  • Page 32 To perform a long term pressure test including the boiler, ALL trapped air must fi rst be removed from the boiler. Figure 12: Recommended Piping for Combination Heating and Cooling (Refrigeration) System A loss of pressure during such a test, with no visible water leakage, is an indication that the boiler contained trapped air.
  • Page 36 A. EVALUATE THE EXISTING STEAM SYSTEM. The single most important factor in determining the expected life cycle of a steam boiler, is the amount of fresh water added to the boiler during operation. Fresh water brings minerals and oxygen into the boiler. These contaminants greatly accelerate corrosion of the cast iron boiler sections.
