1.5 - OVERHEAD PIPING WARNING When overhead piping is connected to a Mokon temperature control system equipped with an open or non pressurized expansion tank there is risk of overflow of the system’s reservoir tank upon shutdown, this is due to the back flow of fluid volume from the overhead piping system.
For optimum system performance, allow adequate space and ventilation around entire system as well as a means to direct vapors away from work area. There should be a minimum of four (4) feet of clearance around the entire Mokon system (all sides) for adequate ventilation and operation of the system.
Note: If your unit was purchased with a process purge option, review section 4.7 or 4.8 for operating instructions. 2.4 – ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS WARNING: THE MOKON SYSTEM, AS WITH ALL HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, SHOULD BE CONNECTED ACCORDING TO ALL APPICABLE NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES.

If the strainer must be mounted in the vertical position, below the process connection on the Mokon unit, a drip leg should be installed to trap debris that will dislodge from the screen upon shutdown. Consult the factory if the strainer must be installed in this fashion.
SECTION 3 – OPERATION NOTE: Prior to starting the Mokon system it may be necessary to tighten the mechanical fittings on the piping. Vibration cause during transport can loosen the fittings. Before proceeding, check and tighten all of the mechanical fittings.
3.2 - CHANGING TEMPERATURE SETTING If a new temperature setting is required while the unit is in operation, adjust the controller to the new desired setpoint temperature. See section 5 for specific controller instructions. 3.3 - SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE COOL THE UNIT BY REDUCING THE SETPOINT TEMPERATURE TO 150F (66ºC) OR LOWER.
HOT SURFACE 4.1 – PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE Mokon temperature control systems are designed for a long, trouble free service life under a variety of conditions, with a minimum of maintenance. Performing the following preventative procedures will extend the life of your system. Refer to section 4.2 – 4.10 in the instruction manual for specific adjustment or service procedures.

4.2.1 – PUMP ALIGNMENT The pump and motor were properly aligned during assembly. During shipping and with time the alignment can be disturbed. Use the following procedure to check the alignment: 1. Check the pump ports to be sure that they are square and in the proper position. 2.
Back off outer end cap (3) counterclockwise nine notches. Each notch represents 0.001 inch (0.0254mm) end clearance. 5. End clearances set per Step 4 are for Mokon recommended heat transfer fluids (see section 4.11) or other heat transfer fluids with similar viscosity characteristics within the operating range of 150F to 600F (38C to 316C).
The pump gland should drip approximately 1 drop per minute at 150F (66C) operating temperature. EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHILE WORKING ON OR IN THE AREA OF THE MOKON TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE OF THE FLUID WILL CAUSE THE PROCESS LINES, SYSTEM COMPONENTS, AND METAL CABINETRY TO BECOME VERY HOT AND THEREFORE THEY SHOULD NOT BE TOUCHED.
4.3 – RECIRCULATING PUMP Mokon 500 series models feature a “Continuous Flow” cool oil reservoir using a recirculating pump to force the flow. When cooling is needed, hot oil from the process loop is released into the reservoir and is replaced by cool oil. The fluid is cooled by forcing the released process oil through the continuous flow heat exchanger where it is mixed with a continuous flow of cool oil from the reservoir.
Page 23
4.3 – RECIRCULATING PUMP CONT. ELECTRICAL All electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the latest edition of the National and local codes and regulations. The proper operating voltage and other electrical information can be found on the nameplate attached to the top of the motor.

NOTE: This section applies only to systems, which include a supply pumpak. Only the H6, XA, and XC series systems contain a supply pumpak. If your system is a single zone, H6 Unit, 24 KW or less, skip to Section 4.6. REF. MOKON REF. MOKON QTY.
2. Loosen the drive clamp assembly (1) but do not remove. NOTE: If the motor shaft is a keyed shaft, remove the key before installing the Mokon Pumpak. The drive clamp assembly on the Mokon Pumpak is all that is required to drive the pump.
Page 26
4.4.2 – SUPPLY PUMPAK IMPELLER CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT Remove the strip stock shim from the suction eye of the pump housing. This shim was inserted to establish clearance between the face of the impeller and the housing. Rotate the motor slowly, by hand, to make certain that the impeller does not rub the housing or the adaptor frame.
Page 27
4.4.4 – SUPPLY PUMPAK DISASSEMBLY 1. Close the gate valve on the reservoir tank. 2. Remove the S.S. studs (7) holding the housing (11) to the adaptor. 3. Remove S.S. bolts (3) which hold the adaptor frame (5) to the motor. 4.
Page 28
4.5 – SEAL ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT NOTE: This section applies only to systems, which include a supply pumpak. Only the H6, XA, and XC series systems contain a supply pumpak. 1. Make sure impeller shaft is CLEAN and free of nicks or burns. Use fine steel wool to polish sleeve.
Page 29
4.5 – SEAL ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT CONT. 9. Place the impeller and the seal assembly in the pump housing. Affix the gasket on the frame over the drive sleeve onto the housing. 10. Attach the pump frame to pump head with bolts and secure evenly. Install the shaft retaining collar onto the shaft and attach entire assembly to motor.
4.6– SUPPLY PUMP FOR SINGLE ZONE H6 UNITS, 24 KW OR LESS 4.6 – SUPPLY PUMP REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE The pump has a viton seal that may last several thousand hours based upon the application. If the motor is replaced, the mechanical shaft seal should also be replaced. A seal that leaks will show leakage through the slot between the pump housing and the motor.
Page 31
4.6.1 – SUPPLY PUMP DISASSEMBLY 1. Remove three cover screws and remove the cover, discarding the o-ring. 2. Secure the impeller and remove the impeller locknut. Pull the impeller straight out off the motor shaft. 3. Remove the seal-rotating porting by pulling the seal off by hand. 4.
“Process Purge” on the control plate if you have this option. NOTE: If additional fluid has been added to the Mokon system after initial start up, it will be necessary to drain the excess fluid prior to using the process purge as to avoid overflowing the reservoir tank.
NOTE: If additional fluid has been added to the Mokon system after initial start up, it will be necessary to drain the excess fluid prior to using the process purge as to avoid overflowing the reservoir tank.
4.10 – HEATER ELEMENT WIRING Using the following chart to select between wiring method A and wiring B to wiring Mokon replacement heaters (dual element – hair pin type). Refer to the Mokon system electrical schematic in section 8 for complete heater wiring illustrations.
4.11 – LOW PRESSURE SAFETY SWITCH Mokon systems are equipped with a low pressure safety shut down switch. The low pressure switch is standard on the 500 and 600 Series systems but optional on MK, HC, and XC oil systems. This switch incorporates an interlock to prevent the operation of the system should the heat transfer fluid be insufficient.
4.13 – RECOMMENDED HEAT TRANSFER FLUIDS All Mokon Heat Transfer Fluid Systems are tested using Duratherm 600 Heat Transfer Fluid. Mokon recommends the following heat transfer fluids for use in Mokon systems. A short description of each fluid is given including the recommended application and the manufacturing company name and address.
Page 37
Duratherm 600 is engineered to give unsurpassed levels of protection and service life all at an economical price. All Mokon HTF systems are tested using this fluid. DURATHERM LITE Duratherm Lite - Heat transfer fluid with the same physical properties as Duratherm 600 but formulated with a lighter dose of additives.
Page 38
It can take the stress of electrical elements and system shocks without requiring premature replacement. MultiTherm PG-1 and IG-4 may be used safely in the Mokon MK, MR, HC, HA, XC, XA, 350, 500, 600, and HF Series systems.
Page 39
Its greater purity allows it to strongly resist degradation while holding thermal properties and maintaining efficiency. PARATHERM NF AND PARATHERM HE may be used safely in the Mokon MK, MR, HC, HA, XC, XA, 350, 500, 600, and HF Series systems.
Page 40
The high boiling point of THERMINOL 66 helps reduce the volatility and fluid leakage problems associated with other fluids. THERMINOL 66 may be used safely in the Mokon MK, MR, HC, HA, XC, XA, 350, 500, 600, and HF Series systems.
