9.8 Inspection of hoses
Since steam and condensate hoses are
prone to wear as well, those hoses should
undergo regular checks as well.
9.9 Electrode replacement
» Remove and open cylinder, as
described in section "Removal and
reinstallation of the steam cylinder"
» Unsrew hand nuts (49)
» Remove electrodes (48)
» Install new electrodes (48). Make
sure that the electrodes are posi-
tioned correctly (see exploded view).
» Hand tighten the nuts (49).
» Use solvent-free, HygroMatik-quality
o-rings (for flange, electrodes, cylin-
der base and steam hose adapter).
» Assemble steam cylinder
» Plug the electrode plugs (4) directly
onto the electrodes (48)
» Install the steam cylinder
When cylinder water maximum level is
detected for a period of 60 mins, an error
message (s. FlexLine control manual, „Faults
and warnings“ section) is generated and unit
operation is cut. At the latest, electrode
replacement should then be made.
Genuine electrode length
HygroMatik large area electrodes made from
stainless steel have the following genuine
lengths:
Electrode wear
Eelctrode wear depends on:
• composition and conductivity of the
supply water
• the amount of steam produced
In case of the electrodes being burned-off to
less than one third to half of their genuine
length, electrode replacement should be
made.
