Rima Heating Systems S.MAX Series, Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

Periodic Controls :

For efficient use, preventing the possible failures and optimum life of the boiler periodic controls are important.It is
recommended that periodical controls for the boiler must be made by once in every three months.These periodical
controls are made by authorized technicians by applying following processes.

Burning control (with eye).

Working and safety controls of hydraulic system and the boiler.

Boilers combustion chamber and smoke channels check and cleaning if needed.

Leakage controls of water input - water output of the boiler and flue connections.

Valves check

Pumps check

Yearly Controls :

Yearly controls of the boiler must be made by authorized technicians before the season starts. Flue and flue lines must be
cleaned before calling technicians for yearly controls. In yearly controls authorized technicians apply the following
processes.

Water filter test. Cleaning if needed.

Expansion tank controls, cleaning if needed.

Situation of the insulations and the sections and isolation rope controls.

Working pressure test for burning adjustment with the flue gas measurement system if needed.

Leakproof of the connections of the boiler test.

Valves test for proper opening and closing.

Boiler burning room and possible soot layers on smoke channels are checks and cleanings.

When  the  boiler is  used, soot  and fine ash  accumulates on the boiler walls, mainly on heat  exchanger ribs

and in the  flue neck, which  reduces  heat  transfer  and the boiler output. The actual quantity of soot and fine

ash will  depend on  the quality  of the  fuel used and on the boiler operating conditions.

If the  boiler  is oversized or  was for some reason run at low temperatures, more soot is generated. This may

also  result in inadequate chimney thrust.

The  boiler  must  be  cleaned regularly,  at  least once a month,  which is done with a steel brush through  an

open boiler door.

p

All boiler walls inside the combustion  chamber  and  combustion  gases routes  should be cleaned.

If a  larger quantity of  tar has  accumulated  on  internal  walls  of  the combustion chamber,  it  must  be

removed  with a   scraper or  burnt  with  hard  wood ( or coke ),  running   the boiler at maximum operating

temperature.

Please note   

Ashes  should be stored ( by using  proper glove )  in a noncombustible  container  properly and  transported

outdoors. Other waste must not be stored in this container.
