1.2 Product Description
The Welker® CSVC Cylinder Steam & Vacuum Cleaner is an effective cleaning system that utilizes heat from saturated and super-
heated steam to clean sample cylinders. Unlike hot water, steam evenly distributes heat to all surfaces. Moisture content of steam
can be quickly and easily controlled by regulating the inlet pressure. The use of a steam separator will reduce moisture in
saturated steam to less than one percent (1%). This system does not require any chemicals, saves on water usage, and facilitates
the simultaneous cleaning of multiple cylinders. In short, the CSVC is an efficient, environmentally-friendly system for removing
contaminants inside sample cylinders.
Welker may custom design the CSVC to suit the particular application and specifications of each customer.
1.3 Safety Warning
1. Steam may be dangerous if the proper precautions are not taken. Hot surfaces and release of live steam may cause
serious bodily injury. Follow safety and correct operating procedures when working with steam. When operating the
system, wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), which could include gloves that cover the forearms.
2. Exposure to steam is hazardous. If not properly controlled, steam may cause serious bodily injury and/or property
damage.
1.4 Important Information
1. Cylinders must be completely emptied and drained before being connected to the CSVC.
2. A damaged steam hose may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
3. Never transport a cylinder with pressure exceeding DOTregulations as established in 49 C.F.R. In cases where the
cylinder may be exposed to varying temperatures, do not allow the cylinder to exceed its maximum allowable
operating pressure (MAOP).
4. Handle the cylinder with care. Protect the cylinder and valves during transport.
5. Once analysis is complete, the cylinder should be emptied safely and placed in a safe area.
6. Welker recommends cleaning and leak testing the cylinder after each use. Refer to the Installation, Operation, and
Maintenance (IOM) Manual for the Welker® SC Single Cavity Sample Cylinder for instructions.
