GENERAL

The installation of a J Series Dual Fuel Fired Steam Boiler should be carried out by competent
personnel in accordance with all relevant safety regulations. It is the responsibility of the installer
to ensure that these regulations are complied with.
The requirements and instructions contained in this section are for boilers being installed to operate
on Natural Gas or 35 sec. Fuel Oil.
2.2

SITING

(Reference should be made to Utilisation Procedures as stated in IGE/UP/10 Part 1 Communication
1676, and in particular to Section 5, Location of Appliances).
The boiler house should be sufficiently sized to allow easy and safe access to all parts of the boiler
for operational and maintenance purposes.
Reference should be made to Section 5 - General Data to ascertain the relevant dimensions and
weights, special note should be taken of the required vertical clearance required for maintenance.
Maintenance on the burner assembly requires the area directly above
and to one side of the boiler must not be obstructed with pipework or
equipment which would interfere with the removal of the complete burner
unit. Care should be taken on installation of the boiler to ensure this
The flooring must be level, laid in a non-combustible material and be of sufficient strength to support
the boiler.
2.3

VENTILATION

Adequate fresh, clean air is necessary for safe and efficient combustion, and should be provided at
high and low level in accordance with BS 6644 1991 and IGE/UP/10 Part 1 Communication 1676.
Note:
a) Ensure that there is adequate ventilation in the boiler room. Lack of ventilation will create a high
temperature and cause control lockout. There is a minimum ventilation requirement to supply the air for
combustion.
b) Do not keep exhaust fans running with windows, doors and vents closed, this will interfere with the
necessary boiler draught.
c) Do not store chemicals such as perclorethylene in the boiler house, the fumes may damage the boiler and
flue and cause the burner to lock out on flame failure.
Note: see Section 5 for low and high level values.
