Do not try to do repairs or any other maintenance work you
do not understand. Obtain a Service Manual from
Fulton Ltd or call a Fulton Service Engineer.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure all parts
supplied with the boiler are tted in a correct and safe manner.
The instructions provided for the operation and maintenance of the system MUST be observed.
Failure to do so could result in damage to the boiler and serious personal injury.
!
Prior to shipment, the following tests are made to assure the customer the highest standards of manufacturing:
a) Material inspections
b) Manufacturing process inspections
c) ASME welding inspection
d) ASME hydrostatic test inspection
e) Electrical components inspection
f) Operating test
g) Final engineering inspection
h) Crating inspection
Rigging your heater into position should be handled by a competent rigger experienced in handling heavy
equipment.
The customer should examine the heater for any damage, especially the refractories.
!
Understand the electrical circuit before connecting or
disconnecting an electrical component. A wrong connection
can cause injury and or damage.
A defective heater can injure you or others. Do not operate
a which is defective or has missing parts. Make sure
that all maintenance procedures are completed before using
the system. Do not attempt repairs or any other maintenance
work you do not understand. Obtain a Service Manual from
Fulton or call a Fulton Service Engineer.

- WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any
phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas
supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the re de-
partment.

During operation, any leaks are usually detected by a small
amount of vapour. Leaks should be attended to as soon
as possible because under certain circumstances, such as
saturated insulation, thermal uid can ignite when exposed
to air and heat.
Fulton Ltd cannot be held responsible in the case of
accident or damage resulting from the use of
inadequate uid.
Unless specially ltered, compressed air will introduce
moisture into the system. Dry air or Nitrogen is
recommended.
Some plastics can be dissolved by thermal uid.
Do not use system circulating pump for system lling.
A pump that has been used for water or for a
different thermal uid should not be used prior to
extensive cleaning. Thermal uid can be damaged by
contact with moisture or other uids.
Pressurising a drum to force uid into the system is not
recommended. The drum can easily explode, creating a
hazard to personnel and equipment.
Tanks are non-code as a standard. Non-code tanks
cannot be pressurised over 0.5 barg. Tanks built to
BS EN13445:2009 are available upon request.
Do not run the pump before lling it with uid.
1. Use extreme caution opening plug when system
temperature is elevated.
2. Wear eye and hand protection.
3. Back the plug out slowly to the last two or three threads.
Allow any pressure under the plug to bleed slowly to
prevent a spray of hot oil.
NoFlash steam may be generated at any point up to the
operating temperature. Watch for gauge uctuations.
All of the above maintenance procedures should be
completed by trained personnel. Appropriate training
and instructions are available from the Fulton Service
Department.
Obey all laws and local regulations which affect you and
your boiler.
Make sure that lifting equipment complies with all local
regulations and is suitable for the job. You can be injured
if you use faulty lifting equipment. Make sure the lifting
equipment is in good condition.
Operating the heater beyond its design limits can damage the
heater, it can also be dangerous. Do not operate the heater
outside its limits. Do not try to upgrade the heater performance
by unapproved modications. Unapproved modications can
cause injury and damage. Contact your Fulton dealer before
modifying the heater.
Only qualied persons should be allowed to operate and
maintain the boiler and its equipment.
Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable vapours
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliances.
Thermal Fluid Heaters have high temperature surfaces, that
if touched may cause serious burns. Only competent and
qualied personnel should work on or in the locality of a
thermal uid heater and ancillary equipment. Always ensure
the working area and oor are clear of potential hazards,
work slowly and methodically.
Max. room temperature not to exceed 38 °C.
In no case should any part of the drive side of the
pump be insulated.
Max. operating temperature for air cooled pumps
varies by manufacturer. Consult instruction manual to
verify.
If the tank is located outdoors nitrogen is required.
High temperature thermal uid, steam and combustible
vapours may be vented through the DA vent connection.
Once the system has been lled, any modication to the
tank or connected piping requires purging of the work area
to prevent ignition of potentially ammable vapours. Consult
factory prior to beginning work. Consult the MSDS (mate-
rial data safety sheet) for your thermal uid for ammability
limits.
Unless the system is pressurised, the inlet to the
deaerator section of the combonation tank must be
higher than or equal to the highest point in the system
to prevent pockets of air from collecting in the system
piping.

Note: If the burner loses ame while driving to a point then:
• Turn the main ON/OFF switch to OFF. Reset the loss of
ame fault. Press Escape on the AZL once. Press Enter on
the AZL to reset the control. The red light on the panel box
door should go out.
• Adjust the air and gas servos for that point while the burner
is off. Follow steps 28-29.
• Turn the main ON/OFF switch to ON.

The Fulton FT-C is a vertical thermal uid heater with a range of 11 models. The Fulton FT-C Thermal
Fluid Heater offers a compact fuel red 4-pass heater design capable of operating temperatures up
to 345°C
The heater is of a vertical, helical coil self venting design, and the pressure vessel coil construction
shall be carbon steel ASME SA106B, Schedule 40 or equal. The design pressure is 13.8 barg
standard at 370°C. The heater will be per ASME Code Section I stamped at 10.34 barg maximum
working pressure, trimmed at 6.9 barg unless otherwise specied. Test pressure will be per ASME
Code Section I. Minimal refractory lining shall be supplied in heater combustion chamber to avoid
thermal inertia and overheating of the thermal uid should a pump or power failure occur.
The shell, coil and burner are surrounded by the pre-heater jacket. This jacket is a welded steel
construction with an integral oor plate and bolted top cover to facilitate coil removal, access panels
for air chamber inspection and has an aluminium inner air bafe. This pre-heater obviates the
requirement for insulation of the heater and simultaneously boosts thermal efciency by preheating
incoming combustion air.

Notes
1. Thermal uid heater is of four-pass combustion design.
2. First pass (radiant): combustion air enters burner fan and travels upward between inner and
outer jacket before it enters top-mounted burner.
3. Second pass (convection): Gases travel back across the inner row of coils.
4. Third pass (convection): Gases continue back down between inner and outer coil.
5. Fourth pass: Upward between the outer coil and inner jacket to the ue outlet.
