Self-Generating Steam Jacketed Counter Tilting Kettle
Introduction
Description
Models EC-6TW-2 (6 gallon capacity) and EC-10TW-2 (10 gallon capacity) and EC-12TW-2 (12 gallon
capacity) electrically powered, self-contained, countertop, tilting kettles. Each model has a jacket of double-wall
construction forming a sealed reservoir around the lower two-thirds of the kettle. The reservoir is charged with
distilled water. Kettles are equipped with a removable electric heating element and controls, including a low water
cutoff device for protection of the heating element. All models are of identical construction, except for kettle size
and element heating capacity
Basic Function
Self-contained kettles operate by generating steam in the kettle reservoir. The sequence of operation is as follows:
1. Operator turns the power switch to the ON position and sets the temperature control dial to the desired
temperature setting.
2. Control circuit is normally completed to the temperature controller if the following conditions exist:
a) Water level in the kettle reservoir is adequate to prevent circuit interruption by the low water cut-off
device. An activated cut-off is indicated by the amber low water light turning on, and the heating
element shutoff.
b) Kettle is in vertical position with circuit completed through the tilt interlock switch.
3. Thermostat control contacts close to energize contactor coils.
4. Power is supplied to the elements through closed power contactors.
5. As the temperature of water rises in the kettle reservoir, increase in steam pressure is indicated on the
pressure gauge.
6. When the temperature of steam in the reservoir reaches the setting of the temperature control dial, the
temperature controller opens to break the contacts and shuts off the heating element. On/off cycles will occur
as required to maintain temperature setting.
