3.0 Specifications Triad Boiler Systems TRIUMPH SS2 Boilers are condensing water boilers. Sizing is based on a minimum five square feet fireside heating surface per boiler horsepower (BHP) output. The boiler is mounted on a structural steel base with a forced draft burner and burner controls.
The shipped condition is only intended to protect the boiler from weather during transport, not additional long term storage. Some parts are shipped loose with the boiler. Boil out chemicals, if purchased from TRIAD are shipped separately. 4.2 Unloading the boiler-burner unit Your new boiler-burner unit has two lifting lugs located on the top of the boiler to be used for unloading.
Upon arrival, inspect the boiler and any parts shipped with the boiler. If any damage is found, notify Triad Boiler Systems, Inc. and note damage on the bill of lading and any other receiving papers. The boiler is designed to be lifted by the lifting lugs only. The use of tow motors, etc., is not acceptable and can damage the boiler.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the boiler supporting base is perfectly horizontal. The door must be at a uniform slope to provide proper drainage of the condensate to the smoke box. TRIAD Boiler Systems, Inc. West Chicago, IL www.triadboiler.com...
Any water leaks from the system will then appear as pressure drops, as shown by the system pressure gauge. NOTE: If only one return is required, always use the low temperature return. TRIAD Boiler Systems, Inc. West Chicago, IL www.triadboiler.com...
A piece of ceramic fibre insulation rope is provided with the boiler. If this is not suited to the specific burner fitted, use a rope of another diameter, of the same type of material. KEY: 1.

It is a sophisticated piece of equipment to be serviced only by qualified people. If you don't already have a qualified operator, we recommend that you contact your TRIAD representative for the name of experienced service personnel in your area. The lack of a qualified operator can invalidate the TRIAD Boiler Systems, Inc.

6.7 Boil-out procedure All new boilers must be boiled out or Triad Boiler Systems will void the warranty! Before introducing the boil-out chemicals to any drain system, check local environmental regulations to ensure you are in compliance.
Page 42
16. When the boiler is so equipped, remove water level prove holder(s), and check for contamination that may have been caused by the boiler out chemicals. Clean the water side surfaces of the probe TRIAD Boiler Systems, Inc. West Chicago, IL...
Visually check burner for proper combustion. NOTE: Remain fully aware of water temperature and flow rate or steam pressure and water level while operating the boiler at higher capacities. TRIAD Boiler Systems, Inc. West Chicago, IL www.triadboiler.com...
NOTE: Use of this hot water boiler for temporary heating of an unfinished building is not recommended by TRIAD. Use of the boiler prior to closing the building and balancing of the heating system may lead to thermal shock and leakage. Use of the boiler for temporary heat will render the warranty void against leakage.
As safety relief valves are normally piped to the floor or near a floor drain, it may take some time to determine if the valve has shut completely. 5. If the safety relief valve continues to leak, it must be replaced before the boiler is returned to operation. TRIAD Boiler Systems, Inc. West Chicago, IL www.triadboiler.com...
12. If the safety relief valve opens at a pressure below the allowable tolerance, this is not necessarily a dangerous condition but it can indicate a deteriorating condition or improper spring setting. The TRIAD Boiler Systems, Inc. West Chicago, IL...

Complete replacement mechanisms, including necessary gaskets and installation instructions are available from TRIAD. After re-assembly test as required. 7.7.3 Pushbutton Shunt A LWCO may also have a momentary push button shunt wired in the LWCO circuit that allows continuous boiler firing while blowing down the water column.
Scaling concentrates where the boiler wall temperature is higher, and the best defense against this phenomenon is a boiler design that eliminates high temperature spots. TRIAD Boiler Systems, Inc. West Chicago, IL www.triadboiler.com...
Treatment is primarily to eliminate corrosion and pitting cause by alkalinity and oxygen. It is usually necessary to treat the water in a heating boiler once a year at the beginning of the heating season. TRIAD recommends you consult a competent water consultant to determine your water treatment. The appearance of scale, corrosion or pitting is definite evidence that water treatment is needed.
7.10.2 Refractory Refractory is part of the burner mount. The refractory typically has a life of about seven (7) years. TRIAD recommends that you order one of each once you see any spauling of refractory. After ten (10) years, even if the refractory looks good, it should be replaced.
On a regular basis Triad strongly recommends looking through the special side inspection caps for any lime deposits and carrying out a chemical cleaning if required.
6. Check low fire switch, proving switch circuit mechanically and electrically. Terminal must not be powered until motor returns to low fire position. If wire is disconnected, verify that pilot does not light. Reconnect wire when finished. TRIAD Boiler Systems, Inc. West Chicago, IL www.triadboiler.com...
12. Disassemble and clean all safety control related piping – LWCO equalizers, pressure control manifolds, and air flow switch tubes. 13. Check boiler pressure gauge against calibrated master gauge or with dead weight tester. New gauges are built to one percent (1%) accuracy. TRIAD Boiler Systems, Inc. West Chicago, IL www.triadboiler.com...
3. At the time of this yearly inspection and cleaning, it is recommended that the local State or insurance inspector, in addition to the TRIAD distributor, or agent, be called in to check the condition of the equipment. Water treatment professional should also be present.
Slag should not be removed from the surface of the refractory unless it interferes with normal operation. It is very likely that chunks of refractory TRIAD Boiler Systems, Inc. West Chicago, IL...

The diagram below shows how the three phase wiring can control a fan going clockwise (cw) vs. counterclockwise (ccw). In general, incorrect fan rotation is corrected by switching the position of two wires. TRIAD Boiler Systems, Inc. West Chicago, IL www.triadboiler.com...
When a boiler is taken out of service, it should be laid-up using either the wet or dry procedure. NOTE: TRIAD does not warranty boilers out of operation that are not properly laid up for extended periods of time. If the boiler could be subject to freezing temperatures when out of service, the boiler must be laid up dry.
10.5 Re-commissioning 1. When approaching the end of your lay-up time, review the operator logs for any items that may need to be replaced. Some items can take time to procure. TRIAD Boiler Systems, Inc. West Chicago, IL www.triadboiler.com...
Page 64
2. Check that you have gaskets/seals to replace any that have been opened. This likely includes gaskets for smoke box doors, cleanout plug, inspection plugs and sight glass. Your spare parts list will be helpful in determining exactly what is needed. TRIAD or a TRIAD representative can supply you with spare parts.
