Damage to the boiler or parts of the boiler after leaving the factory is not covered. Parts replaced under this warranty must be returned to MIURA. If the failed part is not returned, the customer will be charged for the new item.
If a question about boiler installation is not contained in the text of this manual and is not answered by one of the drawings, please call the MIURA representative or the company offi ces in Chicago or Los Angeles. We will be glad to help.
However, if such damage occurs and is not discovered and noted at the time of delivery, MIURA Boiler is not responsible to pay for the cost of repairs and any damaged parts will not be under warranty.
All Feed Water Pump foundations, if used, should have four (4) 5/8” holes for 1/2” anchor bolts. See Figure 3. These pump foundations are not supplied by MIURA. Place the Feed Water Pump on a foundation equivalent to Figure 4 and tighten mounting bolts. Note that the pump should be located under or close to the feed water tank.
Again, the feed system operates in a simple On-Off manner. If control valves are used, they MUST be quick acting (within 5 seconds). MIURA Boiler recommends Ball Valves with pneumatic actuators (preferred) or electric actuators (acceptable). Note that the pneumatic actuators operate in 1 second, open to shut, and the electric actuators are 5 seconds open to shut.
3.2.4 Steam Separator Assembly EX-250/300 Only - attach steam separator to pressure vessel as shown in Figure 7. Torque bolts to 61.5 ft/lbs. 3/4” UNC x 3 1/2” L Minimum Torque; Approx 62 ft/lbs Conductivity sensor 5/8” UNC x 3” L will be removed for shipping.
3.3 BOILER POSITIONING AND ANCHORING 3.3.1 Boiler Proper Mark boiler center line and boiler foundation corners on foundation. Recommended foundation is 6” concrete slab. Re-enforcement of slab is not necessary if fl oor is solid. Details of the boiler foundation and clearance dimensions are given on BOILER ASSEMBLY OUTSIDE VIEW drawing.
MIURA Boilers do not have a manhole. All openings into the waterside of the pressure vessel are 2” standard pipe plugs. Consequently, most jurisdictions do not require a “NON RETURN VALVE” in multiple boiler installations.

Feed Water Supply Tank as high as possible in the boiler room to prevent any possibility of Feed Water Pump damage due to cavitation. Specifi cally, MIURA requests that the tank water level be at least 6 feet above the pump suction.
• Chemical feed can be made to Feed Tank and/or Feed Water Line. All MIURA Boilers are provided with a set of “DRY” contacts through terminal strip connections 30 and 34. These wires connect a Normally Open contact on the feed water pump magnetic contactor. MIURA recommends wiring the chemical injection pumps through this contact.

The MIURA Design Advantage eliminates the need for this type of system. MIURA simply turns the pump on and off as needed based on actual boiler steam demand. This allows the pump to always run at optimum effi ciency and prevents pump-overheating problems.
MIURA recommends installing a feed water suction strainer of at least 20 mesh. Install a strainer one size larger than pump suction piping. Pump fl ange kits are available from MIURA as an option. Also, install an isolation valve on the supply side of the strainer to allow cleaning the strainer without draining the feed water supply tank.
3.6.2 Piping Flushing After installation is completed but before the boiler is fi red, fl ush all water piping. MIURA is not responsible for damage as a result of stuck open check valves that result from debris in the piping.
• Install an additional check valve between the automatic blow down solenoid valve and the blow down separator. (See Figure 18.) Check valve is not included with boiler. • Blow down separator after cooler for boiler water may be supplied by MIURA Boiler at customer request. Insure local regulations for disposal of boiler wastewater are followed.
Valve, install a Strainer upstream of the Control Valve. Figure 16 Blow Down Piping Arrangement Option Valves From Bottom Blow and L.V.C. MIURA Standard Quick Operating Valve To Blow Down Separator Figure 17 Double Blow Down Isolation Valve Options 3/8” Solenoid Valve (Note: EX-250~300 have t Solenoid Valves.)
Installation of a pressure gage to monitor gas supply pressure is recommended. If the boiler is operated with propane fuel, MIURA Boiler STRONGLY recommends use of a vaporizer. Collecting the propane gas from the top of the tank is possible but not recommended due to variations in vapor space pressure depending on ambient air temperature.
Do not attempt to change any part of this gas train without fi rst consulting the nearest authorized MIURA dealer. • Do not use any gas piping with a diameter smaller than the gas inlet piping to the boiler.
Use drip leg or To exterior vent rain cap on vent line. Do not allow vent line 1” NPT to be blocked or to fi ll with rain water. Boiler operation will be Union adversely Fitting affected. Main Gas Regulator Figure 20 Main Gas Pressure Regulator Vent Piping To exterior vent.
3. Fuel pump suction pressure should not exceed 3 psig in order to comply with National Fire Protection Code. 4. Fuel pressure at pump suction must NOT be at a vacuum. Do not use the MIURA supplied oil pump to draw oil up from the tank, through the overhead, and down to the boiler.
Disconnect Amps 1. Other voltages are available by special order. 2. Specifi cations for FGR option are not covered by this table. Contact Miura for details. 3. Optional equipment such as the MIURA remote communications system or the MIURA Multiple Installation (MI) system must be wired as specifi...

Micro-Computer. The XJ1 is a microprocessor-based device designed to monitor the status of a series string of limit, control, and interlock contacts for The MIURA Boiler. The XJ1 acts as a system monitor and enhances fault and status messages of the S7800 series Burner Control. The SJ1 is included as standard equipment, and can provide detailed status on the boiler.
Please do not cover these fi ttings when insulating the exhaust stack. 10. One ½” drain plug fi tting is installed on the optional MIURA fl ue elbow, and one 2” drain plug is provided on the optional economizer.
NOTE: The relationship between a stack draft and pressure drop of fl ue gas is given in the following equation. Miura boilers require a draft of zero inches w.c. to a maximum of -0.05 inches w.c. for proper operation. Operation outside these values will seriously impact boiler performance.

It is very important not to make any adjustments without fi rst consulting you nearest authorized MIURA dealer. Daily, or every shift, water analysis should be performed to see if additional treatment is needed. Use a tester of 1ppm or less sensitivity.
4.2.2 Start-Up CAUTION: The following start-up routine must be followed in sequence (1-7). 1. Open feed water inlet valves. 2. Open the main fuel valve and check that the required gas pressure (3-5 PSIG} on gas fi ring is available. 3.
This will ensure all sludge is removed. Complete draining of the Miura boiler is not dangerous to the boiler. When the boiler is completely drained, shut the blow down valves.
Proper balance of gas and airfl ow is needed to assure complete combustion and optimum effi ciency. Contact your nearest MIURA representative or distributor to adjust the air fl ow. MIURA recommends a combustion test every three months to ensure maximum combustion effi ciency.
4.2.7 Carry Over The Miura Boiler is tested and produces steam with less than 0.25% moisture. This steam quality can be adversely affected by several factors. 1. Poor water quality can produce “carry over.” The indications are foaming, priming, and misting.
4.2.10 Water Specifi cations The chemistry values given in Table 15 are specifi c guidelines established by MIURA Boiler. Analysis is to be performed by the customer or a Boiler Water Treatment company. Failure to maintain these specifi cations will affect the Boiler Warranty.

The overheat protection thermostat setting must never be changed without written authorization from MIURA. Failure to obtain authorization will result in voiding of all warranties. Changing this tempera- ture setting may be required if the customer chooses to raise or lower the boiler operating pressure.
5.4 RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS LIST After the end of the parts warranty, it is not necessary to order replacement parts from MIURA. One of our design advantages is the use of non-proprietary parts. The electrical control components and assorted valves may be purchased from any industrial parts house.
