Installation Check Points
1) Make sure all piping connections
are complete and tight.
2) Make sure the pressure controls
are adjusted properly.
3) Make sure all electrical connections
in the control panel box, the water col-
umn, and elsewhere are secure.
4) Make sure the door in the boiler
room is closed. Combustion air cont-
aminates can cause damage to the
boiler jacket and stack.
NOTE
After installation is complete and
prior to operation the pressure
vessel should be cleaned.
Cleaning the Pressure Vessel
a) After the boiler has been installed
and before it is placed in service it is
advisable to purge the pressure vessel
of any oil film,dirt, or other impurities.
Clean the pressure vessel as follows:
1) Isolate the boiler from the system
by shutting off the main steam valve.
2) Remove the steam safety valve.
3) Mix washing soda with water in a
one-gallon container and pour it into
the boiler through the steam safety
valve opening.
4) The mixture of washing soda to
water is as follows:
Boiler Size Soda
4 - 6 1 lb. (454g)
10 - 15 2 lb (908g)
20 - 30 3 lb (1362g)
40 - 50 3-1/2 lb (1589g)
60 4 lb (1816g)
5) Replace the steam safety valve.
6) Fill the boiler with water. Water
level is about center in the water
gauge glass.
7) Generate 15 PSI (1.054 kg/cm 2 )
of steam and shut off the boiler.
Allow this hot solution to remain in
the boiler for 10 minutes.
8) Drain and flush the boiler twice
with fresh water.
9) To remove all the oil and dirt from
the main steam and the condensate
return lines, allow the returns to go
into a floor drain or a safe discharge
point for the first week of operation.
CAUTION
Do not store halogenated hydro-
carbons near or in the boiler room.
In general, ensure that the boiler area
is in conformance with established
boiler room requirements. Review
national and local codes .
As a final checkpoint, again,
Water Treatment
We cannot emphasize enough the
importance of proper water treat-
ment: Water analysis should be
made by a competent water treat-
ment concern and their recom-
mendations should be followed.
