ITT HOFFMAN UNVEILS HORIZONTAL BOILER FEED UNITS

Morton Grove, IL -- February, 1996 --- A series of horizontal boilerfeed (HBF) units designed for pump retrofit applications, operating withas little as 2' NPSH and condensate temperatures to 210oF (99oC) has beenintroduced by ITT Hoffman.

Unit components have been selected and matched for maximum performance life.They include centrifugal pumps fitted with carbon/ceramic mechanical sealsdesigned for temperatures to 250oF (121oC). Powered by 3500 RPM, 1 phase,115/230 volt ODP motors, these pumps will deliver two times boiler evaporationrate. In simplex (1 pump) and duplex (2 pumps) configurations, the new boilerfeed units are available in EDR sizes ranging from 9,000 to 40,000 sq. ft.

Internal and external surfaces of each unit's heavy gauge, horizontal steelreceiver are protected with HoffGaurd corrosion-resistant coating. The receiversfeature the lowest inlet design, to facilitate retrofitting in applicationswith low return lines.

All receivers have 2 pump openings, come in 50, 110, and 220 gallon tankcapacities, and are sized for 5 minutes, minimum storage. Separate ventand overflow connections provide a secondary vent for safe operation. Awater level gauge glass includes protective brass rods and shut-off valve.A float-operated make-up valve adds cold water at low level.

Hoffman Series HBF horizontal boiler feed units fit through a 32-inch wideopening, and are manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified facility, for consistentquality and dependable performance.
