    BOILER ROOM REQUIREMENTS A. Room should be well lighted and should have a source of emergency light. B. Convenient water supply available for boiler and to clean the boiler room floor. C. Unobstructed floor drains. D. Since the combustion process requires a supply of air at all times, it is essential that provisions are made to supply adequate air to the boiler room.

    Items Not Provided That Should be Considered: Pressure Reducing Valve - used to automatically maintain a desired pressure in the system, acts as a make-up water supply. Tempering Valve - allows hot water from boiler to accurately mix with returning cool water to make desired water ready to go to the application. The hot water should be at least 20 degrees warmer than the return water for smooth operation.

    Hot water boilers are subject to serious damage and failure if leaks develop in the hydronic system that requires excessive make-up water. The make-up water introduces high levels of oxygen which will lead to cor- rosion and component or system failure in a very short time. All boilers and systems should be checked for leaks on a frequent basis.
  • Page 26 • Another test which is sometimes used as a gauge of solids is to measure the chloride present in the boiler water. The ratio of chlorides in the boiler water to that of the feed water can be used as a means to determine the amount of blow down required.

    1. Turn burner power off to prevent accidental burner firing. Remove the front cleanout door(s) and open burner door. The WL-60 door will swing open simply by removing the 3 hex nuts on the handle side of the door. If burner is hard piped, disconnect pipe fittings to allow door to swing freely. The L-24 has a slightly different procedure.

    should only be used in closed circulating systems without tankless coils. Propylene glycol should be used in boilers that have tankless coils installed. • Antifreeze solutions expand more than water for a given temperature rise. Allowance must be made for this additional expansion when antifreeze solution is used in the heating system.

With screw driver, loosen the screw holding the electrode clamping plate.
  • Page 32 INSTALLATION OF CHIMNEY SYSTEM INSTALL CHIMNEY TO FLUE COLLAR OF BOILER OR HEATER 1) Select a location for your boiler observing minimum clearance to combustibles. Consider that maintenance and cleaning will be required. Allow adequate work space around burner and stack. 2) For best operation minimize distance of horizontal chimney runs.
  • Page 33 COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY 1. A minimum 2 CFM at 40 psi is needed into the B-5 single burner and 4-5 CFM @ 40 psi for the B-10 double burner. Use a hydraulic quick disconnect or put ample flex in the line to swing burner open when servicing.

  • Page 41: Start Up

    INITIAL START UP AND OPERATING SEQUENCE 1. Check secondary air settings as described in section #3 on page 41. Place the 3-position toggle switch on the Burner to “OFF.” Energize the boiler circuit with electricity. The amber and red lights on the slide gun will come on.
  • Page 42 FINE TUNING THE BURNER OBSERVE THE FLAME DAILY. ALLOWING BOILER TO OVER FIRE WILL DESTROY THE HEAT EXCHANGER AND VOID THE WARRANTY. UNDERFIRING MAY LEAD TO CONDENSA- TION AND RUST THE CHIMNEY OR BOILER. Due to variations in used oils, the air and oil pressure gauge setting are approximate. Final adjustments need to be made with your specific fuel.

    PRIMARY CONTROL FUNCTION - SAFETY LOCKOUT CAUTION: DO NOT RETRY IGNITION MANUALLY IF THE BURNER FAILS AND THE BOILER IS HOT! FORCING A REFIRE AT THIS TIME CAN PUT FUEL INTO THE HOT COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND CAUSE AN EXPLOSION HAZARD. THE CONTROL WILL AUTOMATICALLY ATTEMPT TO RESTART AFTER 45-60 SECONDS IF THE CAD CELL DETECTS A FLAME INITIALLY.
  • Page 44 CAUTION: Used oil may contain heavy metal compounds and foreign materials. When burned, the compounds are deposited in the boiler and chimney. Protective clothing, including gloves, face mask, and respirator must be worn when cleaning is done. All waste materials removed when cleaning the system should be stored in a closed noncombustible container until properly disposed.

  • Page 47 ALUMINUM PREHEAT BLOCK For a more thorough service the aluminum preheat block can be cleaned. The need to increase oil pressures to maintain a good flame is a indicator block passages may be restricted. How quickly a block becomes restricted varies with hours of use and oil quality. Block cleaning is a skilled service that inexperienced persons should not undertake.

    END OF HEATING SEASON/SUMMER STORAGE 1. Turn off power to boiler and set aquastat or thermostat to “off.” 2. Clean boiler and chimney thoroughly. See previous sections for details. 3. Spray interior of combustion chamber with light oil to protect against corrosion. 4.
