Boiler Inspection And Initial Firing Oil - FULTON J Series Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

2.14.1
BOILER INSPECTION AND INITIAL FIRING
1. Ensure the boiler has been washed out after installation. It is advisble to conduct a water
analysis before operating the boiler.
Examine the probes in the water column and the boiler shell.
Replace any damaged probes.
2. Remove the burner and check that the electrodes have not been damaged. If the burner is
fitted with a flame detector, remove the detector and check for damage.
3. Check that the burner is the correct type for use in a dual fuel boiler. Replace the burner and
reconnect the copper oil lines to the oil nozzle assembly and gas connection, ensure these
connections are tight. Reconnect the ignition leads and replace the flame detector.
4. Ensure that the gas supply isolation valve is closed.
5. Check the rotation of the oil pump motor. Ensure that the oil supply flow and return valves
are open. Bleed the oil pump.
6. Ensure that all wiring connections are correct and that all terminal screws are tight.
7. A barometric type draught stabiliser, if fitted in the flue, should be set for a draught of - 0.01
in. to 0.02in. (0.025 mb to 0.05 mb) of water column pressure with the burner off.
8. Check that the visual flame signal display on the burner controller (5 LED bar) is fully
illuminated during pilot and main flame.
9. Open all the valves in the feedwater line. Switch on the feedwater pump motor and fill the
boiler, see Section 3 - Operation. The operation of the pump controls should be checked by
using the boiler blowdown valve (located at the rear of the boiler). When the water level sight
gauge is reading half full, the pump will stop. Open the boiler blowdown valve and slowly
drain the boiler. When the water level falls below the PUMP ON probe, the pump should
start. If the pump does not start, check the probe connections. Close the boiler blowdown
valve.
10. Start the burner as detailed in Section 3 - Operation. Allow time for the fuel pump to prime
itself.
11. After the burner has been firing for approximately five minutes, adjust the main air control
gate to obtain a clean combustion.
