2.2 BOILERS
A. General
1. The boiler(s) shall be fired with
2. The boiler(s) shall be CSA tested and certified with a minimum thermal efficiency of 94 percent
at full fire.
3. The boiler(s) shall be ASME inspected and stamped and National Board registered for 160
PSIG maximum allowable working pressure and 210ºF maximum allowable temperature,
complete with a Manufacturer's Data Report.
4. The boiler(s) shall have a floor loading of 95 lbs./square foot or less.
B. Primary Heat Exchanger
1. The primary heat exchanger shall be of a helically wound, multi-pass
completely encircle the combustion chamber for maximum efficiency.
2. There shall be no banding material, bolts, gaskets or "O" rings in the header configuration. The
heat exchanger is removable from the cabinet for replacement without removing the entire
boiler assembly from the site. The stainless steel combustion chamber shall be designed to
have a trough located on the bottom front and back section leading to the middle to ensure
that condensation does not collect in the boiler.
3. The low water volume primary heat exchanger shall be explosion-proof on the water side and
shall carry a twenty-five-year warranty against thermal shock.
4. The flue connection, combustion air opening, gas connection, electrical connections and
condensate drain shall be located on the rear. Water connections shall be located on the left
rear top of the unit.
C. Condensate Drain
1. The boiler(s) will feature a condensate drain sensor which will shut down the boiler(s) if the
condensate drain is blocked.
D. Burners
1. The combustion chamber shall be of the sealed combustion type employing the Raypak high
temperature metal fiber burner, mounted in a horizontal orientation.
2. The burner shall be a premix design and constructed of high grade Inconel and must be
capable of firing at both a complete blue flame with maximum gas and air input as well as
firing infrared when gas and air are reduced. The burner must be capable of firing at 100% of
rated input when supplied with 4.0” WC of inlet gas pressure, so as to maintain service under
heavy demand conditions; no exceptions.
3. The burner shall use a combustion air blower to precisely control the fuel/air mixture for
maximum efficiency throughout the entire range of modulation. The combustion air blower
shall operate for a pre-purge period before burner ignition and a post-purge period after burner
operation to clear the combustion chamber.
4. The blower shall infinitely vary its output in response to a PWM signal supplied directly from
the integrated modulating control, thereby electronically and precisely adjusting the volume of
air and gas supplied for combustion. Minimum fire shall be 20 percent of rated input.
E. Pilot Control System
1. The boiler(s) shall be equipped with a 100 percent safety shutdown.
2. The ignition shall be spark ignition type with full flame rectification by the ignition source, with a
four try-for-ignition sequence, to ensure consistent operation.
3. The igniter will be located above the burner to ensure easy ignition.
