Warning - Lifting The Spirax EasiHeat unit should be lifted by a suitable forklift truck, from the base, placed in position and securely bolted to the floor. On no account is the Spirax EasiHeat unit to be lifted by any other part, other than the base.
Determine the correct installation situation and direction of fluid flow. iv) Spirax Sarco products are not intended to withstand external stresses that may be induced by any system to which they are fitted. It is the responsibility of the installer to consider these stresses and take adequate precautions to minimise them.
1.9 Tools and consumables Before starting work ensure that you have suitable tools and / or consumables available. Use only genuine Spirax Sarco replacement parts. 1.10 Protective clothing Consider whether you and / or others in the vicinity require any protective clothing to protect against the hazards of, for example, chemicals, high/low temperature, radiation, noise, falling objects, and dangers to eyes and face.

1.11 Permits to work All work must be carried out or be supervised by a suitably competent person. Installation and operating personnel should be trained in the correct use of the product according to the Installation and Maintenance Instructions. Where a formal 'permit to work' system is in force it must be complied with. Where there is no such system, it is recommended that a responsible person should know what work is going on and, where necessary, arrange to have an assistant whose primary responsibility is safety.
2. General product information 2.1 General information The Spirax EasiHeat HTG system uses steam to provide accurate heating of potable hot water or hot water for processes. Systems are supplied fully assembled and pressure tested ready for installation. and are supplied fully assembled and pressure tested ready for installation.

The installation of an appropriately sized safety valve, to protect any lower pressured equipment on either the hot or cold side of the plate heat exchanger, is strongly recommended. Spirax Sarco supplies a range of traps, strainers, separators, safety valves and pressure reducing equipment. 3.2 Air supply If a pneumatic control system is installed, connect a compressed air supply (65 to 116 psi g) to the pressure regulator mounted on the control valve.

4. Commissioning We strongly recommend that you use the service and support of a Spirax Sarco commissioning engineer. Details of this service can be found by contacting Spirax Sarco. Note: Pre commissioning requirements: In most new installations, dirt collects in the steam pipeline during construction of the system.

Open the secondary (cold side) isolating valves downstream of the Spirax EasiHeat. Start the main secondary water circulating pump(s) if fitted. Check and confirm there is secondary water circulation through the Spirax EasiHeat. If the circulation is okay, switch on the main power to the control panel (local isolator).

Intervals between tests should not exceed a six month period. We do not recommend the installation of a self-acting high limit control to the Spirax EasiHeat system. 6.3 Scale formulation Within open systems, where there is continual make-up water, there is a risk of scale formation.
