Options

Spare Parts Package Includes	18-Month Warranty (12-Month Standard) (2) Electric Heaters and (2) Heater Gaskets (2) Sight Glass Tubes and (4) Washers (1) Pressure Control (1) Contactor
Single Service Transformer	Supplied standard with all portable steam generators, the Transformer steps down the primary high voltage supplied for the heaters, in order to provide 120 VAC1Ø for the controls; with the option, only the one (1) primary high voltage supply is required.
Manual Low Water Reset⁴	Manual Low Water Reset trips if the electric heaters shut-off because of a low water condition. Reset must be manually pressed to resume steam production.
Portable Mounting Includes	Wheels Push Handle Single Service Transformer Option
Water Feed Booster Pump	The minimum requirement for your water pressure is the operating pressure +25 psi; if your water pressure is below this requirement, this option must be added. The Water Feed Booster Pump increases your incoming water pressure to overcome the operating pressure of the steam generator. The Pump requires a 5-150 psi water supply with a minimum flow rate of 2 gpm.

¹ Each Electro-Steam™ electric steam generator requires two (2) power supplies: One (1) primary high voltage supply and one (1) secondary 120 VAC 1Ø, 50/60 Hz supply. Each generator is custom built to accommodate only one (1) customer specific high voltage supply for the heaters. 120 VAC 1Ø, 50/60 Hz must also be supplied for the controls, unless the Single Service Transformer option is added.
² Calculations are based off of a 212 ºF boiler feed-water temperature. Boiler feed-water temperatures that range between 60 ºF and 140 ºF, are approximately 80% to 90% of the calculated values shown. Boiler feed-water must not exceed 140 ºF.
³ Wetted Surfaces.
⁴ A Manual Low Water Reset Button is supplied standard with every steam generator, but it is disabled. If this Reset Button is required as per your local boiler codes, simply remove the jumper wire from the back of the Reset Button.
