equal
to the highest point in the system to prevent pockets of air from collecting in system piping.
Caution
During operation, any leaks are usually detected by a small amount of vapor. Leaks should be
attended to as soon as possible because under certain circumstances, such as saturated
insulation, thermal fluid can ignite when exposed to air and heat.
Note
Fulton Thermal Corporation cannot be held responsible in the case of accident or damage
resulting from the use of inadequate fluid.
Note
Unless specially filtered, compressed air will introduce moisture into the system. Dry air or
Nitrogen is recommended.
Note
Some plastics can be dissolved by thermal fluid.
