INTRODUCTION

• Congratulations on your purchase of Hitze
  Electric Steam Generator. Now steam is available
  to you at the switching on of a button and in
  practically no time, without the headaches of
  smoke or any other form of pollution.
• Hitze Equipments (I) Pvt. Ltd. is a company
  situated in Bangalore, solely committed to our
  customers to deliver heat transfer solutions
  which is highly user friendly, safe to operate,
  requires minimum space and also taking care of
  quality and safety aspects.
• Hitze Electric Steam generator is the
  result of our endeavour for making a compact
  steam generator to provide low pressure steam
  for industrial and domestic application with
  maximum efficiency and minimum maintenance. We
  have developed this equipment keeping in mind a
  lot of parameters and varying customer
  requirements. It is particularly useful for
  applications were steam is required in a low
  volume and pressure and the area needs to be
  clean . The space required for installation is
  very less as the equipment is very compact and
  installation procedures are easy. Operating the
  equipment is very simple and can be done by
  following the instructions as given in the Owners
  Manual. The equipment is available in different
  models to suit varying customer requirement. The
  equipment is fully automatic and does not require
  a trained operator.
• We request you to kindly read all the
  installation, operation and maintenance
  procedures carefully before using the equipment
  and strictly follow the same.
• Wishing you years of trouble free usage of
• HITZE ELECTRIC STEAM GENERATOR
• and peace of mind.

HITZE ELECTRIC STEAM BOILER

• Working Voltage 440 V AC 3 phase with Neutral,
  64 Amps
• Wattage 6Kw /9 Kw / 12 Kw / 15 Kw / 18 Kw / 24
  Kw
• Rating Continuous
• Tank Volume 17 Lit. adequately insulated
• Safety Features Provided with safety valve,
  Pressure Switch and
• low level
  cutoff for heater and extra low water.
• Digital
  temperature controller and timer device
• provided
  for external control.
• Size 32L X 15H X 12W
• Note Steam Boiler pressure parts are
  fabricated fully out of SS 304 plates.
• CONSUMPTION OF WATER BY RESPECTIVE STEAM BOILERS

• The above consumption is based on the average out
  let pressure of 30 Psi. and 80 efficiency of
  heat transfer from heater element to water. It
  will be within plus or minus 10 depending on the
  input voltage to the steam generator.

General Description

• Steam boiler is of robust construction with tank
  made out of 3 mm SS sheet with a cubic capacity
  of 17 Lit. and tested up to 5kgs/sqcm. (Working
  pressure within 2 kg/sqcm). A special electronic
  boiler controller card model BC-05 is provided
  in the control panel for controlling water level
  and heater along with the steam generator are
  housed in one single unit.
• Two heaters with SS 304 elements are provided to
  get necessary wattage. Water level is maintained
  in the chamber by 3 sensors for minimum, low and
  high.
• Maximum safety is obtained by having separate
  safety valve, pressure cut off switch and low
  water level cut off for heater.
• Pressure cut off switch is set at 20 to 30 PSI to
  safeguard the steam unit.
• The generator unit, water level sensor,
  electronic control unit and control for the
  heater are all housed in a single cabinet,
  however an external pump (optional supply) is
  provided where pressures are above ambient.
• Controls in the Steam Generator Unit
• 1. SS /Brass stop cock for Steam Outlet.
• 2. SS/Brass Drain valve for backwash and service
  work.
• 3. Water level indicator.
• 4. Pressure cut off switch. (factory set at 20
  to 30 Psi.)
• 5. Safety valve.(factory set at 50 Psi)
• 6. Water inlet with solenoid valve.
• 7. Feed water pump.(Optional)
• 8. Digital Temperature Controller.
• 9. External Timer Device.
• Requirements for installation
• 1. One continuous flow water connection with ½
  inch stop cock with a

General Working Principle

• General Working Principle
• Steam generator is a SS 304 tank with heaters,
  steam outlet, drain water inlet and pressure cut
  off system , water level sensor and water level
  indicator.
• On Switching on the unit
• 1. Keep the steam outlet open and switch on
  the main ON/OFF MCB.
• Mains on indicator will light up
  and your boiler is started.
• 2. Water inlet solenoid valve will open with a
  click sound. Also the
• water inlet indicator will light
  up.
• 3. Watch for the water level increase in the
  water level indicator.
• 4. When the water level reaches to a preset
  level immersing the
• heater elements, the heater
  elements will get switched on and
  
• the indicator will light up.
• 5. Water level will still raise to the preset
  maximum level and the
• solenoid valve/feed pump
  controlling the water inlet will be
• switched off.
• 6. Initially the boiler will start delivering
  steam in 3 to 12 minutes with
• a little water flow which is
  normal. Keep steam valve in half open
• condition only during usage to
  avoid water flow along with steam.
• 7. Hissing sound created by the steam flow and
  the water condensing
• from steam is normal.

DOS AND DONTS

• 1. Do not keep the drain valve open.
• 2. Do not keep the steam valve closed.
• 3. Do not allow any unauthorized personal to
  attend to faults.
• 4. Never shut off the water supply.
• 5. Switch off the steam generator when not
  needed.
• 6. Never use hard water,salt water, or water
  containing minerals.
• MAINTENANCE
• In due course of usage, salt and minerals
  contained even in pure clean water will sediment
  inside the boiler and form thick scales. This
  will reduce the efficiency of heat transfer from
  the heaters. To reduce sedimentation it is
  advised to backwash / blow down the steam boiler
  once in a week depending on the usage.
• Backwash Procedure
• To be done by the user/ attendant
• 1 Once a week after using the steam boiler,
  close the steam out let valve and let the
  pressure build up for an minute or so. Switch
  off the steam generator and open the drain valve.
  Water along with sediments and steam will gush
  out clearing 80 of the dirt and sediments
  inside.
• After the flow stops, close the Drain valve and
  open the steam outlet. Now switch on the steam
  generator and watch for the water level increase
  and normal working of the unit.
• GUARANTEE
• The electric steam generator including the
  heating elements are guaranteed for a period of
  one year from the date of supply against any
  manufacturing defects. Please refer the guarantee
  card given along with the equipment for terms and
  conditions.
