Ability and Time to Flush Media

• The fluid can be drained by opening the globe

valve below the EJ and opening the drain in the

bottom of the heater

• A new fluid can be added after flushing the

system by adding fluid through the accumulator

Safety

• Plexiglas panels protect user from fluid splatter

• Insulation around heater and pipes prevent user

from coming into contact with hot surfaces

• Mechanical stops prevent plate from falling on

user during EJ change

Successes

• Fluid successfully pumped via actuation

• Fluid heats to 400°F with a uniform temperature

distribution

• Test stand is reliable and has run over 4000 cycles to date

Failures

• Overlooked small details with hardware and pipe sizing

leading to lost time and purchasing more than we needed

• Trapped air in the heater and EJ

• Overestimated amount of support from heater supplier
