TOSHIBA INSTRUCTION MANUAL BOLT HEATERS FINAL TOSHIBA CORPORATION yay 00.11.24 E-KS200404 - a 00. 1. 2E- KS200404- a 1/3 BOLT HEATERS This manual covers general instructions for a proper application of the bolt heaters. This manual also includes the specific important notice for safety when using the bolt heaters. 1) Do not use the bolt heaters except a qualified and skillful person because incorrect and improper use will cause electric shocks and burns. 2) Do not touch the heating elements of the bolt heaters because the hot elements will cause burns. 1. Introduction The bolt heaters are provided in order to ease disassembling and reassembling work by thermal extension of the bolts due to the electrical heaters when loosening and tightening the casing horizontal joint bolts and the steam valves cover joint bolts. 2. General Instructions 1) Each specified extension value of the bolts should be checked with the maintenance drawings, “Arrangement of Joint Studs’. 2) Ground from the power source panel or box before turning on the electricity. 3) Insert the heaters softly into the bolt holes. Do not drop or throw away those. 4) Do not insert or draw out the live or hot heaters. It can cause a break of the heaters. 5) The whole heating elements area should be immersed into the bolt holes for efficient heating.

If the bolt heater is inserted into a larger hole than expected, a wide space between the bolt and the heater will cause poor heat conduction and the surface temperature of the heater will rise abnormally, resulting in shortening the life of the heater. 00.11.24E- KS200404- a 2/3 —_———— 7) When the bolt heaters are in storage, their insulation resistance may possibly fall due to moisture absorbed to the heaters. If such a poor insulation resistance happens, heat the non heating area up to 300deg.C (570deg.F) to 400deg.C (750degF) with a gas burner and switch on the heater during three to four minutes. Then the insulation resistance may be recovered if it is caused due to moisture. 50mm: Non heating area 8) Keep the minimum bending radius of the flexible heaters.
