(when the pstat reached the set pressure) From: mdp...@hotmail.com To: brewtus@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Steam pressure rises without stopping Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2013 15:50:48 -0500
The safety relief valve hisses at 1.8 or so. It is new. There are no leaks at the threads.Testing with a meter revealed that there was still current to the element (steam) when the indicator light turned of (when the peat reached the set pressure). Removal of the red wire on the element and the element still receives current. PID appears to be wired per WLL instructions. So the element is getting current and therefore heat after the pstat reaches a level where the element should turn off when the indicator light turns off. Pstat is wired the same way the old pstat was wired.

It's not the vacuum breaker hissing is it? What is the relief pressure rating on the safety valve? I'd expect it be at least 1.8 bar and higher so should not hiss until then. Also is it hissing due to valve opening or bad seal on valve threads? I guess you have the p-stat wired correctly? There are often three connections on the switch common, normally open and normally closed. You need common and normally closed.

Sent back to WLL and they fixed that, among other things. I had the machine working for around a week and the safety valve blew. Long story short, I purchased a new pstat and safety valve. Installed them tonight and no matter where I set the pstat, the pressure in the steam boiler continues to rise until the safety valve starts to hiss. It will go we'll above 1.5. 1.7, 1.8. Any ideas what old be causing it? After initial install I removed the tube leading o the pstat to check for debris. I found none, and none in the pstat. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
