2.15 PLUMBING

(a) Fit the check valve supplied, between the feedwater pump and the boiler feed water stop valve.
(b) Ensure that the boiler is washed out after installation and before it is put into service.
(c) Conduct a feedwater analysis before operating the boiler.
2.16 COMMISSIONING THE BOILER (Fig. 7)
It is essential that the commissioning procedures listed below are carried out by a Fulton service
engineer who will have the necessary experience and testing equipment to ensure that the installation
is not only correct, but is operating safely and at optimum efficiency.
FLUE COMMISSIONING
Prior to initial firing of the boiler, the flue must be checked for leaks. This is done by BOTH of the following
methods:
Visual Inspection
Check joints between all flue sections for quality of seals. Where the flue passes through the
structure of the building use your judgement as to the integrity of this section of the flue.
Smoke Test
With the flue capped, the drain stabilizer pipe (if fitted) blanked and a smoke generator inserted
into the flue, their should be no smoke visible from the flue.
If either of these tests fail or at any time during boiler operation, there is doubt about the integrity of the flue,
shut down the boiler and contact Fulton Boiler Works Immediately.
Note: Flues that are designed to operate with positive pressure should be tested to the requirements of IGE/UP/
10 March 2001.
BOILER INSPECTION
(a) Ensure the boiler has been washed out after installation.
Conduct a water analysis before operating the boiler.
Examine the probes in the water column and the boiler shell.
Replace any damaged probes.
(b) If the burner is fitted with an ultraviolet sensor, remove the sensor and check for damage.
Remove the burner and check that the electrodes have not been damaged and that their setting
corresponds to the appropriate drawing (refer to Fig. 6).
(c) Check that the burner is the correct type for use with the gas being supplied.
