How to Identify and Fix Common Vacuum Problems ?

Typically homeowners or light commercial users should look for at least 65 psi (4.5 bar)”298 boiler” and above if looking to purchase a “low moisture” Vapor Cleaner. While some of your jobs will require to maximize your pressure, much of your cleaning will require you “turn it down” instead of up.
What should I do if the steam cleaner does not heat up? Check the power cord and fuse, as well as the thermostat and pressure switch. Top up the water. If the water shortage light does not go off, please consult one of our service partners or contact us directly.
The verdict: Kärcher steam cleaner SC 3 easyfix

It might not have the highest steam pressure, but at 3.5 bars it`s more than adequate and its other features – whether it`s the descaling cartridge or the quick-release tab on the microfibre cover – make this one of the best out there for some seriously speedy cleaning.

Low pressure steam is clearly defined as saturated steam under 15 PSIG. The ASHRAE HVAC Systems handbook, section 11.2, defines high pressure steam as anything over 15 PSIG.
Low-pressure steam is limited to 15 PSI (pounds per square inch). High-pressure steam applications require more than 15 PSI. However, with high pressure steam, complex and costly regulations set in.
Steam pressures and temperatures in current practice have reached 97–164 bar and 480–565°C or 593°C. The rate of increase in efficiency with increase in pressure becomes less as the pressure increases.
Steam cleaners work by using low pressure steam (up to 150psi) and very high temperature steam (up to 360 deg F), which kills just about all bacteria, mold, and allergens that it passes over.
A steam cleaner works on the same principle as a pressure cooker – water is heated in a sealed boiler until it boils, creating steam. This takes between one and six minutes per litre of water, depending on the device.
The Karcher SC3 will work on most surfaces including, floors, walls, chrome work including taps and showers, granite tops, upvc and plastic, windows, oven doors & hobs, as well as mattresses carpets and upholstery.
Low-pressure steam can be more economical to produce than high-pressure steam, as it requires less energy to create and does not lead to as much wear and tear on components. Low-pressure steam boilers heat and provide hot water to hospitals, university campuses, office buildings, and multi-family dwellings.
For the purposes of this Standard, Medium Pressure Steam (MPS) refers to any systems operating between 75 psig – 16 psig, and Low Pressure Steam refers to systems operating at or below 15 psig. Medium Pressure Condensate (MPC) and Low Pressure Condensate (LPC) correspond to the same respective pressure ranges.
The most apparent difference between these two systems is implied by their names – their pressure settings. Low-pressure steam systems don`t exceed 15 pounds per square inch (psi). By extension, they don`t heat water greater than 250ºF. High-pressure systems, on the other hand, create steam above 15 psi.
A cyclone is a low pressure system of the atmosphere in which air pressure has dropped below the standard (normal) atmospheric pressure (1013.2 millibar or hectopascal, short-formed as mb or hpa) and winds rotate inward in a counter-clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere and clockwise direction in the southern …
Low blood pressure is generally considered a blood pressure reading lower than 90 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) for the top number (systolic) or 60 mm Hg for the bottom number (diastolic). What`s considered low blood pressure for one person might be OK for someone else.
Depends on the temperature/pressure required. Low even up to 1300°C.
The steam pressure measuring device 1A is mounted in close contact with the outer surface (which can be referred to as an outer surface) 4A of the phase equilibrium portion 4 in the phase equilibrium state of the steam outlet passage 3A of the boiler 2, and the temperature (outer surface) of the outer surface 4A.
Pressure Drop = 11 psi per 100 ft.
For example, saturated steam at 50 PSIG has a temperature of 298°F.
Yes! Steam cleaning is safe for your walls and won`t impact the other members of your household.
🏠【Efficient Cleaning】The 2000W steam cleaner features high steam temperature up to 226°F for deep cleaning.
You should set the clothes steamer to medium heat. This is typically between 150-200 degrees Fahrenheit, which will be hot enough to remove wrinkles but not burn your fabrics.
Can I clean my windows with a steam cleaner? Absolutely. Using steam to clean windows is one of the most effective and easiest methods to use. A steam cleaner is the ultimate cleaning machine that uses hot steam to remove all forms of dirt and grime from windows.
A good rule of thumb is to have your carpet professionally steam cleaned at least once a year, twice if you seem to track a lot of dirt in. This way you get a good, deep cleaning and don`t let the dirt build up. Vacuum once or twice a week to keep it clean in between your steam cleaning sessions.
A: There is an overheat switch inside the fabric steamer that will shut down the unit if it runs out of water and isn`t turned off. But, there will be damage to the unit before it kicks in.

Dirt devil vacuum cleaner–trouble vacuuming dirt and pet hair on carpeting –is the problem with the spinning brush which contacts the floor,  not contacting the carpeting??  I thought (when I bought this vacuum) that the aforementioned brush was adjustable to various heights of carpeting.  Sometimes, it seems like nothing is being vacuumed up –unless I have just put a new bag on the vacuum… Do I need or can I replace the spinning brush on the bottom of the vacuum so it kicks up and vacuums
ANSWER : Try replacing the belt. Rubber belts stretch out after about a year.

I purchased a brand new Eureka Pet vacuum, sorry don’t know exact name but it the one that has the self cleaning duster on it. Last night I used the vacuum on my carpet, it was working fine until I accidently sucked up the corner of a scarf that was hanging off a couch. I shut the vacuum off, pulled out the scarf and and resumed vacuuming. Much to my dismay the suction on the vacuum had ceased. Can you tell me if there is a reset button on the vacuum? The vacuum does not appear to be damage
ANSWER : If the motor is running, there should be suction. Possible problems depend on whether it’s a canister or upright and are:
.A clog in the hose, UR or canister. Detach hose. Drop small coin in one end and lift hose causing it to roll out the other. If it does, no clog in hose. Drop same coin into hose opening on power head. If it rolls out, no clog in PN.
.Broken fan blades, UR. Needs to be taken to shop for repair/replacement.
.
.A reset button is for use if the motor isn’t running, so won’t have anything to do with the suction.

No steam My SV1000 steam cleaner will not make steam. It heats up, but I think the small portholes where the steam comes out are clogged up. Are parts available to change the steam line?
ANSWER : I used the straw to prime the lines and 50/50 mix of vinager and water and it worked perfectly. I then mixed the water container with the same mix and ran it through the system. All works fine now.

I was vacuuming the carpet floor and was not having any trouble at all. I switched the vacuum off and moved it into a different room. When I tried to turn on the vacuum, it would not turn on. I checked with different outlets, used both front attachment and hose attachment. Checked the front part of the motor/ spiral case. This

Unbeknownst to me, someone took the bag out of my Kenmore Progressive vacuum and failed to replace it. I have been vacuuming without a bag for months, and today the vacuum stopped sucking. When I opened up the front to replace the bag, tons of dirt and dust came pouring out. I thoroughly cleaned the vacuum, put in a new bag, but still no sucking power. Just dust coming from the rear vents where one of the filters is. Is the vacuum ruined, or is it a simple solution of buying a new filter?
ANSWER : Sounds like you need to buy a new motor. All that grit and dust will ruin a motor and I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did.
.This is where a vacuum that won’t run without a bag would have been nice. (Aerus for one)
