Page 19: Cleaning Steam Boilers
FFA-3 CLEANING STEAM BOILERS The grease used to lubricate the cutting tools during erection of new piping systems serves as a carrier for dirt, with the result that a scum of fine particles and grease accumulate on the surface of the water in all new boilers, while heavier particles may settle to the bottom of the boiler and form sludge. -
Page 20: Repair Parts
£RAL MAINTENANCE OF HEATING SYSTEM (Con't.) Clean boiler surfaces at regular intervals. If a hot water radiator is hot at the bottom- but not at the top, it indicates that air has accumulated inside and should be vented. To vent radiator; hold small cup under air vent (located near top of radiator), open vent until water escapes and then close. - Page 21 Glycol anti-freeze is sometimes added to system water to protect against freezup. Although American Standard can not recommend this practice, we realize that glycol anti-f-eeze will occasionally be used. Heat transfer through glycol is poorer than through water: use no more than 50 percent glycol in the system.
