Understanding the Importance of Correct Tundish Installation
The tundish is a critical component in an unvented cylinder system, acting as a visual warning sign for potential issues. It's a small, open funnel that allows you to see if the pressure relief valve is discharging water. Incorrect installation or obstruction of the tundish can prevent you from identifying problems early, potentially leading to more serious issues. Our engineers ensure the tundish is correctly positioned and connected, allowing for easy visual inspection and safe discharge of any excess pressure.
