Mounting the Burner on the Hinge Bracket
NOTE: The burner may have been mounted on the CTB at the factory. If this is the case, simply check the clearance between the retention head and the boiler to make sure the burner swings freely into firing position. If adjustments are necessary, follow the procedure below to adjust the hinge bracket bolts.
1. Remove the nut from the burner mounting flange on the boiler cabinet, and set it aside for later use.
2. Lift the burner into position and mount it on the hinge bracket of the boiler cabinet.
3. Carefully swing the burner and check the clearance between the retention head and the boiler throat. There must be at least 3 mm (1/8") clearance, so the retention head is not "bumped" as you swing the burner into firing position.
If the retention head "bumps" the boiler throat, adjust the hinge bracket bolts as follows:
While supporting the burner, slightly loosen the two (2) hinge bracket bolts.
Carefully re-position the burner so it swings freely into its firing position.
With the burner in its firing position, re-tighten the hinge bracket bolts.
Installing the Connector Block on the CTB Door
1. Refer to Figure 3I on the next page.
2. Use the two (2) bolts to install the aluminum connector block onto the CTB cabinet.
3. Remove and discard the red caps and plugs from the fittings and ports on the connector block. DO NOT allow any dirt/debris to enter these components during CTB assembly.
ATTENTION: The connector block includes an accumulator. The accumulator functions like a shock absorber on the oil line to prevent pressure buildup and protect vital burner components. It is important that the connector block is installed as shown so that the accumulator is in a vertical position to prevent sediment from settling in the accumulator. Never operate your CTB without the connector block and
accumulator properly installed on the boiler, or damage may occur to vital burner components.
ATTENTION: DO NOT use teflon tape or teflon pipe dope products on any fittings; teflon residue will plug vital burner components. Non-hardening pipe dope compounds are recommended.

Important Notes to the Electrician
WARNING: Electrical installation of the boiler is to be performed only by qualified personnel (i.e. licensed electrician/engineer). Improper electrical installation can adversely affect the proper, safe
operation of the boiler and may cause serious personal injury/death.
WARNING: Before completing any boiler wiring, refer to the wiring diagrams in Appendix B at the back of the manual. Carefully review the wiring assignments and colors, noting that the Clean
Burn wire colors may not be "standard" or familiar.
WARNING: High earth leakage current / earth connection is essential and must be established before connecting the main power supply.
WARNING: Low voltage terminals are only protected by basic insulation--caution is required.
CAUTION: Use only approved wire conduit and connectors when wiring the Clean Burn
boiler. An emergency stop device (i.e. "panic button") must be installed at ground level in the mains
cable to the boiler to ensure the safety of boiler operators and service personnel. The external disconnect device must employ a contact separation of 3mm in all poles; the external breaker must be an approved type.
CAUTION: The mains cable must be introduced into the control box using conduit connectors which provide adequate strain relief. The mains cable installation must be accomplished using suitably
rated and approved wiring (BASEC or HAR) or appropriate current-carrying capacity. The wires should have a minimum rating of 90 oC (194 oF).
NOTE: According to Clause 4A of 61000-3-11 (International Electrical Standard), the user must determine, in consultation with the supply authority, that the boiler is connected only to a supply with an impedance of
3.773 x 10-3 + 2.358 x 10-3 or less.

Combustion Air Requirements
The CTB system designer/installer must ensure that there is the proper amount of combustion air in the boiler/ mechanical room.
Refer to Figure 4C.
Combustion Air is the required amount of air that the equipment needs to permit the satisfactory combustion of oil, the proper venting of combustion gases, and to maintain a safe ambient temperature within the space at safe limits under normal conditions of use.
The following requirements should be followed for proper supply of combustion air:
Units located in confined spaces (units in a boiler room/mechanical room) must have two (2)
permanent openings, one near the top of the enclosure and one near the bottom of the enclosure
as follows:
1. If all of the air is taken directly from the outside of the building by use of vertical ducts ­each of the two openings must have a total free area of not less than 6.5 cm2 (1 in2) per 4,000 BTU/hr's, or 225 cm2 (35 in2) per gallon of oil, of the total appliance(s) input rating.
2. If all of the air is taken directly from the outside of the building by use of horizontal ducts ­each of the two openings must have a total free area of not less than 6.5 cm2 (1 in2) per 2,000 BTU/hr's, or 450 cm2 (70 in2) per gallon of oil, of the total appliance(s) input rating.
3. If all of the air is taken directly from inside of the building - each of the two openings must have a total free area of not less than 6.5 cm2 (1 in2) per 1,000 BTU/hr's, or 900 cm2 (140 in2) per gallon of oil, of the total appliances(s) input rating.

Oil Tank Installation Specifications
Ensure that your tank installation adheres to the following safety guidelines as stated here and in Section 1 of this manual.
The tank safety label (shown at right) also summarizes these important specifications for tank installation and usage. If you do not have a copy of this label, please contact your Clean Burn dealer for a copy, which is to be affixed directly to your used oil supply tank.
The tank installation must meet all national and local codes. Consult your local municipal authorities for more information as necessary.
Use a minimum 945 liter (250 gallon) tank. DO NOT use a drum as a substitute for an appropriate tank. The tank must be large enough to allow water, sludge, etc. to settle out of the used oil.
The tank must have a manual shut-off type valve on the side of the tank to allow the water, sludge, etc. to be drained from the bottom of the tank.
All unused openings in the tank must be plugged or capped off.
For optimal system functioning, Clean Burn recommends inside tank installations as shown in Figures 4A and 4B.
The tank must be vented to the outside of the building using iron or steel pipe and fittings with an approved vent cap.
Carefully review the oil tank and pump installation details as shown in Figures 4A, 4B, and 4C, including the metering pump installation and specifications for the oil line installation. (Procedures for installing these components can be found in the following pages.)
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are installing an inside oil tank in the same room as the boiler, you must allow a 1.5 m (5 foot) minimum clearance between the tank and the boiler. The oil tank should be set and installed in position BEFORE the boiler is installed.

Connecting Water to the Coil Tube Boiler
IMPORTANT NOTE! Detailed information on the installation and operation of the hydronics system is provided in Section 10 of this manual. The instructions provided here are abbreviated and serve only to indicate when these procedures should be performed; consult Section 10 for the detailed version.
1. Connect the desired header supply and return lines to the CTB.
2. Have the water trim installed by a certified hydronics technician. Heat exchangers must be used for domestic water heater installations.
3. For air separation and elimination, Clean Burn recommends the Enhanced Spiral-Type Air Separator which can be supplied by your local Clean Burn dealer. Installing an air separator helps ensure that air is purged from the boiler, which is necessary for optimal startup and operation of the burner.
4. The relief valve discharge must be piped to within four inches of the floor or to a floor drain. Be sure to allow for clearance to remove the back panel for servicing.
Filling the Coil Tube Boiler with Water
ATTENTION: It is necessary to fill the CTB with water prior to wiring and turning the CTB ON.
The boiler circulator bearings are water lubricated and should not be allowed to operate dry. Filling the CTB with water provides immediate lubrication of the bearings. Purging air from the water is also critical; doing so enables proper startup of the burner.
1. Fill the CTB with clean tap water. ATTENTION: To prevent damage to the CTB, DO NOT fill the boiler with water when the boiler is hot.
2. The pressure gauge should read 0.8 bar (12 psig). If a different operating pressure is needed, contact the Clean Burn Service Department for additional instructions.)
3. Refer to Section 10, The CTB Hydronic System, for additional information.

Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB and CB-500-CTB (230 V / 50 Hz)
Installing the Suction Oil Line Components
ATTENTION: It is critical that you adhere to the following specifications for suction oil line installation (oil line from the tank to the pump). If these specifications are not met, the metering pump
will not function correctly and the burner will shut down on reset. The majority of service problems with the metering pump are caused by leaks at fittings in the suction oil line; these problems are eliminated by ensuring a 100% airtight suction oil line which slants up to the pump.
All suction oil line components must be installed as shown in Figures 4A, 4B, and 4F.
Suction line size is 1/2" (12.7 mm) diameter. Proper installation allows the suction oil line to be filled with used oil during initial priming.
The suction oil line may NOT exceed 183 cm (6') TOTAL vertical lift AND 122 cm (4') TOTAL horizontal lift (which equals 6.0” hg maximum operating vacuum). To determine if your suction oil line will meet this specification for maximum operating vacuum, base the calculation for your installation on the following equivalents:
30 cm (1') vertical = 0.75” hg (vacuum) 122 cm (4') horizontal = 0.75” hg (vacuum)
NOTE: ALSO ADD 0.75" hg to the final sum to account for every oil filter, shut-off valve, and check valve on the suction side of the pump assembly. Sample calculation: 183 cm / 30 vertical cm feet x 0.75" = 4.50" hg AND
122 horizontal cm = 0.75" hg
4.50" hg + 0.75" hg + 0.75" hg = 6.00" hg vacuum
The metering pump must be installed with a 3/4" check valve and screen at the end of the suction oil line, or the pump will not maintain its prime.
Use Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer on every threaded fitting. DO NOT use teflon tape or teflon pipe dope compounds; the teflon can flake off and cause damage to the pump head.
The suction oil line must be 100% airtight for proper system functioning. Use only high-quality flare fittings for the copper tubing. DO NOT use compression fittings. DO NOT use any steel pipe unions. DO NOT use sweat copper pipe. These types of fittings cause air leaks in the suction oil line and will require re-installation.
The suction oil line must slant up to the pump; any high spots will trap air and will not allow the pump to prime.
1. Assemble the suction oil line fittings (from the metering pump to the canister filter):
a. Refer to Figure 4F for a detailed look at the metering pump components and fittings. b. Remove the plug from the 1/4" inlet port of the pump. c. Install the 1/4" x 3" brass nipple into the 1/4" inlet port on the pump. d. Install the 1/4" brass street elbow onto the 3" brass nipple; turn the fitting onto the nipple
until it is tight and faces away from the pump mounting plate.
e. Prepare the canister filter for installation:
Install the 3/4" x 1/4" brass hex bushing into the outlet port of the canister filter.
Check the direction of the arrow for the proper flow.
Install the 3/4" x 1/2" brass bushing into the inlet port of the canister filter.

Install the canister filter assembly onto the 1/4" brass street elbow as shown in Figure 4E. The canister filter must be installed with the arrow pointing towards the pump (direction of oil flow).
Install the 1/2" x 5" brass nipple into the top side of the 1/2" brass tee assembly.
Loosely install the 1/2" brass cap onto this nipple. DO NOT tighten the cap at this time.
2. Install the suction oil line (from the the tank to the canister filter):
a. Refer to Figures 4A, 4B, and/or 4F. b. Prepare a piece of 1/2" O.D. copper tubing (user-supplied) which will function as the pick-up
line from the tank to the canister filter. This copper tubing must have the following specifications:
The tube must be one continuous piece of 1/2" O.D. copper tubing with no kinks
or fittings.
The tube is to slant up from the tank to the pump with no loops or high points to
trap air.
c. Locate the 2" MPT x 1/2" FPT x 1/2" FPT duplex, slip-thru hex bushing (which will
eventually be installed into one of the 2" openings on the tank). Note that the fitting is
marked "S" for suction and "R" for return.
d. Install the 1/2" MPT x 1/2" slip fitting into the "S" side of the 2" duplex slip-thru hex
bushing. e. Install the 1/4" MPT x 1/4" compression fitting into the 1/2" x 1/4" brass bushing. f. Install the 1/2" x 1/4" brass bushing into the "R" side of the 2" duplex slip-thru hex bushing. g. Measure the height of the oil tank (from the bottom of the tank, NOT the floor) to the 2"
opening that you are going to use for the supply oil line. Deduct 30 cm (12") from this
measurement and transfer this new measurement onto the 1/2" O.D. coppper tubing. h. Remove the locking nut and ferrel sleeve connector from the 1/2" slip fitting, and slide them
over the copper tubing. i. Slide the 1/2" O.D. copper tubing through the 1/2" slip fitting, which is installed in the "S"
side of the 2" hex bushing. j. Install the screen into one side of the 3/4" check valve (making sure the arrow is pointing
away from the screen assembly). k. Install the 3/4" x 1/2" brass bushing into the 3/4" check valve. l . Install the 1/2" MPT x 1/2" flare adapter into the 3/4" x 1/2" brass bushing.

m . Slide the 1/2" flare nut over the end of the 1/2" copper tubing, and flare the end of the tubing.
NOTE: Use a high-quality flaring tool (such as a Ridgid Flaring Tool) to ensure that all
flares are made properly (i.e. so they will be 100% airtight). n. Install the flared oil line and nut onto the assembled check valve/screen and tighten. o. Pick up the assembled oil line, and carefully guide the end of the tubing with the check valve
through the 2" tank opening. p. Apply Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer (or equivalent) to the threads of the 2"
duplex slip-thru tank bushing, and tighten this fitting into the tank. q. Pull the 1/2" copper tubing back up through the slip fitting until you see the mark that you put
on the tubing earlier. Holding the tubing with one hand, push the ferrel sleeve connector and
locking nut down the tubing, then tighten onto the 1/2" slip fitting. The oil line is now
installed in the correct position off of the bottom of the tank. r. Carefully bend the oil line up to the canister filter; use a spring bender over the oil line while
bending the tubing to prevent kinks in the oil line. Allowing for the flare nut, cut off the
excess tubing. s. Install the 1/2" flare nut onto the tubing, and flare the end of the tubing. t. Install the end of the tubing with the flare nut onto the 1/2" flare adapter (on the ball valve
assembly at the canister filter). u. Install a vent from the tank to the outside of the building according to code. The tank must
be properly vented to allow air to enter the tank as oil is pumped out and to safely vent fumes
to the outside. See Figures 4A/4B. v. Install plugs in all other tank openings as required by code. w. Inspect the installation. For proper suction oil line operation, make sure all components are
installed and positioned as specified in this manual.

Installing the Pressure Oil Line Components
ATTENTION: It is critical that you adhere to the following specifications for pressure oil line installation (oil line from the pump to the boiler); if these specifications are not met, the metering pump will
not function correctly and the burner will shut down on reset.
The parameters for pressure oil line installation are:
Length of Pressure Line Line Size
Up to 30 meters (100') 9.5 mm (3/8") O.D. copper tubing
(Please note that some installations will allow for a greater pressure line length. Contact your Authorized Clean Burn Distributor for more information.)
If possible, the pressure oil line should slant up to the burner with no loops or high points to
trap air.
Local codes may require the installation of an in-line "Fire-O-Matic" safety valve.
Be sure to check all appropriate codes to ensure compliance.
1. Refer to Figures 4A/4B, and 4H.
2. Make sure you have purchased all the necessary fittings to complete the installation correctly.
3. Install the fittings and components as shown in the related illustrations. Be sure to use Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer to seal every threaded fitting. DO NOT use teflon tape or teflon pipe dope compounds.
Installing the Compressed Air Line
NOTE: Your air compressor system must supply air pressure to the boiler with the following requirements: 3.5 bar (50 psi) and water trap or dryer. If you do not have shop air, an optional air compressor is available. Contact your local Clean Burn dealer for more information.
1. Run a compressed air line from your shop air to the connector block on the boiler. Use minimum 1/4" O.D. copper tubing or equivalent for the compressed air line.
2. Install an easily accessible shut-off valve in the air line so the burner can be serviced without shutting off the shop air in your service area.
3. If necessary, install a pressure regulator (additional to the burner air regulator) in the air line, and set it at
3.5 bar (50 psi.)
ATTENTION: DO NOT feed full shop air pressure to the burner or damage to burner components may occur.
4. Install a water trap or extractor/dryer in the air line with an automatic drain so compressed air (rather than water) is supplied to the burner.
ATTENTION: Water must not be fed to the burner, or the flame will be extinguished and the burner will shut down. Be sure to drain water from your compressor tank on a regular basis to keep water out of the air line.

Wiring to the Metering Pump
WARNING: DO NOT wire the oil pump directly into your building's electrical system. The oil pump must be activated (receive power from) the burner via the pump electrical circuit. DO NOT wire the
pump directly to a wall outlet so that it runs continuously; this will seriously damage your metering pump and/or boiler and may result in a fire or explosion hazard.
1. Install the oil pump electrical circuit from the CTB to the oil pump location using approved electrical conduit (refer to Figures 4A/4B).
2. Wire the oil pump circuit according to the wiring schematic provided (Appendix B).
Wiring the Load Loop Circulator
NOTE: To reduce the amount of cold water returned to the boiler (and to protect the boiler from thermal shock), an optional circulator aquastat can be supplied by your Clean Burn Dealer.
1. Refer to the related information and illustrations in Section 10 and the CTB Wiring Diagram in Appendix B to locate and understand the wiring for the load loop circulator.
2. The cold water return in your CTB system installation should not be below 60 oC (140 oF).
NOTE: For installations where cold water return is a risk, Clean Burn recommends installation of a blending loop. If a blending loop is installed in your CTB system, the load loop circulator should be wired separately from the CTB control box. Refer to Section 10 for additional information.

Installing the Stack
WARNING: Inappropriate stack materials or improper stack design/installation can adversely affect the proper, safe operation of your coil tube boiler.
Stack designs are generally classified as follows:
(1) "Class A" stack through the ceiling of the building (2) "Class A" stack through the sidewall and up the side of the building
Stack Design and Specifications
ATTENTION: The stack design must be single and dedicated for each unit (boiler) according to the following specifications. Failure to adhere to this rule may result in less than optimal system performance.
Figure 4H illustrates the through-the-ceiling stack design for a single boiler; this stack design is preferable and is more commonly used. Refer to Figure 4I for the dual-stacked boiler stack design. When designing your stack, adhere to the following specifications:
Models CB-200-CTB and CB-350-CTB require 20 cm (8" I.D.) stack components.
Model CB-500-CTB requires 25 cm (10" I.D.) stack components.
Dual-stacked units require two (2) stack runs as single stacks.
Ensure that the vertical stack height is at least 3m (10') PLUS 45 cm (1.5') for every fitting.
(e.g. 45 degree, 90 degree, or T) in the stack run. If needed, increase the vertical length of the stack or install a draft inducer to obtain -.02" W.C. draft over fire. (Section 8 contains details on adjusting the draft.)
Keep the horizontal stack run as short as possible; slant it upward at a minimum of 6 mm (1/4")
per 30 cm (12") of run.
Keep the stack design simple. Complicated stacks (with long runs and many turns) reduce
draft and result in poor burner performance. Your stack may include only one 90 degree turn. All other stack turns must be at 45 degrees or less to ensure optimal draft and burner performance.
NOTE: If you plan to use an existing masonry chimney, the chimney must be lined and be located inside the building. Exterior masonry chimneys chill the stack gases and result in poor draft and poor burner performance.
ATTENTION: If you have an exhaust fan(s) in your shop, it is critical that you have adequate make up air (source of fresh air to replace the stale air exhausted by the fan). When an exhaust fan is
run without adequate make up air, the resulting vacuum in the building will draw combustion products back into the burner. This back draft causes poor burner performance and may damage vital burner components. Refer to Section 8 in this manual for additional information concerning exhaust fans and proper make up air.
Stack components should be installed in the following order:
(1) Inside stack (the stack components from the coil tube boiler breach to within 457 mm / 18" of the
ceiling, roof, or sidewall of your building) (2) Barometric damper(s) (3) "Class A" stack penetration through the ceiling, roof, or sidewall (4) "Class A" stack on the exterior of the building (5) "Class A" stack cap

Installing the Interior Stack
CAUTION: Single wall stack components may be used only for those portions of the stack which are located inside your building and away from any fire/burn hazards.
1. The stack can be installed from either side of the smoke hood breach. Install the 20 cm (8") smoke cap onto the unused smoke hood breach ring assembly.
2. Install a piece of the single-wall 24-gauge galvanized stack (minimum 45 cm (18") in length) onto the smoke hood breach.
3. Install an elbow or clean-out tee (with a smoke cap installed in the bottom) onto the extension piece from the boiler smoke hood breach.
4. Install a smoke pipe tee onto this elbow or clean-out tee (for the installation of the barometric damper). ATTENTION: Avoid additional 90-degree turns in the stack. Each additional 90-degree turn slows down stack gases, creates back-pressure, and results in repeated burner shutdown and unnecessary service calls. All other turns in the stack should be at a 45-degree (or smaller) angle.
4-22
Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB and CB-500-CTB (230 V / 50 Hz)
Installing the Barometric Damper(s)
1. Refer to Figure 4J. Install a single wall tee (min. 24 gauge) on the first straight vertical or
horizontal stack section within 1 meter (40 inches) of the CTB breach. NOTE: This tee is required to support the barometric damper. You must purchase this tee when you purchase your stack materials (8" single wall tee - CB#70174). ATTENTION: For Dual-Stacked CTB Units Only - You are required by code to install two dampers (provided) - one for each boiler. DO NOT attempt to substitute other types of dampers--they will not allow the unit to function properly and may void your warranty.
2. Install the barometric damper in the opening of the tee. Use a small spirit level to make sure that
it is properly level.
3. Install two self-tapping screws as shown in Figure 4J (i.e. one on each side of the barometric
damper) to hold the damper in place. DO NOT install a screw at the bottom of the barometric damper, or the flapper of the damper will not operate correctly.
NOTE: Specifications for adjusting the barometric damper for proper draft overfire are provided in Section 8 of this manual.

Installing the Optional Stack Safety Switch
CAUTION: For your safety and the safe operation of your heating equipment, the stack switch must be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with the installation instructions provided here. Wiring
must be accomplished in accordance with all applicable codes. Failure to adhere to these safety recommendations may result in serious personal injury and/or equipment damage.
1. Follow the instructions in the Operator’s Manual, Section 4 to install a proper stack, including the barometric damper which must be installed within 1 meter (40 inches) of the breach. NOTE: The barometric damper must be installed so that it is level and the flapper moves freely.
2. Ensure that main power to the heating equipment is turned OFF.
3. Position the stack safety switch over the lip of the barometric damper as shown in Figure 4K.
4. Drill a pilot hole for the mounting screw, and mount the stack safety switch using the mounting screw supplied with the switch. NOTE: The mounting screw must not interfere with the free movement of the flapper on the barometric damper.
5. Install the wall thermostat according to the instructions provided in the Operator’s Manual, Section 4. Wire the wall thermostat and stack safety switch in series as shown in Figure 4L. Install the wire so that it is secured away from any hot surfaces. NOTE: If a 24V thermostat is not used to activate the boiler, the stack safety switch is connected directly to the landings on top of the control box. Refer to Appendix B for the control box wiring diagram.
6. When the heating equipment installation is completed, follow the instructions in the Operator’s Manual, Sections 5 and 6 to prime the pump and start/adjust the burner.
7. Follow instructions in the Operator’s Manual, Section 8 to check the draft; this is crucial for the proper, safe operation of the heating equipment.

Resetting the Stack Safety Switch
WARNING: BURN HAZARD! To prevent serious personal injury, be sure to allow ample time, at least 30 minutes, for the stack, barometric damper, and switch to cool down before attempting to
access and service these components. It is crucial to identify the cause of the stack obstruction (e.g. heavy snowfall) and correct it before resetting the stack safety switch and re-starting the burner. DO NOT operate the heating equipment with an obstructed stack; failure to correct an obstructed stack may result in fire, explosion, and/or burn hazards causing serious personal injury or death.
NOTE: In locations where heavy snowfall occurs, it is critical that the stack remain unobstructed by snow. For safe heating equipment operation, be sure to keep the area surrounding the stack clear of snow.
1. Before resetting the stack safety switch, check the stack to make sure it is clear of any obstructions.
2. Remove the cover from the stack safety switch, and push the small button in the middle of the switch.
3. Pushing the stack safety switch reset button will re-establish the thermostat circuit, and the burner will
start (assuming the wall thermostat is calling for heat).
Understanding the Function of the Stack Safety Switch
The Stack Safety Switch monitors the temperature at the barometric damper on the stack and is designed to detect the obstruction of the free flow of stack gases from the heating equipment and shut down the burner. Obstruction of the stack results in the “spillage” of stack gases from the barometric damper, which heats up the switch. The switch then opens, disconnecting the thermostat circuit to the burner, and the burner shuts off.

Installing the Stack Penetration
WARNING: When running the stack through your ceiling, roof, or sidewall, you must use "Class A" double-wall insulated all-fuel stack components with a stainless steel liner. DO NOT
run single-wall stack through your ceiling, roof or sidewall. NEVER locate a stack joint inside walls or in a joist spacer. Ensure proper clearances from combustibles per all applicable codes.
1. Refer to Figure 4H as needed.
2. Follow the installation instructions provided by the stack manufacturer.
Installing the Exterior Stack
ATTENTION: All exterior stack pieces must be "Class A" double-wall insulated all-fuel stack components with a stainless steel liner.
DO NOT use Class B Vent/double-wall stack components (i.e. for gas fired appliances only).
DO NOT use Type L Vent/double-wall stack components (for approved fuel oil appliances only).
DO NOT use single-wall stack for your exterior stack. Single-wall exterior stack chills the stack gases and results in poor draft and poor burner performance.
1. Refer to Figure 4H as needed.
2. Follow the installation instructions provided by the stack manufacturer.
3. Install water-tight roof flashing around the penetration of the exterior stack.
NOTE: Clean Burn recommends the use of "Dektite" roof flashing (or equivalent) which ensures a water-tight seal when installed properly. Contact your local Clean Burn dealer for details.
Installing the Stack Cap
NOTE: Proper installation of a "Class A" stack cap ensures the free flow of stack gases which is essential for optimal burner performance.
1. Refer to Figure 4H as needed. Your stack cap should be classified as: "Class A" non-restrictive, all-fuel type.
2. Install the stack cap according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Installing the Draft Inducer
ATTENTION: The Field brand draft inducers have been tested for use on Clean Burn Equipment. DO NOT use other models or brands of draft inducers.
Understanding the Importance of the Draft Inducer
The draft inducer is designed to aid in the removal of the natural draft created by the appliance to vent the combustion gases to the outside of the building. As the paddle wheel turns, a negative pressure is maintained within the stack so that the combustion gases can leave the boiler and travel out of the stack. (See Figure 4M.)
Proper sizing, installation, and adjustment of the draft inducer are critical for optimal draft inducer operation.

Installing the Draft Inducer (continued)
1. Refer to Figure 4M. Follow the instructions included with the draft inducer to mount the draft inducer on the section of single-wall vertical stack.
2. Position the draft plate all the way out so that it does not reduce the draft produced by the draft inducer. You will adjust the draft plate later as part of Adjusting the Draft Overfire (Section 8).
Wiring the Draft Inducer for Normal Operation*
*(No exhaust fans in the building)
1. Wire the draft inducer according to the Wiring Diagram in the Burner Control Box and also provided in Appendix B at the back of this manual.
Installing the Wall Thermostat or Aquastat
IMPORTANT NOTE: A 24V wall thermostat is available separately from Clean Burn (i.e. it is not included with the CTB). If a 24V thermostat is used to activate the boiler, a qualified technician would need to remove the jumper from the external four landings on top of the black control box on the side of the boiler and use it to connect landings 5 and L1 on the internal terminal block. The 24V thermostat is then connected into the optional stack safety switch landing. Refer to Appendix B for the control box wiring diagram.
Refer to Appendix A in this manual for additional information on remote temperature sensing controls available from Clean Burn for your CTB system installation.
1. Select a location for the thermostat on an interior wall away from any hot or cold drafts.
2. Remove the top cover from the thermostat by pushing gently on the latch at the top center of the body. (Hold the thermostat base in one hand, and grasp the body with the other hand; push in on the latch with your thumb, and pull the cover away from the base.) ATTENTION: DO NOT use a screwdriver to pry the cover off the base, or damage may occur.
3. Remove the green paper insert and the black plastic battery isolator from the battery section of the thermostat.
4. Refer to the Burner Wiring Diagram in Appendix B at the back of this manual. Run two wire, 18-gauge (minimum) thermostat cable from the terminals on the back of the thermostat base to the T/T terminals of the control box on the side of the boiler. DO NOT run the wiring to the primary control!
5. Mount the thermostat base 1.5 meters (60" to 66") from the floor using the hardware provided.
6. Reassemble the thermostat body onto the base. (Align the hinges at the bottom of the cover with the slots at the bottom of the base, and swing the cover up into place.)
Replacing the Wall Thermostat Batteries
1. Proper battery level is indicated by the room temperature being displayed on the LCD screen.
2. When the battery level becomes low, a battery icon along with the word "REPLACE" will be displayed in the lower left corner of the LCD screen. Replace the batteries to ensure proper operation, following the previous instructions on the thermostat disassembly procedure.
3. If the batteries are not replaced, the display will slowly become dim and not display any information. The thermostat will eventually not function. If this happens, replace the batteries immediately.

Inspecting the Coil Tube Boiler Installation
Following the completion of all installation activities described in this chapter, the CTB should be inspected by qualified personnel before firing. This ensures that your installation meets all applicable national and local codes and allows for any deficiencies in the installation to be corrected before CTB startup. Improper installation will void your warranty.
NOTE: Important! During the inspection, be sure to check the aquastat settings. Initial settings are listed here:
Operating Aquastat 82
o
C (180 oF) minimum
Hi-limit Aquastat (with manual reset) 115 oC (240 oF)
Refer to Section 6 for burner startup and final adjustments of the aquastat.
Any changes to these settings should be made only by a qualified hydronics technician. See Section 10, The CTB Hydronics System, for more information.

SECTION 5: METERING PUMP PRIMING
Understanding Metering Pump Priming
Preparing your Clean Burn boiler for operation begins with priming the metering pump. The procedures in this section must be performed in sequence without interruption to properly prime the pump.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR DUAL-STACKED UNITS: The priming procedures will have to be per­formed for one burner, and then repeated for the other burner (i.e. get one burner running first before attempting priming of the other burner.)
Required Tools and Materials
The following tools and materials are required for oil pump priming and should be gathered before starting any procedures:
3/8" open-end wrench
5/8" open-end wrench
Rags
Two containers (minimum 4 liters / one-gallon each)
Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer
Adjustable Wrench
Pipe Wrench
5-1
Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB and CB-500-CTB (230 V / 50 Hz)
Priming the Metering Pump
ATTENTION: The priming process must be done precisely as described in this procedure to ensure that all air is thoroughly bled from the system. Failure to bleed all air from the system will result in
repeated burner shutdowns on reset.
1. Refer to Figure 5A.
2. Remove the 1/4" NPT plug from the side of the pump head, and set it aside.
3. Remove the 1/2" brass cap from the 1/2" brass nipple. Place a funnel in the opening. Slowly pour used oil into the funnel until oil comes out of the side of the pump head; this will fill the oil line, canister filter, and pump head with oil. ATTENTION: NEVER run the pump head dry (i.e. without oil in the pump head). Doing so will severely damage the pump.
4. Apply Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer to the threads of the plug (removed from the pump head). Re-install the plug and tighten.
5. Apply Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer to the threads of the 1/2" brass nipple. Re-install the 1/2" brass cap on the brass nipple and tighten.
6. Open the bleeder on the pump two to three (2-3) full turns, and position a container to catch oil which will flow from the bleeder during pump priming.
7. Close the mini ball valve at the outlet port of the pump head. ATTENTION: Verify that the relief oil line is installed back to the tank before closing the mini ball valve. Closing the mini ball valve will cause the internal pump relief valve to open.

Priming the Metering Pump (continued)
8.
Activating the Pump NOTE: The coil tube boiler features a priming switch which is mounted on the left-hand side of
the electrical junction box on the front of the boiler cabinet. The priming switch has two positions:
PRIME (switch is in the UP position / orange indicator light is ON): this is used only
for pump priming. When the switch is in the UP position, the pump circuit is activated for priming. The pump will continue to run as long as the switch is in this position. The oil primary control circuit is de-activated so the burner cannot run while the switch is in the UP position.
BURNER (switch is in the DOWN position): this is used for normal burner operation.
When the switch is in the DOWN position, the burner controls the operation of the pump. The pump will only run while the burner is running.
a. Refer to Figure 5B to locate the priming switch. b. Turn the priming switch to the UP position. The pump should immediately start running.

Priming the Metering Pump (continued)
9. Run the pump until a solid stream of oil flows from the pump bleeder. This will bleed all air out of the suction line, oil filter and pump head. ATTENTION: For the metering pump to operate correctly, it is very important that the system is entirely full of oil and all air is bled out. The burner will shut down if there is any air in the system.
10. Open the mini ball valve at the outlet port of the pump head to allow the pressure oil line to be filled.
11. Close and tighten the bleeder on the pump.
12. Turn the priming switch to the DOWN position so that the pump stops running.
13. Disconnect the pressure oil ine from the burner and position a container to catch oil which will flow from the pressure oil ine during pump priming.
14. Turn the priming switch to the UP position. The pump should start running immediately .
15. Run the oil pump until the proper flow of oil has been established, and the oil line has been completely flushed out.
16. Turn the priming switch to the DOWN position so that the pump stops running.
17. Re-connect the oil line to the connector block.
Vacuum Testing the Oil Pump
Vacuum testing the oil pump is a very accurate way to determine the following:
The condition of the pump -- the ability of the pump to pull a vacuum and suck oil from the tank.
The condition of the fittings, gaskets and seals from the ball valve to the pump -- these components must all be airtight to avoid suction leaks.
The following procedure provides instructions for vacuum testing the pump and canister filter on systems equipped with a ball valve.
ATTENTION: For the pump to pull and hold vacuum, it is critical that all fittings are airtight. If any of these fittings are loose, the pump may not pull a vacuum or may lose the vacuum rapidly. It is also critical that all fittings in the suction line, including fittings on the canister filter, are 100% airtight.
1. Follow the instructions to prime the pump (previous procedure).
NOTE: The pump will not pull a vacuum if the pump is dry. There must be oil in the gears of the pump before the pump can pull a vacuum.
2. With the pump running, open the bleeder two to three full turns, and make sure that oil is flowing from the bleeder. DO NOT close the bleeder yet.
3. Refer to Figure 5A. Close the ball valve at the inlet to the canister filter. Observe the vacuum gauge. NOTE: The ball valve must have a stainless steel ball and should be pressure tested by the manufacturer to ensure that it does not leak. If the ball valve leaks, the vacuum test will not be accurate.
4. The vacuum should increase within 30 seconds to 15 inches of vacuum. When the vacuum gauge reads 15 inches of vacuum, first close and tighten the bleeder, then turn the pump off, and close the mini ball valve at the outlet port of the pump. Observe the vacuum gauge. NOTE: If the pump will not pull at least 15 inches of vacuum, there is a very serious suction leak, or the pump is damaged.

Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB and CB-500-CTB (230 V / 50 Hz)
Vacuum Testing the Oil Pump (continued)
5. If there are no suction leaks, the system will hold vacuum.
NOTE: It is acceptable for the vacuum to drop one to five inches within one minute as the seal in the pump seats. The vacuum should then hold steady for 15 minutes.
ATTENTION: If the vacuum drops more than one to five inches within the first minute, there is one or more leaks somewhere between the pump and the ball valve. Do the following:
Wipe your finger along the cylinder at the shaft of the pump. If there is oil here, the pump seal is damaged. Replace the pump.
Disassemble and clean all the fittings from the pump to the ball valve. Properly seal all fittings with Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer or equivalent. Check the condition of the o-ring on the canister filter and tighten the four canister filter bolts in a crisscross pattern.
Repeat the procedure to vacuum test the system to ensure that the system is air tight.
6. Follow the instructions to prime the metering pump after a vacuum test has been performed.

SECTION 6: STARTING AND ADJUSTING THE BURNER
Understanding Burner Startup and Adjustment
ATTENTION: Before starting the burner, you must fill the coil tube boiler with water. Refer to Section 10 in this manual for more information on the hydronics system. DO NOT bypass the CTB
controls to operate the burner!
FOR DUAL-STACKED UNITS ONLY: Clean Burn recommends that you complete burner startup and adjustment for one burner before starting the second burner.
Starting and adjusting the burner involves a series of separate procedures which must be accomplished in sequence without interruption. Review all the procedures before attempting burner startup and adjustment, paying careful attention to safety information statements.
Preparing the Hydronics System for Burner Startup
The following procedure should be performed prior to burner startup to ensure that all key components of the hydronics system are functioning properly. Ensure that air is purged from the system. If the CTB circulator becomes air-bound, it will not produce sufficient flow to activate the flow switch, and the burner will not start properly.
1. Turn the load temperature controller (i.e. thermostat or aquastat) OFF.
2. Set the operating aquastat (on the CTB) at 82 oC (180 oF).
Preparing the Burner for Startup
1. If you have not already done so, disconnect one side of the jumper wire from the terminal block on top of the control box on the side of the boiler (this prevents the burner from running.) A wiring diagram is provided in Appendix B.
2. Turn the main power to the CTB ON (the green power light on the burner should be ON).
3. Wait at least 15 minutes until the preheater block is thoroughly warmed up. Feel the back of the burner box to make sure the preheater is sufficiently warm. The proving switch on the preheater block will not allow the burner to start until the block is at least 48 oC (120 oF).
NOTE: The preheater block will remain warm as long as power is supplied to the burner. If the main power supply is ever turned OFF, you must wait at least 15 minutes until the preheater block is thoroughly warm before starting the burner.

Starting the Burner
1. Re-connect the control wire. Turn the aquastat to call for heat (to start the burner).
If the burner refuses to start, review the Preparing the Burner for Startup procedure. If, after repeating this procedure, the burner still refuses to start, check the following system components for proper functioning:
Verify that the red wire (per the burner wiring diagram) is energized to 230VAC.
Reset the hi-limit switch.
If the flow switch is not closing, the circulator is air-locked. Air must be purged from the system.
Verify that the prime switch (on the control box) is set to RUN (DOWN position).
2. Adjusting the Air Regulator:
As soon as the burner starts running, turn the knob on the air regulator clockwise to achieve proper operating air pressure. Refer to the Initial Adjustment Charts. NOTE: If the safety reset on the primary control is activated and the burner stops running, see Section 7 for further instructions on restarting you burner.
3. Observing the Flame Length:
Visually inspect the flame length through the observation port. Refer to Figure 6B for an illustration of the desired flame length. The flame should extend no more than one-half of the way down the combustion chamber.
WHEN OPENING INSPECTION PORT
CAUTION
WARNING: The observation port gets hot as the burner fires. To avoid personal injury, always wear heavy work gloves and safety glasses when opening the port and viewing the flame.

Starting the Burner (continued)
6. Checking for Proper CTB System Operation:
Observe the boiler temperature and water pressure.
7. After the burner stops running when the operating aquastat set temperature is reached, check the following:
air has been purged from water lines
water pressure is satisfactory (i.e. not greater than 1.5 bar (22 psi); normal pressure is
0.8 bar (12 psi)
all system controls functioning properly
8. Reset the operating aquastat to the normal operating range; 82 - 93 6 and 7, observing the CTB operation.
9. Reset the load temperature controller (i.e. thermostat or aquastat) to the normal operating temperature.
10. As the CTB temperature drops, the burner will start running. Continue observing the CTB operation through several burner ON/OFF cycles to ensure proper system performance.
11. Fine Tuning the Combustion Air Band: NOTE: The initial setting of the combustion air band may require additional adjustment.
Refer to Figure 6A to identify the combustion air band location on the burner.
Observe the flame. The flame should be yellow-white with sharp tips and no "sparkles."
If the flame is orange in color or the flame length is too long, the oil you are burning requires MORE combustion air. OPEN the air band 3 mm (1/8") to 6 mm (1/4"), and re-check the flame for the proper characteristics.
Re-check the flame after five minutes. You should see a yellow-white flame with sharp tips and no "sparkles", and the flame should extend half of the way down the combustion chamber.
12. Checking for a Smokeless Burn:
Check for a smokeless burn by observing the stack while the burner is running. If you see any smoke, repeat the previous steps for setting the combustion air band and adjusting the air regulator. After adjusting the combustion air band, re-check the flame length. NOTE: Check for a smokeless burn periodically (as you do the flame length). Immediately readjust the burner if you ever see smoke coming from the stack. Smoke indicates improper air/ fuel adjustment. NOTE: When using instruments to adjust the burner for a smokeless burn, the following readings should be achieved:
Draft over fire should be -0.02 to -0.04 inch w.c.
Adjust for a smoke spot of a trace to 2
For the CB-500-CTB adjust for a CO2 reading of 12.5 to 14% or an O2 reading of 2 to 4%
For the CB-350-CTB adjust for a CO2 reading of 12 to 13.5% or an O2 reading of 4 to 7%
For the CB-200-CTB adjust for a CO2 reading of 10.5 to 12.5% or an O2 reading of 3 to 5%
Cad cell reading of 200 to 500 ohms
o
C (180 - 200 oF) and repeat steps
NOTE: On the CB-200-CTB the flame can not be observed through the inspection door. The CB-200-CTB must be adjusted with instruments for proper combustion. Obtain the above settings by adjusting the air band 10 mm (3/8") to 13 mm (1/2"). The metering pump will deliver a constant oil flow and set the flame length.

SECTION 7: RESETTING THE OIL PRIMARY CONTROL
Understanding the Danfoss Oil Primary Control
The oil primary control will shut the oil pump and oil solenoid off when it detects flame-out during burner operation. The oil primary control will then wait approximately 15 seconds (while the burner motor, air solenoid, and transformer are energized) and attempt to re-ignite the burner (recycle mode). If the burner does not re-ignite, the control will shut the burner off on safety lock-out. The following procedure explains what should be done when this occurs. It is very important that you follow these instructions precisely when
resetting the safety on the primary control and restarting the burner.
Resetting the Danfoss Oil Primary Control
DANGER! DO NOT reset the oil primary control if oil mist is present in the combustion
chamber or when the combustion chamber is hot! DO NOT operate your CTB if excess oil, oil vapor or fumes have accumulated in or near your boiler. As with any oil burning appliance, improper operation may result in a fire or explosion hazard.
1. Refer to Figure 7A.
2. Allow 5 to 10 minutes for all fuel mist to exhaust from the combustion chamber.
3. If the combustion chamber is hot, allow the boiler to cool for at least 30 minutes. DO NOT
push the reset button.
4. When you are sure that all fuel mist has cleared and the boiler has cooled, push in and hold the
reset button for three seconds, then release. This will reset the control at any time during its operation.
5. If the burner will not restart, call your Clean Burn dealer immediately.

SECTION 8: ADJUSTING THE DRAFT OVER FIRE
Understanding the Importance of Draft
Draft in the Coil Tube Boiler is created as the hot combustion gases rise up the stack, creating a negative pressure inside the stack and the boiler. This negative pressure is measured as inches of water column (W.C.) of draft. A proper draft overfire of -.02 w.c. is essential so that all combustion products travel away from the burner, down the combustion chamber, through the boiler flues and up the stack.
Checking for Correct Draft Over Fire
NOTE: The CTB is equipped with an observation/draft reading port to check draft over fire. A qualified serviceman with proper equipment must adjust your CTB for proper draft. Contact your Clean Burn
dealer for this service.
1. Insert the probe of the draft gauge
instrument into the draft reading port in the
observation port as shown in Figure 8A.
2. Adjust the barometric damper to achieve
the required draft over fire of -0.02 w.c.
(water column).
3. Record the reading in the Maintenance
Record located in the Appendixes.
4. If correct draft over fire cannot be achieved,
contact your Clean Burn dealer
immediately.
ATTENTION: Only operate your CTB
with a draft over fire of -0.02 w.c. Poor
draft results in back pressure and poor
burner performance. DO NOT operate your
CTB with a draft over fire greater than
-0.04 w.c.; an abnormally high stack
temperature may result from a draft over fire
that is too high.
ATTENTION: Backdraft must be resolved or your boiler will not operate correctly!
Under backdraft conditions, draft overfire readings will show positive pressure in the combustion chamber. Backdraft means that oil spray, combustion products, and heat are blown back against the burner. Backdraft results in oil-fouled retention heads and electrodes. Severe backdraft will force heat back against the burner and result in heat damage to the cad cell and transformer.

Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB and CB-500-CTB (230 V / 50 Hz)
Checking for Correct Draft Over Fire (continued)
Backdraft is caused by the following conditions:
Poor draft caused by improper stack design. (See Section 4.)
Poor draft caused by improper adjustment of the barometric damper.
Incorrect combustion air band setting on the burner. (See Section 6.)
Boiler flues are plugged with ash. (See Section 9.)
Improper seal on clean-out door on back panel. (See Section 9.)
Exhaust fans in your building are sucking gases down the stack.
Understanding the Effect of Exhaust Fans on Draft
Any type of exhaust fan, paint booth, or exhaust system in a building will create negative pressure in the building unless there is a source of make-up air (i.e. fresh air which enters the building and replaces the air removed by the exhaust fans.)
If there is insufficient make-up air, the exhaust fan will suck air and combustion gases down the coil tube boiler stack and create backdraft in the boiler. After the burner is shut down, the backdraft may suck the residual heat out of the combustion chamber and into the burner causing damage to the burner. Even if the exhaust fan is on another level of the building or in another room away from the boiler, the exhaust fan will still create backdraft at the boiler.
Checking Draft Overfire to Determine Severity of Backdraft
The following procedure is an accurate method of determining how much backdraft is created by the exhaust fans. Once this is determined, you can select the correct method for resolving the backdraft.
1. Turn off ALL exhaust fans and close ALL doors and windows in the building (any open door or window will allow make-up air to enter the building and will negate the test).
2. Start the coil tube boiler and adjust the barometric damper so that the draft overfire is -.02 w.c.
3. Check the draft overfire again. Now have someone start the exhaust fans.
4. Note how much the draft overfire has changed. ATTENTION: If the draft overfire changed towards positive, it is mandatory that make-up air is provided to the building or severe damage to the boiler and burner will occur. If the draft overfire remained constant at -.02 w.c., there is sufficient make-up air entering the building, and the exhaust fan is not adversely affecting the draft.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the equipment room ever be under a negative pressure. Look for exhaust fans, compressors, air handling units, or anything else that may take air
away from the boiler. Also look for chemical fumes, solvents, refrigerants, etc. that may be in use around the boiler and cause damage to it.

Adjusting Draft Over Fire with A Draft Inducer Installed
NOTE: The draft inducer is purposely sized to create a generous draft. When adjusting the barometric damper, you will find that the flapper is open most of the time. This allows the draft inducer to suck cool air through the damper to protect the inducer motor from heat damage.
1. Use a draft gauge to check draft over fire.
2. Adjust the barometric damper to obtain -0.02 w.c. draft over fire. If you still have too much draft,
adjust the draft plate on the draft inducer. Move the plate in 1/4" to reduce the draft. Recheck the draft reading.

SECTION 9: MAINTENANCE
Understanding Maintenance
Maintaining your Clean Burn CTB is an important activity which includes several periodic maintenance activities and an annual burner tune-up...all are necessary to keep your boiler running in peak condition.
WARNING: Failure to maintain and/or improper servicing by unqualified personnel may adversely affect the proper, safe operation of your coil tube boiler, may reduce the service
life of your boiler, and may void your warranty.
The following chart summarizes all the maintenance activities which should be performed on the CTB at the intervals indicated. Instructions/procedures for these activities are included in this chapter.
Maintenance Activity Interval
Cleaning the canister filter Before vacuum gauge reads 10" HG of vacuum Servicing the metering pump At least once a year Cleaning the check valve/screen At least once a year Cleaning water/sludge out of oil tank At least once a year Cleaning out ash (CB-200-CTB)* Approx. every 750 hrs. per burner hour meter Cleaning out ash (CB-350-CTB)* Approx. every 1000 hrs. per burner hour meter Cleaning out ash (CB-500-CTB)* Approx. every 1000 hrs. per burner hour meter Checking boiler water condition Periodically by qualified water treatment company Annual burner tune-up At least once a year
*It is very important to clean the ash from the CTB on schedule. Normal use of the boiler requires clean-out at least twice during the heating season. Heavy, around-the-clock usage requires more frequent clean-out (e.g. one month of continual running of the boiler is 720 hours).
NOTE: IMPORTANT! Record all maintenance activities in the Maintenance Record provided in the Appendixes.
Annual Preventative Maintenance and Burner Tune-up
The Clean Burn CTB requires annual preventative maintenance. The burner also requires an annual tune-up to keep it running in peak condition. The burner tune-up should be performed by a qualified Clean Burn service technician who has the necessary parts and expertise.
Contact your local Clean Burn dealer to schedule the annual maintenance for your boiler. Various levels of service are provided to fit your particular need. This work is usually performed during the warm-weather months to prepare the boiler for the next heating season.

Cleaning the Canister Filter
ATTENTION: Never operate the oil pump with more than 10" HG of vacuum on the vacuum gauge. High vacuum on the suction side of the pump separates air from the oil (cavitation) and will cause the burner to shut down.
The following protective gear should be worn when cleaning the filter:
Rubber gloves Safety goggles
1. Close the ball valve adjacent to the filter.
2. Position a container under the filter.
3. Unscrew the four bolts, remove the canister bowl, and filter element. Now pour the oil into the container.
4. Clean the filter element and the bowl in a parts washer.
5. Referring to Figure 9A, check the condition of the O-rings. Replace any that are cracked or worn.
6. Ensure that the canister filter is 100% airtight by firmly tightening the four bolts.
7. Open the ball valve. Refer to Sections 5 and 6 for instructions on priming the pump and starting the burner.

Cleaning the Ash from the Coil Tube Boiler
ATTENTION: Your CTB may require frequent clean out of the ash due to contaminants in the oil or heavy use. As ash accumulates, CTB heat output declines, and the stack temperature rises. 3 mm (1/8") of ash has the insulating capacity of 2.5 cm (1") of fiberglass insulation and reduces heat transfer significantly. Never allow more than 6 mm (1/4") of ash to accumulate in the combustion chamber heat exchanger flues or stack.
The following protective gear should be worn when cleaning the ash:
Respirator for fine particles Rubber gloves
Safety goggles Protective clothing
1. Ensure that power has been turned OFF, and all "hot" components have been allowed to cool
sufficiently. Shop air should be turned OFF and disconnected. Allow at least one hour for the ceramics to cool.
2. Clean the ash from the combustion chamber (see Figure 9D):
a. If the air and oil lines must be disconnected to open the clean out door:
1. Bleed-down pressure on the air and oil lines by slightly loosening the fittings at the bottom of the connector block.
2. With air and oil pressure completely bled off, disconnect the air and oil pressure lines from the bottom of the connector block. NOTE: Cover these lines to keep dirt from entering the air/oil supply.
b. Remove the lock nuts on the clean-out door. c. Carefully swing open the clean-out door to expose the coiled heat exchanger, flue passages,
and the combustion chamber.
d. Remove the two ceramic sleeve half-pieces from the combustion chamber, and remove the
supporting ceramic stand pieces.
e. Use a wire or bristle brush to thoroughly clean out the ash from the combustion chamber and
flue passages.
f. While cleaning out the combustion chamber, also check the burner retention head and throat.
Carefully clean these elements.
I88123-A
Figure 9D - Accessing the Combustion Chamber for Cleaning
ATTENTION: When cleaning the combustion chamber, ensure that you do not gouge or damage the refractory material on the inside of the clean-out door and target wall. DO NOT bump or bend burner components while cleaning the combustion chamber.

Cleaning the Ash (continued)
(2.) h. Thoroughly vacuum any remaining ash residue from the flue passages. A long wand on the
hose of your shop vac is helpful in reaching all the way back.
i. Inspect the combustion chamber and its components to ensure that it is in good condition.
Inspect the inside of the clean-out door and target wall. Make sure the refractory material on the inside of the door is in good condition, and the door seals tightly when closed. If the door does not seal tightly, replace any damaged components.
3. Clean the ash from the stack components: a. Brush accumulated ash from the stack cap. b. Lightly tap the stack components to loosen the ash. c. Allow ash and dust to settle in the clean-out tee or elbow, then vacuum out. d. Disconnect the stack from the CTB breach. e. Thoroughly vacuum out the back of the boiler, including the boiler breach (through the
breach). If desired, the back panel can be removed for cleaning.
ATTENTION: When handling the front door and rear panel, be careful that you do not damage the insulation seal surfaces. Two technicians may be required to remove and install the rear panel safely. The panel weighs approximately 39 Kg (85 lbs).
4. Reassemble the boiler components (ceramic stand, ceramic sleeve, back panel, etc.) If necessary, refer to Section 3 for additional Assembly information.
5. Close the clean-out door, install and tighten the washer and nuts. Make sure that the clean-out door and rear panel close and seal properly. Reconnect all disconnected lines (oil and air) on the bottom of the connector block. NOTE: You may need to bleed air from the oil line before starting the burner. See Section 5 for pertinent instructions.
Cleaning the Oil Tank
DO NOT allow water, sludge, or other debris to accumulate in your oil supply tank to the point that non-combustible or harmful materials are drawn into the pump or burner.
Drain water and sludge from the bottom of your tank at least once a year, and more frequently with water accumulation.
End of Season Maintenance
Turn main power to your coil tube boiler OFF at the end of the heating season. Environmental regulations allow your used oil to be burned only for "heat recovery." DO NOT operate your boiler during warm weather just to burn oil. Contact your local Clean Burn dealer to schedule your annual burner tune-up. Allow only
trained, authorized service personnel to service your burner.
In the "off" season after the boiler has been cleaned, spray the combustion chamber with a light coat of oil to reduce corrosion caused by moisture in the air.
NOTE: If the CTB is not used during the cold-weather months, it must be protected to prevent damage from freezing temperatures.

SECTION 10: THE CTB HYDRONIC SYSTEM
Understanding the CTB Hydronic System
The Clean Burn Coil Tube Boiler (CTB) is designed to function as a low-mass boiler (i.e. it will not maintain boiler water temperature when there is no call for heat). Low-mass boilers require that a sufficient, constant flow of water be maintained through the coil in order to: (a) remove the heat from the boiler when the burner is firing AND (b) prevent the flow switch from shutting off the burner.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When designing the system layout and application for your CTB, keep in mind that it is NOT suitable for open systems. The Clean Burn CTB has been designed to operate as a closed loop boiler system. Potable water heating (i.e. for domestic or washing purposes) can be accomplished by incorpo­rating a heat exchanger into the system.
Special Safety Guidelines for the Design and Installation of Hydronic Systems
Adhere to the following Safety Guidelines when designing and setting up the CTB hydronics system:
The CTB must be installed on non-combustible flooring.
The CTB must be installed in accordance with national, state, and local plumbing, heating, and electrical codes and the regulations of the serving utilities which may differ from this manual. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installations are made. In all cases, reference should be made to all aplicable standards.
The heating system must be designed by a competent hydronics contractor, and only persons knowledgeable in the layout and installation of hydronic heating systems should install this boiler.
The boiler must be connected to an approved chimney in good condition. Serious property damage could result if the boiler is connected to a dirty or inadequate chimney. The interior of the chimney flue must be inspected periodically through the heating season for any obstructions. A clean and unobstructed chimney flue is necessary to allow noxious fumes that could cause serious injury to vent safely and will contribute toward maintaining the boiler's efficiency.
It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see that all controls are correctly installed and are operating properly when the installation is completed.
To ensure optimum performance, qualified personnel must perform proper and timely maintenance on the CTB according to the procedures provided in Section 9 of this manual.

CTB System Function and Configuration
Water Flow and Temperature
The Clean Burn Coil Tube Boiler design requires continuous water flow through the boiler heat exchanger to ensure proper system operation. The boiler circulator must be capable of developing sufficient (head) pressure to overcome the resistance of the boiler plus the circulating system at the required flow rate. If the water flow through the boiler is too low, the flow switch will not allow the burner to operate. (Refer to Appendix A, as needed, for CTB system specifications.)
Heating systems using zone valves, zone pumps, or three-way valves may experience reduced water flow through the boiler. This condition can cause excessive water temperature rise and unstable boiler operation. The normal temperature rise across the boiler is 11 oC(20 oF). Minimum operating temperature for the CTB is 71 oC (160 oF). To avoid condensation, the return water temperature should not fall below 60 oC (140 oF).
System Pressure
The Clean Burn CTB is designed to operate in closed, pressurized hydronic systems. Certain levels of pressure are required for proper system operation--a minimum of 0.8 bar (12 PSI) should be maintained on the system where the boiler supply water temperature is 93 oC (200 oF) or less. If a higher working pressure is required, contact the Clean Burn Service Department for proper pressure requirements.
Sample System Configuration: Primary/Secondary Pumping System
A sample hydronic system setup using Clean Burn Coil Tube Boilers is shown in Figure 10A. This system, a Primary/Secondary Pumping System, allows for many special hydronic requirements (e.g. water return temperatures below the normal 60 oC (140 oF), variable flow zones, multiple zones, multi-tempera­ture systems, and/or multiple boilers) and provides maximum flexibility while maintaining optimal system func­tioning. A critical advantage of this type of system is that it dramatically
reduces the danger of thermal shock to the boiler.
In a Primary/Secondary Pumping System (as shown in Figure 10A), the primary loop circulator runs when any of the zones call for heat. In some system setups, the circulator may run continuously during the heating season. The circulator pushes hot water past the zone tees; any of the secondary zone pumps can draw hot water out of the first tee (as though the tee were a boiler). Each zone then returns cooler water through the second tee where it mixes with the hot water being pushed through by the primary loop circulator. The close positioning of the two zone tees is crucial to the operation of the system; the tees must be at least 15 cm (6") but not more than 31 cm (12") apart. This allows for circulators of different flow rates to be used in the same system while maintaining proper flow and functioning.

CTB Setup Options
When designing and setting up the CTB Hydronic System, please be aware of the following options and special setup requirements:
(1) The boiler circulator (which you may have ordered from Clean Burn for your CTB system) is sized to ensure a flow of water through the coil tube ONLY; it is NOT sized to be used as a system
circulator. An additional circulator must be installed to flow water through the system and to the boiler.
(2) In low load conditions, Clean Burn recommends the installation of a larger storage tank next to the CTB to extend the run time and to reduce the occurrence of short cycling. Position the tank close to the boiler to reduce the required connective piping as shown in sample configuration, Figure 10B.
(3) If hot water is required in the system installation for washing or other related activities, Clean Burn offers Ergomax Heat Exchangers/Storage Tanks in 182, 273, and 450 liter sizes (48, 72, and 119 gallon sizes). Contact your local Clean Burn representative for additional details on these CTB system com­ponents. Refer to Figure 10C for a sample system configuration using an Ergomax Heat Exchanger. This configuration is ideal for installations requiring pressure washing, car/truck washing, etc. The Ergomax unit works well with a CTB because it stores boiler water in the tank and acts as a buffer (tempering) tank while enabling reduction of short cycling.

Guidelines for CTB Setup and Operation
1. Refer to the appropriate illustration in this section for your CTB system configuration, as well as Figures 4A/4B in the Installation chapter.
2. Connect the supply and return piping to the heating system. (Additional information in Section 4). CAUTION: Hot water pipes shall have clearances of at least 13 mm (1/2") from all combustible surfaces. For additional technical reference material, see I=B=R Installation and Piping Guide No. 200.
3. The relief valve must be installed with the spindle in the vertical position. The relief valve discharge pipe must be extended to within four inches of the floor or to a drain.
4. To reduce the amount of cold water returned to the boiler (and to protect the boiler from thermal shock), a return blend loop should be utilized.
5. Fill the entire heating system with water and vent air from the system according to the following instructions: (a) Close the isolation valve in the boiler supply piping. (b) Isolate all circuits by closing the zone valves or balancing valves. (c) Attach a hose to the purge valve located just below the isolation valve in the boiler supply
piping. NOTE: Ensure that the end of the hose drains into a bucket located in a drain area or
outside. (d) Starting with one circuit, open the first zone valve ONLY. (e) Open the purge valve. (f) Open the fill valve (the make-up water line should be located on the system side of the
isolation valve in the boiler supply piping.) (g) Allow water to overflow from the bucket until discharge from the hose is bubble-free.
ATTENTION: Air in the hose may cause the hose to "jump" and water to spray out;
ensure that the area (and equipment nearby) is protected from any possible water damage. (h) Open the zone valve to the second zone to be purged, then close the first. Repeat this step
until all zones have been purged, but always have one zone open. At completion, open all
zone valves. (i) Close the purge valve, continue filling the system until the pressure gauge reads 0.8 bar (12 psi).
Close the fill valve.
NOTE: If the make-up water line is equipped with a pressure reducing valve, the system
will automatically fill to 0.8 bar (12 psi). (j) Open the isolation valve in the boiler supply piping. (k) Remove the hose from the purge valve. ( l) As soon as the boiler is filled, heat the water in the boiler to 82
water.

Guidelines for Preventing Oxygen Contamination
ATTENTION: Oxygen contamination of boiler water will cause corrosion of iron and steel boiler components, and can lead to boiler failure (and void warranty). Causes of oxygen contamination include:
Addition of excessive make-up water as a result of system leaks
Absorption through open tanks and fittings
Oxygen permeable material in the distribution system
To ensure optimal CTB maintenance and operation, follow these recommendations to eliminate damaging oxygen contamination:
Repair system leaks to eliminate the need for the addition of make-up water
Eliminate open tanks from the system
Eliminate and/or repair leaky fittings
Use non-permeable materials in the distribution system
Isolate the boiler from the water heater system (i.e. wash and potable waters) by installing a heat exchanger.
Guidelines for Initial Cleaning of the Hydronics System and Maintaining Water Quality
Clean the boiler with an alkaline cleaner (e.g. soda ash or detergent) as recommended by a qualified water treatment company. NOTE: This is necessary to remove oil or other coatings from the tube surfaces. These protective coatings are commonly applied to new tubes to prevent rusting during storage/ transit and will cause corrosion if left on the tubes during operation of the boiler.
After cleaning the boiler, drain the system in a manner and to a location that hot water can be discharged safely.
Remove plugs from all available locations, and wash the water side of the boiler as thoroughly as possible using a high-pressure water stream.
Refill the system with fresh water.
Test the pH of the water in the system. The pH should be higher than 8.5 but lower than 9.5. Add appropriate boiler water treatment compounds as recommended by your qualified water treatment company (if necessary) to bring the pH within the specified range.
Heat the water in the boiler to 82 oC (180 oF) to de-aerate the water.
Guidelines for CTB Operation
After proper and safe CTB boiler setup and installation has been accomplished, CTB operation proceeds as follows:
(a) Refer to Section 6 for instructions on starting the CTB. (b) Following burner startup, set the operating control dial at 82 - 93 oC (180 - 200 oF).
ATTENTION: If, during normal operation, it is necessary to add water to your system more than once a year, consult a qualified service technician to check your system for leaks. A leaky system will increase the volume of make-up water supplied to the boiler which can significantly shorten the life of the boiler and cause damage to the boiler.

SECTION 1 1: TROUBLESHOOTING
The following charts and tables are provided for reference in troubleshooting any difficulties encountered in boiler operation and adjustment.
The Flow Chart outlines the proper sequence of events in boiler operation -- use this
chart to help diagnose where a problem may be occurring.
More specific troubleshooting information is provided in the Troubleshooting Tables following the flow chart. Each table lists a Problem, Possible Cause, and Possible
Action(s) to fix the problem.
The CTB sequence of operation is summarized as follows:
(1) A call for heat by the thermostat energizes the DPDT relay which in turn energizes the
circulator delay relay and the boiler loop circulator to establish a flow of water through the coil.
(2) The flow switch closes. The power then continues from the flow switch through the high limit
aquastat, through the operating aquastat, and then to the burner.
(3) If the burner ignites within approximately 15 seconds and the photo unit sees a flame, the burner
will continue to operate until the call for heat is satisfied or the setting of the operating aquastat is reached.
(4) If the thermostat is not satisfied, but the temperature setting of the operating aquastat is
reached, the burner will stop until the return water drops the water temperature in the boiler (re-closing the operating aquastat and turning the burner back on).
(5) The boiler loop circulator will operate as long as the thermostat is calling for heat. (6) The boiler loop circulator circuit includes a delay relay that keeps the circulator operating
approximately ten minutes after the call for heat is satisfied.
