Page 12: Steam Piping
Fulton Boiler FBS Series Cleaning A STEAM PIPING Steam and water piping systems connected to the boiler may contain oil, grease, or foreign matter. The impurities must be removed in order to prevent damage to pressure vessel heating surfaces. On a steam system, the condensate should be wasted until tests show the elimination of undesirable impurities. - Page 13 Fulton Boiler FBS Series Boil-out of New Unit The internal surfaces of a newly installed boiler may have oil, grease or other protective coatings used in manufacturing. Such coatings must be removed because they lower the heat transfer rate and could cause over-heating of a tube. Before boiling out procedures may begin, the burner should be ready for firing.

Burner Fulton boiler FB-S model can mounted with gas burner, oil burner or dual fuel burner on customer’s requests. OIL BURNER The fuel for the oil burner is from No.2 to No.6 oil. -
Page 17: Gas Burner
Fulton Boiler FBS Series controls the combustion air entering the burner on the requirement of the boiler heating during operating. The standard servomotor of the oil burner is Landis & Staefa STM6 with 5 cam motor. A fully closed position is provided to prevent air flowing through the appliance when the burner is not in operation. - Page 18 Fulton Boiler FBS Series 4) Valve Proving System. A valve proving system, as show schematically below, is standard on the boilers from FB-S3-1.0 to FB-S6-1.25 model. When the boiler operating sequence is initiated, the burner control box energizes the proving system, which then carries out the following checks.

Page 21: Practical Considerations
Fulton Boiler FBS Series NOTE Before leaving the boiler unattended, the daily operating tests should be carried out to check the functions of all the safety interlocks. For more detailed information on the burner firing sequence consult the burner manufacture’s Operation and Maintenance instructions. - Page 22 Fulton Boiler FBS Series 3. DAILY OPERATING TESTS CAUTION If any of the following tests fail to function as described, shut down the boiler immediately and consult the factory. With the burner firing, carry out the following tests: NOTE Ensure the correct water level is maintained during pressure build up. If any part of the equipment is not operating correctly, the fault should be investigated before the boiler is used.
- Page 23 Fulton Boiler FBS Series To reduce the possible down time and loss of pressure to steam, load the tests detailed can be accomplished by isolating the feed pump using the pump ON/OFF switch on the boiler control panel. Allowing the water level to fall by evaporating steam to the system.

(l) Feed pump is primed and not air locked. (m) Front door proof of closure microswitch is closed. Before contacting the Fulton Service Department, have the following information available: (a) The model and size of the boiler. (b) The boiler serial No. - Page 25 Fulton Boiler FBS Series NOTE A very common problem is that when a boiler cools down, the steam in the steam space condenses and gradually forms a vacuum. If the feedwater line is open, the boiler will draw in water in an attempt to equalize the pressure. The appearance in the water level gauges is the same if they are empty or fully flooded.
