Specifications_on_Steam_Kettle.pdf

This is a product specification document for Vulcan's KEL Series electric floor-mounted stationary kettles. The document details three available models: the K20EL (12 kW, 20-gallon capacity, discontinued), the K40EL (18 kW, 40-gallon capacity), and the K60EL (18 kW, 60-gallon capacity). All models are electric self-contained kettles constructed with stainless steel and feature ½-jacket design for steam heating. Standard features include ellipsoidal bottom kettle liners formed from type 316 and 304 stainless steel, heavy bar rims, embossed measurements, faucet brackets, 50 psi steam jacket ratings, spring-assisted hinged covers with condensate rings, two-inch compression tangent draw-off valves with perforated strainers, tubular stainless steel legs with flanged feet, and water-resistant controls. Controls include power switches, power-on lights, solid-state temperature controls, vacuum/pressure gauges, pressure relief valves, low-water lights, and low-water shut-offs. All models include one-year limited parts and labor warranties and meet UL sanitation standards per ANSI/NSF Standard #4 and ASME code requirements.

Optional upgrades include three-inch compression tangent draw-off valves with perforated strainers, security facility packages with tack-welded fasteners and stainless steel step-over covers, and increased kW options for 40-60 gallon models (three-phase only). The kettles have single-point electrical connections at 1½-inch diameter and accept water connections for faucet accessories only. True working capacities range from 80 quarts for the K20EL to 160 quarts for the K60EL. Detailed amperage specifications and circuit requirements are provided for various electrical service configurations (208V, 240V, 480V single and three-phase). CAD and Revit files are available. Accessories sold separately include clean-up kits, whips, strainers, faucets with various configurations, and washdown hoses with vacuum breakers. The document includes dimensional drawings and technical specifications for installation and integration purposes.
