WARNING

DANGER

DO NOT OPERATE, SERVICE, OR REPAIR THIS EQUIPMENT UNLESS YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND ALL APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THIS MANUAL.

DO NOT ALLOW OTHERS TO OPERATE, SERVICE, OR REPAIR THIS EQUIPMENT UNLESS THEY FULLY UNDERSTAND ALL APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THIS MANUAL.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL APPLICABLE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

TO: Owners, Operators and/or Maintenance Personnel

This operating manual presents information that will help to properly operate and care for the equipment. Study its contents carefully. The unit will provide good service and continued operation if proper operating and maintenance instructions are followed. No attempt should be made to operate the unit until the principles of operation and all of the components are thoroughly understood. Failure to follow all applicable instructions and warnings may result in severe personal injury or death.

It is the responsibility of the owner to train and advise not only his or her personnel, but the contractors' personnel who are servicing, repairing or operating the equipment, in all safety aspects.

Cleaver-Brooks equipment is designed and engineered to give long life and excellent service on the job. The electrical and mechanical devices supplied as part of the unit were chosen because of their known ability to perform; however, proper operating techniques and maintenance procedures must be followed at all times. Although these components afford a high degree of protection and safety, operation of equipment is not to be considered free from all dangers and hazards inherent in handling and firing of fuel.

Any "automatic" features included in the design do not relieve the attendant of any responsibility. Such features merely free him of certain repetitive chores and give him more time to devote to the proper upkeep of equipment.

It is solely the operator’s responsibility to properly operate and maintain the equipment. No amount of written instructions can replace intelligent thinking and reasoning and this manual is not intended to relieve the operating personnel of the responsibility for proper operation. On the other hand, a thorough understanding of this manual is required before attempting to operate, maintain, service, or repair this equipment.

Because of state, local, or other applicable codes, there are a variety of electric controls and safety devices which vary considerably from one boiler to another. This manual contains information designed to show how a basic burner operates.

Operating controls will normally function for long periods of time and we have found that some operators become lax in their daily or monthly testing, assuming that normal operation will continue indefinitely. Malfunctions of controls lead to uneconomical operation and damage and, in most cases, these conditions can be traced directly to carelessness and deficiencies in testing and maintenance.

It is recommended that a boiler room log or record be maintained. Recording of daily, weekly, monthly and yearly maintenance activities and recording of any unusual operation will serve as a valuable guide to any necessary investigation.

Most instances of major boiler damage are the result of operation with low water. We cannot emphasize too strongly the need for the operator to periodically check his low water controls and to follow good maintenance and testing practices. Cross-connecting piping to low water devices must be internally inspected periodically to guard against any stoppages which could obstruct the free flow of water to the low water devices. Float bowls of these controls must be inspected frequently to check for the presence of foreign substances that would impede float ball movement.

The waterside condition of the pressure vessel is of extreme importance. Waterside surfaces should be inspected frequently to check for the presence of any mud, sludge, scale or corrosion.

The services of a qualified water treating company or a water consultant to recommend the proper boiler water treating practices are essential.

The operation of this equipment by the owner and his or her operating personnel must comply with all requirements or regulations of his insurance company and/or other authority having jurisdiction. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between such requirements and the warnings or instructions contained herein, please contact Cleaver-Brooks before proceeding.

Chapter 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

B. The Boiler

The Cleaver-Brooks Model FLX is a five-pass steel boiler with flexible watertubes formed and arranged so as to direct the flow of combustion gases through the boiler. The pressure vessel conforms to Section I or IV of the ASME code. The pressure vessel consists of the formed tubes, the external downcomer, and the top and bottom drums to which they connect. The heated area of the pressure vessel is contained within a gas tight insulated casing that is composed of removable formed steel panels.

Always order genuine Cleaver-Brooks parts from your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative.

The boiler and related equipment installation are to be in compliance with the standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters. Installation should also conform to state and local codes governing such equipment. Prior to installation, the proper authorities having jurisdiction are to be consulted, permits obtained, etc. All boilers in the above series comply, when equipped with optional equipment, to Industrial Risk Insurers (IRI), Factory Mutual (FM), or other insuring underwriters requirements.

The Model FLX boiler is a packaged watertube boiler of welded steel construction and consists of a pressure vessel, burner, burner controls, forced draft fan, damper, refractory, and appropriate boiler trim.

The type of service that your boiler is required to provide has an important bearing on the amount of waterside care it will require.

CAUTION

DANGER

Waterside care is of prime importance. For specific information or assistance with your water treatment requirements, contact your Cleaver-Brooks service and parts represen tative. Failure to follow these instructions could result in equipment damage

Feedwater equipment should be checked and ready for use. Be sure that all valves, piping, boiler feed pumps, and receivers are installed in accordance with prevailing codes and practices.

Water requirements for both steam and hot water boilers are essential to boiler life and length of service. Constant attention to water requirements will pay dividends in the form of longer life, less down-time, and prevention of costly repairs. Care taken in placing the pressure vessel into initial service is vital. The waterside of new boilers and new or remodeled steam or hot water systems may contain oil, grease or other foreign matter. A method of boiling out the vessel to remove accumulations is described in Chapter 3.

The operator should be familiar with Chapter 3 before attempting to place the unit into operation.

Hot water is commonly used in heating applications with the boiler supplying water to the system at 180 °F to 220 °F. The operating pressure for hot water heating systems usually is 30 psig to 125 psig.

Steam boilers are designed for low and high pressure applications. Low pressure boilers are limited to 15 psig design pressure, and are typically used for heating applications. High pressure boilers are limited to 150 psig design pressure, and are typically used for process steam applications.

Steam and hot water boilers are defined according to design pressure and operating pressure. Design pressure is the max imum pressure used in the design of the boiler for the purpose of calculating the minimum permissible thickness or physical characteristics of the pressure vessel parts of the boiler. Typically, the safety valves are set at or below design pressure. Operating pressure is the pressure of the boiler at which it normally operates. The operating pressure usually is maintained at a suitable level below the setting of the pres sure relieving valve(s) to prevent their frequent opening during normal operation.

C. Construction

Steam boilers designed for 15 psig and hot water boilers designed for 250°F at 160 psi or less are constructed in accordance with Section IV, Heating Boilers, of ASME Code. Steam boilers designed for 150 psig are constructed in accordance with Section I, Power Boilers, of the ASME Code.

D. Steam Controls (All Fuels)

1. Operating Limit Pressure Control (Figures 1-2 and 1-3): Breaks a circuit to stop burner operation on a rise of boiler pressure at a selected setting. It is adjusted to stop or start the burner at a preselected pressure setting.

2. High Limit Pressure Control (Figure 1-2 and 1-3): Breaks a circuit to stop burner operation on a rise of pressure above a selected setting. It is adjusted to stop the burner at a preselected pressure above the operating limit control setting. The high limit pressure control is equipped with a manual reset.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION Chapter 1

3. Modulating Limit Pressure Control (Figure 1-2 and 1-3): Senses changing boiler pressures and transmits the information to the modulating motor to change the burner firing rate when the manual-automatic switch is set on “automatic.”

4. Low Water Cutoff and Pump Control (Figure 1-2, 1-4 and 1-5): Float-operated control responds to the water level in the boiler. It performs two distinct functions:

•Stops firing of the burner if water level lowers below the safe operating point. Energizes the low-water light in the control panel; also causes low-water alarm bell (optional equipment) to ring. Code requirements of some models require a manual reset type of low-water cutoff.

•Starts and stops the feedwater pump (if used) to maintain water at the proper operating level.

CAUTION

DANGER

Determine that the main and auxiliary low water cutoffs and pump control are level af

ter installation and throughout the equipment’s operating life. Failure to follow these instructions could result in equipment dam

age.

5. Water Column Assembly (Figure 1-2): Houses the lowwater cutoff and pump control and includes the water gauge glass, gauge glass shutoff cocks.

6. Water Column Drain Valve (Figure 1-2): Provided so that the water column and its piping can be flushed regularly to assist in maintaining cross-connecting piping and in keeping the float bowl clean and free of sediment. A similar drain valve is furnished with auxiliary low-water cutoff for the same purpose.

7. Gauge Glass Drain Valve (Figure 1-2): Provided to flush the gauge glass.

8. Safety Valve(s) (Figure 1-6 and 1-8): Prevent buildup over the design pressure of the pressure vessel. The size, rating and number of valves on a boiler is determined by the ASME Boiler Code. The safety valves and the discharge piping are to be installed to conform to the ASME code requirements. The installation of a valve is of primary importance to its service life. A valve must be mounted in a vertical position so that discharge piping and code-required drains can be properly piped to prevent buildup of back pressure and accumulation of foreign material around the valve seat area. Apply only a moderate amount of pipe compound to male threads and

the boiler operating controls indicate a demand for hot water or steam.

• Burner Switch: Activates or deactivates the operating cycle of the flame safeguard control.

• Manual Flame Control: When in Manual Mode, it provides manual adjustment of the burner fir

ing rate between low-fire and high-fire operation.

• Manual-Auto Switch: Allows the operator to override the automatic boiler controls for manual firing rate adjustment.

• Fuel Valve Light: Illuminates (green) when the selected fuel valve is energized.

A. FLAME SAFEGUARD B. FUEL SELECTION SWITCH

• Low Water Light: Illuminates (red) when the boiler low-water cutoff control is activated.

2. Flame Safeguard (Figure 2-2): The flame safeguard controls the operating sequences of the combustion system (prepurge, pilot, firing, and shutdown). The control also monitors the flame, using a scanner which is sensitive to specific flame frequencies. The flame safeguard also automatically shuts down the burner when the flame signal becomes too weak. Different types of flame safeguard devices can be installed in the combustion systems. Check the wiring diagram for your burner for information on the specific unit installed on your burner.

3. Fuel Selection Switch (Figure 2-2): Allows the operator to select either gas or oil as the active fuel on combination burners. (The switch is located inside the control cabinet.)

4. Pilot Gas Train (Figure 2-3). The standard pilot gas train consists of a manual stopcock, a gas pressure regulator, and a solenoid-operated gas shut-off valve. The gas pilot valve assembly controls a relatively small flow rate of natural gas to operate the gas-electric pilot.

5. Blast Tube (Figure 2-3). The blast tube functions as a duct for combustion air, and houses the fuel nozzle(s), gas pilot assembly, diffuser, and air baffle assemblies.

providing air flow. The fuel supply valves will not open if this switch does not sense adequate air pressure.

10. Impeller (Figure 2-4). The impeller is designed with backwards-inclined vanes. It is located inside the blower housing, and is driven by the combustion air fan motor. The impeller provides combustion air to the burner assembly. Removing the impeller requires the use of the impeller puller, part number 943-388 (Figure 2-8)

11. Gas Butterfly Valve (Figure 2-5). The gas butterfly valve regulates the flow rate of natural gas into the burner. The gas butterfly valve is connected, by linkage and a jack shaft, to the modulating motor, which provides the rotary motion to open and close the valve.

12. Valve Linkage (Figure 2-5). The valve linkage transfers the modulating motion from the main air shutter shaft to the fuel metering valve shafts. The linkage provides a means of adjustment to maintain the correct fuel-to-air ratio over the entire burner operating range, high fire to low fire.

13. Oil Metering Valve (Figure 2-5). The oil metering valve regulates the flow rate of oil into the burner. The oil metering valve is connected by linkage and a jack shaft to the modulating motor, which provides the rotary motion to open and close the valve.

14. Oil Pump (Figure 2-5). The oil pump provided for oil burning is coupled to an extension of the combustion air fan shaft.

15. Modulating Motor (Figure 2-5). The modulating motor is coupled to the jack shaft that operates the main air shutter and the fuel valve linkages. The modulating motor produces the torque and rotary positioning required for firing rate control.

20. Airbox (Figure 2-6). The airbox is attached to the inlet side of the fan housing. It serves as the inlet and flow regulating valve for combustion air, and houses the combustion air control shutters.

21. Main Air Shutter Shaft (Figure 2-6). The main air shutter modulates the combustion air between low fire and high fire conditions. The shaft connects the modulating motor to the main air shutter and to the fuel valve linkage assemblies.

A. GENERAL

This chapter is devoted primarily to the waterside care of the pressure vessel.

Proper water supply and treatment are essential to boiler life and length of service. Proper water treatment will pay dividends in the form of longer life, less downtime, and prevention of costly repairs.

Hot water boilers require proper circulation. The system must be operated as intended by its designer in order to avoid the possibility of thermal shock with severe stress to the pressure vessel.

Although it is of prime importance, the subject of water supply and treatment cannot adequately be covered in this manual. For specific information or assistance with your water treatment requirements, contact your local CleaverBrooks authorized representative.

B. WATER REQUIREMENTS

(HOT WATER BOILERS)

Air Removal

The hot water outlet (Figure 3-1) is located in the top drum of the boiler. This location reduces the possibility of released air (which is trapped at the top of the drum) from entering the system. Any air (or oxygen) that may be released in the boiler will collect at the top of the upper drum, where it will escape through the air vent tapping (Figure 3-1). The tapping must be properly piped to the expansion tank or a stand pipe and air bleeder to remove gases that collect at the top of the drum.

Figure 3-1: Upper Drum (Hot Water)

Continuous Flow

The system must be piped and the controls arranged so that there will be water circulation through the boiler under all operating conditions. Constant circulation through the boiler eliminates the possibility of stratification within the unit.

Refer to Fig. 3-1 to determine the maximum GPM circulation rate of boiler water in relation to full boiler output and system temperature drop.

System Pressure

CAUTION

DANGER

In order to avoid damage to the equipment, a circulating pump should be interlocked with the burner so that the burner cannot operate unless the circulating pump is run ning.

It is recommended that the system circulating pumps be kept running, even though the heat users do not require hot water. The relief device or bypass valve will allow continuous circulation through the boiler and will help prevent rapid replacement of boiler water with “cold” zone water.

CAUTION

DANGER

The operator should determine that a circulation of water exists through the boiler before initial firing or when firing after the unit has been drained and refilled. A reduced cir culation of water or no water circulation through the boiler when the burner is oper ating may result in damage to the equipment.

The design of the system and the usage requirements often will dictate the pressure exerted upon the boiler. Some systems are pressurized with nitrogen. Caution must be

exercised to make sure that the proper relationship of pressure to temperature exists within the boiler so that all of its internal surfaces are fully wetted at all times. It is for this reason that the internal boiler pressure, as indicated on the water pressure gauge, must be held to the level shown in Figure 3-3.

It is advisable to install a thermometer in the return line to indicate return water temperature. With the return water temperature and the supply water temperature to the system known, the temperature differential will be established. Knowing the flow rate, the operator easily can detect any excessive load condition and take appropriate corrective action.

Pressure Drop

There will be a pressure drop of less than 4 psi through all standardly equipped Cleaver-Brooks boilers operating in any system that has more than the 20°F temperature drop. This drop will vary with boiler size and circulation rate. For specific information, refer to table 3-1, Minimum Flow Rates for Hot Water Boilers.

Minimum Boiler Outlet Water Temperature

The minimum recommended operating boiler outlet water temperature is 150°F. When water temperatures lower than 150°F are used, the combustion gases are reduced in temperature to a point where the water vapor in the gases condenses. A result of condensation is that fireside corrosion occurs in the boiler and breeching. The condensation problem is more severe on a unit that operates intermittently or is oversized for the actual load. This is not a matter that can be controlled by boiler design, since an efficient boiler extracts all the possible heat from the combustion gases.

Multiple Boiler Installations

When multiple boilers of equal or unequal size are installed, care must be taken to ensure proportional flow through the boilers. Proportional flow can best be accomplished by use of balancing cocks and gauges in the supply line from each boiler. If balancing cocks or orifice plates are used, a significant pressure drop (for example, 3-5 psi) must be taken across the balancing device to accomplish proportional flow.

Variations in water temperature and firing rates will result if care is not taken to ensure proportional flow through the boilers. In extreme cases, differences in firing rates could result in a net header water temperature below the desired temperature.

C. WATER REQUIREMENTS

(STEAM BOILERS)

Deaeration

The most important factor in the life of a steam pressure vessel is the proper conditioning of the boiler feed water. Corrosive gasses, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, must be removed from the feed water in order to prevent degradation of the pressure vessel. For this reason CleaverBrooks recommends the use of a deaeration system as an integral part of a complete boiler installation. If circumstances do not allow the implementation of a deaeration system, then serious consideration should be given to effective alternatives such as a feed water preheater combined with a chemical oxygen scavenger. Complete boiler water chemistry parameters are given in Table 3-3.

Note: In order to maintain a minimum outlet water temperature of 150°F the low limit of the Operating Temperature Control should be set at least 10° higher.

If the operating water temperature going to the system must be lower than 150°F, the operating boiler outlet water temperature should still be held to a minimum of 150°F. Mixing valves are used to reduce the supply temperature going to the system.

Note: The minimum return water temperature through the boiler is 120°F.

CAUTION

DANGER

Three-way valves and system controls should be installed or set so that the boiler cannot be bypassed. A reduced circulation of water or no water circulation through the boiler when the burner is operating may re sult in damage to the equipment.

750-177 3-3

Feed Water Supply

The internal dynamics of the Model FLX steam boilers require the capability to deliver large quantities of feed water to the boiler on demand. (Feed water inlet Figure 3-3.) Sudden changes in firing rate or operating pressure of the

recommended that a properly sized water meter be installed in the raw water makeup line to accurately determine the amount of raw water admitted to the boiler.

In addition, feed water must be warmed to a minimum of 60°F. in order to ensure reliable operation of the boiler. The feed water supply should be adjusted to deliver water to the boiler at or above these minimum rates.

A steam boiler requires periodic blowdown of the boiler and water column (Figure 3-4). Blowdown is the removal of some of the concentrated water from the boiler and the water level

E. BLOWDOWN

D. WATER TREATMENT

Properly treated boiler water will result in maximum effectiveness and long trouble-free life of the pressure vessel. Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks Representative or water management consultant for complete information on how to prevent damage resulting from inadequate water treatment.

The objectives of water treatment in general are to:

1. Prevent hard scale and soft sludge deposits that inhibit heat transfer and that could lead to overheated metal and costly downtime and repairs.

2. Eliminate corrosive gases in the supply or boiler water.

To accomplish these objectives, the boiler requires proper water treatment before and after introduction of water into the unit. The selection of pretreatment processes depends upon the water source, its chemical characteristics, the amount of makeup water needed, system operation practices, etc.

control system, in order to lower the concentration of solids in the water.

Solids are introduced to the boiler with the feedwater, even though this water may be treated prior to use. These solids become less soluble when the water is heated and evaporated, and tend to accumulate on heating surfaces.

Periodic blowdown and chemical treatment are necessary to prevent concentration of solids in the boiler water, and attachment of these solids to waterside heating surfaces (scaling).

Scale has a low heat transfer value and acts as an insulating barrier on heating surfaces. A buildup of scale will result in lower operating efficiency and, consequently, higher fuel consumption. More importantly, scale buildup can result in overheating of boiler metal. This can result in tube failures or other pressure vessel damage.

CAUTION

DANGER

Boiler and water level control blowdown must be performed on a regular basis to en sure that concentrated solids are removed from the boiler and in order to avoid damage to the equipment.

Water column and gauge glass blowdown valves are located on the water column assembly. The boiler blowdown tapping(s) can be found at the bottom of the lower drum.

Most blowdown lines are provided with two valves. These are generally a quick-opening valve nearest the boiler and a slow-opening globe-type valve downstream. Valves will vary depending upon pressure involved and the make or manufacturer.

When initially opening the blowdown valve, open the valve slowly to heat the discharge piping. Failure to follow this procedure could result in rapid expansion and damage to the piping.

The drop of the water level in the gauge glass can be used in determining the length of time that the blowdown valve is left open. This is to be used as a reference only, as proper water analysis on a regular basis will serve as an indicator of the effectiveness of the blowdown procedures used.

Do not pump the lever action valve open and closed when draining water during blowdown. The hydraulic forces resulting from this pumping action could break the valve bodies or pipe fittings in the blow down lines.

Blowdown valves should be closed in a specific order after draining water for blowdown. Close the downstream (slow opening) valve first, followed by the quick-opening valve next to the boiler. Open the downstream valve slightly to release the water trapped between the valves, then close the valve again.

The water column and gauge glass should be blown down by draining until the water in the gauge glass is clear. Open and close the water column and gauge glass blowdown valves slowly, allowing the water in the gauge glass to rise to a normal level before repeating the process.

CAUTION

DANGER

CAUTION

DANGER

Blowdown Procedure

Blowdown is most effective when the boiler water is hot and the burner is being fired at the lowest rate. This ensures that the water in the boiler is being circulated, and that the solids in the water are in suspension.

WARNING

DANGER

Be sure that the blowdown piping is in good condition, the discharge vents are clear of obstruction, and that the waste is piped to a safe point of discharge, in order to avoid serious personal injury or death.

If a quick-opening valve and globe-type or slow-opening valve are installed, the quick-opening valve is normally opened first and closed last. Control of the water released from the boiler is accomplished with the slow-opening valve.

750-177 3-5

Under no circumstances should a blowdown valve be left open and unattended during the blowdown operation.

Frequency of Blowdown

In practice, the boiler blowdown valve(s) should be opened periodically in accordance with a set operating schedule. Frequency and duration of the blowdown are to be determined by chemical analysis of boiler water and waterside boiler condition, as observed during regular inspections.

From an economy standpoint, frequent short blowdown is preferred to irregularly scheduled, lengthy blowdown. This is particularly true when the suspended solids content of the water is high.

Chapter 3 Pressure Vessel Care

F. CLEANING

Although it may be necessary to clean the system, information in this chapter deals primarily with cleaning the boiler under isolated conditions.

System piping connected to the boiler may contain oil, grease, or other foreign matter. These impurities must be removed to prevent damage to the heating surfaces of the pressure vessel. Chemical cleaning generally is necessary in this case and the entire system should be drained after cleaning. Consult your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative for recommended cleaning compounds and application procedures. For information on Boilout, see Section G, in this chapter.

Pressure Vessel

Cleaning of the waterside of the pressure vessel should be done during the course of initial installation. The waterside of the pressure vessel must be cleansed of grease, sludge, and foreign material. Such deposits will shorten the life of the pressure vessel and interfere with the efficient operation and function of control or safety devices. In addition, deposits might cause unnecessary and expensive rework, repairs, and downtime.

The pressure vessel and the hot water system represent in effect, a closed system. Although individual components of the system may already have been cleaned, it is possible that:

G. BOILOUT

Any oil, grease, or other contamination found to be present on waterside heating surfaces should be removed promptly by boiling out the unit with an alkaline detergent solution.

Note: Before boiling out, the burner must be ready for firing. Refer to the burner manual for details. The operator must be familiar with the boilout procedures outlined in this section.

Cleaver-Brooks recommends the use of CB3900,(P/N 797-

1797) an alkaline, detergent-based product suitable for cleaning all internal surfaces in heating and process boilers. Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative for additional information or assistance.

If the system is to be cleaned with the boiler, consider the additional water content of the system in determining the

Boilout Procedure

1. Prepare the boiler for firing by taking the standard precautions. Check for any situations that might present a hazard.

2. Remove upper and lower drum handhole covers and inspect all internal waterside surfaces. Remove debris

Pressure Vessel Care Chapter 3

and wash all internal surfaces, including tubes. It may be necessary to use a high pressure hose or a wash out lance to flush out inaccessible areas. Reinstall the lower drum handhole cover. (Use standard service gaskets during the boilout procedure.)

3. The relief valve(s) must be removed before adding the boilout solution so that neither the solution nor the contaminants that it may carry can come in contact with the valve(s). Use care in removing, handling, and reinstalling these valves.

Note: For relief valve installation information, refer to Chapter 8, Section E. “Controls.”

4. Replace the regular gauge glass with a temporary gauge glass that can be discarded after the cleaning (steam boilers).

5. An overflow pipe should be connected to one of the top boiler openings and routed to a safe point of discharge. A relief valve tapping is usually used for this purpose. The overflow connection to the boiler should incorporate a tee fitting for adding cleaning solution to the boiler.

6. Fill the unit with clean water to a point just below the access port in the upper drum. It is important that the water used for the filling process is at a temperature of 70°F or above.

12. Throughout the entire process, each blow-down point or valve should be blown at least once every two hours. The total amount of water blown from all points each time should be approximately one-half gauge glass, this amount being equally divided among the various manual blowdown points and continuous blowdown system. Blow the surface and/or continuous blow-down points first, followed by the other blowdown points lower on the boiler. After each blowdown cycle, the water level should be brought back to full. If the total alkalinity in the cleaning solution falls to a level below 3000 ppm, it may be necessary to add additional Cleaver-Brooks 3900, using a chemical pump.

13. Allow a small amount of fresh water to enter the boiler in order to create a slight overflow that will carry off surface impurities. Continue to boil and overflow until the water clears.

14. It is difficult to provide specific recommendations regarding the duration of the cleaning process. In general, a period of 18 to 36 hours will prove sufficient to internally clean the water-side of the boiler. The condition of the water blown from the boiler is the best indicator as to whether the cleaning process is complete.

15. Discontinue firing, and allow the water to cool. After letting the water cool to 120°F or less, drain the boiler.

7. Add the recommended amount of Cleaver-Brooks 3900, using a chemical pump. Never pump the cleaning chemical into the boiler before adding water.

WARNING

DANGER

The chemicals used in this procedure are corrosive to eyes and skin. Always refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet to ensure that the proper safety equipment and precautions are present. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.

8. Reinstall the upper handhole cover.

9. Continue to fill the boiler until it is full (indicated by flow from the overflow connection).

10. Recheck the burner, gauge glass, pressure gauge, feedwater supply and the position of all valves. Make sure that all water feeding and level indicating apparatus are in proper working condition.

11. Fire the boiler intermittently at the burners lowest fire rate until the water reaches the boiling point. The water should be held at this temperature for at least five hours.

Note: Do not produce pressure in the boiler.

WARNING

DANGER

Be sure to drain the hot water to a safe point of discharge to avoid the possibility of scalding, serious personal injury or death.

16. Remove the drum handhole cover, and wash the waterside surfaces thoroughly, using a high pressure water stream. Direct the water stream into each individual tube. If possible, this washing should be done from the bottom up. A wash out lance is available from your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative.

17. Inspect the waterside surfaces. If they are not clean, repeat the boilout procedures.

18. Replace the handhole covers (using new gaskets) and reinstall the relief valve(s).

Note: Refer to Chapter 8, Section E, “Controls” for information regarding proper installation of relief valves.

19. If the boiler is to be put into service immediately, fill the boiler with clean, treated water and fire the burner until the water has been heated to at least 180°F to drive off any dissolved gases that might otherwise corrode the metal.

20. If the boiler is not to be put into immediate service, refer to the section on boiler layup procedures in this chapter.

750-177 3-7

Chapter 3 Pressure Vessel Care

H. WASHING OUT

Depending on system integrity, feedwater quality, or operating conditions, the water side of the boiler may need to be washed out on occasion.

In theory, a hot water system and boiler that have been initially cleaned, filled with clean, treated water, and with no makeup water added, will require no further cleaning or treatment. However, minor system leaks may allow the admission of additional water or air into the boiler.

Introduction of raw (untreated) makeup water or air to a hot water boiler may lead to pitting, corrosion, or formation of sludge, sediment, or scale on the pressure vessel waterside.

The waterside condition of steam boilers can be likewise affected by feedwater quality, load demands, operating conditions, or blowdown practices.

The waterside of a hot water or steam boiler should be cleaned and inspected no later than three months after the boiler is put into service. Subsequent cleaning of waterside surfaces should be performed as indicated through periodic inspection.

In order to thoroughly wash out the waterside of the pressure vessel, the handhole covers at the ends of the upper and lower drums must be removed. The interior surfaces of the drums should be washed with a high pressure hose. Tubes should be cleaned by directing a high pressure stream of water into the end of each tube, first from the bottom, and then from the top drum.

Note: A washout lance for this purpose is available from your local Cleaver- Brooks authorized representative.

available. Be prepared to perform any testing required by the inspector, including a hydrostatic test.

When shutting down a boiler, the load should be reduced gradually and the pressure vessel should be cooled at a rate that avoids a temperature differential that can cause harmful stresses. Normally, all pressure should be relieved before a vessel is drained in order to prevent uneven contraction and temperature differential that can cause tubes to leak. Draining the unit too quickly may cause the baking of deposits that may be present on the heating surfaces.

Note: Check to see that system valves, feedwater valves, all fuel valves, expansion tank, and electrical switches are shut off prior to opening the handholes or the burner access door. After proper cooling and draining of the vessel, flush out the waterside with a high pressure water stream. Remove any scale or deposits from the waterside surfaces and check for internal or external corrosion or leakage.

Fireside surfaces also should be cleaned so that metal surfaces, welds, joints, tube fittings, and any previous repairs can be readily checked.

WARNING

DANGER

To avoid the hazard of electrical shock, which could cause serious personal injury or death, the use of a low voltage flashlight is recommended during an internal inspection.

Control and water column connections on steam boilers should be checked for accumulated deposits, and cleaned as required.

After waterside cleaning has been completed, replace the handhole covers, using new gaskets.

Note: Handhole cover gaskets are installed dry; that is, without application of a sealing compound.

I. PERIODIC INSPECTION

Insurance regulations or local codes and good maintenance will require that the pressure vessel be inspected periodically by an authorized inspector. Sufficient notice is generally required to allow removal of the boiler from service and preparation for inspection. An internal inspection may be required before cleaning or flushing.

Have the following information available for the inspector: boiler design, dimensions, generating capacity, operating pressure and temperature, time in service, defects found previously, and any repairs or modifications made to the unit. Reference records of previous inspections also should be

3-8 750-177

Fireside Inspection

Access for inspection of the firing chamber, or furnace, is gained through the hinged burner door. Inspection of the upper pass requires removal of the side casing panels and second and fourth pass cover plates. Refer to Chapter 8, Section C, “Fireside Cleaning,” for information regarding outer and inner casing removal.

Fireside tube surfaces should be checked for corrosion or accumulation of soot. Use a vacuum cleaner and wire brush to remove light corrosion or soot.

Localized, heavy corrosion on fireside tube surfaces may indicate a leaking tube or ferrule connection. If a tube or tube ferrule leak is indicated, the source of the leakage must be found and repaired before putting the boiler back in service. A leak from a tube-to-drum connection may require removal and reseating of the tube. A heavily corroded or leaking tube must be replaced in order to assure continued reliable operation of the boiler. Information regarding tube replacement can be obtained from your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative.

Pressure Vessel Care Chapter 3

Waterside Inspection

Check all water piping and valves for leaks, wear, corrosion, and other damage. Replace or repair the piping and valves as necessary. Inspection covers at one end of the upper and lower drums provide access to the interior of the drums for visual inspection or washout. The interior surfaces of the drums should be examined for any sign of corrosion or accumulation of deposits.

J. PREPARATION FOR EXTENDED

LAYUP

Many boilers used for heating or seasonal loads or for standby service may have extended periods of non-use. The procedures outlined in this section are designed to allow a boiler to be kept off line for any period of time without damage to the unit. Special care must be taken so that neither waterside nor fireside surfaces are allowed to deteriorate from corrosion. Operating boilers can be protected from corrosion and scale by applying various chemical treatments and monitoring the system on a regular basis. However, boilers that are taken off line, even for short intervals, are susceptible to oxygen attack. Boiler drums and/or tubes may sustain pitting type damage during either wet or dry layup if proper precautions are not taken.

Preparing The Boiler For Layup

To prepare a boiler for layup, thoroughly clean the fireside by removing any soot or other products of combustion from the tubes, exposed drum surfaces, and refractory.

CAUTION

DANGER

The insulating refractory covering the top of the bottom drum must be protected from damage when work is being done in the boiler furnace area. Damage to the insula tion may eventually cause damage to the boiler itself.

Generally, a good brushing will clean fireside surfaces. Use a wire brush for metal surfaces and a soft bristle brush for the refractory. Sweep away or vacuum any accumulation.

To prevent condensation from forming in the control cabinet, keep the control circuit energized. For extended layup periods, especially where high humidity or large swings in ambient temperature occur, the flame safeguard control should be removed and stored in a dry atmosphere.

It is recommended that the burner air inlet be blocked to prevent the flow of warm, moist air through the boiler.

Oxygen solubility at ambient (off-line) temperatures can be many times that of normal boiler operating temperatures. The higher the oxygen concentration, the greater the oxygen corrosion potential. Problems also can occur as a result of improper shutdown procedures, where settled solids can dry in a hard, adherent deposit.

Care must be take to prevent fireside corrosion, especially when firing oil that contains sulfur. Dormant periods, and even frequent shutdowns, expose the fireside surfaces to condensation during cooling. Moisture and any sulfur residue can form an acid solution. Under certain conditions, and especially in areas with high humidity, the corrosive effect of the acid can be serious. An acid solution could eat through or severely damage boiler tubes or other metal heating surfaces during the time that a boiler is out of service.

Too many conditions exist to lay down definite rules for individual installations. In general, there are two methods of storage: wet or dry. Your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative can recommend the better method based on the circumstances of your particular installation. Regardless of the method employed, the boiler should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected prior to storage. With either method, common sense dictates a periodic recheck of fireside and waterside conditions during layup to meet the requirements of special or job site conditions.

CAUTION

DANGER

A label should be affixed to the burner advising that the air inlet has been blocked. Failure to remove the air inlet block when at tempting to operate the burner may result in damage to the equipment.

Dry Storage

Dry storage generally is used for boilers that are to be out of service for some time or for boilers that might be subjected to freezing conditions. With the dry storage method, the boiler must be thoroughly dried because any moisture would cause corrosion. Drying can be accomplished by the use of a small stove or heater.

Both fireside and waterside surfaces must be cleaned of all scale, deposits, soot, and other combustion products as soon as possible after shutdown.

All openings to the pressure vessel, such as handholes or inspection ports, should be closed tightly. Feedwater and system valves should be closed. Dampers should be closed to prevent air from reaching the fireside surfaces.

Steps must be taken to eliminate moisture by placing moisture-absorbing materials on trays inside the boiler. Two moisture-absorbing materials are: quick-lime (at 2 pounds for 3 cubic feet of volume) or silica gel (at 5 pounds for 30 cubic feet of volume). As soon as the material is in place, close all boiler openings and blank all connections.

750-177 3-9

possibility of freezing temperatures must be considered.

WARNING

DANGER

Materials described in this section may be considered hazardous under the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. Material Safety Data Sheets should be obtained and understood prior to the use of these products to avoid the possibility of serious personal injury or death.

Wet Storage

Note: It is always best to consult with a water treatment consultant before proceeding with extended layup.

Wet storage is used when the boiler will be out of service for shorter periods of time, when a boiler is held in standby conditions, or in cases where dry storage is not practical. The boiler held in wet storage can be brought back into service more quickly than one held in dry storage. However, the

Again, take care to protect metal surfaces. Because of the number of variables, it is difficult to offer definite recommendations. However, it is suggested that the pressure vessel be drained, thoroughly cleaned internally, and refilled to overflowing with treated water.

If deaerated water is not available, the unit should be fired to boil the water for a short period of time in order to drive off oxygen in the water.

Tightly close all connections and apply a small positive pressure to compensate for the vacuum that will develop as the unit cools to room temperature. Internal water pressure should be maintained at greater than atmospheric pressure. Nitrogen often is used to pressurize the vessel.

The boiler water should be tested weekly as long as the unit is in storage. Additional chemicals may be required to prevent internal corrosion. If more chemicals are added, it is desirable to circulate the boiler water for a short time by means of an external pump.

Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative for water treatment chemicals or assistance.

A. GENERAL

Chapter 4 outlines the electrical sequencing of various controls through the pre-purge, ignition, run, and shutdown cycles of the burner.

The program relay establishes the sequence of operation and directs the operation of all other controls and components to provide an overall operating sequence.

Note: The make or model of the program relay provided will vary depending upon job specifications. The following sequence applies regardless of the make or model. Please refer to the Wiring Diagram (WD) prepared by Cleaver-Brooks for your specific installation.

Abbreviations for the various electrical components are listed in Figure 4-1. The sequences outlined in Chapter 4 employ specific nomenclature to aid in applying the text to the wiring diagram.

The burner and control system are in starting condition when the following conditions exist:

• Boiler water is up to the correct level, closing the lowwater cutoff switch.

• The low-water light (panel) is off.

• The operating limit pressure control (steam boiler) or the operating limit temperature control (hot water boiler) and high limit pressure or temperature control are below their cutoff setting.

• All applicable limits are correct for burner operation.

• The load demand light glows.

All entrance switches are closed and power is present at the line terminals of:

• Blower motor starter

• Oil pump motor starter (if provided).

The sequences do not attempt to correlate the action of the fuel supply system or feedwater system except for the

interlock controls that directly relate to the action of the program relay. Chapters 5 and 6 contain operating instructions and specific information on setting and adjusting the controls.

B. CIRCUIT AND INTERLOCK

CONTROLS

The burner control circuit is a two-wire system designed for 115 Vac, 60 Hz, single-phase power.

The electrical portion of the boiler is made up of individual circuits with controls that are wired in a manner designed to provide a safe workable system. The program relay provides connection points for the interconnection of the various circuits.

The controls used vary depending upon the fuel oil or gas and the specific requirement of applicable regulatory bodies. Refer to the boiler wiring diagram to determine the actual controls provided. The circuits and controls normally used in the circuits follow and are referred to in the following sequence of operation.

Limit Circuit:

• Burner switch (BS)

• High fire switch (HFS)

C. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION - OIL

OR GAS

On a combination fuel unit, the gas/oil switch must be set for the proper fuel.

The following sequence occurs with power present at the program relay (PR) input terminals and with all other operating conditions satisfied.

Pre-Purge Cycle - When the burner switch (BS) is turned “on,” and controls wired in the “limit” and “fuel valve interlock” circuits are closed and no flame signal is present, the “blower motor start circuit” is powered energizing the blower motor starter (BMS). The load demand light (LDL) turns on.

At the same time, the program relay signals the modulating damper motor (MDM) to open the air damper. The damper begins to open and drives to its full open or high fire position. Opening the damper motor allows a flow of purging air through the boiler prior to the ignition cycle.

On certain boilers the circuitry will include a high fire switch (HFS). The purpose of the switch is to prove that the modulating damper motor (MDM) has driven the damper to the open position during the pre-purge cycle. In this instance, the “high fire proving circuit” is utilized.

The controls wired into the “running interlock circuit” must be closed within 10 seconds after the start sequence. In the event any of the controls are not closed at this time, or if they subsequently open, the program relay will go into a safety shutdown.

At the completion of the high fire purge period, the program relay signals the modulating damper motor (MDM) to drive the air damper to its low fire position.

To assure that the system is in low fire position prior to ignition, the low fire switch (LFS) must be closed to complete the “low fire proving circuit.” The sequence will stop and hold until the modulating damper motor (MDM) has returned to the low fire position and the contacts of the low fire switch (LFS) are closed. Once the low fire switch is closed, the sequence is allowed to continue.

Note: The ignition trial cannot be started if flame or a flame simulating condition is sensed during the pre-purge period. A safety shutdown will occur if flame is sensed at this time.

Running Interlock and Limit Circuit

• Low oil pressure switch (LOPS)

• High oil pressure switch (HOPS)

• Auxiliary low-water cutoff (ALWCO)

4-2 750-177

Ignition Cycle - The ignition transformer (IT) and gas pilot valve (GPV) are energized from the appropriate pilot ignition terminal.

Note: An oil-fired burner may be equipped with a direct spark rather than a gas pilot. The ignition sequence of both is identical.

Sequence Of Operation Chapter 4

The pilot flame must be established and proven by the flame detector (FD) within a 10 second period in order for the ignition cycle to continue. If for any reason this does not happen, the system will shut down and safety lockout will occur.

Note: Depending upon the requirements of the regulatory body, insurer or fuel being burned, either the 10 or 15 second pilot ignition terminal may be used. Both provide the same function but differ in time interval allowed for proving main flame ignition. Refer to the boiler wiring diagram.

With a proven pilot, the main fuel valve(s) (OV or MGV) is energized and the main fuel valve light (FVL) in the panel is lighted. The main flame is ignited and the trial period for proving the main flame begins. It lasts 10 seconds for light oil and natural gas. At the end of the proving period, if the flame detector still detects main flame, the ignition transformer and pilot valve are deenergized and pilot flame is extinguished.

Note: If the main flame does not light, or stay lit, the fuel valve will close. The safety switch will trip to lock out the control. Refer to flame loss sequence (section D) for description of action.

the pressure vessel metal and refractory to undesirable conditions.

The burner starting cycle is now complete. The (LDL) and (FVL) lights on the panel remain lit. Demand firing continues as required by load conditions.

Burner Shudown-Post Purge - The burner will fire until steam pressure or water temperature in excess of demand is generated. With modulated firing, the modulating damper motor (MDM) should return to the low fire position before the operating limit control (OLC) opens. When the limit control circuit is opened, the following sequence occurs:

The main fuel valve circuit is deenergized, causing the main fuel valve (MGV) or (OV) to close. The flame is extinguished. The control panel lights (LDL) and (FVL) are turned off. The blower motor continues to run to force air through the boiler for the post purge period.

The blower motor start circuit is deenergized at the end of the post purge cycle and the shutdown cycle is complete.

The program relay is now ready for subsequent recycling, and when steam pressure or water temperature drops to close the contacts of the operating control, the burner again goes through its normal starting and operating cycle.

WARNING

DANGER

The cause for loss of flame or any other unusual condition should be investigated and corrected before attempting to restart. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury or death

Run Cycle - With main flame established, the program relay releases the modulating damper motor (MDM) from its low fire position to control by either the manual flame control (MFC) or the modulating control (MC), depending upon the position of the manual-automatic switch (MAS). This allows operation in ranges above low fire.

With the manual-automatic switch (MAS) set at automatic, subsequent modulated firing will be at the command of the modulating control (MC), which governs the position of the modulating damper motor (MDM). The air damper and fuel valves are actuated by the motor through a linkage and cam assembly to provide modulated firing rates.

Note: Normal operation of the burner should be with the manual-automatic switch in the automatic position and under the direction of the modulating control. The manual position is provided for initial adjustment of the burner over the entire firing range. When a shutdown occurs while operating in the manual position at other than low fire, the damper will not be in a closed position, thus allowing more air than desired to flow through the boiler. Excess air flow subjects

D. FLAME LOSS SEQUENCE

The program relay will recycle automatically each time the operating control closes, or after a power failure. It will lockout following a safety shutdown caused by failure to ignite the pilot, or the main flame, or by loss of flame. Lockout will also occur if flame or flame simulating condition occurs during the prepurge period.

The control will prevent start-up or ignition if limit circuit controls or fuel valve interlocks are open. The control will lock out upon any abnormal condition affecting air supervisory controls wired in the running interlock circuit.

CAUTION

DANGER

The lockout switch must be manually reset following a safety shutdown. The cause for loss of flame or any unusual condition should be investigated and corrected before attempting to restart. Failure to follow these instructions could cause damage to the equipment.

1. No pilot flame.

The pilot flame must be ignited and proven within a 10second period after the ignition cycle begins. If not proven within this period, the main fuel valve circuit will not be powered and the fuel valve(s) will not be energized. The ignition circuit is immediately deenergized and the pilot valve closes, the reset switch lights and lockout occurs immediately.

750-177 4-3

Chapter 4 Sequence Of Operation

The blower motor will continue to operate. The flame failure light and the alarm bell (optional) are energized 10 seconds later.

The blower motor will be deenergized. The lockout switch must be manually reset before operation can be resumed. (Refer to the previous caution.)

2. Pilot but no main flame.

When the pilot flame is proven, the main fuel valve circuit is energized. Depending upon the length of the trial-for-ignition period, the pilot flame will be extinguished 10 or 15 seconds later. The flame detecting circuit will respond to deenergize the main fuel valve circuit within 2 to 4 seconds to stop the flow of fuel. The reset switch lights and lockout occurs immediately. The blower motor will continue to operate.

The flame failure light and alarm bell (optional) are energized 10 seconds later.

The blower motor will be then deenergized. The lockout switch must be manually reset before operation can be resumed. (Refer to the previous caution.)

3. Loss of flame.

If a flame outage occurs during normal operation and/or the flame is no longer sensed by the detector, the flame relay will trip within 2 to 4 seconds to deenergize the fuel valve circuit and shut off the fuel flow. The reset switch lights and lockout occurs immediately. The blower motor continues operation. The flame failure light and alarm bell (optional) are energized 10 seconds later.

Preventive maintenance and scheduled inspection of all components should be followed. Periodic checking of the relay is recommended to see that a safety lockout will occur under conditions of failure to ignite either pilot or main flame, or from loss of flame.

The blower motor will be deenergized. The lockout switch must be manually reset before operation can be resumed. (Refer to the previous caution.)

If the burner will not start, or upon a safety lockout, the trouble shooting section in the operating manual and the technical bulletin should be referred to for assistance in pinpointing problems that may not be readily apparent.

The program relay has the capability to self-diagnose and to display a code or message that indicates the failure condition. Refer to the control bulletin for specifics and suggested remedies. Familiarity with the program relay and other controls in the system can be obtained by studying the contents of the manual and this bulletin.

Knowledge of the system and its controls will make troubleshooting much easier. Costly down time or delays can be prevented by systematic checks of the actual operation against the normal sequence to determine the stage at which performance deviates from normal. Following a routine may possibly eliminate overlooking an obvious condition, often one that is relatively simple to correct.

Remember, a safety device, for the most part, is doing its job when it shuts down or refuses to operate. Never

attempt to

circumvent any of the safety features.

A. GENERAL PREPARATION FOR

INITIAL STARTUP

Note: If the boiler is not equipped with a ProFire burner. Please refer to the specific Operation and Maintenance manual for the burner supplied.

Instructions in Chapter 5 are all based upon installation being complete and all electrical, fuel, water and vent stack connections are made.

The operator should be familiar with the burner, boiler, and all controls and components. To quickly locate and identify the various controls and components mentioned in the following paragraphs, refer to the illustrations and the contents of Chapters 1, 2 and 3. Instructions for adjusting major components are given in Chapter 6 this should be reviewed prior to firing. The wiring diagram should also have been studied, along with the firing sequence outlined in Chapter 4.

WARNING

DANGER

It is recommended that the starting instructions be read completely until they are thoroughly understood, before attempting to operate the boiler, rather than performing each operation as it is read for the first time. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury or death.

Verify supply of fuel and proper voltage. Check for blown fuses, open circuit breakers, dropped out overloads, etc. Check reset of all starters and controls having manual reset features. Check the lockout switch on the programmer and reset if necessary.

The boiler should be filled with water to the proper operating level using water of ambient temperature. Be sure that treated feedwater is available and used. In heating applications, the entire system should be filled and vented. Refer to Chapter 3 for water requirements. On a steam boiler, open the vent valve to vent air displaced during filling. Leave the vent valve open until the escape of steam is noted after the burner is operating.

WARNING

DANGER

Prior to firing a boiler, be sure that discharge piping from safety valves or relief valves, and discharge piping from all blowdown and drain valves, is piped to a SAFE point of discharge, so that emission of hot water or steam cannot possibly cause injury. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury or death.

Check all linkage for full and free movement of the damper and metering valves and cams. The check can be done by loosening the linkage at the damper motor connecting arm and manipulating the linkage by hand.

Check for rotation of all motors by momentarily closing the motor starter or relay. The blower impeller rotation is counter-clockwise for the ProFire, when viewed from the motor side of the burner (see Figure 5-1).

Note: All work on the burner should be performed by qualified persons knowledgeable in safe practices and applicable codes. Wiring should be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC).

750-177 5-1

Chapter 5 STARTING AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. FUEL SUPPLY

Before initial startup, verify that all fuel connections are tight. Fuel supply lines should be securely connected, correctly supported, and leak tested.

The gas train for gas-fired, or combination gas/oil, burners is provided with the overall boiler package. Configuration of the appropriate gas train is based on minimum requirements established by Underwriter’s Laboratories / Canadian Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL/cUL) and the responsible insurance carrier if applicable (Figure 5-3 shows the configuration of the gas train for various insurance requirements).

The pilot gas train is supplied with the burner, and is factoryinstalled. Figure 5-3 illustrates the pilot gas train configuration.

Fuel oil piping for oil-fired systems is shown pictorially in Figures 2-5 and 5-2. In this circuit, an oil supply line from the oil tank is connected to the inlet port of the oil pump, and an oil return line from the pump circulates excess oil from the pump back to the oil supply tank.

CAUTION

DANGER

Oil circulation back to the tank is required at all times. Do not start the burner with closed stop valves in the return lines or serious damage will occur

Cleaver-Brooks recommends that all oil firing burners be equipped with an oil strainer (if not included with the burner) to prevent particles from clogging the nozzle. It is essential to follow the strainer manufacturer's maintenance schedule to ensure proper filtration.

2. CONTROL SETTINGS - STEAM AND HOT WATER

See Chapter 6 for adjustment instructions for the following controls.

Inspect the operating limit control for proper setting.

1. The pressure control of a steam boiler should be set

slightly above the highest desired steam pressure, but at least 10% lower than the setting of the safety valve.

2. The temperature control on a hot water boiler should be

set slightly above the highest desired water temperature and within the limits of the pressure vessel.

Inspect the high limit control for proper setting.

Before burner startup, the two oil solenoid valves are in the closed (de-energized) position and the oil metering valve is in its most open position. Under this condition (with the pump operating), oil cannot flow to the oil burner nozzle, but circulates through the by-pass tubing, oil metering valve, and back to the inlet of the pump. When the flame safeguard control calls for the main flame, the two oil solenoid valves are electrically energized. After opening, oil flows through the nozzle at the low-fire flow rate.

When high-fire operation is required, the modulating motor, by way of the valve linkage, rotates the oil metering valve to its least-open position. This reduces the flow rate of oil through the by-pass circuit, which increases the oil flow to the burner nozzle.

3. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND CONNECTIONS

WARNING

DANGER

Shut off and lock out all electrical power to the burner before performing any service or maintenance that requires removal of electrical equipment covers or component parts. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury or death.

Verify that all electrical power supplies and branch circuit wiring are sized in accordance with the electrical loads shown on the specification plate on the side of the burner control cabinet (Figure 5-8). Check system interlocks, control interfaces, and any additional remote controls against the system schematic and wiring diagram. Refer to the CleaverBrooks wiring diagram supplied with the burner for specific requirements. Verify that all supply wiring terminations are tight.

4. LINKAGE CONNECTIONS

Inspect all linkages for damage and/or loosening during shipment. All fasteners must be secure for safe operation. All connections must be correctly positioned and tightened (Figure 5-9 and 5-11). Apply a lock-tight type compound to any fasteners after adjustment.

5. BURNER SETTINGS

To ensure reliable and safe burner performance, the location and gap setting of the electrodes for the direct-spark igniters, and the relative positions of the burner nozzle, diffuser, and air baffle components must be correctly set (Figures 5-5, 5-6 and 5-7). Normally these items are preset at the factory, but must be checked prior to placing the burner into initial service, or after conducting any service work that may have altered their positions.

The nozzle/diffuser assembly must be removed from inside the burner to enable measurement and adjustment of the oilspark-ignition electrodes (furnished only on oil burners) and the nozzle relative to the diffuser.

STARTING AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Chapter 5

AIR AND FUEL CONTROLS (DESCRIPTION)

The combustion system air and fuel controls have been factory adjusted, and the unit has been test fired before it was shipped. Regardless of preliminary adjustment and operation, it is necessary to readjust the controls for local conditions:

• The fuel flow controls must be adjusted to establish the rated heat input over the full range of firing-rate modula tion.

• The air controls need to be adjusted, relative to the established fuel flow rates, to provide the correct amount of air for complete, efficient combustion.

Fuel and air adjustments are similar on all ProFire burners, whether gas-fired, oil-fired, or combination gas/oil fired. The following topics describe air and fuel flow rate adjustments, and the combustion set-point objectives for optimum combustion performance:

A. AIR FLOW ADJUSTMENTS

ProFire burners have a unique air shutter design that enables precise, independent, air flow rate adjustment for both the high-fire and the low-fire operating points. This design incorporates a variable main air shutter (mounted on a shaft and direct-coupled to the modulating motor), plus two adjustable, but non-modulating, air shutters.

The modulating main air shutter regulates the flow of inlet air through the fan at flow rates between high-fire and low-fire conditions. One non-modulating air shutter (for high-fire combustion air control) is adjusted to provide the correct amount of air while the system is operating at the high-fire fuel input rate with the main air shutter fully open. The other non-modulating shutter (low-fire combustion air control) is adjusted to provide the correct amount of air with the system operating at the low-fire fuel input rate with the main shutter completely closed.

The three air shutters are mounted inside the airbox assembly. The high-fire and low-fire air shutters are mounted on independent shafts. A pointer, mounted on each shaft, indicates the set position of each non-modulating shutter. Adjustment of these shutters is accomplished by loosening a setscrew that holds the shutter shaft within a stationary collar mounted on the airbox.

B. COMBUSTION SETTINGS

Fuel and air flow rates are individually adjusted at low fire and at high fire to achieve rated heat input, firing rate turndown, optimum efficiency, safe operation, and the ability to cope with environmental changes (including air temperature, humidity, barometric pressure,) and fuel property changes. Adjustments may be required to meet certain environmental emissions criteria, such as NOx or CO. Combustion adjustments also vary with specific system applications.

750-177 5-7

Turndown capability for oil is less than that for natural gas. Therefore, on combination fueled burners, gas turndown performance may be restricted (or determined) by the excess air levels set initially for oil combustion.

Two key components residing in flue gas are used to optimize combustion efficiency; excess air and unburned fuel. The system should be adjusted to the minimum excess air quantity that provides low levels of unburned fuel with sufficient

remaining oxygen to cope with normal atmospheric and fuel related changes. Unburned fuel is measured as carbon monoxide (CO) when burning natural gas, and smoke spots when burning oil.

ProFire burners are capable of operating at CO levels of less than 50 ppm at all firing rates. The burner should be set-up and maintained to yield smoke spot levels less than a #2 spot (ASTM D2156 Shell-Bacharach Scale) to minimize soot build-up in the boiler.

C. BURNER ADJUSTMENTS,

SINGLE FUEL NATURAL GAS

Note: The operator must consider and allow for normal variations in air and fuel, which would reduce the range of excessive oxygen in the flue gas accordingly.

This section provides detailed procedures for setup and adjustment of a gas-fired combustion system. Similar discussions are also presented in this chapter for startup and adjustment of oil-fired and combination-fueled gas or oil systems.

These procedures assume that the pre-startup tasks, checklists, and adjustments have been completed, and that the boiler system is prepared for initial startup. All necessary test equipment, should be available on site and installed.

NOTE: The linkages have been factory-set and tested, although they may require fine adjustment for the specific application. If the linkage is not in place, or if the setting has been lost, install the linkage in accordance with Figure 5-9.

2. Place the burner switch to the OFF position.

3. Place the Manual/Auto mode switch to the MANUAL position.

4. Place the manual flame control potentiometer in the CLOSED (low-fire) position.

5. Check the presetting of the air shutters. (If the linkage is loose and no pre-settings are available, start with the shutter in the full open position).

STARTUP. Proceed with startup of the natural gas-fired system as follows:

1. Close the manual shutoff valves on the burner gas train.

2. Turn on electrical power for the burner, boiler, and related components.

3. Place the upstream manual gas valve in the on position, allowing natural gas to enter the gas train. (furthest from the burner). Reset Low Gas Pressure Switch (if applicable).

4. Verify that the gas metering valve is nearly closed.

5. Turn the burner switch on. This will start the blower motor and initiate the prepurge sequence.

6. When the prepurge sequence ends, the pilot valve will open. The pilot flame should be visible from the viewing window.

7. When the pilot is established, the flame safeguard will energize the main gas valve (this is accompanied by fuel valve activity and illumination of the FUEL VALVE light). The main gas valve should be visually checked by observing the stem move from the CLOSED to the OPEN position.

NOTE: For initial boiler startup, the downstream manual gas shutoff valve should be in the closed position to ensure proper operation of the automatic gas valves. This valve can then be slowly opened when the pilot is established and proven.

8. After the main flame has been established, the gas manifold pressure entering the burner should be read (using the pressure tap between the butterfly valve and the blast tube) to determine an initial estimate of the gas input rate and compare to Figure 5-10. This will provide an approximation of the burner input. Obtain a stable operating point by adjusting the butterfly valve to the

750-177 5-9

pressure indicated in Figure 5-10, and select the temporary firing rate. This rate for startup is not critical, but merely an acceptable starting point to begin the high fire adjustment procedures.

9. After a few seconds, the 02 analyzer should have an accurate reading of the 0 1 shows the acceptable 0 Normally, 0

low fire, depending on the application and burner size (see the burner specification plate for the minimum firing rate).

10. Operate the boiler at low fire until it is up to operating pressure (steam) or temperature (hot water). Then increase the fuel input to the boiler by turning the manual flame control potentiometer towards OPEN in small increments. This will cause the butterfly valve to open, allowing more gas into the burner. While increasing the input, observe that the 0

levels remain within the range

listed in Table 5-1. Adjust the gas pressure regulator, as necessary, to correct this situation. Continue to do this until the burner reaches high fire (the potentiometer is at the open position).

11. Adjust the high fire gas input to match the maximum rating. At high fire, the butterfly valve should be near the full open position. Adjust gas pressure to obtain the correct fuel input. (Maximum pressure is specified on the burner specification plate.)

If a dedicated gas meter is available, the following formula may be used to check fuel flow. Conduct this measurement while operating at a constant rate.

CONTROLS SETUP. Complete the following combination system control setup steps before beginning the oil-fired burner startup procedure:

1. Check the linkages to confirm that they are securely fastened and ready for operation (see Figure 5-11).

2. Place the burner switch to the OFF position.

3. Place the Manual/Auto mode switch to the MANUAL position.

4. Place the manual flame control potentiometer to the CLOSED (low-fire) position.

5. Check the presetting of the air shutters. (If the linkage is loose and no pre-settings are available, start with the shutter in the full open position).

6. When a gas pilot is used, open the valve in the gas pilot line.

STARTUP. Proceed with initial startup of the oil-fired system as follows:

1. Turn on the electrical power for the burner, boiler, and related components.

2. Verify that the oil metering valve is nearly open.

NOTE: Opening the oil metering valve reduces oil flow to the burner.

3. Turn the burner switch on. This will start the blower motor and initiate the prepurge sequence.

4. When the prepurge sequence ends, the pilot valve will open. The pilot flame should be visible from the viewing window.

NOTE: If the pilot is established, the flame safeguard will energize the two oil solenoid valves (this is accompanied by a click from the solenoid valves and illumination of the FUEL VALVE light) and the oil burner should ignite on low-fire.

5. After the main flame has been established, the oil pressure entering the burner nozzle should be read (by reading the oil pressure gauge downstream of the oil solenoid valves) to get an initial estimate of the fuel oil input rate. Oil pressure should be about 80 psi when operating at low-fire. Adjust the oil metering valve if the actual pressure is not within the range of 80 to 90 psi.

CAUTION

DANGER

This burner is designed to burn only those fuels shown on the burner data plate. Burning fuels not specified on the data plate could cause damage to the equipment.

In general, the combination fueled system is to be started first using oil, because, as a fuel, oil has a greater combustion air requirement than natural gas. After being completely adjusted for oil combustion, the burner is re-started and adjusted using natural gas as fuel. Combustion adjustment of the combination burner for natural gas involves balancing the input gas rates only against the existing flow of combustion air, as established initially for oil-firing. air shutters when tuning the combination burner for combustion of natural gas.

FUEL FLOW ADJUSTMENTS. Fuel flow rates are adjusted to provide the design-rated heat inputs into the burner at both high-fire (maximum rate) and low-fire (minimum rate) oper ating conditions. The maximum and minimum fuel input flow rates for the burner are identified on the data plate (see Figure 5-8). Natural gas flow rates are specified in cfh (cubic feet per hour), and fuel oil flow rates are specified in gph (gallons per hour).

Fuel flow rate adjustment for both natural gas and oil is accomplished by regulating the fuel pressure against a fixed diameter orifice (nozzle). The methods for accomplishing the pressure regulation, however, are different for natural gas and oil.

The method for regulating the natural gas flow rate (manifold pressure) is as follows:

1. Maximum flow rate is established by operating the burner at high-fire with the butterfly valve fully open, then adjusting the manifold pressure to the maximum as specified on the data plate. Maximum manifold pressure is obtained by adjusting the main gas pressure regulator on the gas train while operating the burner at high-fire.

2. Gas flow modulation for turndown is accomplished by throttling the flow rate with the butterfly valve. The flow restriction of the partially closed butterfly valve reduces the flow of gas through the burner nozzle. The butterfly valve throttling position is controlled by linkage from the main air shutter shaft, which is operated by the modulating motor.

With the modulating motor positioned for low-fire operation, the butterfly valve linkage is adjusted to provide the minimum pressure in the nozzle manifold, as specified on the burner data plate.

STARTING AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Chapter 5

The method for regulating the fuel-oil flow rate (nozzle pressure) is as follows:

1. Maximum flow rate is established by operating the burner at high-fire with the oil metering valve in a nearly closed position with the modulating motor set at the high-fire position. In this position, the flow of fuel oil through the oil by-pass is minimal, resulting in nearly maximum flow pressure from the pump. High-fire oil flow adjustment is accomplished by adjusting the linkage to the oil metering valve so that the burner nozzle pressure equals the maximum oil pressure specification on the burner data plate (see Figure 5-8).

2. Oil pressure modulation for turndown to low-fire operation is accomplished by increasing the flow rate of oil through the oil by-pass loop, which reduces pressure in the burner nozzle. This is accomplished by setting the modulating motor to the low-fire position, which causes the oil metering valve to open. While in this position, the oil metering valve linkage can be adjusted so that the burner nozzle pressure equals the minimum oil pressure specification on the burner specification plate (see Figure 5-8).

F. STARTUP, OPERATING AND

SHUTDOWN - ALL FUELS

Depending upon the fuel being burned, the applicable previous sections in Chapter 5 should be reviewed for preliminary instructions.

The fuel selector switch should be, accordingly, set to either oil or gas.

Set the manual-automatic switch (Figure 2-1) to “manual” and turn the manual flame control to “close.”

Turn burner switch to “ON.” The load demand light should glow. The low-water level light should remain out, indicating a safe water level in the boiler. The programmer is now sequencing. See Chapter 4 for sequence details.

Note: On an initial starting attempt, several efforts might be required to accomplish “bleeding” of fuel lines, main or pilot. If ignition does not then occur, do not repeat unsuccessful attempts without rechecking the burner and pilot adjustment.

On ignition failure, the flame failure light will glow and the blower will purge the boiler of unburned fuel vapors before stopping. After ignition failure, wait a few moments before re-setting the lockout switch.

Do not re-light the pilot or attempt to start the main burner, either oil or gas, if the combustion chamber is hot and/or if gas or oil vapor combustion gases are present in the furnace or flue passages. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury or death.

The burner and control system is designed to provide a “pre-purge” period of fan operation prior to establishing ignition spark and pilot flame. Do not attempt to alter the system or take any action that might circumvent the “pre-purge” feature. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury or death.

After main flame ignition, the burner should be set on manual control at its low fire setting (that is, with manual flame control at “close”) until the boiler is properly warmed. In the case of a steam boiler, CLOSE THE VENT VALVE when the steam begins to appear.

A hot water boiler must have a continuous flow of system water through the vessel during the warm-up period. The entire water content of the system and boiler must be warmed prior to increasing fuel input.

If the flame at low fire provides insufficient heat to reach normal operating pressure or temperature after 30 minutes, gradually increase the firing rate by turning the manual flame control in one point increments. Operate at the increased fuel input rate for a period of time until an increase is noted in pressure or temperature.

After the boiler is thoroughly warmed, turn the manual flame control to high fire. At this point a combustion analysis should be made, with instruments, and fuel flow regulated as required. Refer to the adjustment procedures in Chapter 6. After making the high-fire adjustment, manually decrease the firing rate to analyze combustion gases, and adjust as required.

To properly perform the testing and adjusting, it is necessary that the burner be allowed to fire at a maximum rate long enough to achieve desired results.

Operating - Normal operation of the burner should be with the switch in the automatic position and under the direction of the modulating control. The manual position is provided for initial adjustment of the burner over the entire firing range. When a shutdown occurs while operating in the manual

With the switch set at “auto,” the burner will operate on a modulating basis according to the load demand.

The burner will continue to operate with modulated firing until the operating limit pressure or temperature is reached, unless:

1. The burner is manually turned “off.”

2. A low-water condition is detected by low-water level control.

3. The electrical or fuel supply is interrupted.

4. The combustion air pressure drops below minimum level.

Note: There can be other reasons for shutdown such as motor overload, flame outages, tripped circuit breakers, blown fuses, or through other interlock devices in the circuitry.

When the burner is shut down normally, by either the operating limit control or by manually switching the burner off, the load demand light no longer glows.

Shutdown through conditions causing safety or interlock controls to open will actuate the flame failure light (and alarm if so equipped) and the load demand light will remain lit. The cause of this type of shutdown will have to be located, investigated, and corrected before operation can be resumed. Refer to the troubleshooting section in Chapter 7.

Shutdown - When the operating limit control setting is reached to open the circuit or if the burner switch is turned “off,” the following sequence occurs.

The fuel valve is deenergized and the flame is extinguished. The timer begins operation and the blower motor continues running to force air through the furnace in the post-purge period.

At the end of the programmed post-purge period, the blower motor is turned off. The timer has returned to its original starting position and stops. The unit is ready to re-start.

Promptly correct any conditions causing leakage. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury or death

G. CONTROL OPERATIONAL TEST

AND CHECKS

Proper operation of the various controls should be verified and tested when the boiler is initially placed into service, or whenever a control is replaced. Periodic checks should be made thereafter in accordance with a planned maintenance program.

The operating limit control may be checked by allowing steam pressure or water temperature to increase until the burner shuts down. Depending upon the load, it may be necessary to manually increase the firing rate to raise steam pressure to the burner shut off point. If the load is heavy, the header valve can be closed or throttled until the pressure increases. Observe the steam gauge to check the cut off pressure as the operating limit control shuts the burner down. Slowly open the header valve to release steam pressure and check the cut-in setting as the burner restarts. Check the modulating control for the desired operating pressure range. See Chapter 6 for instructions on the adjustment of controls.

The water temperature on a hot water boiler that may be operating at less than full load may be raised by manually increasing the firing rate until the burner shuts down through the action of the operating limit control. Observe the thermometer to verify the desired settings at the point of cutout and again when the burner restarts. Return the manual automatic switch to “automatic” and check the modulating control for the desired temperature range. See Chapter 6 for instructions on the adjustment of the controls.

Check the proper operation and setting of the low-water cutoff and the auxiliary low water cutoff (and pump operating control, if used).

Proper operation of the flame failure device should be checked at startup and at least once a week thereafter. Refer to Chapter 8 for information on flame safety checks. Check the program relay’s annunciation for any system failure. Observe the promptness of ignition of the pilot flame and the main flame.

It is advisable to check for tight shut-off of fuel valves. Despite precautions and

A. GENERAL

Each Cleaver-Brooks boiler is tested for correct operation before shipment from the factory. However, variable conditions such as burning characteristics of the fuel and operating load conditions may require further adjustment after installation to assure maximum operating efficiency and economy.

A combustion efficiency analysis made during the initial start-up will help to determine what additional adjustments are required in a particular installation.

Prior to placing the boiler into service, a complete inspection should be made of all controls, connecting piping, wiring, and all fastenings such as nuts, bolts and setscrews to be sure that no damage has occurred, or that adjustments have not changed during shipment and installation.

The adjustment procedures in Chapter 6 apply to standard components furnished on steam or hot water boilers fired with gas and/or the various grades of oil.

B. LINKAGE - MODULATING MOTOR

AND AIR DAMPER

The linkage consists of various arms, connecting rods, and swivel ball joints that transmit motion from the modulating motor to the metering valve, to the air damper, and to the gas butterfly valve, if used.

When properly adjusted, a coordinated movement of the damper and metering valves within the limits of the modulating motor travel is attained to provide proper fuel-air ratios through the firing range.

In linkage adjustments there are several important factors that must serve as guides.

1. The modulating motor must be able to complete its full travel range.

CAUTION

DANGER

Do not restrict the full travel of the modulating motor. Failure to follow these instructions could result in equipment damage.

750-177 6-1

Chapter 6 Adjustment Procedures

2. Initial adjustment should be made with the motor in full closed position, that is with the shaft on the power end of the motor in its most counterclockwise position.

3. The closer the linkage rod connector is to the drive shaft, the less the arm will travel; the closer the connector is to the driven shaft, the farther that arm will travel.

Figure 6-1 shows the linkage required for a gas-oil combination burner. Prior to initially firing a boiler it is advisable to check for free movement of the linkage. The damper motor must be allowed to complete its full stroke and the damper must move freely from low to high fire position. Adjustment of linkage connected to a gas butterfly valve is described in Section P of Chapter 6.

C. MODULATING MOTOR

The modulating motor has a 90° shaft rotation. The motor manufacturer also provides a 160° stroke model for other applications. than a Cleaver-Brooks Service or Parts representative, it may have an incorrect stroke. To prevent damage, verify the 90° stroke prior to installing a replacement.

The stroke may be determined by powering the motor and connecting terminals R-B to actually determine the stroke as motor drives to an open position.

If a replacement is obtained from someone other

D. MODULATING MOTOR SWITCHES

- LOW FIRE AND HIGH FIRE

The modulating motor contains either one or two internal switches depending upon application. The microswitches are actuated by adjustable cams attached to the motor shaft.

Factory replacement motors have the cams preset. The low fire start switch is set to make the red and yellow leads at approximately 8° on motor closing. The high fire purge air proving switch (located in the modulating motor) is set to make red and blue tracer leads at approximately 60° the on motor opening. Normally the settings are left as is, but job conditions may require readjustment. If the cams require adjustment or resetting, follow the instructions in the manufacturer’s technical manual.

E. BURNER OPERATING CONTROLS

- GENERAL

Note: Adjustments to the boiler operating controls should be made by an authorized Cleaver-Brooks Service Technician. Refer to the appropriate boiler Operation and Maintenance manual for specific information on boiler startup and operation.

The standard boiler operating control package consists of three separate controls, the Limit Control and the Modulating control.

The High Limit Control senses the hot water temperature or steam pressure. It is used as a safety limit to turn the burner off in the event the operating limit control fails. The high limit control should be set sufficiently above the operating limit control to avoid nuisance shutdowns.

The Operating Limit Control senses temperature or pressure and automatically turns the burner on to initiate the start-up sequence when required and turns the burner off to initiate the shutdown sequence when the demand is satisfied. The control must be set to initiate startup only at the low fire position.

High Limit Control, Operating

6-2 750-177

Adjustment Procedures Chapter 6

The Modulating Control senses changes in the hot water temperature or steam pressure and signals the modulating motor to control the flow of fuel and air to the burner. With either steam or hot water boilers, the modulating control must be set to ensure the burner is at its minimum low fire position before the operating limit control either starts or stops the burner.

When adjusting or setting controls, first be sure all control devices are securely mounted and level. With the temperature sensing control, make sure the sensing bulb is properly bottomed in its well and is secured against movement. Be sure the connecting tubing is not kinked.

The dial settings are generally accurate; although it is not

unusual to have a slight variation between a scale setting and an actual pressure gauge or thermometer reading. Always adjust control setting to agree with pressure gauge or thermometer readings. Accurate instrument readings are required. When necessary use auxiliary test equipment to set controls.

Burner controls correctly set to match load demands will provide operational advantages and achieve the following desirable objectives:

• The burner will be operating in low fire position prior to shut down.

• The burner will operate at low fire for a brief period on each start during normal operation.

• Eliminates frequent burner on-off cycling.

Separate and independent controls affect modulated firing and burner on-off cycling. Figure 6-4 depicts a typical setting relationship of the operating limit control, modulating control and the high limit control.

The burner will be “on” whenever the pressure or temperature is less than point B and “off” whenever pressure or temperature is greater than point A. The distance between points A and B represents the “on-off” differential of the operating limit control.

In normal operation, the burner will shut down whenever the pressure or temperature rises above setting A. At that point the switch in the operating limit control will open. As the pressure or temperature drops back to B, the

operating limit control closes and the burner will restart. The modulating control will signal the modulating motor to be in a low fire position. If the load demands exceed the low fire input potential, the

modulating control will increase the firing rate proportionately as pressure or temperature falls toward point D. The modulating motor will stop at any intermediate point between C and D whenever the fuel input balances the load requirement.

Figure 6-3: Hot Water Operating Controls

As the load requirement changes, the firing rate will change accordingly. Thus it is referred to as modulated firing.

Point D represents the maximum firing rate of the burner, or highfire. In the event pressure or temperature drops while the burner is firing at highfire, it indicates that the load exceeds the capacity of the boiler.

The firing graph (Figure 6-4) shows that point B and point C do not coincide. Extreme load conditions could require the points be closely matched.

modulating control range and operating control range.

When firing a cold boiler, it is recommended that the burner be kept at low fire, under manual flame control, until normal operating pressure or temperature is reached. If the burner is not under manual control on a cold start, it will immediately move toward high fire as soon as the program control releases the circuit that holds the burner in low fire. The modulating control will be calling for high fire and the burner will move to that position as rapidly as the damper motor can complete its travel.

Note: Rapid heat input can subject the pressure vessel metal and refractory to

CAUTION

DANGER

Excessive cycling increases the potential and severity of internal condensation. OnOff cycling should be limited to eight (8) cy cles or less per hour to keep the blower motor from overheating and excessive wear on the switch gear and pilot. Failure to follow these instructions could result in damage and premature failure of the equipment.

If points B and C overlap when restart occurs, the burner would drive to a higher firing position immediately after the main flame was proven.

undesirable conditions.

Do not operate the boiler in excess of 90% of the safety valve relief setting. The closer the operating pressure is to the safety valve relief pressure, the greater the possibility of valve leakage. Continued leakage, however slight, will cause erosion and necessitate early safety valve replacement. The control settings on a hot water boiler must be within the temperature limits of the boiler.

Ideally, the boiler operating controls should be set under actual load conditions. Especially under new construction conditions, the boiler is initially started and set to operate under less than full load requirements. As soon as possible thereafter, the controls should be reset to provide maximum

Note: It is not recommended that the boiler controls be set so as to overlap the

utilization of the modulating firing system. To accomplish maximum utilization, and assuming that air/fuel combustion ratios have been set, make the required adjustments to the controls to bring the boiler pressure or temperature up to meet the load requirements.

To properly set the modulating control, carefully adjust it under load conditions, until the load is maintained with the burner firing at a steady rate. The firing rate at that point may be full high fire or slightly less, depending upon the relationship of the boiler size to the load.

When the modulating control is set and the burner is in full high fire, the scale setting of the on a steam boiler will indicate the low point of the modulating range. The scale setting of the control on a hot water boiler will have a reading that indicates the midpoint of the modulating range.

The operating limit control should now be adjusted and the differential established. In an installation that does not require a very close control of steam pressure or water temperature the adjustable differential (Figure 6-4 A to B) should be set as wide as conditions permit, since a wide setting will provide less frequent burner cycling.

The high limit control provides a safety factor to shut the burner off in the event the The setting of the control should be sufficiently above the operating limit control to avoid nuisance shutdowns. The setting, however, must be within the limits of the safety valve settings and should not exceed 90% of the valve setting. The control requires manual resetting after it shuts off the burner.

In the setting of the controls, consideration must be given to the time required for a burner restart. Each start, requires a prepurge period, plus the fixed time required for proving the pilot and main flame. In addition, approximately one-half minute is required for the damper motor to travel from low to high fire. The time lag may allow pressure or temperature to drop below desirable limits.

Set the “cut-out” (burner-off) pressure on the main scale using the large adjusting screw. Set the differential on the short scale by turning the small adjusting screw until the indicator points to the desired difference between cut-out and cut-in pressures.

Turn the adjusting screw until the indicator is opposite the low point of the desired modulating range. Modulated firing will range between the low point and a higher point equal to the modulating range of the particular control. In 0-15 psi controls the range is 1/2 psi.

Set “cut-out” (burner off) pressure on the main scale using the adjusting screw. The control will break a circuit when pressure reaches this point. The setting should be sufficiently above the operating limit pressure control to avoid shutdowns, and preferably not exceed 90% of safety valve setting.

DANGER

To prevent burner shutdown at other than low-fire setting adjust modulating tempera ture control to modulate low fire BEFORE operating limit temperature control shuts off burner. Failure to follow these instruc tions could result in damage to the equipment.

Air pressure against the diaphragm actuates the switch which, when made, completes a circuit to prove the presence of combustion air. Since the pressure of the combustion air is at its minimum value when the damper is full closed, the switch should be adjusted under that situation. It should be set slightly below the minimum pressure, but not too close to that point to cause nuisance shutdowns.

The run/test switch on the program relay should be set to TEST. Turn the burner switch on. The blower will start (provided that all limit circuits are completed) and the programmer will remain in the low-fire (damper closed) portion of the prepurge.

Slowly turn down the air switch adjusting screw until it breaks the circuit. Here the programmer will lock out and must be manually reset before it can be restarted. Add a half turn or so to the adjusting screw to remake its circuit.

N. GAS PILOT FLAME ADJUSTMENT

The size of the gas pilot flame is regulated by adjusting the gas flow through the pilot gas regulator. The flame must be sufficient to ignite the main flame and to be seen by the flame detector. But an extremely large flame is not required. An overly rich flame can cause sooting or carbon buildup on the igniting electrode. Too small a flame can cause ignition problems.

Adjustment Procedures Chapter 6

Although it is possible to visibly adjust the size of the pilot flame, it is preferable to obtain a microamp or voltage reading of the flame signal.

The correct voltage or microamp readings can be found in the information supplied with the flame safeguard system.

The program relay used may be of the type that provides message information that includes a constant flame signal of dc voltage. In this case a separate dc voltmeter is not required.

O. GAS PRESSURE AND FLOW

INFORMATION

Because of variables in both the properties of gas and the supply system, it will be necessary to regulate the pressure of the gas to a level that produces a steady, dependable flame that yields highest combustion efficiency at rated performance yet prevents overfiring. Once the optimum pressure has been established, it should be recorded and periodic checks made to verify that the regulator is holding the pressure at this level. Occasional modification in fuel composition or pressure by the supplier may, at times, require readjustment to return the burner to peak efficiency.

Pressure

The gas supplied must provide not only the quantity of gas demanded by the unit, but must also be at a pressure high enough to overcome the pressure-loss due to the frictional resistance imposed by the burner system and the control valves.

The pressure required at the entrance to the burner gas train for rated boiler output is termed “inlet pressure.” The gas pressure regulator must be adjusted to achieve the pressure to assure full input.

The inlet pressure requirement varies with boiler size, and types of gas train. Refer to Table 6-3 for pressure requirements.

The pressures listed are based on 1000 Btu/cu-ft natural gas at elevations up to 700 feet above sea level.

The volume of gas flow is measured in terms of cubic feet and is determined by a meter reading. The gas flow rate required for maximum boiler output depends on the heating value (Btu/cu-ft) of the gas supplied (Table 6-1).

Pressure Correction

The flow rate outlined in Section P is based on a “base” pressure, which is usually atmospheric or 14.7 psia.

Meters generally measure gas in cubic feet at “line” or supply pressure. The pressure at which each cubic foot is measured and the correction factor for the pressure must be known in order to convert the quantity indicated by the meter into the quantity which would be measured at “base” pressure.

To express the volume obtained from an actual meter reading into cubic feet at base pressure, it is necessary to multiply the meter index reading by the proper pressure factor obtained from Table 6-2

As An Example:

Assume that a 500Flextube boiler is rated for 5MMBtu/hr input is installed and equipped with a standard gas train; and that 1,000 Btu natural gas is available with an incoming gas pressure of 3 psig. The flow requirements can be determined as follows:

Flow

Since the gas flow rate is based on standard conditions of flow, correction must be made for the supply pressure through the meter of 3 psig. Determine the flow rate by dividing the Btu content of the gas into the burner input (Table 6-1) and “correct” this answer by applying the correction factor for 3 psig (Table 6-2).

Btu/hr Input = CFH (Cubic feet/hour) Required Btu/cu-ft

5,000,000 = 5,000 CFH (At 14.7 Ib-atmospheric base 1,000 pressure)

THEN

5,000 = 4237 CFH

1.18

This is the CFH (at line pressure) that must pass through the meter so that the equivalent full input requirement of 5,000 CFH (at base pressure) will be delivered.

Checking Gas Flow

Your gas supplier can generally furnish a gas meter flow chart from which gas flow can be determined. After a short observation period, the information aids in adjusting the regulator to increase or decrease flow as required to obtain the rating.

Final adjustment of the gas fuel is carried out by means of Fine tuning the linkage adjustments, while performing a combustion efficiency analysis. See Section O for details.

Note: The information given in this section is for all practical purposes sufficient to set and adjust controls for gas input. Your gas supplier can, if necessary, furnish exact correction factors that take into consideration Btu content, exact base pressure, specific gravity, temperature, etc., of the gas used.

P. GAS FUEL COMBUSTION

750-177 6-7

Chapter 6 Adjustment Procedures

ADJUSTMENT

After operating for a sufficient period of time to assure a warm boiler, adjustments should be made to obtain efficient combustion.

Burner efficiency is measured by the amount or percentage of

present in the flue gas. O2 readings determine the total

amount or excess air in the combustion process, above the point of stoichiometric combustion or perfect combustion. Stoichiometric combustion is a term used to describe a condition when there is the exact amount, molecule for molecule, of air for the fuel attempting to be burned. This can be accomplished under laboratory conditions, however it’s not practical to attempt to meet this condition in a boiler. Stoichiometric combustion however, is the reference point used when setting fuel/air ratios in a boiler.

There must always be excess air in the combustion process to account for changes in boiler room temperature and atmospheric conditions, and to ensure the combustion is on the proper side of the combustion curve.

Proper setting of the air/fuel ratios at all rates of firing must be established by the use of a combustion or flue gas analyzer. The appearance or color of the gas flame is not an indication of its efficiency, because an efficient gas flame will vary from transparent blue to translucent yellow.

Most flue gas analyzers in use today measure the content, by percentage of oxygen (O by percent or parts per million (ppm). Carbon dioxide (CO is not normally measured with todays flue gas analyzers, but may be displayed via a calculation.

The O2 levels through the entire firing range of the burner, low fire to high fire should be tested. Cleaver-Brooks recommendations on turndown should also be followed and the turndown range of the burner should not be exceeded.

It’s important to understand what the readings shown on an instrument refer to when setting combustion in a boiler. To assist with this understanding Figure 6-7 shows the relationship between O of combustion for a typical flue gas analysis (natural gas).

One of the products of combustion is CO2 (Carbon Dioxide). This is shown in percentage.

Another product of combustion is CO (carbon monoxide) and is shown in both percentage and parts per million (ppm). The maximum CO level standardly allowed is less than 400 ppm. However, this may change subject to local regulations.

The percent O2 recorded on an instrument equates to percent excess air, I.E. 3% O 4% O

is approximately 20% excess air. The exact percentage

Using information from Section O of Chapter 6, determine the standard conditions of gas pressure and flow for the size boiler and the gas train on it. Calculate the actual pressure and flow through the use of correction factors that compensate for incoming gas pressure and altitude.

Basically, gas adjustments are made with a gas pressure regulator, which controls the pressure and with the butterfly gas valve (Figure 6-9) which directly controls the rate of flow.

The low fire setting should be regarded as tentative until the proper gas pressure for high fire operation is established.

To reach the high fire rate, turn the manual flame control switch toward “OPEN” in minor increments while monitoring combustion for overly rich or lean conditions.

At high fire, the gas butterfly valve should be open as wide as indicated by the slot on the end of the shaft.

Determine the actual gas flow from a meter reading. (See Section O of Chapter 6.) With the butterfly valve open and with regulated gas pressure set at the calculated pressure, the actual flow rate should be close to the required input. If corrections are necessary, increase or decrease the gas pressure by adjusting the gas pressure regulator, following the manufacturer's directions for regulator adjustment.

When proper gas flow is obtained, take a flue gas reading.

If the fuel input is correct, but the O2 values do not fall within this range, the air damper settings may need to be adjusted.

)

Adjustment of the air damper linkage is described in Section B of Chapter 6.

With the high-fire air/fuel ratio established, the gas pressure regulator needs no further adjusting.

After being certain that the air control damper and its linkage are correctly adjusted to provide the proper amount of secondary air, and after adjusting the gas pressure regulator, final adjustment can be made, if necessary obtain a constant air/fuel ratio throughout the entire firing range.

Input of combustion air is ordinarily fixed at any given point in the modulating cycle, the flue gas reading is determined by varying the input of gas fuel at that setting. Standard Burner Low Fire Adjustment

The fuel input should be adjusted using the linkage to approximately 33% of that at high fire. At low fire the O gas reading should be between 3-5%.

If the air damper needs to be adjusted in order to provide the correct low fire air/fuel ratio, combustion must be rechecked at higher firing rates and adjusted as required.

It is generally recommended that O2 readings of between 3% to 5% be attained with less than 400 ppm CO, at high fire.

Adjust the scale setting to slightly below the normal burning pressure. The control circuit will be broken when pressure falls below this point. Since gas line distribution pressure may decrease under some conditions, shutdowns may result if the setting is too close to normal.

S. FUEL OIL PRESSURE AND

TEMPERATURE - GENERAL

Variations in burning characteristics of the fuel oil may occasionally require adjustments to assure highest combustion efficiency. The handling and burning characteristics may vary from one delivery of oil to another. Therefore, it is recommended that the oil system be inspected from time to time to verify that pressures and viscosity are at the proper operating levels.

Because of variation in oils, including chemical content, source, blends, and viscosity characteristics, the temperatures and pressures listed in Chapter 5, and mentioned in the adjusting of the controls in the following paragraphs, will vary and thus may be regarded as tentative and to be changed to provide best firing conditions. Review of the applicable maintenance instructions given in Chapter 8 will aid in maintaining an efficient fuel system.

After operating for a sufficient period of time to assure a warm boiler, adjustments should be made to obtain efficient combustion.

Burner efficiency is measured by the amount or percentage of

U. LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH

The L.O.P.S. prevents burner ignition, or stops its operation, when the oil pressure is below the setpoint. Adjust the control by turning the screw on top of control case to an indicated pressure 10 psi below the established primary oil pressure setting indicated on the oil supply pressure gauge. The switch will remain in a closed position as long as the oil pressure exceeds this setting. The control normally used automatically resets when pressure is restored after a drop.

Figure 6-9: Butterfly Gas Valve

There must always be excess air in the combustion process to account for changes in boiler room conditions and to ensure the combustion is on the proper side of the combustion curve (See Figure 6-7).

Proper setting of the air/fuel ratios at all rates of firing must be established by the use of a combustion gas analyzer. Efficient combustion cannot be solely judged by flame condition or color, although they may be used in making approximate settings. Combustion settings should be done so that there is a bright sharp flame with no visible haze.

Most flue gas analyzers in use today measure the content, by percentage, of oxygen (O Carbon dioxide (CO

) is not normally measured with modern

gas analyzers, but may be displayed as a calculation.

It is required to set the burner to operate with a reasonable amount of excess air to compensate for minor variations in the pressure, temperature, or burning properties of oil. Fifteen to 20% excess air is considered reasonable. This would result in an O

reading of 3% to 4%, at high fire.

Final adjustment to fuel input must be made to produce a minimum of smoke. A maximum smoke spot density of a No. 2 for light oil, as measured in conformance to ASTMD 215663T.

Through the use of the manual flame control, slowly bring the unit to high fire by stages while monitoring combustion for overly rich or lean conditions. At the high fire position, the air damper should be fully opened and the air and oil pressure readings should be on the order of the readings given in Chapter 5.

possibly eliminate overlooking an obvious condition, often one that is relatively simple to correct.

If an obvious condition is not apparent, check the continuity of the circuits with a voltmeter or test lamp. Each circuit can be checked and the fault isolated and corrected. Most circuitry checking can be done between appropriate terminals on the terminal boards in the control cabinet or the entrance box. Refer to the schematic wiring diagram for terminal identification.

Chapter 7 assumes that the unit has been properly installed and adjusted, and that it has been running for some time. It is further assumed that the operator has become thoroughly familiar with both burner and manual by this time. The points under each heading are set down briefly as possible causes, suggestions or clues to simplify locating the source of trouble. Methods of correcting the trouble, once it has been identified, may be found elsewhere in this manual.

If the burner will not start or operate properly, the trouble shooting chapter should be referred to for assistance in pinpointing problems that may not be readily apparent.

The program relay has the capability to self-diagnose and to display a code or message that indicates the failure condition. Refer to the control bulletin for specifics and suggested remedies.

Familiarity with the programmer and other controls in the system may be obtained by studying the contents of this manual. Knowledge of the system and its controls will make trouble shooting much easier. Costly down-time or delays can be prevented by systematic checks of actual operation against the normal sequence to determine the stage at which performance deviates from normal.

A. GENERAL

A well-planned maintenance program will help to avoid unnecessary downtime or costly repairs, promote safety, and aid boiler inspectors in performing required periodic inspections. An inspection schedule with a listing of procedures should be established. It is recommended that a boiler room log or record be maintained. Recording of daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly maintenance activities provides a valuable guide and aids in obtaining safe, economical and lengthy service from your Cleaver-Brooks equipment. It is important to realize that the frequency of inspection will depend on variable conditions such as load, fuel, system requirements, boiler environment, etc.

WARNING

DANGER

Shut off electrical power to the boiler when performing any service or maintenance work or work that requires removal of covers or component parts. Failure to heed this warning could result in electrical shock, serious personal injury or death.

Good housekeeping practices help maintain a professional appearing boiler room. Only trained and authorized personnel should be permitted to operate, adjust, or repair the boiler and related equipment. The boiler room should be kept free of all material and equipment not necessary to the operation of the boiler or heating system.

Even though the boiler has electrical and mechanical devices that make it automatic or semiautomatic in operation, the devices require systematic and periodic maintenance. Any “automatic” feature does not relieve the operator from responsibility. Automatic features do free the operator of

certain repetitive chores, thus providing more time to devote to upkeep and maintenance.

Alertness in recognizing an unusual noise, improper gauge reading, leaks, etc., can make the operator aware of a developing malfunction, permitting prompt corrective action that may prevent extensive repairs or unexpected downtime. Any leaks - fuel, water, steam combustion gases - should be investigated and repaired with all due consideration of the necessary safety precautions.

Preventive maintenance measures such as regularly checking the tightness of connections, locknuts, setscrews, packing glands, etc., should be included in regular maintenance activities.

WARNING

DANGER

Inspection and maintenance should be performed only by trained personnel who are familiar with the equipment. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.

B. PERIODIC INSPECTION

Insurance regulations or local codes may require a periodic inspection of the pressure vessel by an authorized inspector. Inspections are usually scheduled for periods of normal boiler downtime such as during an off season. The major inspection can often be used to accomplish maintenance, replacement, or repair tasks that cannot easily be done at other times. This also serves as a good basis for establishing a schedule for annual, monthly, or other periodic maintenance programs.

While the inspection pertains primarily to the waterside and fireside surfaces of the pressure vessel, it provides the

750-177 8-1

Chapter 8 Inspection and Maintenance

operator with an excellent opportunity to perform a detailed check of all components of the boiler, including piping, valves, pumps, gaskets, refractory, etc. Complete cleaning, spot painting or repainting, and the replacement of expendable items, should be planned for and taken care of during this time. If possible, any major repairs or replacements that may be required should be taken care of during the boiler shutdown.

Replacement spare parts, if not on hand, should be ordered well in advance of a shutdown.

Note: Cleaver-Brooks genuine parts should be used to ensure proper operation and to avoid damage to the equipment.

Cleaver-Brooks boilers are designed, engineered and built to give long life and excellent service. Good operating practices and consistent maintenance and care will promote efficiency and economy of operation and contribute to many years of reliable performance from the equipment.

Cleaver-Brooks offers a Planned Maintenance Program that covers many of the items included on this chapter. For more information on the Planned Maintenance Program, contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative.

C. FIRESIDE CLEANING

Soot and other noncombustible deposits are effective insulators and, if allowed to accumulate on boiler heat exchanger surfaces, will reduce heat transfer to the water and increase fuel consumption. Soot and other deposits can absorb moisture and may attract moisture in the form of corrosive acids that will deteriorate fireside metal.

Inspection and cleanout should be performed at frequent intervals, depending upon the boiler's load, type and quality of fuel, internal boiler temperature, and combustion efficiency. Stack temperature can be used as a guide to determine cleanout intervals, since an accumulation of soot deposits will raise the stack temperature.

Access to the furnace for tube and refractory cleaning is provided through a hinged burner door at the front of the boiler. When opening the burner door, first shut off the electrical and fuel supplies and then disconnect all fuel lines at the burner watching to see that there is no interference with field installed piping, wiring, or other obstructions. A temporary platform must be placed inside the furnace in order to protect the bottom drum insulating refractory when working inside the furnace.

WARNING

DANGER

To avoid the hazard of electrical shock, which could cause serious personal injury or death, the use of a low voltage flashlight Is recommended when working Inside the boiler furnace area.

Tubes should be brushed with a wire brush to remove any soot or other accumulations. Refractory surfaces should be cleaned, if necessary, with a soft bristle brush. Loose material should be vacuumed from the bottom of the furnace.

D. UPPER PASS CLEANING

Upper pass access is gained through removal of the inner and outer side casing. To remove the outer casing panels, first disconnect and remove any electrical conduit, boxes and brackets attached to the side outer casing. Match mark the outer panels for repositioning. Remove screw (if installed) from frame above each outer panel. Starting with center panel, slide panel up, swing bottom of panel away from boiler and then slide down from the upper frame and set panel aside. After the center panel(s) are removed, the end panels can be slid (approximately 1") towards the center until they free from the corner frame and then removed in the same manner as the center panel(s). It there are only two outer panels (Models 150 through 350), then slide one end panel further into the corner frame to allow the other panel to slide free from the corner frame. If obstructions are present, such as the gas train, there may not be enough room to slide the panel out from under the upper frame. In this case, unscrew the upper frame from the roof and side frames and remove it also.

Match mark all inner casing panels for repositioning later. Inner casing panels must be removed in sequence starting from either end. Remove nuts, washers and clamp angles from the end and bottom of panels. Remove nuts, washers and bolt bars from vertical seams. Loosen nuts on top clamp angles but don't remove until panel is ready to be removed. Inner casing panels can not be removed by pulling panel straight out from boiler because of a 1" gasket retaining strip that overlaps behind the panels. Remove inner casing panels by sliding or angling panel away from remaining panels until the 1" retaining strip has cleared panel and then panel can be removed and set aside.

After removing the inner side casing, the pass cover plates (2nd pass only) must be removed. The cover plates are screwed together and are held in place by tabs inserted between the tubes. Remove the insulation by starting at one end and carefully rolling it up. The insulation blocks can now be removed from the pass opening. Keep the insulation blocks in order once they have been removed so they can be re-installed in the same position. Insulation is removed from the 4th pass in the same manner.

Now that the 2nd (left side) and 4th (right side) pass openings are exposed, cleaning can be done in the same way as the furnace area. Since the 3rd pass is only open on the ends, cleaning is done by pushing a wire brush mounted on a long handle, through from each end. Since the arc of movement is restricted, cleaning the 3rd pass must be done from both sides of the boiler. The fifth pass is cleaned from above the tubes. As in the furnace, loose material should be removed by vacuuming after brushing. The pressure vessel should be inspected for any signs of deterioration after cleaning.

8-2 750-177

Inspection and Maintenance Chapter 8

The flue outlet and stack should also be inspected annually and cleaned as necessary. Commercial firms are available to perform this work. The stack should also be inspected for damage and repaired as required.

Once everything has been cleaned and inspected the boiler can be put back together. Install insulation blocks in the 2nd and 4th pass openings in their previous positions. Spray adhesive on tubes above and below pass opening and install blanket insulation over opening. Install cover plates on 2nd pass (left) side only. If any insulation was removed from under the tubes at bottom of boiler it should be replaced at this time.

Prior to installing the inner casing, inspect studs on boiler and bolt bars for any thread damage. Any damaged threads should be cleaned and chased with a 3/8"-16 die. Apply a small amount of Cleaver-Brooks "Never-Seez" (p.n. 7971814 or 797-1816) on each stud.

Before the inner casing can be installed, the old gaskets must be removed from the panels and around the perimeter of the boiler and replaced with new ones. After removing the gaskets, the surfaces should be cleaned to allow the new gasket to seal properly. The gasket around the perimeter of the boiler should be one piece with the ends overlapping side by side somewhere along the upper (roof) surface. A small amount of silicone will be required to fill gaps and valleys where the gasket crosses. This includes the roof to end wall seams and the base angle to end wall gaps. It is important that the entire gap between the end wall and the base angle be completely sealed. The seal along the base of the end wall should also be checked and resealed if necessary. The gasket should be positioned to the inside of the studs with a 1/4" gap between the studs and the gasket.

Install gasket on side casing panels so it extends past the top and bottom by 1/4" or more and 1/16" to 1/8" out the back at the top and bottom of the panel. (See Figure 8-1). Starting from one end, set panel edge 1/8" to 1/4" from the studs on the end wall. Install the first lower clamp angle over the respective studs, install washers and start nuts. Any nuts that are difficult to install should be replaced. Place the upper clamp angle over the top studs and install washers and nuts but don't tighten. The end clamp can now be installed and nuts on the end clamp can be snugged up but not completely tightened. Before installing the next panel, apply a small amount of teflon paste to the area where the vertical gasket and the horizontal gaskets will overlap at the top and bottom. This will help ensure an air tight seal. Install the next panel in line being careful to slide the 1" gasket retaining strip behind the panel but under the insulation. Install the bottom and top clamp angles to hold panel in place, but don't tighten. Install the bolt strips, washers and nuts which clamp the panels together. Pull panels together evenly and tighten nuts to 250 to 300 in-lbs. Repeat until all panels are installed and securely bolted together. Now panels can be evenly pulled toward boiler with clamp angles. Tighten all nuts to 250 to 300 in-lbs.

The outer casing panels can now be installed starting with the end panels. Slide each end panel under the upper frame and push the bottom section into the boiler and allowing it to slide down to catch the bottom clamp angle. Then slide the end panels under the corner frames and install any remaining center panels.

The fireside should be thoroughly cleaned prior to any extended layup of the boiler. Depending upon circumstances, a protective coating may be required. See Chapter 3, Section H "Preparation for Extended Layup".

E. CONTROLS

Relief Valves

The relief valve is a very important safety device and deserves attention accordingly. Proper removal, installation or handling of a relief valve is of primary importance. Exercise care when removing, installing or handling a relief valve to ensure proper operation, long service life, and to ensure that the valve functions as designed.

WARNING

DANGER

Improper removal, handling or installation of a relief valve may adversely affect the valve's operation, resulting in serious personal injury or death.

Observe the following precautions when removing, handling or installing relief valves.

• Use only flat jawed wrenches on the flats of the valve

• Do not use a pipe threaded into the outlet to turn a valve

• Apply only a moderate amount of pipe compound to male threads

• Avoid over tightening, which can distort valve seating surfaces

• Do not paint, oil or otherwise cover any interior or working parts of the valve. A relief valve does not require any lubrication or protective coating to work properly.

• Discharge piping must be properly arranged and supported so that its weight does not bear on the relief valve.

• Handle with care a valve that has been removed from the boiler. A dropped valve should be considered as damaged until it has been inspected and passed by the valve manufacturer's authorized representative.

accordance with Section IV of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.

Low Water Controls (Hot Water)

Most instances of major boiler damage result from operating with low water. Since low water cutoff devices are set by the original manufacturer, no attempt should be made to adjust these controls in order to alter the point of low water cutoff. If a low water cutoff should become erratic in operation, immediately replace it or contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative for assistance.

It is essential to verify proper operation of low water cutoff devices as frequently as possible. However, it is impractical to perform daily and monthly maintenance on some models of the low water cutoff devices on a hot water boiler. Hot water systems are fully closed. Daily or monthly maintenance on some models of the low water cutoff devices would involve draining the entire water content of the system and would require makeup and additional feedwater treatment that might not otherwise be necessary.

To verify the proper operation of float style low water cutoff devices, the system must be drained. Remove the operating mechanism from the bowl and check and clean the float ball, internal moving parts, and the bowl housing. Also, check the cross-connecting piping to make certain that it is clean and free of obstruction.

It is impractical to blowdown the low water cutoff devices on a hot water boiler, since the entire water content of the system would become involved. Many hot water systems are fully closed and any loss of water will require makeup and additional feedwater treatment that might not otherwise be necessary. Since the boiler and system arrangement usually make it impractical to perform daily and monthly maintenance of the low water cutoff devices, it is essential to remove the operating mechanism from the bowl annually or more frequently, if possible, to check and clean float bowl, internal moving parts, and the bowl housing. Also check the cross- connecting piping to make certain that it is clean and free of obstruction.

WARNING

DANGER

Only properly certified personnel such as the relief valve manufacturer's representative should adjust or repair the boiler relief valves. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.

Relief valves should be operated only often enough to assure that they are in good working order. Follow the recommendations of your boiler inspector regarding valve inspection and testing. The frequency and method of testing should be based on the recommendation of your boiler inspector and/or the valve manufacturer, and should be in

8-4 750-177

WARNING

DANGER

Safe operation of your boiler demands periodic inspection and maintenance of all low water cutoff devices. If controls do not shut off the burner when the water level drops below the safe operating level, or if controls appear in poor physical condition, or become erratic in operation, they must be repaired or replaced at once. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.

If test-n-check valves are installed on the float style low water cutoff devices, these controls can be tested by opening the blow down valve. The test-n-check valves restrict water flow

Inspection and Maintenance Chapter 8

when the blow down valve is open allowing water to drain from the control. The test-n-check valves permit testing of the control without draining the entire system therefore allowing regularly scheduled verification of float style low water cutoff.

Low Water Controls (Steam Boilers)

The need to periodically check water level controls and the waterside of the pressure vessel cannot be overemphasized. Most instances of major boiler damage are the result of operating with low water or the use of untreated (or incorrectly treated) water.

Always be sure of the boiler water level. The water column should be blown down routinely. Check samples of boiler water and condensate in accordance with procedures recommended by your water consultant. Refer to sections E and I in Chapter 3 for blowdown instructions and internal inspection procedures.

A typical water level control is mounted in the water column and has float actuated mercury switches. One switch is connected to the burner limit circuit and will stop the burner if a low water condition occurs. The other switch is connected to the feedwater circuit to energize a water pump or feeder valve to maintain water at the proper operating level.

If a control does not break the circuit to stop the burner at the proper point then shut down the burner immediately. Failure to do so may result in damage to the equipment.

Do not restart until all cross-connecting piping is checked for obstructions. Also check the float bowl. If these are clean, repair or replace the control. Repeat the above test to ensure proper operation prior to returning the boiler to service.

On a steam boiler, the head mechanism of the low water cutoff device(s) should be removed from the bowl at least once a month to check and clean the float ball, the internal moving parts, and the bowl or water column.

Remove the pipe plugs from the tees or crosses and make certain the cross- connecting piping is clean and free of obstructions. Controls must be mounted in a plumb position for proper performance. Determine that piping is vertically aligned after shipment and installation and throughout the life of the equipment.

A scheduled blowdown of the water controls on a steam boiler should be maintained.

CAUTION

DANGER

Usually, the control is of the automatic reset type and will remake the limit circuit when the water level is restored. Some applications require that a control be equipped with a manual reset mechanism that must be manually reset before the burner can be restarted. This is usually accomplished with the use of a second or auxiliary control that has this feature.

Since low water cutoff devices are generally set by the original manufacturer, no attempt should be made to adjust these controls to alter the point of low water cutoff or point of pump cut-in or cut-out. If a low water device should become erratic in operation or if its setting changes from previous established levels, check for reasons and correct: Repair or replace as required.

These controls normally function for long periods of time, which may lead to laxity in testing on the assumption that normal operation will continue indefinitely.

The controls' operation may be checked by stopping the water supply to the boiler while the burner is operating at low fire. While under constant attendance, allow the water level to drop at a normal rate. Check for proper operation of the feedwater controller and the low water cutoffs.

Water Gauge Glass

A broken or discolored glass must be replaced at once. Periodic replacement should be a part of the maintenance program. Always use new gaskets when replacing a glass. Use a proper size rubber packing. Do not use “loose packing,” which could be forced below the glass and possibly plug the valve opening.

Close the valves when replacing the glass. Slip a packing nut, a packing washer, and packing ring onto each end of the glass. Insert one end of the glass into the upper gauge valve body far enough to allow the lower end to be dropped into the lower body. Slide the packing nuts onto each valve and tighten.

If the glass is replaced while the boiler is in service, open the blowdown and slowly bring the glass to operating temperature by cracking the gauge valves slightly. After glass is warmed up, close the blowdown valve and open the gauge valves completely.

Check trycocks and gauge cocks for freedom of operation and clean as required.

It is imperative that the gauge cocks are mounted in exact alignment. If they are not, the glass will be strained and may fail prematurely.

750-177 8-5

A blowdown cock is provided on the lower gauge glass fitting and a daily blowdown is recommended.

Chapter 8 Inspection and Maintenance

Electrical Controls

The operating controls should be inspected monthly. Examine the tightness of electrical connections and keep the controls clean. Remove any dust that accumulates on the interior of the controls using low pressure air that is free of moisture and oil. Take care not to damage the mechanism.

Examine any mercury tube switches for damage or cracks. Dark scum over the normally bright surface of the mercury indicates a damaged tube that may lead to erratic switching action. Make certain that controls are correctly leveled. Covers should remain on controls and panels at all times. Dust and dirt can cause excessive wear or overheating of the motor stator and the relay contacts, and affect operation of other controls. The power supply to the boiler must be protected with dual element fuses (fusetrons) or circuit breakers. Similar fuses should be used in branch circuits. Standard one-shot fuses are not recommended.

Flame Safeguard Control

This control requires minimal maintenance because the safety and logic sections are integral and inaccessible, with no accessible contacts. Regularly check to see that the retaining screws holding the chassis to the mounting base are secure, and that the amplifier and the program module are securely inserted.

It is recommended that a spare control be kept on hand and service be rotated between the active and the spare control (programmer).

Note: NOTE: Be sure that the connecting contacts on the control and the base are not bent out of position.

WARNING

DANGER

When replacing a control, be sure to lock out the main power supply, since the control is “hot” even though the burner switch is off. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.

Refer to the burner manual for information regarding tests of the flame safeguard system. Contact your local CleaverBrooks authorized representative for assistance, if required.

Checking Loss of Flame

With the burner in normal operation at the low fire rate, shut off the main burner fuel valve to interrupt the fuel supply and extinguish the main flame.

The relay must signal the loss of flame, resulting in the fuel valve(s) being deenergized. The control will lock out on a safety shutdown. The flame failure light (and optional alarm) will be activated. The blower motor will stop.

Turn the burner switch off. Reset the safety switch. Reestablish the main fuel supply.

F. OIL BURNER MAINTENANCE

Refer to the burner manual for specific information regarding operation and maintenance of the burner.

Oil strainers should be serviced frequently in order to maintain a free and full flow of fuel to the burner. Installation of a vacuum gauge in the burner supply line between the burner oil pump and the strainer is strongly recommended. Regular observation and recording of the gauge indication will assist in determining when the strainer needs servicing.

Strainer Servicing

The fuel oil strainer element must be removed and cleaned or replaced at regular intervals, or when a rising trend in the burner supply pump suction indicates blockage. When servicing the strainer, fuel supply and return line valves should be shut off. The strainer should be drained of oil and any sediment collected at the bottom of the canister. Remove the cover and withdraw the strainer element. Replaceable elements should be disposed of properly. Reusable elements may be cleaned by immersing them in solvent until attached deposits have been loosened, and then shaking them dry.

WARNING

DANGER

Your spare control should be wrapped in plastic and stored in a dry atmosphere. During an extended shutdown (for example, a seasonal shutdown), the active control should be removed and stored in a dry atmosphere. Moisture can cause problems with control operation.

The flame detector lens should be cleaned as often as operating conditions demand. Use a soft cloth moistened with detergent to clean the lens.

A safety check procedure should be established to test the complete flame safeguard system at least once a month. Tests should verify safety shutdown and a safety lockout upon failure to ignite the main flame and upon loss of flame. Each of these conditions should be checked on a scheduled basis.

8-6 750-177

Use only safety type solvents such as Cleaver-Brooks “Safety Solvent” for cleaning strainers or other components. Work only in a well ventilated area. Do not use gasoline or other flammable liquids as a solvent. Do not dry the strainer elements with compressed air. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal Injury or death.

Reassemble the strainer, taking care to seal the canister properly to avoid air infiltration and resulting loss of suction. Open the fuel supply and the return line valves.

Inspection and Maintenance Chapter 8

G. GAS BURNER MAINTENANCE

Refer to the burner sections for specific information regarding operation and maintenance of the burner. The motorized gas valve requires little maintenance, as the operating mechanism is immersed in oil and completely sealed. However, proper operation should be checked on a routine basis.

Keep the outer parts of the valve(s) clean, especially the stem between the operator and the valve. A nicked, scored, or otherwise damaged valve stem can cause leakage. Do not remove dust covers if installed.

The stem packing gland is the O-ring type. If oil is noticed around the operator base, or if leakage occurs, the valve must be repaired. If the actuator is sluggish or fails to operate, and the oil level is known to be correct, the operator portion should be replaced.

Solenoid Valves

Foreign matter between the valve seat and the seat disc will cause leakage. Valves are readily disassembled; however, care must be taken to see that internal parts are not damaged during removal and that reassembly is in the proper order.

A low hum or buzzing will normally be audible when the solenoid coil is energized. If the valve emits a loud buzzing or a chattering noise, check for proper voltage. If voltage is correct, clean the plunger assembly and interior plunger tube thoroughly. Do not use any oil. Make sure that the plunger tube and solenoid are tight when assembled. Take care not to nick, dent, or damage the plunger tube.

Solenoid coils can be replaced without removing the valve from the line.

WARNING

DANGER

Be sure to disconnect the main power supply to the boiler in order to prevent the possibility of electrical shock, which could result in serious personal injury or death.

Check the coil position and make sure that any insulating washers or retaining springs are reinstalled in the proper order.

H. REFRACTORY

The boiler is shipped with completely installed refractory. High temperature refractory lines the burner door and floor of the boiler. Front and rear walls, side casing panels, the roof section, the bottom drum and the drum vent are protected with high temperature insulation. Preventive maintenance through periodic inspection will keep the operator aware of

the condition of the refractory and insulation and will guard against unexpected downtime for repairs.

I. CASING SEALS

The most obvious indication of a problem is the appearance of discolored paint on the casing or soot and hot gases escaping at seal joints. It is important that at start-up any problems are noted and corrected before the boiler is put back into operation. The following are areas requiring inspection.

Burner Door

Inspect the area around the door and look for discolored paint or evidence of a combustion gas leakage. If a problem is noted or the door is being opened for scheduled maintenance look for warped sealing surfaces and make sure that the insulation on the front wall around the door has not pushed away from the wall. Cracks may appear in the burner door refractory as a result of expansion and contraction from operation. If cracks are larger than 1/8” when the refractory is cooled, the cracks should be filled with a high temperature bonding air-dry mortar such as Cleaver- Brooks “Corline.”

WARNING

DANGER

Disconnect main power to the boiler and the pilot fuel supply to the burner before the burner door is opened. Electrical power and fuel supply must remain shut off at all times when the burner door is open. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal Injury or death.

Access to the boiler furnace area is gained through the burner door opening at the front of the boiler. Whenever the burner is opened, the gasket and gasket surfaces of the burner door should be inspected. A good seal between the burner door and the boiler is necessary to prevent leakage of combustion gases and loss of efficiency. Combustion gas leaks can cause hot spots with subsequent damage to the burner door and surrounding refractory. Damaged or hardened gaskets must be replaced before the burner is put back in operation.

If a new gasket is necessary, remove the old gasket and clean the gasket surface on the wall and burner door. A spray adhesive is used to hold the rope gasket in place around the burner opening. A high temperature silicone may be needed to seal under the rope gasket at the wall seams. The rope gasket should wrap around the opening at least two times.

Before the burner door is closed, inspect studs and clean threads if necessary with 1/2"-13 die. Apply a small amount of Cleaver-Brooks "Never-Seez" (p.n. 797-1814 or 797-

1816) to the studs. Any nuts that are difficult to thread on studs should be replaced. Door fasteners should be run in and tightened evenly to avoid distorting the door or damaging the

750-177 8-7

Chapter 8 Inspection and Maintenance

gasket. Start tightening at the top and proceed around the door, alternately tightening opposite fasteners until all are snug. After the boiler is back in operation, check for gas leaks around the door opening, and retighten the fasteners as required to provide a gas-tight seal.

Drum Seals

Inspect the areas around the drum seals and look for soot or hot gas leaks. If a problem is noted look for the source of the leak. Remove the old insulation and sealant from around the drum. Using a pumpable insulation material (p.n. 872-680), fill the void flush with the outside of the wall. Allow the area to set up and apply a thick bead of high temperature silicone around the drum and install the cover plates.

Notes:

Sight Port

Inspect the area around the sight port for paint discoloration. A hot spot around the rear sight port is caused by either a poor seal between the sight port insulator and the wall, a cracked insulator or a flue gas leak at the sight port cap.

Check the threads of the cap and sight tube. If necessary, clean the threads and/or replace the cap. If the screws that hold the sight glass retainer in place are leaking tighten the screws or replace the cap.
