Safety Precautions SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: Please be sure the following instructions are understood thoroughly BEFORE operating the system. Consult our representative in your area or call the factory to resolve the items you do not understand. This equipment can be used to generate: A high pressure fluid that can penetrate the skin and cause severe internal injury.
The Patented How it works HelioPAC™ Figure 1 Liquid Water Supply Supersonic Steam Flow Vapor Steam Supply High Velocity Stream High Velocity Hot Water Secondary Inlet (Optional) Start-up Overflow Start-up/Overflow to Drain Velocity to Pressure Conversion Area Discharge Discharge The Patented HelioPAC An entering stream of cold water encounters a supersonic stream of steam molecules within the HelioPAC™.

The Central How it works Cleaning System Figure 2 The Central Cleaning System Pressurized water is piped from the pressure reserve tank (1) to desired cleaning locations within the plant. As this water is used, pressure within the reserve tank drops. An electrical pressure switch (2) senses this drop and energizes the automatic water valve (3) and the stabilizer pump (4) which sends cold water through the water inlet line to supply the HelioPAC (7).

Steam Supply The HelioJET C-100 requires a 2-1/2” dedicated steam supply line. Install a 2-1/2” manually operated shut-off valve, and be sure it is accessible from the C-100 location. Standard HelioJET systems are designed to operate on steam supply pressures of 75-150 psi. If your steam supply pressure is out- side this range, contact the HelioJET Technical Service Department for assistance.

Floor Drain Pipe the start-up/overflow downward to a drain using no less than 1-1/2” or larger rigid pipe. See page 7, item 4. During times of use, the HelioJET will discharge approximately one pint of hot water to drain each time it cycles on and off. Be sure the drain you choose can accommodate 200°F.

Two Adjustments There are two adjustments on your HelioJET C-100. You will make them during the initial calibration and start-up procedure in the next section. Please refer to pages 7 and 13 to familiarize yourself with the location of the handwheel adjustment and the high-low pressure switch.

Step 6. Adjust the high-low pressure switch (upper dial) downward until the system shuts down. Step 7. After system shuts down, reduce the pressure switch (upper dial) an additional 50 psi. Step 8. Adjust pressure switch (lower dial) to obtain a 75 psi pressure differential. Step 9.

Trouble Shooting Problem The system starts and runs fine, but does not deliver the discharge temperature anticipated. Solution Before start-up, the reserve tank is at ambient temperature. It takes a little time to rise to full temperature. For instance, after the first cycle, the discharge thermometer may read 140-150°F and you are expecting 180°F.
Page 15
D. Is your discharge piping undersized? See Installation section. E. Is it possible that your lines have developed some mineral or other type of build-up that may be creating a flow restriction? Contact HelioJET if you are unable to resolve this problem. Problem When the Handwheel is adjusted upward, (counter-clockwise) the start-up vacuum gauge never reads a vacuum.
Preventative Maintenance After the HelioJET is installed and adjusted properly, it is recommended that a monthly inspection be performed to verify that the pressure switch and handwheel settings have not been changed. If necessary, reset according to the initial calibration and start-up section of this manual.

Steam Valve Check condition of steam valve seat. Does steam leak through the overflow drain, even when the C-100 System is not being used? If so, replace the steam valve seat. Steam Valve Solenoid Check condition of steam valve solenoid. Does air continuously leak from the solenoid, even when the system is not running? If so, replace the solenoid.
Page 18
Start-up Vacuum Reading Is the start-up vacuum gauge working consistently when the HelioJET is running? If not, inspect the condition of the overflow check valve (pg. 21, item 12). If the check valve does not seat properly it will allow an excess amount of air to enter the system. This can disrupt the reading on the vacuum gauge (pg.

How to Recharge the Reserve Tank If the reserve tank air cushion is lost, it will be necessary to replenish it. To do this, first, turn the HelioJET power switch off. Second, close the water and steam supply valves that supply the C-100. Fourth, be sure there is no pressure in the reserve tank, open air supply valve to relieve pressure if necessary (see page 21, item 20).
