If there is a lack of steam, check the following:
 Is the temperature controller on?
 Is the air supply on, and at pressure (18-22 PSI at the steam
control valve, as read from the pneumatic transducer gauge)?
 Is the steam supply valve open, and at pressure (80-100 PSI, as
read from the gauge just upstream of the Armstrong pressure
regulator)?
 Is a thermocouple defective?
 Is the pressure differential between the filter inlet gauge and
the filter outlet gauge greater than 5 PSI? (if this last answer is a
yes, then the steam filter needs replacing)
If there is a constant exhaust of steam coming out of the piping downstream of the
condensate trap, then perform the following (only if properly trained and
comfortable performing these steps, if not, please contact PDC directly at 203-853-
1516, to have someone perform these steps for you):
 First, turn off the steam supply,
 Then second, ensure proper lockout/tagout procedures are
followed, and
 Then third, unscrew the cap, and remove any debris on the seat
that may have caused it to stay open. Use caution when
performing these steps because discharge can be sudden and
hot.
