10.
Next, verify that the gas pressure
downstream of the SSOV is 1.8” W.C. for
both FM and IRI gas trains. If gas pressure
adjustment is required, remove the brass
hex nut covering the SSOV gas pressure
adjustment screw (Figure 4-3). Make gas
pressure adjustments using a flat-tip
screwdriver to obtain 1.8” W.C.

11. Increase the valve open position to 100%
and verify that the gas pressure downstream
of the SSOV remains at 1.8” W.C. Readjust
pressure if necessary. -
12. With the valve position at 100%, insert the
combustion analyzer probe into the flue
probe opening and allow enough time for the
combustion analyzer to settle.
13. Compare the measured oxygen level to the
oxygen range for the inlet air temperature
shown in Table 4-1. Also, ensure that the
carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxide
(NOx) readings do not exceed the values
shown.

14. If necessary, adjust the iris air damper
shown in Figure 4-4 until the oxygen level is
within the range specified in Table 4-1.
15. Once the oxygen level is within the specified
range at 100%, decrease the valve position
to 70%.
