Chemical Dosing Systems
Copyright © 2007
Maintaining correct chemical treatment of the water supply is essential for all types of boiler to ensure long life and trouble-free operation. Clayton use a straightforward and convenient method of adding chemicals to the feedwater of a Clayton Steam Generator.
The chemicals are stored in a tank and fed into the feedwater by means of an adjustable microprocessor controlled diaphragm dosing pump which is specifically designed for this purpose.
CHEMICAL DOSING PUMP
The standard chemical dosing pump has an impact resistant, glass fibre reinforced body. The operating condition is clearly shown on the front by means of three LED indicators which are coloured green, yellow and red.
Manual adjustment is by means of a multifunction switch on the front and the pump can also be linked to the control panel of the Clayton Steam Generator to ensure synchronised operation.
The chemical dosing pump is virtually maintenance free and can provide accurate, reproducible metering by precise adjustment of the dosing frequency.
CHEMICAL STORAGE
TANK
The Clayton chemical storage tank is of a rigid polyethylene construction supplied as part of the chemical dosing system and sized to suit the particular Clayton Steam Generator model. The tank has graduated marking on the side and the chemicals to be dosed are mixed in the tank as required.
The storage tank can be fitted with an optional low level switch that can be arranged to let the operator know when the tank needs to be refilled.
WATER TREATMENT ADVICE
It is recommended that feedwater treatment should be continuous and water quality should be regularly checked. Clayton provide comprehensive feedwater treatment instructions and our engineers will be pleased to advise on treatment requirements.
Alternative chemical dosing systems can also be supplied to suit particular circumstances or to meet specific client requirements.
