OPERATION
Pressurisation values should be included in the range given in the table of technical specifications.
WARNING
The differential temperature between boiler flow and return must not exceed 15°C in order to prevent thermal shock to
the boiler structures. The temperature of the return water must be above 55°C in order to protect the boiler from corrosion
due to condensation of the flue gases on cold surfaces; for this purpose it is useful to install a 3 or 4-way mixing valve.
The guarantee does not cover damages caused by condensate.
A recirculation pump (anticondensate pump) must be installed to mix the cold returns. This pump should have a minimum
flow rate equal to approximately 5 m
3
/h or equal to 1/3 of the heating system pump flow rate.
It is necessary to keep the burner switch always switched on in order to maintain water temperature equal approximately
to the value set through the thermostat.
If the flue gas seal is poor in the front part of the boiler (manhole and burner plate) or the back part (smokebox),
the closing tie rods of the individual parts must be adjusted; if this is not sufficient, the seals must be replaced.
CLEANING AND SERVICING
Close fuel supply and disconnect the electrical mains before starting any cleaning and servicing operations.
As economic running depends on cleaning of the exchange surfaces and regulation of the burner, the following operations should
be performed:
- Clean the tube bundle and turbolators with the appropriate tube-brush every month for heavy oil-fired boilers, every three mon-
ths for gas oil-fired boilers and once a year for gas-fired boilers. Cleaning schedule depends on plant features.
Quick cleaning can be performed by opening the front manhole only, taking the turnolators out and cleaning the tubes with a
tube-brush. For more thorough cleaning, the rsmokebox must be removed to eliminated carbon deposits from the rear side.
- Have the burner calibration checked by professionally qualified personnel;
- Have the water circulating in the system analysed and provide for adequate treatment to avoid the formation of scale which
initially reduces the efficiency of the boiler and in the long term will permanently damage it, making it unserviceable;
- Check that the refractory castings in contact with the flue gases are in perfect condition and if not, replace them;
- Periodically check the efficiency of the system regulation and safety instruments.
CAUTION
•
Do not open the manhole and do not remove the smokebox while the burner is working. Always wait few minutes after
the burned has been switched off until the insulating parts are cooler.
