TM 5-3895-368-14&P Section III. - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Figure 3-1.  Controls and Instruments. 3-1. Controls and Instruments. a.    General.    Before  beginning  operation  of  the asphalt melter unit, operators should become thoroughly familiar with the location and  function of  all controls and instruments.    The  following  paragraphs  describe  each control   and   instrument   unique   to   the   asphalt   melter. Consult  operator  instructions  supplied  with  heat  source unit   and   asphalt   distributor   pump   for   identification   of controls on those units. b.    Thermometer.    The  asphalt  material  tempera- ture  gauge  (Figure  3-1)  is  a  direct,  gauge  reading,  bi- metal thermometer for monitoring the temperature of the melted  asphalt  material  in  the  storage  tank.    For  most efficient transfer of asphalt material, temperature  should be   maintained   at   approximately   235°F.      for   85-100 penetration asphalt cement. c.  Tunnel Inlet Gate Valve.  The tunnel inlet gate valve (Figure 3-1), located at the right side of the melter, is an all iron, rising stem gate valve, with a forged steel disc.    This  valve  is  used  to  regulate  the  flow  of  heat transfer oil to the heat coils of  the  de-drumming  tunnel. During dedrumming operations, this valve is normally  in the  full  open  position.    When  de-drumming  has  been completed,  this valve is closed, directing all heat transfer oil to the heat coils in the bottom of the storage tank. d.    Storage  Tank  Inlet  Gate  Valve.    The  storage tank  inlet  gate  valve  (Figure  3-1),  located  on  the  lower piping   connection   to   the   storage   tank,   is   identical   in construction  to  the  tunnel  inlet  gate  valve.    This  valve regulates the flow of heat transfer oil to the heating coils in the storage tank.  During de-drumming operations, this valve  must  be  used  in  conjunction  with  the  tunnel  inlet gate valve to divide the flow of heat transfer oil between 3-1
