CAUTION
Obey all laws and local regulations which affect you and
your boiler.
LOW FEEDWATER TEMPERATURE
Low feedwater temperature can result in thermal shock
to the boiler pressure vessel. Return the maximum
amount of condensate and if necessary preheat the
feedwater. If in doubt consult Fulton Ltd.
WATER SOFTENER and CHEMICAL TREATMENT
The chemicals required to operate the water softeners
and chemical treatment plants CAN BE SUPPLIED by
Fulton Ltd.
It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure adequate
supplies of chemical are available at all times
(including commissioning). Costly repairs could be
required should the plant operate without chemicals or
the wrong dosage of chemicals.
HYDRAULIC TEST - RISK OF BRITTLE FRACTURE
Hydraulic testing requires specialist equipment and
is normally only required by engineering surveyors /
inspectors. In order to ensure the material/ pressure
vessel does not suffer from brittle fracture, hydraulic
testing should not be carried out below 7 °C.
