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.

There are a lot of factors to consider,but if you have a properly designed system(free-board space,cooling/heating coil placement,temperature controls and settings,desicant package and cover or hood design)you can leave it on during the week.Over the weekend you may choose to shut it down per the proper cooldown procedures.Dewey
