I apologize if this is the wrong forum, but I did
not see anything else close.
I would like to resurrect an old steam cleaner that
someone has removed the pump feeding the coils, and
have no idea what to use. Near as I can tell from
browsing, the pump needs to be ~200 PSI * 3-4 GPM.
Is this correct?
Don't have any nameplate data, but it is natural
gas fired, and still has a 3-5 HP motor mounted.
The burner is ~4' tall by 18" round (guessing).
Is there a way to check the coils without firing
it up?
TIA

I would run fast as I could to get away from that particular steam generator. It was taken out of service and cannibalized for some reason. To inspect the remaining components would probably cost more than a new one. You can not pick a pressure and temperature as the operating conditions of this equipment varies all over the map.
If you need anymore reason to junk the machine please post.
