Service & Maintenance - Crown Boiler TWZ Series Installation Instructions Manual

All boiler cleaning must be completed with the burner service switch turned off. Boilers
equipped with burner swing door have a potential hazard which can cause severe property
damage, personal injury or loss of life if ignored. Before opening swing door, turn off service
switch to boiler to prevent accidental firing of burner outside the combustion chamber.
Disconnect the burner plug from the receptacle in the front jacket. Be sure to tighten the
swing door fastener completely when service is completed.
The following procedure should be performed on an annual basis:
1) Turn off electrical power and oil supply to the boiler.
2) Clean the boiler as follows:
a) Remove vent connector and piping.
b) Remove barometric draft regulator.
c) Remove top jacket panel to gain access to boiler flue collector.
d) Unscrew four wing nuts and remove canopy retaining carriage bolts, lift off the canopy and ceramic fiber sealing
strips.
e) Unplug the burner, disconnect the oil lines (if the pump is hard piped), and remove the two 5/16" bolts securing the
burner door. Open the burner swing door.
f) Thoroughly brush boiler flueways from the top and diagonally between casting pin rows. Be careful when brushing the
rear passage not to damage the rear target wall insulation.
g) Vacuum soot and debris from combustion chamber.
h) Check condition of rear target wall insulation, combustion chamber liner, and burner door insulation; replace if
required.
i) Check burner head for signs of deterioration. Clean the head of any deposits.
j) Close burner door, reinstall 5/16" bolts, reconnect fuel oil and electrical lines.
k) Installation of boiler canopy, jacket top panel barometric draft regulator and breeching piping is done in reverse order
of removal. Make sure canopy is sealed tight to the casting; replace ceramic fiber sealing strips as needed. All vent
piping joints must be flue gas leak free and secured with sheet metal screws.
•
Clean the boiler even if there are no significant soot deposits. Failure to remove all sulfur
and ash deposits annually can cause severe corrosion damage.
• When cleaning the rear flue passage, be careful not to push the brush too far beyond the
bottom of the pins. doing so may damage the target wall.
3) Inspect the vent system:
a) Make sure that the vent system is free of obstructions and soot.
b) Make sure that all vent system supports are intact.
c) Inspect joints for signs of condensate or flue gas leakage.
d) Inspect venting components for corrosion or other deterioration. Replace any defective vent system components.
4) Service the oil burner:
a) Replace oil nozzle with identical make and model (see Table 11.0).
b) Inspect the electrodes. Replace if they are deteriorated. Make sure that the electrode position is set according to the
burner manufacturer's instructions.
c) Remove and clean fuel pump strainer.
