Purging of fired heater coils using steam (winterizing)

Description

Recently a serious injury occurred to a chemical truck operator’s assistant when a diesel fired heater was being “winterized” by purging the internal heater’s coils using a process called “steaming out the coils”. The seat of the diesel fired heater’s external outlet valve failed, releasing a jet of steam that propelled the operator’s assistant into a nearby truck’s bumper resulting in serious head injuries and steam burns.
