FT-C Vertical Electric Thermal Fluid Heater Manual 12 2013 ISSUE 1
7. The pump should not be subjected to thermal or pressure shock. The thermal uid should,
therefore, be allowed to ow into the casing slowly.
8. Check eld work and make sure that all connections have been made in the proper places.
Check electrical connections to the motor.
9. Rotate the pump shaft by hand to be sure there is no binding or rubbing within the pump or
driver. Correct any problems immediately.
10. Check to see that pump is properly aligned while cold.
11. The pump is properly aligned before it leaves the factory. Because the system expands in
operation, the pump must be realigned when the system is at operating temperature.
12. The coupling alignment of the pump and driver must be carefully checked for angular and axial
alignment. Check the pump manufacturer’s instructions for these specications. The use of a
dial indicator to check the axial and angular alignment is recommended.
13. Realign at operating temperature, if necessary.
14. Make sure that the pump is properly greased or oiled.
For pumps with packed seals, make sure that the gland is nger tight before lling the system.
These instructions are for use when the unit is being started up for the rst time, or after prolonged
shutdown. They are to be used in conjunction with the specic procedure information detailed in the
rest of Section 3.
a) If start-up service has been included in the order, the factory should be contacted after the
installation has been successfully completed and approved by the client’s representative or
engineers. Where possible, contact the factory at least one week before a Fulton service
engineer is required on site.
b) All procedures covered in Operating Instruction sections “Start-Up Preparation” and Filling the
System,” including installation review, air testing of piping, pump alignment, and lling the
system must be completed before the service person’s arrival.
c) Depending on the size of the system and the amount of service time contracted for, start-up
service includes ring the heater, boiling out the system, checking, verifying and adjusting all
safety settings.
d) Careful preparation can expedite the commissioning of your heater. Most delays can be avoided
by following the instructions in this manual. Failure to complete required procedures properly
can result in the need for further service time, at extra cost to the customer.
e) Service people will not commence start-up if there are obvious system deciencies. However,
start-up service in no way constitutes a system design check or approval of the installation.
f) In addition to commissioning the heater, the service person will also familiarise heater room
personnel with the operation of all Fulton equipment. Personnel must be qualied to understand
the basic operation and function of controls.
