1.2General
This manual contains instructions for operating and maintaining a Clayton Steam Generator.
Recommendations given herein result from many
years of experience in the manufacture and service
of this type of equipment. The efficiency and ser-
vice of your steam generator will depend upon strict
adherence to these instructions. It is important that
the operator study all sections of this manual to gain
a working knowledge of the operation and maintenance requirements of the Clayton Steam Generator.
The information contained in this manual
applies to gas-fired machines. Section II of this
manual acquaints you with the machine. This section provides an overview and descriptions of a
machine’s systems, such as the water supply and
fuel system. The machine overview includes a discussion on the theory of operation of a Clayton
Steam Generator.
Before a new machine is placed into service,
the residual mill scale and other contaminants
developed during manufacturing must be purged
from inside the heating coil. This initial firing procedure and other pre-startup requirements are discussed in Section III. If this is your first experience
with a Clayton Steam Generator, then you should
familiarize yourself with its controls by reviewing
Section IV. This section discusses machine startup,
filling, wet shutdown, dry shutdown, and introduces
the Operator Interface Unit (OIU).
Section V provides some common troubleshooting procedures for problems that may occur
during the machine’s operation. Section VI discusses the scheduled maintenance requirements that
will help maintain the efficiency and reliability,
increase the operating life, and minimize the downtime of the machine. Section VII contain procedures
for maintaining, repairing, or replacing components
and assemblies on the machine.
The appendices at the end of this manual con-
10/02/20181-1Sect01_CSMG_a.fm

Steam Master Instruction Manual
tain supplemental instructions, reference tables and
charts, and the parts catalog, which is used for
ordering replacement parts. The parts catalog contains illustrations of steam generator assemblies and
their corresponding parts list.
1.3Feedwater Treatment
Proper and adequate feedwater treatment must
be used from the time your Clayton steam generator
is commissioned. Suitable water treatment equipment should be installed before placing the steam
generator into service. Daily treatment and care of
the feedwater supply is the sole responsibility of the
user.
Continuous feedwater treatment is required at
all times, even during the periods of wet lay-up
shutdowns. Water testing must be conducted daily,
even during the periods of wet lay-up shutdowns.
A separate feedwater treatment manual (part number: R015216) is provided with every Clayton Steam
Generator. This manual covers the available water
treatment packages from Clayton, general guidelines on scheduled feedwater maintenance, and the
appropriate chemicals required for treatment to minimize the down time of your machine.
Sect01_CSMG_a.fm1-210/02/2018

Section IIDESCRIPTION
2.1General
The Clayton steam generator will deliver its
rated output of 99 percent quality steam (containing
less than one percent moisture) per hour from 60° F
(16° C) feedwater. It will develop its full rated
steam pressure within five minutes from a filled
coil, cold start condition.
Standard equipment includes safety devices
for protection against water failure, burner failure,
excessive pressure and electrical overload. Automatic controls regulate the flow of feedwater and
modulate the burner in accordance with steam
demand.
2.2Water and Steam System
(See Fig. 2-1.)
2.2.1Flow
Makeup water, chemicals, and process condensate returns blend in the hot-well tank and then
flow, either by gravity or by booster pump, into the
feedwater pump. Chemically treated feedwater is
pumped directly into the heating coil, flowing
through the spiral single-passage section of the coil
in a direction opposite that of the combustion gases
(counterflow principle). As the steam-water mixture
leaves the generating section, it passes into the separating nozzle of the steam separator. Steam is
delivered from the discharge outlet of the steam
separator. The surplus liquid is returned to the hotwell tank through the steam trap mounted on the
steam separator.
A reciprocating pump diaphragm displaces feedwater through the discharge side of the check-valve
housing into the heating coil. Corrosion-resistant
springs, discs, and seats are used in the check-valve
housings.
Tubular water columns (standpipes) separate
the check-valve housings from the pump heads to
keep excessive temperature from the diaphragms.
Discharge snubbers absorb pressure pulsations to
stabilize feedwater delivery. Intake surge chambers
on the pump suction help stabilize feedwater supply. A relief valve protects the pump against overpressure.
2.2.3Heating Coil
The heating coil consists of a series of carbon
steel spirally wound tube sections (commonly
referred to as pancakes or pancake sections). The
heating coil is constructed in a single-pass, monotube design. A counterflow method of fluid circulation, at controlled velocities, is used to provide
maximum heat transfer. The combustion gases flow
upward around the tubes of the heating coil while
the fluid inside the tubes is circulating in a downward direction. The heating coil is constructed to
allow free expansion.
2.2.2Feedwater Pump
The Clayton positive displacement, diaphragm-type, feedwater pump ensures a wet-tube
heating coil by delivering the required volume of
water to the heating coil under all load conditions.
motor and burner control circuits on a severe overtemperature condition. It must be manually reset
before normal operation can be resumed. This is
done through 010. A “STEAM COIL TEMP. -
OVER LIMIT-” safety shutdown condition will be
indicated on the OIU, and an audible alarm will
sound.

Section II–Desc ription
2.2.3.2 Thermocouple sensor
MTLC2 and MTLC1 each use one-half of a
dual-element thermocouple sensor. The sensor is
inserted in the coil steam discharge outlet. See Fig.
2-2.
2.2.4Steam Separator
The steam separator is designed to expel
excess water from the steam-water mixture discharged from the heating coil. The steam-water
mixture enters the separator at a high velocity and
passes through the nozzle vanes inside the separator, which causes the steam-water mixture to swirl.
The centrifugal action of the swirling forces the
heavier water in the steam-water mixture to the separator wall, where the water then cascades to the
Table 2- 1: Pressure-Temperature
bottom of the separator. What results is “dry” steam
being discharged from the steam separator outlet
(A–Fig. 2-1).
The excess water in the separator is recirculated back to the hot-well tank when the fluid level
rises high enough to activate the inverted bucket in
the steam trap. This method of mechanical separation prevents carry-over of liquid and chemical
treatment into the steam system.
Under normal operating conditions, the indicated temperature should be close to the saturation
temperature relative to the pressure at the separator
(See Pressure - Temperature Table 2-1.). A substantial temperature rise above the saturation
temperature for the corresponding operating pressure indicates a water shortage condition.
The steam trap returns excess water from the
steam separator to the hot-well tank. Some trapping
is necessary to ensure that a sufficient volume of
feedwater is circulating through the heating coil and
that dissolved solids are being carried through the
heating coil back to the hot-well tank. The actual
amount of trapping depends on operating conditions, steam pressure, feedwater temperature, pump
conditions and firing rate.
A trap (discharge) pressure gauge is provided
to indicate when the steam trap is either open or
closed. A rising pressure on the gauge indicates that
the steam trap is discharging water. When the pressure begins to drop, the trap is closed. If the steam
trap is not opening and closing in the normal manner, this may indicate that one of the above
mentioned variables has changed.
On initial start of the machine, after the correct air-fuel rate has been established, the operating
temperature and trap-open time should be recorded.
These figures should be checked regularly to assure
that the machine is operating properly.
If the steam generator is connected to an open
(hot-well) system where the feedwater temperature
is 180°–200° F (82°–93° C), the steam trap should
be open for 30–40 minutes (accumulated) of each
hour at high-fire operation (100% rate). At steady
low-fire operation (20% rate), the steam trap should
be open for six to eight minutes (accumulated) of
each hour, or a proportionate length of time for any
intermediate firing rate.
Checking and recording for the duration that
the steam trap remains open under normal operating
conditions helps to determine if a component, such
as the feedwater pump (which has a fixed pumping
rate), is malfunctioning.
A reduction in the firing rate due to a decrease
in fuel pressure will increase the trapping time. A
decrease in the pump rate will decrease trapping
time. Trap-open time should not fall below twelve
minutes per hour at high fire and four minutes per
hour at low fire (accumulated) under any
conditions.
2.3Control Devices
2.3.1Group Motor Protectors (GMP)
The group motor protectors function as a
3-phase, manual, motor starter/protector for control
and protection of their respective motor(s). These
short circuit protection devices are equipped with
adjustable, phase loss sensitive, bimetallic overload
trips and adjustable magnetic trips. If tripped, a
manual reset is required.
2.3.2Gas Pressure Switch - High (GPSH)
This normally-closed safety switch is connected in series with the combustion control circuit.
It is situated between the main gas cock and modulating gas valve.
NOTE
The GPSH is located inside the gas burner
housing. Gaining access to the GPSH
requires removal of the housing cover.
This switch will open to interrupt burner operation in the event of high burner gas pressure. A
manual reset is required after each interruption. The
GPSH is factory set to actuate at approximately
50% above the normal burner operating pressure at
the maximum firing rate.
2.3.3Gas Pressure Switch - Low (GPSL)
There are two GPSL safety switches installed
in series with the combustion control circuit. These
normally-closed safety switches will open in the
event of a low supply gas pressure, disrupting
burner operation.
One of the two GPSLs is installed at the inlet
of the gas train, immediately upstream of the safety
shutoff valve (See Fig. 2-3.). This switch requires a
manual reset following its actuation and at the time
of initial machine firing. A second GPSL is
installed immediately downstream of the main gas,
electro-hydraulic, actuator valve (MGV). This
switch does not require a manual reset following
actuation.
The GPSL is factory set to actuate at approximately 50% below the normal burner operating
pressure at the maximum firing rate.

2.3.8Variable Speed Drive (VSD)
2.3.4Limit Pressure Switch (LPS)
This safety limit switch is connected in series
with the holding circuit. In the event of excessive
steam pressure, the LPS will open, removing control voltage from the holding circuit, shutting down
the machine. A manual reset is required before the
machine can be restarted.
2.3.5Main Gas Valve (MGV)
This valve is an electrically-operated,
hydrometer gas valve. It is piped in series and wired
in parallel with the safety shutoff gas valve (SSGV).
It has a built-in regulating function. It provides positive gas shutoff within one second.
2.3.6Power Supply
The power supply provides a filtered 24 VDC
power supply to the PLC.
2.3.7Stepdown Transformer (115 VAC)
ST1 is a 230/115 vac step-down transformer
that supplies 115 vac to control circuit voltage. (See
Fig. 2-4 for connection points.)
The VSD provides variable frequency input to
the feedwater pump motor(s), dictating the rpm of
the feedwater pump(s). It is controlled by a
4-20 mA reference voltage signal from the PLC.
Detailed information on operation, programming,
and troubleshooting is provided in VSD manufacturer’s operators manual provided at time of initial
startup.
2.4PLC (Programmable Logic
Controller)
The PLC is responsible for the monitoring and
managing a machine’s operation. The primary operation that the PLC oversees is synchronization of
the burner and feedwater pump. The proper feedwater flow rate to firing rate is important for meeting
the steam load.
Another task the PLC performs is alarm
annunciation. The PLC monitors the various safety
devices installed on the machine. When a safety
parameter is exceeded, the PLC causes an alarm
condition. Depending on the alarm, the PLC may
also cause a machine shutdown.
During the ON fill cycle, a FILL CYCLE flag
(at the bottom of the default OIU display) will flash
indicating pump activation:

PRECAUTIONS
3.1GENERAL SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
A steam generator and its parts are based on
physical processes, each with typical characteristics
and potential hazards. All necessary safety
precautions were taken during the design and
construction of the generator. However, during
certain manipulations or maintenance, there are still
remaining risk factors. These are described below:
3.1.1Hot Components
Fire injury let hot components cool down to
ambient temperature. Use insulating or heat
repellent protective clothing, especially gloves. Do
not wear short sleeves.
3.1.2Poorly-vented Boiler Rooms
Ambient temperature rise, lack of oxygen,
dehydration, fainting, combustion gases
accumulates in boiler room leading to suffocation
and poisoning.
Construct permanent or temporary ventilation
openings in the wall or ventilators with sufficient
capacity. The generator must be able to function
normally during ventilation. Insufficient oxygen can
lead to poisonous CO gas.
3.1.3Frost
Supercooling and exhaustion. Wear warm
clothing. Contact with cold metals can lead to stiff
and, hence, less sensitive hands, creating a greater
chance for hand injury.
the key from the switch. If you need to work on parts
without protective screens, make sure not to wear
loose clothing such as ties, open coats, etc. Only
authorized personnel should be present near the
generator.
3.1.5Protruding Parts
Body/head injury. Wear a helmet to prevent
head injuries.
3.1.6Sharp Parts and Rough Edges
Rough edges from mechanical wear or
dismantling of parts. Wear gloves and use the right
tools.
3.1.7Welding and Grinding
Hot metal sparks are inherent for these
operations. Wear protective clothing, no short
sleeves. Wear a face mask with side shields and
make sure it has the appropriate color filter when
welding. Glowing metal parts can cause fire. Make
sure a second person is present with fire suppression
equipment on-hand. Make sure vital emergency
contact information is available and visible in case
of fire.
3.1.8Uneven Surfaces and Physical
Obstructions
Injury from falling down or tripping over.
Evaluate the situation before taking actions and
inform other workers accordingly. Make sure to
have the proper equipment available if you need to
work on heights.
3.1.4Moving Parts
Injury to body or clothing. All rotating parts
are screened off. If screens are removed for
maintenance or repair, make sure to cut the ele ctrical
power on this particular part. Use a lock or remove
11/22/20183-1Sect03_CSMG_a.fm
3.1.9Pressurized Gases and Liquids
Skin penetration resulting in injuries,
poisoning, and eye damage.
Page 28
Steam Master Instruction Manual
Fluids or gases under pressure can cause
severe skin or eye damage due to their impact when
flowing through fine openings. They can even enter
the body, resulting in poisoning. Evaluate the
situation before taking any action.
Wrap pieces of cloth around the parts that need
to be opened so that possible fluids or gases get
diffused. Close off isolated areas, so the fluids can be
drained away and the pressure has dissipated.
3.1.10 Heavy or Loose Parts
Injuries by mechanical impact from twisting
or carrying heavy weights.
Use pulleys and gloves when assembling
heavy parts. Save your strength. Use tools, such as,
crowbars and hydraulic pumps as lever or power
intensifier. Appoint a coordinator when several
persons are working on the same job. Watch out for
injuries from crushing during assembly work.
3.1.11 Vacuum Created By Steam or Hot Water
Cooling Down
Injuries by under pressure. A vacuum can be
created in machine parts that are closed off from the
atmosphere and are cooling down, after they were
filled with steam or hot water. By opening these
areas, severe suction can be created by under
pressure. Make sure not to expose body parts to
these openings, since this could cause skin injury.
3.1.12 Water Hammer
Improper ratio of steam to water inside piping
can create water hammer. This is a ball of water
blocking an entire section of the pipe. It moves
forward via the steam against the steam speed. At
seams or curves in the pipes, this ball of water can
create an impact or become a water-hammer. Piping
can be so that the steam escapes and the fixing of the
piping gets damaged.
3.1.13 Pre-stressed Springs
Injuries by mechanical impact. Loosening
parts with pre-stressed springs can cause injuries by
a sudden position change of the parts. Check out
how these parts are interlinked first. Use accessories,
such as, pins to disassemble parts with pre-stressed
springs.
Parts not strong enough to support heavy
weights some parts can bend or break with
overloads. Parts can never be used as a platform,
support or connector. Use ladders or platforms.
3.1.14 Electrical Parts
Death from electrocution. Lock out electrical
power before working on equipment.
Electrocution. Always cut the electrical power
before working on electrical components. This can
be done by locking the main switch or by removing
its key , when there is o ne available. Should repair or
maintenance be needed when the equipment is under
current, use rubber gloves, isolated tools and
isolation between the body and the earth.
3.1.15 Chemicals
Risk of poisoning and burning limbs from
mishandling of chemicals.
Burns and poisoning. Wear face mask,
chemical gloves and protective clothing when
manipulating chemicals. Keep the technical data on
all chemicals used available for persons working
with them. Make sure to note down the phone
number of the poison control center and local aid
services.
3.1.16 Loud Excessive Noise
Deafness and communication problems. Wear
ear protection. When working with multiple
personnel in an excessively loud environment, make
sure to communicate clearly. If required, exit the
loud environment to communicate clearly so
instructions are not misinterpreted.
3.1.17 Human Error
Poor maintenance behavior or
misinterpretation of circumstances is a result of
human error. Human error can be avoided with
proper training of personnel.

Section III - Safety Precautions
3.1.18 Automation
Potential unexpected automatic start ups can
occur if equipment is not secured properly. A steam
generator and its parts can cause all of the safety
hazards explained above, during maintenance or
inspection. Although this equipment is well
protected, caution is needed at all times. Only
trained personnel should operate or maintain the
generator, its devices or parts.
An explanation of specific safety hazards of
equipment component assemblies are in the
following sections.
3.2FEEDWATER PUMP
3.2.1Hot Surface
The feedwater pump receives hot water from
the hot-well. Allow feedwater pump to cool before
attempting repair.
3.2.2Freezing Conditions
Proper freeze protection maintenance is
required if the feedwater pump will be placed under
storage conditions. Ice will form within the
feedwater pump if moisture or water is present.
3.2.3Fluid Under Pressure
Pressurized fluid may be present in the
feedwater pump. Potential high pressure fluid
discharge can occur when dismantling pump.
3.2.4Handling Heavy and Loose Parts
The check-valve/standpipe subassembly of
the feedwater pump is heavy. Make sure proper
lifting apparatus is used when performing feedwater
pump maintenance and repair. If required, seek
additional personnel for assistance.
3.2.7Human Error
Only personnel who are properly trained to
work on Clayton feedwater pumps should handle its
maintenance and repair.
3.2.8Automation
The feedwater pump operates automatically in
relation to feedwater requirements. The feedwater
starts and stops automatically.
3.3HEATING COIL AND STEAM
SEPARATOR
Hearing loss will result from actuating safety
relief valve. Wear hearing protection to protect
against hearing loss.
3.3.1Hot Fluids
Fluids draining from the heating coil and
separator is hot. Maintain a safe distance from
discharging heating coil and separator fluid.
Serious burns will result from scalding fluids.
Wear proper safety gear to avoid serious injury.
3.3.2Hot Surfaces
Heating coil, separator, and plumbing surfaces
are HOT! Although the heating coil, separator, and
some plumbing are insulated, treat these surfaces
with extreme caution.
Serious burns will result from hot surfaces.
Wear proper safety gear to avoid serious burns.
3.2.5Compressed Springs
The feedwater pump diaphragm springs are
under compression in the pumphead housing.
Unseat pumphead housing carefully.
3.3.3Freezing Conditions
Evacuate the heating coil, separator, and all
plumbing of fluid and moisture before long term
storage. Install a nitrogen flush as needed.
3.2.6Electrical Parts
Lock out the main circuit power before
working on feedwater pump to prevent unexpected
motor start.
11/22/20183-3Sect03_CSMG_a.fm
Page 30
Steam Master Instruction Manual
Damage to heating coil, separator, and other
parts will result from moisture or fluid inside the
coil and pipes.
3.3.4Fluid Under Pressure
Before performing electrical work on compact
burner system, shut main gas supply valve(s). Purge
gas from all gas lines. Purge gas from heating unit’s
combustion chamber.
3.4.3Falling Risk
Pressurized fluid may be present in the heating
coil and plumbing. Potential high pressure fluid
discharge can occur when dismantling heating unit.
3.3.5Water Hammer
Improper ratio of steam to water inside piping
can create water hammer. This is a ball of water
blocking an entire section of the pipe. It moves
forward via the steam against the steam speed. At
seams or curves in the pipes, this ball of water can
create an impact or become a water-hammer. Piping
can be so that the steam escapes and the fixing of the
piping gets damaged.
3.3.6Vacuum
A vacuum condition occurs when a heated coil
and plumbing is tightly sealed and cools to ambient
temperature. This creates a strong suction at various
access point openings.
3.4FUEL AND AIR PIPING
Death or broken limbs from falling. Do not use
piping and ducting for support.
Gas piping, fluid piping, and ducts are not
designed for supporting personnel. Do not lean,
hang, or apply any additional weight on these parts.
3.4.1Poorly-vented Boiler Room
The heating coil is surrounded by an air cover
under a predefined over pressure. As a result,
combustion gases can only exit the unit through an
exhaust duct. However, if this “air cover” fails,
combustion gases will escape into the boiler room.
This problem could occur when the air supply to the
ventilator is blocked and, hence, no overpressure can
be built up. Also, poisonous CO gas can be formed
due to lack of oxygen. Therefore, always make sure
to close the gas valve manually and secure it with a
lock, if maintenance or repair is needed.
3.4.2Explosion Risk
Death from explosion. Electrical sparks will
ignite gas fumes.

The instructions in this section describe the
standard startup and shutdown procedures for your
Clayton Steam Master steam generator.
Your Clayton Steam Master offer two
operating modes, auto mode and manual mode.
These two operating modes are covered in the
following sections.
The manual operating mode is reserved
for more advanced, knowledgeable
users who are thoroughly familiar with
the Clayton Steam Master steam
generator.
4.2MAIN MENU SCREEN
icon at the bottom-right corner of the various
operating screens.
Not all icons will appear on the main menu
screen, as shown in Fig. 4-1. The icons will be
either active or inactive depending on the operator
access level. The advanced-level screens require

MAINTENANCE
6.1Introduction
Periodic inspections and regularly scheduled
maintenance on the Clayton steam generator is
essential for maintaining its peak performance and
reliability. The following service recommendations
require only a few minutes each day to maintain the
efficiency of the steam generator, as well as, minimize unscheduled repairs. A monthly maintenance
log sheet can also be found in the back of this manual. Proper use of these sheets provides an accurate
record and serves as a daily reminder of the routine
maintenance requirements. Cumulative hours of
operation can viewed from the OIU.
6.2Feedwater Treatment
The Feedwater Treatment Manual discusses
the importance of feedwater treatment. To prevent
internal corrosion and to eliminate scale formation,
proper control of feedwater must be given serious
consideration before start-up.
6.3.4Manual Blowdown
A manual bleed blowdown is used to control
dissolved solids and to remove suspended solids
and sludge. Manual bleed blowdown may be eliminated from daily operation if an automatic bleed
device (optional equipment) is used and the feedwater is tested daily for TDS (Total Dissolved Solids)
content.
6.3Daily Service
6.3.1Record Operating/ Steam Pressure
Record the operating pressure in the Periodic
Maintenance Log (R027906).
6.3.2Trap Timing

to system leakage.
6.4Weekly Service
6.4.1Steam Generator Unit
Purge sludge settlement at the steam generator
unit. Open the steam generator unit maintenance
drain valve fully for about one minute (may be done
while in operation). This purges settlement buildup
from low points in the steam generator system.
Purge process may be required more often
depending on the application of the steam
generator.
6.4.2Hot-well Tank
Partially drain the hot-well tank. Open the hotwell tank drain valve fully for about one minute
(may be done while in operation). This flushes
loose solids from the tank. Make sure fluid is
always visible in the sight glass of the fluid level
gauge.
6.4.3Belt Tension
Check the feedwater pump drive belt for
proper tension. See Fig. 6-2.
Fingers will be crushed by spinning pump belt.
Prevent losing fingers by cutting power to the
feedwater pump motor.
a.Remove the five Allen screws that
attaches the top cover to the feedwater
pump compartment.
b. Remove the top cover.
c.Check belt tension. Belt play, checked
midway between the two pulleys, should
be no more than the thickness of the belt.
d. Adjust belt tension, as required. See Sec-
tion 7.1 in Section 7 for procedure.
e.Replace the top cover when done.
6.5Monthly Service
6.5.1Check Coil Feed Pressure
Check the coil feed pressure at the high fire
rate. Record and compare with the original reading
for an indication of internal scaling.
The normal feed pressure may vary slightly
with each installation. It is advisable to make a note
of the feed pressure right after the steam generator
has been installed. This will provide an accurate
base reference value to check for coil restriction for
the particular machine.
Always note the feed pressure after
the steam generator has operated
for a period of time and is thoroughly
heated; and always note at the same
feed pressure, feedwater
temperature, and at full load.
Sect06_CSMG_b.fm6-204/22/2019
Page 47
Section VI–Periodic Maintenance
NOTE
Fig. 6-3. The thermocouple sensor is installed in the
steam discharge line at the top of the steam genera-
tor unit.
A constant steam pressure discharge must be
maintained under a steady load condition that will
prevent burner modulation. To check the feed pressure, open the valve to the feed pressure gauge just
enough to allow a steady reading on the gauge. Coil
scaling is present if the feed pressure is 30 psi
(2 bar) or more above the normal feed pressure base
reference value (noted right after installation, or
when the coil was completely clean). For example,
it is noted that feed pressure was 300 psi (21 bar)
when the machine was in the new condition. Coil
descaling (Section 6.8) is required if the current
feed pressure reading is 330 psi (22.8 bar), or
higher, for that same given steam pressure.
If rising feed pressure is noted within 10–30
days after initial installation, take steps immediately
to correct the cause and to prevent future trouble.
Consider the following measures:
a.Carefully check to be sure the feedwater
treatment is adequate and is being used
properly and consistently. See that the
water softener is regenerating at regular
intervals. To be effective, feedwater treatment must be consistent and continuous.
quently. If drain cocks are plugged, remove cocks
and use a stiff wire to dislodge sediment. (Water
pump may be operated and coil feed valve throttled
to provide pressure to purge cock if not severely
plugged.)
Stop machine before attempting to remove
drain cocks.
6.5.3Check Dual Element Thermocouple
Sensor
The integrity of the dual element thermocouple sensor must be checked monthly. The sensor is
installed in the steam discharge line at the top of the
steam generator unit. See Fig. 6-3. A temperature
test meter/indicator is required. The thermocouple
sensor check is conducted under two conditions,
when the machine is in operation under load at
operating pressure and when the machine is in wet
lay-up for at least two hours following a cease firing
of the burner.
b. Blowdown the machine more frequently.
It is sometimes necessary to blowdown
more often than specified in this manual to
remove solids that are precipitated in the
form of sludge. The blowdown operation
is not a cure-all, but it will remove some
scale and thereby delay coil restriction.
The Feedwater Treatment Manual
contains detailed information with
regards to the importance of
feedwater treatment and the
recommended procedures and
equipment necessary to prevent
scale and corrosion within the steam
generator.

6.5.3.2Steam temperature reading with steam
generator in wet lay-up
The machine should be in wet lay-up
for at least two hours following a
burner shut down. The cool-down
time may be reduced by increasing
the FILL rate.
e.Record the feedwater temperature read-
ing on the thermometer on or near the
feedwater pump.
Alternatively, a feedwater temperature
reading from the thermometer on the hotwell tank may be used.
6.5.3.3Evaluate recorded values
a.The results from steps 6.5.3.1b and
6.5.3.1d should fall within 40 degrees of
the recorded steam temperature or the
value obtained from Table 2-1 Pressure/
Temperature Table (in Section 2).
b. The results from steps 6.5.3.2b and
6.5.3.2c should fall within 10 degrees of
the recorded incoming feedwater temperature taken in step 6.5.3.2e.
c.If one of the coil temperature readings,
from either the primary element or the
secondary element, exceed the accepted
temperature range, then the corresponding element wiring or connections are
faulty.
d. If both coil temperature readings, from
either the primary element or the secondary element, exceed the accepted temperature range, and they are equal in the
error value, then it is likely that the thermocouple elements are not making sufficient contact with the sleeve that is

6.8Heating Coil Scale Removal
Improperly treated feedwater often leads to
coil scaling—a mineral buildup inside the coils—
over time. Coils must be descaled when this occurs.
This section contains the procedures for descaling a
restricted coil.
A “feed-and-bleed” process is used in the descaling process. A large, open-top container is
required in this procedure to facilitate the adding of
the acid solution and the monitoring of the descaling progress. See Fig. 6-6A/B for hookup diagram.
The heating coil maintenance
process requires 8–10 hours.
Hearing will be damaged from loud burst of
steam discharging. Wear ear protection to
protect against potential hearing damage. W ear
eye protection to protect against potential hot
water spray from relief valve discharge.
6.8.1Setting Up Machine For Descaling
a.Start the machine in the FILL mode (with-
out burner operation). Allow cold water to
circulate through the entire system until it
is cooled. Stop the machine and close the
If valve does not actuate after exceeding pressure setting, open separator discharge valve
immediately.
After test is accomplished, regulate steam
pressure to desired working pressure. Reset the LPS
to its original settings. Fully open separator dis-
feedwater inlet valve (D).

Larger containers maybe required if
severe scaling exists. Review this
entire descaling procedure to
determine if a larger container is
needed.
c.Elevate the container to provide a 12-inch
(30 cm) gravity feed to the feedwater
pump. If possible, provide a pipe outlet 1–
2 inches (2.5 –5 cm) from the bottom of
the container for acid suction.
d. Remove and replace the intake surge
chamber with a suction hose. Make sure
the hose is manufactured from acid-resistant materials.
e.Attach the opposite end of the suction
hose to the outlet at the bottom of the
55-gallon (200 liter) container. If there is
no outlet at the bottom of the container,
fasten a fine mesh screen over the end of
the hose and place that end of the hose
inside the container. Secure the hose to the
container to prevent it from slipping out.
A shutoff valve may be installed at
the outlet of the container. This will
aid in preventing any acid spillage
from the container when the suction
hose is disconnected from the
container.
f.Fill the container with 4–5 inches (10–
13 cm) of clean, potable water. Make sure
the suction hose or suction outlet is below
the water level.

b. Add or remove water from the container
until a steady circulation can be maintained through the system and back to the
container, with about 4 – 5 inches (10–
13 cm) of water remaining in the container. Be sure the feedwater pump
housings are primed.
Wear protective clothing. Mishandling of the
acid may cause serious personal injury.
c.Mix 3 ounces (89 milliliters) of KleenKoil
Inhibitor to one gallon (3.8 liters) of
hydrochloric acid (HCl), or one can of
KleenKoil Inhibitor to 5 gallons (19 liters)
of HCl.
d. SLOWLY add this acid solution to the con-
tainer. Monitor the feedwater in the
container for foaming. Continue adding
the acid solution until foaming stops.
h. Attach a second acid-resistant type hose to
the separator blowdown line. A pipe union
adapter may have to be fabricated to
attach the hose. This hose must be long
enough to reach the containers.
i.Securely fasten the opposite end of the
hose to the container so that it will not dislodge during the descaling operation.
Considerable pressure can develop in the
hose, which can cause it dislodge.
j.Close the separator blowdown valve and
the trap discharge valve.
The completed hose hookups should
create a closed loop system
consisting of the heating unit,
feedwater pump, and 55-gallon (200
liter) container(s).
6.8.2Descaling The Machine
a.Start the machine in the FILL mode (with-
out burner operation).
Adding the acid too rapidly can cause bubbling
in the feedwater pump check-valve housing.
This can lead to the loss of pump prime.
Depending on the severity of the coil
scaling, this procedure can require
50–100 gallons (190–380 liters) of
the acid solution.
Initially add the acid solution slowly until
the circulation can be maintained without
excessive bubbling from the discharge
hose. For example, add about 1/2 cup
(120 cc) and wait for the reaction to subside, then add another 1/2 cup (120 cc),
repeat. As the cleaning operation progresses, acid can be added in gradually
increasing amounts. In extreme cases, it is
possible to completely block the passage
through the coil with loosened scale if
acid is added too rapidly.
04/22/20196-9Sect06_CSMG_b.fm
Page 54
Steam Master Instruction Manual
NOTE
NOTE
e.Continue the circulation for 4–6 hours. A
longer circulation time is required if bubbling still occurs in the discharge solution.
During this period, frequently check
to be sure that the feedwater pump is
primed. The only way to make sure
that the pump is primed is to slowly
throttle coil feed valve until the
pressure rises on the feed pressure
gauge. If the pressure fails to rise,
the pump will require priming. Reopen the coil feed valve after check.
f.Test the acid at regular intervals by adding
a pinch of sodium bicarbonate (baking
soda) into the container. If no foaming
reaction takes place, the acid has been
neutralized and it will be necessary to
increase the acid concentration in the acid
solution.
g. When the bubbling subsides, SLOWLY
heat the solution by intermittently starting
and stopping the burner until the solution
temperature rises to a maximum of 150° F
(65° C). Continue circulation for an additional two hours, cycling the burner
whenever necessary to keep the solution
hot.
6.8.3After Descaling Is Complete
Acid solution will burn face, arms, and other
body parts. Carefully disconnect hoses to avoid
spilling acid solution. If a shutoff valve was
installed at the container , close the valve before
disconnecting suction hose.
Discharging the acid solution into a
local sewage system may be in
violation of municipal codes and
regulations. Verify with local
government regulatory agencies for
the proper method of disposal.
a.Carefully remove the drain/return hose
from the container and direct it to a drain.
b. Carefully disconnect the suction hose
from the feedwater pump and direct it to a
drain.
c.Open the separator blowdown/drain valve.
Allow as much of the solution to drain
from the separator as possible.
d. Reinstall the feedwater pump intake surge
chamber.

Fig. 7-9. Test MTLCs in electrical control box.
7.3Feedwater Pump Relief Valve
Excessive leakage from the relief valve will
result in insufficient water to the heating coil and
will result in overheating. The relief valve (Fig. 7-8)
is factory preset for the following pumps:
• C2 pump .................... 275 psi
b. To raise the pressure adjustment, turn the
adjusting screw clockwise. Similarly, to
lower the pressure adjustment, turn the
adjusting screw counterclockwise. Secure
the adjusting screw with the lock nut after
adjustment process.
It is best to make these pressure
adjustments while the feedwater pump
is off. A feedwater pump that is running
places more resistance against the
adjusting nut.
c.Fully open the coil feed valve. Regularly
inspect the relief valve for leakage during
normal operation.
7.4Temperature Controllers (MTLC1,
MTLC2)
7.3.1Adjustment
Under certain conditions, when starting
the machine, the feed pressure may
surge sufficiently to cause the relief
valve to release a small amount of
water. The feed pressure will return to
normal, however, after the machine
heats and the system becomes
stabilized.
a.Start the machine in the FILL position and
slowly close the coil feed valve until the
relief valve begins to discharge. When the
discharge begins, check the pressure on
the feed pressure gauge.
The MTLCs are installed in the electrical
control box.
7.4.1Check Main Temperature Limit
Controllers
a.Remove one thermocouple lead wire from
the MTLC. See Fig. 7-9 below.
b. Verify that a shutdown occurs and an
alarm is initiated within one minute.
04/26/20197-7Sect07_CSMG_b.fm
Page 64
Steam Master Instruction Manual
c.Replace the thermocouple lead wire.
d. Repeat steps a, b, and c for the other
MTLC.
If any of the MTLCs are suspected of
being faulty, remove it and conduct
further bench testing. Replace the
MTLC if it is faulty.
7.5Operating Pressure Switch (OPS)
Adjustment
The OPS can be adjusted to open and stop
the burner at any desired maximum steam pressure
within the operating range of the switch and in
accordance with Clayton prescribed switch setpoint
parameters. The switch has a fixed differential and
will close and restart the burner when steam pressure drops about 8 psi (0.55 bar) below the OPS
setpoint.
To adjust, turn the large slotted screw at the
top of the switch until the dial pointer on the switch
is opposite the maximum desired operating pressure. The dial setting is approximate and final
adjustment should be made (if necessary) by resetting the switch to shut off the burner when desired
maximum pressure is reached on the operating pressure gauge.
7.6Limit Pressure Switch (LPS)
Adjustment
The LPS is part of the motor circuit. In the
event of excessive steam discharge pressure, this
switch will actuate and shut down the machine
(interrupting the holding circuit). A manual reset is
required before the machine can be restarted.
7.6.1Adjustment
To set the switch (using scale on switches)
manually increase the OPS and LPS setpoints to
some value above the desired LPS setting (a pressure that is about halfway between the original OPS
setpoint and the opening pressure of the steam
safety relief valve(s)). Operate the machine and
slowly throttle the steam discharge valve to increase
the steam pressure to de sired LPS setpoint. Set the
limit pressure switch (dial down) to open (shutting
machine off). Reset the OPS to its original setting

7.7Gas Pressure Switches
Damage to burner unit and steam generator will
result from improperly adjusted gas pressure
switches.
Maintenance and repair of the
packaged burner system and its
ancillary devices should ONLY be
performed by Clayton Service or by
Clayton-authorized service technicians.
A set of gas pressure switches, two GPSLs
and a GPSH, are part of the fuel system (See Fig.
7-10.). These switches will initiate a safety shutdown when gas pressure falls out of range of the
switch’s setpoint.
The low gas pressure switch (GPSL) closes
on an excessive drop in supply gas pressure; the
high gas pressure switch (GPSH) opens on an
excessive rise in burner pressure. If supply gas or
burner pressure exceeds the setpoint of the respective switch, the burner circuit will open and cause a
complete shutdown of the machine. A manual reset
is required if either switch is actuated.
A manual reset is required on the GPSL
installed at the main gas supply inlet. A manual
reset is required on the GPSH. The GPSH is found
inside the housing of the packaged burner unit.
Note: Manual reset can be accomplished
without removing the clear cover. To manually
reset the pressure switch, press the spot on the cover
immediately above the red manual reset button
(Fig. 7-10).
If needed, the GPSL/GPSH setpoint may be
adjusted as follows:
