Page 9: Introduction
On a temporary basis, the SECOND SUN™ may be used to boost the pressure in a container that has been over drawn and refrigerated.
Page 10 The SECOND SUN™ is a “staged” heater consisting of a smaller portion called the “pilot” heater and a larger section called the “main” heater. These two sections are both contained within the overall heater and cannot be seen without removing the catalyst material.

Page 13: Installation
INSTALLATION GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Install the Second Sun™ on a “raised” tank to allow space for the heater to be rotated under the tank. Inspect the heater face visually for any damage to the catalyst material. At the same time, the tank surface, covered by the heater, should be inspected for corrosion, using the same method for inspecting all other exposed surfaces.

Page 19: Operation
OPERATION GENERAL Second Sun™ is controlled by tank pressure. The tank heater utilizes an adjustable operating pressure switch with a range of 55 psi – 100 psi. When the pressure in the storage tank falls below the operating switch set point the heater will cycle on providing heat (energy) into the liquid stored in the tank.

Page 21: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Second Sun™ is designed for long term trouble free operation. Because of the nature of its use, and the low maintenance requirements, it is important to provide scheduled maintenance. Below is a check off list for annual inspections.
