This safety configuration may seem confusing to the inspector who encounters the MIURA Steam Boiler in the field for the first time, particularly because a water column typically suggests a fixed water level. This is not true for our steam boilers, however, because of the low water content and the fierce boiling action of the steam gradient.
Page 12
A full inspection is typically completed within 30 minutes. All MIURA steam boilers are annotated as a forced flow steam generator (with no fixed steam or water level) on the pressure vessel’s P-3 form and registered with the National Board. The complete packaged steam boiler is listed as a standard with UL and c-UL, and it can be tuned to meet FM and/or ASME-CSD1 requirements at the customer’s request.
For more information on how the various rules affect boiler selection and operation, you may want to contact your local MIURA authorized representative or the engineering firm designing your boiler installation. Here are some essential...
National Regulatory Organizations In order to obtain assistance in the identification of, and compliance with, codes and regulations, we recommend contacting your actual insurance provider as well as the utility companies. A partial list of agencies having jurisdiction over boiler installation and operation is given below. This list is comprehensive, but by no means all-inclusive.

Filter Pull the filter forward together with the filter retainer. (4piece If the filter is damaged or extremely dirty, it must be replaced. In such a case, please contact MIURA maintenance personnel. Return the filter to its original position. WARNING Do not operate the boiler without the air filter installed.
9.5.7 Cleaning the Feed-water Strainer WARNING Water in the feed-water tank for the boiler connecting to a deaerator or hot water tank is extremely hot. For this reason, you should wait until the boiler’s water supply lines have sufficiently cooled down (at least two hours after boiler shutdown) before performing this work.
Page 68
If rust cannot easily be removed from gaps or significant deformation has occurred, the filter must be replaced. In such a case, please contact a MIURA sales office or your local dealer. Filter Brush Return the filter to its original position inside the feed water strainer.
9.5.8 Cleaning the Feed-water Tank WARNING Water in supply lines for boilers connecting to a deaerator or hot water tank is extremely hot. For this reason, you should wait until the tank water has sufficiently cooled down (at least two hours after boiler shutdown) before performing this work.
The safety valve’s release pressure has been adjusted to match the indicated value. Despite the fact that a small amount of deviation may occur, you must not tamper with the pressure setting. If you suspect leakage or some other abnormality, please contact a MIURA sales office or your local dealer.
Miura boilers have the function though, the hardness checking by Colormetry and manual water sampling still have to be done by all Miura customers. (Since there are several scaling patterns depending on the firing ratio, or water quality, scale monitor doesn’t always detect the thickest scale. It doesn’t guarantee the scale protection for all cases of scaling.)
