1. Visually inspect the steam and feedwater pipework, valves and fittings for signs of leakage.
If leaks are suspected, shut the system down and evacuate the system to atmospheric
pressure before attempting to repair the leaks.
2. Blowdown the Boiler (see Section 4.3).
Note: If the boiler is being operated automatically on a time clock, the blowdown may be done once during the
working day and once at the end of the day when generating 10 psig or less, providing this is sufficient to
control the TDS level within limits.
3. Blowdown the Water Column (see Section 4.4).
4. Blowdown the Water Level Gauge (sight glass), (see Section 4.5).
4.11.2 WEEKLY
Ensure the fittings around the steam safety valve(s) are secure.
The safety valve will be very hot, do not operate the safety valve without protection.
5. Ensure that the pipe from the safety valve outlet is not damaged and that it continues to a safe
blowdown point.

Ensure the main electrical supply is isolated before starting work.
10. Visually inspect the internal water space (see Section 4.10).

replacing.
12. Visually inspect the flanged joint covering the rear inspection port in which the blowdown valve
is fitted, if any leakage is evident, the gasket needs replacing.
