CSD-1 Controls

Ensures enhanced safety and operational compliance, meeting rigorous industry standards for steam generators.

Automatic Blowdown

Simplifies daily maintenance by automatically draining the boiler to remove sediment, lime, or scale, preventing buildup and prolonging component life.

Split Water Line

Allows for the boiler to receive filtered water, while other components like the condenser can use an unfiltered cold water supply, optimizing water treatment efficiency.

Water Filter System Included

Comes with a comprehensive water filter system to ensure optimal water quality, which is crucial for appliance performance and warranty coverage.

Automatic Water Level Control

Automatically monitors and maintains proper water levels within the boiler during operation to ensure continuous steam production.

Pressure Gauge and Water Gauge Glass

Provides operators with clear visual indicators of the boiler's internal steam pressure (9-11 psi operating range) and water level/quality.

Pressure Control with Secondary Safety

Includes primary pressure control and a secondary safety pressure control to regulate steam pressure and prevent over-pressurization.

Safety Relief Valve

Automatically releases steam pressure if it exceeds a predetermined safe limit, serving as a critical safety mechanism.

Steam Take-Off Kit

Facilitates easy connection of the steam generator to adjacent steam-powered cooking equipment.

Reinforced Countertop

Provides a sturdy and durable work surface on top of the cabinet base.

Stainless Steel Exterior Finish

Offers durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning, suitable for commercial kitchen environments.

Freestanding Cabinet Base with Two Doors

Features a 24-inch wide cabinet base with two doors, offering storage or housing for internal components and easy service access.

6 Inch Stainless Steel Legs with Adjustable Flanged Feet

Equipped with four sturdy legs that allow for leveling the unit on uneven floors and provide necessary clearance for cleaning.

High Temperature Safety Device

Automatically shuts down the boiler and enters a lockout state if the internal temperature exceeds safe limits.

High Pressure Safety Switch

Triggers a boiler shutdown and lockout if steam pressure exceeds safe levels, acting as an additional safety layer before the relief valve.

Low Water Safety Cut-Off

Shuts down the boiler to prevent damage if the water level falls below the normal operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions

For optimal performance and warranty coverage, the water supply to the steam generator must meet specific guidelines: total dissolved solids less than 60 PPM, total alkalinity less than 20 PPM, silica less than 13 PPM, chlorine less than 1.5 PPM, and a pH factor between 6.8 - 7.3. Poor water quality can void the warranty.
The boiler water level control must be flushed at least once a day to remove any accumulated sand, scale, or sediment, ensuring proper operation and preventing serious boiler damage.
The CE-42 is equipped with comprehensive CSD-1 controls, including a high temperature safety device, a high pressure safety switch, and a low water safety cut-off, all designed to shut down the boiler and prevent unsafe operating conditions.
It is recommended to check the boiler for scale buildup every 90 to 120 days. Descaling involves draining the boiler, pouring in a half-gallon of CLR Descaling Solution (or using an optional deliming assembly DPA-1), allowing it to cycle for two hours without generating steam for attached appliances, and then thoroughly rinsing the boiler multiple times.
During normal operation, the boiler pressure gauge should indicate a steam pressure range of 9 to 11 psi.
