SECTION 4 INITIAL START-UP
SECTION 4. INITIAL START-UP

4.1 Initial Start-Up Requirements

The following are the prerequisites for the initial start-up of the CFR boiler:
•
Complete the installation, per the CFR Boiler Install-Startup Manual (OMM-0163) including gas
supply piping, vent installation and condensate drain piping. Starting a unit without the proper
piping, venting, or electrical systems can be dangerous and may void the product warranty.
•
Set proper controls and limits (see Section 4 in the Edge Controller Manual, OMM-0139).
Initial start-up consists of the following:
•
Removing the protective bag from the air filter(s)
•
Combustion calibration (refer to 4.3 )
•
Test safety devices (Section 5: Safety Device Testing)
Start-up must be successfully completed before putting the unit into service. The start-up instructions
below should be followed precisely in order to operate the unit safely and at high thermal efficiency and
low flue gas emissions.
Initial unit start-up must be performed by AERCO factory trained personnel, who are trained in the start-
up and service of CFR boilers.
An AERCO Gas Fired Startup Sheet, included with each CFR unit, must be completed for each unit for
warranty validation and a copy must be returned promptly to AERCO via e-mail at:
STARTUP@AERCO.COM.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRY FIRE THE UNIT. Starting the unit without a full water level can damage the
unit and may result in injury to personnel and/or property damage. This situation will void any warranty.
REMOVE THE AIR FILTER BAG BEFORE STARTING THE UNIT.
NOTE: AERCO recommends that the Standby Blower Voltage parameter be kept at 2.00 volts (the default set at
the factory) to prevent flue gas recirculation.
To check, go to the Controller's
Control and verify that the Standby Blower Voltage parameter is set to 2.00 V.
However, individually vented units in positive pressure boiler rooms may set Standby Blower Voltage between
2.00 and 0 volts to compensate.
