Steve,

When our degreaser gets on line, the plan will be to shut it down (first
boiling sump, then cooling coils) at the end of the day.  This will save
both solvent and energy costs.  Leaving the unit running overnight,
unattended could also be a safety issue.  It would be a shame to develop a
leak and run the sump dry.

Subject: [TN] vapor degreasers


Technetters,

Do any of you know if you should turn a vapor degreaser off when you are not
using it (say overnight)?  We have one control for the boiling tank and the
cooling coils together and had originally been told by the vendor to keep it
on but we are losing a lot of expensive solvent so now the vendor says to
turn it off.  But if the lid is closed and the cooling coils are also
running, shouldn't solvent loss be minimal?

Thanks for any input.

-Steve
