Flue Outlet
The height and type of flue will be subject to local specifications. Where a flue is required by multi-boiler are necessary, ensure the common section meets the requirement that all boilers can work at the same time, and special design must be obtained. a. The diameter of chimney must be not less than that of flue outlet; otherwise the increased gas resistance would affect combustion. b. Usual chimney arrangement supply -0.02~-0.04 w.c. pressure. However, the pressure should not be too much. Install regulator at the flue outlet while the pressure is too much due to construction etc. c. Avoid fitting 90o elbows and long distance horizontal runs. The total horizontal runs should not exceed 25% of the vertical rise. All horizontal runs should have a rising pitch of 15o minimum to lower resistance and prevent condensate from building up and subsequent corrosion. d. Oil-fired boiler installation is generally more critical because of the sulphur content in the fuel and the dew-point temperature. Specialist advice should be obtained on flue and insulation. e. Flue outlet should higher than all the roofs around the radius of 10m. f. Check boiler smoke outlet, flue and each joint of chimney for sealing.

Water Supply
a. Feed water contains solids and dissolved gases. High dissolved oxygen and chloride levels, low PH and high water hardness can all be major causes of corrosion and deposition. These may influence boiler life. So, water treatment is necessary. b. Fit water softener equipment while water hardness is high. c. The dissolved oxygen can cause corrosion in boiler plate and water supply system, with many pits. These little pits gradually change into larger ones and usually covered by ferric oxide. Once the corrosion sets forth, the speed will be rapid without reverse. One way to reduce the dissolved oxygen is to heat feed water to let air escape. Inject steam into the water to raise the temperature to 82oC so that the dissolved oxygen is removed from the water. It is recommended to install oxygen removing equipment. d. Feed water should be studied individually and treated accordingly by reputable professionals in this field. It is highly recommended that a water treatment specialist is consulted prior to install the boiler. e. The Fulton Warranty does not cover damage or failure that can be attributed to corrosion, scale or dirt accumulations. Oxygen is corrosive.

Water Gauge Assembly FBC steam boiler is fitted with two plate water gauge assemblies. The water gauge blow down valve is connected to the auxiliary blow down line by 1/4soft copper tubing. Water Sample Valve (Surface blow down) The standard fitting is at the right side of the boiler that makes water sample to control boiler water. Water Feed Valve/Check Valve The Water feed valve is connected to the water inlet which at middle right side of boiler. The check valve is fitted at the end of the line of water feed valve to prevent return water. Return Water Valve Installed at the top return water inlet for system hot return water using.
Electrical Requirement
The boiler wiring diagram is located on the inside of the boiler control panel. A 3-phase 5 wire supply is required; the power is 380V/50HZ/3phase. Voltage limit: high and low 10%. Caution: all electrical work should be undertaken by a qualified installer according to local regulations.
Gas Supply
Natural gas is the standard for the gas boiler. If special requirements i.e. liquid petroleum gas, town gas or others are used, consult Fulton prior to use. The gas pressure varies with different burner models and burner head. Outer pipeline should be greater one to keep enough operation gas pressure (dynamic).Verify if the gas pressure meets the requirement of the burner, install one gas booster in case of too low pressure. Any question please consults FULTON When a gas booster is used, the gas pressure at the booster inlet must not fall below 1000 mm W.C.. The booster should be installed as near as
possible to the burner. It should be positioned on a firm, flat, horizontal surface using anti-vibration mountings. All connecting pipework should be well supported and accurately positioned in order to avoid stressing the booster casting. The use of flexible connections, which reduce both pipework stresses and transmitted noise, is strongly recommended. The gas supplier should be asked to recommend the size of pipework between the meter and the booster to ensure that the required pressure and flow are available. To minmize gas pressure drops, eliminate all unnecessary elbows and bends between gas meter and head. Install one correct size gas valve as close as possible to the head. One butterfly gas stop valve with interlock switch is mounted on the dual burner. The switch should be connected to the interlock terminal inside the control panel. The gas supply pipework to the boiler must be appropriate to local conditions and must be constructed and installed in compliance with appropriate Codes and Standards, and must be undertaken by qualified professional personnel.
NOTE: It is essential that a manual isolation valve is fitted upstream of the gas control train to allow the burner to be isolated for maintenance. The size of this valve should not be less than that of the burner control train in order to avoid any restriction in gas flow. WARNING: It is essential that the installation of the gas pipework must be undertaken only by suitably qualified and experienced personnel and in compliance with appropriate Codes and Standards.
Oil Supply
Oilfired boilers are supplied with a matched automatic modulating oil burner suitable for use of light diesel oil. The oil is 0# with storage temperature not less than 5oC and heat is required for heavy oil to obtain good flow. Other fuels consult Fulton. The pipework should be seamless steel tube, zincification is not permitted. Heavy Oil supply requires heater and the oil storage tank as well. The recommended heat Temp. is as follows:
Table 2-4 recommended heat Temp. Item 1 2 3 4 5 6 Two-pipe System A two-pipe system must be used between oil storage tank and the burner. One for oil supply and one for oil return. A circulating oil pump is required to deliver fuel oil from the storage tank to the burner. Circulation pressure is 15psi while 50-70 psi is for FBC1300 models and above.
15
Oil Tank Heat Temperature 40-60 50-70 60-80 70-90 80-100 90-110
Burner Electrical Heat Temperature 50-70 60-80 70-90 80-100 90-110 100-120
An oil filter must be installed before the oil circulating pump, recommend below 2t/h more than 80 mesh/inch2 and above 2t/h more than 60 Mesh. Use flexible pipework for the final oil connections
to the oil pump (stainless steel corrugation tube). Ensure no twist generates and the sealing is good. One stop valve should be installed at the inlet and outlet of the circulating pump separately. A pressure gauge (0-60psi) is needed also to the outlet. Oil supply pipework use DN50 seamless steel tube to reduce pressure loss.
It is important to ensure that the return pipe is not obstructed or closed suddenly, install stop valve as little as possible. In case of heavy oil 4#, 5#, and 6# oil (heavy oil 80#~250#) the pipework and oil storage tank should be with heater. Fig 2-3 Two Pipe System
c. Install one overflow pipe at any opening on top of the boiler and discharge to safe place. d. Remove the safety valve to avoid oil adhering to it. e. Close all the valves connected to the system to prevent detergent entering into system. f. Pour clean water up to top end of water feed pipe. Fill the above solution into the boiler. The water temperature should be the same as ambient. g. Heat the boiler with low fire to keep boiler water boiling. The time of boil out should be no less than 5 hours with no steam pressure generating. h. At this moment, fill the boiler with a little water to bring away the impurities via overflow. j. Continue the boil out and overflow until overflow is clean and PH less than 9, then shut down the
burner. k. Let the boiler Temp. drop to below 48oc. l. Remove handholes, applying high pressure water to wash the gasket surface. m. Check the inside of PV, boil out again in case there still is dirt existing. n. Replace handholes and safety valves. Heat the water above 83oc to relieve dissolved oxygen. o. Prevent corrosion inside the boiler.
If the boiler has been already used or surely the inside is clean, the above can be done per detail. Besides, caution should be taken to prevent the impurities from the boiler system come into the boiler. In the steam boiler system, the condensate water should be abandoned if the impurities in the condensation system can not be cleaned. And ensure the makeup water quality to prevent impurities. Drain the steam return water in the first week to clean dirt in main steam pipe and condensate return tube.

Mount the RM7800 vertically on the Q7800 sub base, or mount horizontally with the knife blade terminals pointing downward. When mounted on the Q7800A, the Rm7800 must be in an electrical enclosure. 2. When mounting in an electrical enclosure, provide adequate clearance for servicing, installation and removal of the RM7800, keyboard display module, flame amplifier, flame amplifier signal voltage probes, electrical signal voltage probes, and electrical connections. a. Allow an additional two inches below the RM7800 for the flame amplifier mounting. b. Allow an optional three inch minimum to both sides of the RM7800 for electrical signal voltage probes. 3. Make sure no sub base wiring is projecting beyond the terminal blocks. Tuck in wiring against the back of the sub base so it does not interface with knife blade terminals or bifurcated contacts. Important The RM7800 must be installed with a plug-in motion rather than a hinge action. 4. Mount the RM7800 by aligning the four L-shaped corner guides and knife blade terminals with the bifurcated contacts on the wiring sub base and securely tighten the two screws without deforming the plastic.
The indicator will light while steam pressure exceeds preset and alarm sounds to notify related personnel, the burner will automatically shut down. Only after steam pressure drops to safe level, reset manually and then the burner continues to work again. p. Emergency stop push button Stop the boiler by pushing the emergency stop button while the boiler is in unpredictable trouble. q. High low water relay & pump relay These relays work together with water probes mounted in the boiler to control boiler water in normal ranges automatically. If water level is too low, burner will be shut off to sound the alarm. Water probes are mounted in two horizontally located probe bases at the top of the boiler. The standard FBC has its 2nd low water probe in left probe base. Boilers with high water alarm will sound to notify personnel to take actions to lower water level while water in boiler exceeds the preset high level. In this time, the burner will continue working. Consult Fulton if you want to shut down burner when water level reaches the high preset level.

b. Working temperature control One temperature set for this purpose: 1. When boiler is in normal combustion, water temperature will rise till the set temperature, then the temperature control provides program signal to cut off all the fuel valve and stop burner. (Two situations are listed below) 2. When boiler temperature falls to one certain data that lower than working temperature in one period of time (the interior setting may be modified), the burner would re-start, then the boiler load is controlled by high/low fire temperature transformer. The boiler is controlled to normal operation as above. When boiler does not shut down as the temperature is at the set working temperature (shows working temperature control is in failure that need repair.), and the water temperature is raised up to high limit, the temperature will provide burning program signal to cut off all the fuel valves and stop burner with alarm, and at that time, the user should check for the working temperature control as interlock explained above. c. High limit temperature interlocks control One temperature set for this purpose: When boiler water temperature is raised to set working temperature but not stop boiler yet (shows failed working temperature which need repair). When temperature is raised up to high limit, the high limit temperature will provide signal to burner program to cut off all the fuel valves and stop burner with alarm. The user should check for working pressure control and temperature sensor.(Please consult a qualified technician as quick as possible.)

The industrial Combustion D/S series oil burners are of the low pressure, air atomizing (nozzle) type. Gas burners are of the periopheral mix type. All burners feature ignition by spark-ignited gas pilot flame. With either fuel, the burner operates with full modulation. A switch permits changeover from automatic fully modulated firing to manually set firing at any desired rate between minimum and maximum. Additional safeguards assure that the burner always returns to minimum firing position for ignition. The burner is designed for automatic, unattended operation except for periodic inspection and maintenance. After selecting the proper overload

2. Motor Driven Impeller The diameter of the impeller determines available air pressure and the width determines air capacity in cubic feet per minute. Alternate motor-impeller combinations are available for 50 cycle or 60 cycle power and for firing against either moderate or high furnace pressure. At attitude up to 2000ft. above sea level, model S impellers are recommended for up to 1.5 W.C. Model p impellers are recommended for furnace pressure from 1.5-4 W.C. furnace pressure. For higher altitudes and higher furnace pressures, motor and impeller combinations are determined at the factory. 3. Stator cone The stator cone in the air housing transforms the rotating air velocity pressure to static pressure prior to air entry into the blast tube. S series 1. Damper Assembly A multi blade system regulates the combustion air volume and is positioned by a modulating motor. The dampers are normally ALMOST CLOSED in the high fire position. 2. Motor Driven Impeller The diameter of the impeller determines air capacity in cubic feet per minute. Alternate motor-impeller combinations are available for 50
cycle or 60 cycle power and for firing against either moderate or high furnace pressure. For higher altitudes and higher furnace pressure, motor and impeller combinations are determined at the factory. d. Firing Rate Controls Regardless of the fuel used, burner input is fully modulated between low fire and high fire on boiler demand. Firing rate is controlled by the potentiometer-regulated modulating motor. Combustion air control damper, oil metering valve and/or gas volume butterfly valves are through variable rate and lever linkages. The modulating motor rotates 90 degrees from low to high position. Flow rate through each component is adjusted by positioning the control rods on the levers and the angular position of levers on shafts. Lever on the modulating motor shafts actuate the high fire position proving switch. e. Firing Head Access to the firing head is provided by swinging open the impeller housing. First, disconnect the damper linkage, release the housing latch and swing the housing to open position. An internal gas pilot is standard on all burners. Pilot gas pressure is adjusted at the pilot pressure regulator.

Fig. 3-8 S Series Firing Head f. Oil System Air Atomizing mixes with fuel oil. Air/oil passes through grooves and out of the nozzle orifice in a cone of atomized oil. Proper velocity and angle of the fine spray ensures good mixing with the combustion air, providing quiet starts and excellent combustion efficiency. Nozzle Line Electric Heater (D Series) Provides heat for No.4, 5 and 6 fuel oil for cold starts and is located between the metering pump and 3-way valve. This heater should not be used as a continuous run line heater. Heater has an adjustable thermostat and a cold oil lockout switch which prevents burner from starting until proper atomizing temperature is attained. Oil Strainer Prevent foreign matter from entering the burner oil system. Atomizing Air Proving Switch Pressure actuated switch contacts close when sufficient atomizing air pressure is present. The oil valve will not open unless switch contacts are closed. Separate Compressor Module All Models (used with FBC series) have a burner mounted oil metering unit and a separate compressor module. The system functions as follows: Air Compressor Module
The burner compressed air for atomization. Atomizing air is independent of combustion air. The system is supplied with a separate compressor module for mounting near the burner. Depending on burner size and fuel, one system for model DL, DM, DLG, DMG No.2 through 5 oil with air atomization (model D42 to 145) uses an integral air compressor/oil metering unit mounted on the burner and is driven by a separate motor. 3-way Solenoid Valve Metered oil enters the common port of the 3-way solenoid valve. During shutdown, pre and post purge the valve is de-energized (N.C. port closed) and all metered fuel oil return to the storage tank. When the valve is energized, metered oil is directed to the nozzle through the N.C. port. Nozzle Assembly The nozzle assembly consists of four main parts: body, compression spring, swirler, and tip. The swirler is held against the nozzle tip by the compression spring. The nozzle body has inlet ports for air and oil lines. Metered fuel oil enters the nozzle body and flows the core of the swirler to the side parts where it meets with the atomizing air. Atomizing air enters and passes through the nozzle body to grooves in the swirler, where it
47
Air is supplied by a positive displacement rotary vane compressor. This provides a constant volume of atomizing air regardless of pressure. The compressor module includes air-oil reservoir tank, air filter and the lube oil cooling oil. Air enters the compressor through the filter. The air flows from the compressed air. T he tank air pressure forces lubricating oil from the tank to the compressor to lubricate bearings and vanes. A sight glass indicates the level of lubricating oil in the air/oil reservoir. Lubricating oil must be visible in the gauge glass at all times. Air compression heat is absorbed in part by the flow of lube oil, creating a hot oil mist. The air/oil mist is cooled by a coil assembly. Lube oil is also cooled before entering the compressor. Oil Metering S series The oil metering unit is a MAXON Synchro flow control valve. The multiple screw cam assembly provides mechanical adjusting capabilities to the fuel ratio at each valve position throughout entire capacity range. Fig 3-9 Oil Piping Assembly
D series Integral Unit Fuel oil under nominal pressure in the circulating loop, flows to the adjustable positive displacement, (volumetric) metering unit. Oil metering is accomplished by changing the piston stroke by means of an eccentric shaft and pin assembly. Fig. 3-10 Integral Oil-air System and Tank
The pistons reciprocate in a rotor assembly, turning in a hardened steel sleeve having oil inlet and discharge slots. During each revolution the pistons go through the following cycle: 1 inlet cycle: The piston is at the bottom dead center position. At this position, the cavity between the top of the piston and the outside diameter of the to fills with oil. 2 Discharge Cycle: The piston is at the top of dead center position. At this position, the oil is forced out of the discharge port to the nozzle. The piston stroke length is determined by the position of the eccentric shaft and plate. The piston adjustment plate is positioned by an adjustable eccentric shaft. The eccentric shaft is positioned by the modulator through adjustable linkage. Counterclockwise rotation of the eccentric shaft increases the piston stroke (more oil delivered to nozzle); clockwise rotation decreases the amount of oil delivered.
48
When the eccentric shaft is stationary, at any position, the stroke of the pistons remains constant delivering a constant volume of oil regardless of viscosity. Separate Unit The oil metering unit is cored with channels through the housing. Fuel oil circulates through these channels keeping the metering unit warm to prevent heavy oils from congealing when the burner is idle.
For the description of typical fuel oil piping installations, see section 2. Air enters a rotary vane compressor through an air cleaner where it is compressed to atomizing pressure. Air flows from the compressor to an air/oil tank which serves the multiple purposes of dampening air pulsation, lube oil mist recovery, lube oil and atomizing air storage. The compressor rotor is cooled and lubricated continuously by oil under pressure from the air/oil tank. Oil vapor is extracted by a mist eliminator in the upper section of the tank. Atomizing air from the upper tank section is delivered to the nozzle at a constant volume. Air pressure increases as the burner firing rate increases. Atomizing pressure may be adjusted by the needle valve located on the air-oil pump. The valve allows air to be bled from the tank to the compressor. Delivery rate of the fuel oil metering pump is controlled by the modulating motor through adjustable linkage. Gas System
Fig. 3-11 Fuel Oil metering System (Used with Separate Compressor) Operation Fuel is delivered to the positive displacement metering pump at 10 to 15 psi. Metered oil is delivered to the common port of a 3-way solenoid valve for transfer to the burner nozzle through the normally open port. During pre and post purge, metered oil is delivered to the nozzle. Heavy oil burners have a supplementary nozzle line heater between the metering pump and the 3-way valve.

Boiler Pressure Control a. The pressure of working pressure controller is set as used steam pressure. For example, the used steam pressure is 8bar, then working pressure controller set is 8bar and the limit pressure set is 9bar. Two knobs located on the top of ratio adjust pressure controller (big and little, see fig.) The big one is used for working pressure set, clockwise rotation increase the pressure and counterwise will decrease. b. The little knob is used to adjust pressure difference between start and shut down. Clockwise rotation will increase the pressure difference and counterwise decrease. For example, the difference set is 0.5bar, limit pressure controller and working pressure sets are 9bar, 8bar, and the boiler operation will change with steam pressure. While steam pressure reaches 8bar, boiler shut down, and while pressure is reduced to 7.5bar, boiler will start automatically. The limit pressure controller is the protection of working pressure controller. While working pressure controller is in trouble or damaged, it performs the second protection to shut down burner and alarm.
temperature flue gas may be covered by corrosion-free, grease etc. materials. Remove deposited carbon on insulations and close handholes, manhole, water feed and steam valves. (Note: All should be taken out while start up.) Note 1. For one FBC firetube steam boiler, furnace, firetube and shell are welded to front and rear tubesheet to construct a PV unit. Each part of boiler operates at different temperature, and the rate to working temperature varies due to different water and steam temperature in the boiler. 2. As boiler start from cold, the different expansion proportion will transfer the mechanical pressure to the weld, proper design for boiler ensures that all the pressures can be absorbed. If frequently start from cold, the life of boiler and interval between two inspections would be shorten. It is recommended to possibly slowly heating to start up the boiler and maintain pressure as possible as you can. 3. The best operation: while start from cold, gradually raise the temperature and pressure. The detail is: first heat a few minutes in low fire, then let heat freely spread in the boiler (continue 20-30 minutes); and then blow down boiler suitably to lower top water for heating bottom water. At next circulation, increase heat time and decrease spread time. 4. During actual operation, may be the above is not realism. However, if the boiler had been operated yesterday, the heat collected in the boiler will maintain the temperature at a certain level, so directly start the boiler at that time and reach working temperature/pressure. 5. At the last operation period, shut the steam valve to maintain certain pressure which ensure temperature in boiler do not change greatly during night.
Check one time every 5 years for 24 hours continuous operated boilers with the weld of shell to front and rear tubesheet, and the longitudinal seams is one time every 10 years. Warning: Do not operate safety valve without any proper protection because of high temperature in the valve and its accessory. While manually check it, the open pressure must more than 70% of the rated and pull handle more than 5 seconds.
Burner Operation
1. Boiler Check the boiler water level. Be sure all boiler valves are installed correctly and positioned properly. Set the high limit control slightly above the desired temperature. Set modulating controls at the desired temperature or pressure. 2. Burner Check the electrical power supply to the burner in accordance with the nameplate voltage on all motors and the control circuit. Check the direction or rotation of the motors. Open the housing to check the electrode setting. Check the gas pilot pressure at the pilot regulator. Normal setting: 3 to 6 W.C.(D series ); 18-20 W.C. (S series). Check control linkage for proper movement of the air volume damper and fuel metering components. This can be done by loosening the linkage at the actuator level and manipulating by hand. Check the shutter and adjust low fire setting. 3. Firing Preparations for Oil Burners Prior to initial firing, oil flow pressure and temperature should be verified. Inspect the compressor lube oil sump level. Add oil to bring the oil level to the midpoint or slightly higher in the reservoir sight glass. Make certain that the drive belts or couplings are aligned and properly adjusted. To verify air flow and pressure, momentarily flip the switch ON and immediately turn OFF. The programmer will continue through its cycle, however, without ignition or energizing the fuel

Joint Inspection
The time interval between two inspections of weld joint is determined by the start times (start from cold to W.P. is one time) after last check.
valves. Observe the air pressure gauge. With compressor running and no oil flow, the pressure should be approximately 10psi. If the burner is a dual fuel model, make certain that the main gas shut off cock is closed and the fuel selector switch set to OIL. Oil Flow D Series Light oil: open all valves in the oil suction and return line. The burner oil metering units are not capable of creating suction. Fuel oil must be supplied to the metering unit at a nominal 10 to 15psi pressure by a circulating supply pump. Heavy oil: Refer to piping diagrams for burners using heavy oil. Note the by-pass valve between the supplies and return lines. At initial system start-up or after prolonged shutdown, start the system as follows: a. A vacuum (or compound pressure-vacuum) gauge should be installed in the oil suction line, and its reading noted. This gauge indicates the tightness of the suction system. b. Open valve No. 1 in the bypass line and close valve No.2 in the supply line to the metering pump. c. Turn on the pre-heater and the circulating pump. Oil will circulate from the tank through the circulating pump and pre-heater, returning to the tank through the bypass and return lines. Observe the oil supply pressure gauge for indication that oil flows is established. If no pressure shows after a few moments, and the vacuum gauge shows little or no suction, stop the circulating pump and re-prime. Heavy oil in the storage tank (I.E. hot well) must be warm enough to permit flow. d. As the system becomes warm, the pressure required for circulation will gradually drop. When the return is warm, open No.2 valve and throttle the flow trough the back pressure valve to the tank via the return line. The pressure in this loop around the burner becomes warm, gradually close valve No.1 in the bypass line. All supply oil will then flow through the burner loop. The system pressure is regulated by the back
54
pressure valve. This should be set between 10-15psi (DL & DM models) or 12-20psi (DE models) at the burner inlet after the temperature stabilizes. Heavy oil flow and burning characteristics are dependent on oil viscosity, which in turn requires temperature regulation. A loop heater in the supply line between the circulating pump and the burner heats the oil. The loop heater should be adjusted to give the designed operating temperature. Where the burning characteristics of fuel are unknown, No.4 No. 5L No.5H No.6 80OF -125OF 115 OF -160oF 145 OF -180oF 180 OF -220oF
e. Oil-Air Tank (Lube Oil) Check the lube oil level in the air-oil tank. Inspect oil level regularly. Loss of oil will damage the compressor. Fill the tank with non detergent SAE30 oil to a level midway up the sight glass. Do not overfill the tank. For normal environment use SAE30 oil. For a 32 degree F. and below environment use SAE10 oil. Change oil every 2000 hours of operation. S series Open all valves in the oil suction and return line. The burner oil metering units are not capable of creating suction. Fuel oil must be supplied to the metering unit at a nominal 50 to 70psi pressure by a circulating supply pump. 4. Firing Preparations for Gas Burners A representative of the gas utility should turn on the gas. Determine by a test gauge upsteam of the burner regulator that sufficient pressure exists at the entrance to the gas train. The gas pressure regulator must be adjusted to the pressure required and the pressure setting recorded. On combination fuel models, set the selector switch to gas. On initial start-up it is recommended that the main gas shut-off cock remain closed until the programmer has cycled through pre-purge and pilot sequences to deter. Check for leaks and determine there is adequate
gas pressure available at the burner for operating at full capacity. Check with the local utility if necessary. Check gas pressure at the pilot and the main burner. Close the manual gas valve. 5. Electrical Interference Test Prior to putting the burner into service, conduct the following test to ascertain that the ignition spark will not cause the flame relay to pull in. a. Gas Fired Close the pilot and the main line manual gas valves. Start the burner and at time of pilot trial with just the electrical ignition system energized, the flame relay should not pull in (i.e. be energized) Upon completion of successful test, proceed with start up procedures. b.Oil Fired Disconnect the electrical power to the burner. Disconnect the electric oil safety shut-off valve. Reconnect electric power to the burner. Close the pilot line manual gas valve, if used. Start burner and at the time of pilot trial, with just the supply. Reconnect oil safety shut-off valve and turn on manual pilot gas valve. Reconnect power supply and proceed with start-up procedures. 6. Gas Pilot Flame Adjustment The gas pilot flame is regulated by adjusting the pressure setting of the pilot regulator. Normal setting is 18 to 20(S series); 3 to 6 (D series) W.C. when the pilot is burning. The flame must be sufficient to be proven by the flame detector and ignite the main flame. Although it is possible to visibly adjust the size of the pilot flame, obtain a proper DC volt or microamp reading of the flame signal. The flame safeguard amplifier has a meter jack for this purpose. At initial start-up and during planned maintenance, test the pilot flame signal, pilot turndown, and safety switch lockout. 7. Start-up Sequence Gas Burners
55
Close the main and pilot gas cocks. Make sure the ON-OFF switch is in the OFF position and the fuel selector switch on GAS. Actuate the manual reset button of the flame safeguard control to close the safety switch contacts. Set the MANUAL-AUTO switch in the MANUAL position. Set the manual potentiometer in low fire position. Open the gas pilot cock. Set the ON-OFF switch to ON. The burner will start and pre-purge. After pre-purge, the ignition transformer and the gas pilot solenoid are energized. Before proceeding, conduct electrical interference and pilot turndown tests if not previously done. On initial start-up it is recommended that the main gas shutoff cock remain closed until the programmer has cycled through prepurge and pilot sequence. Then determine that main gas valve opens. When this is confirmed, turn the burner switch OFF and let programmer finish its cycle. Check to see that gas valve has closed tightly. If ignition does not occur, turn the burner switch off and allow programmer to recycle for a new ignition trial. Turn burner on and after pilot ignition when the flame relay pulls in, the slow opening, motorized, main gas valve is energized. Slowly open the downstream manual shutoff gas cock. Main flame should ignite at this time. The gas valve and air damper continue advancing until high fire is reached. Do not repeat unsuccessful light off attempts without rechecking burner and pilot adjustment. Vent fuel vapors from the combustion chamber after each unsuccessful butterfly valve and air linkage. When low fire is adjusted, shut down burner. Restart several times to be sure the low fire setting is suitable. Readjust if necessary. Never start the burner with fuel vapor in the furnace. In case of emergency, open main power switches and close all fuel valves. After combustion adjustments are satisfactorily set, allow the heating vessel to slowly reach normal operating pressure or temperature. Turn the potentiometer switch to the high fire position. Check high fire at this point using combustion instrument.
Do not disturb established low fire adjustment. Allow the burner to return to low fire position before adjusting high or intermediate settings. High fire combustion analysis typically is 9 to 10.5 percent CO2. Oil Burners The fuel selector switch should be set to OIL. On initial start-up of a combination burner, it is recommended that oil firing be adjusted before gas firing. Gas low firing rate is set to match oil low fire rate. Be sure the ON-OFF switch is in the OFF position and the fuel selector switch is on OIL. Actuate the manual reset button of the flame safeguard control to close the safety switch contacts. Be sure the MANUAL-AUTO switch is in MANUAL position. Set manual modulating control potentiometer in LO fire position. Open the pilot gas valve. Set the ON-OFF switch to ON, The burner will start and pre-purge. After pre-purge, the ignition transformer and the gas pilot are energized. Before proceeding conduct electrical interference and pilot turndown tests if not previously done. Observe the primary atomizing air pressure gauge on the air/oil tank. The gauge reading should be approximately 10psi during pre-purge. When the pilot flame is proven, the programmer will proceed to the main flame position. Allow the burner to operation in low fire, to warm the boiler before moving to high fire. Typically, for No.2 oil, CO2 is 8 to 11 percent at low fire. Turn the manual potentiometer switch to the high fire position. Check high fire combustion at this point. Do not disturb previously established low fire adjustment. Allow the burner to return to low fire position before adjusting high or intermediate settings. The primary atomizing air pressure will increase. The programming control sequences the operation of all controls and components through the starting, ignition, firing, and shutdown cycle. The burner and control system are in staring condition when:
a. The operating and high limit control (temperature or pressure) are below their cutoff setting. b. All power supply switches are closed. c. Power is present at the control panel. Refer to the manufacturers literature on programming controls and burner wiring diagrams for detailed information. a) Begin staring sequence, with burner switch off, and with all manual valves closed. Switch main power on. (POWER ON ) light. b) When firing oil, open the manual oil valves.
c) When firing on gas, open the main manual gas valve. d) When firing on gas, manually reset the high and low gas pressure switches. e) Place the gas/oil selector switch in position for desired fuel. With all limit and operating controls calling for heat, the burner will follow the Flame Safeguard Sequence below. f) When the burner motor starts, open the gas cock. g) If firing on gas, when the main fuel lamp lights indicating pilot flame proven open the manual leak test valve.
Time (s) 0
External Operation Provided the fuel valve is proven closed the burner motor and flame safeguard timer will start. Air flow must be proven before ignition, or the flame safeguard will lockout. If the interlock circuit opens during a firing period, the burner will shut-off and the flame safeguard will lockout. Firing on gas and providing the air flow and low fire have been proven, the air flow and low wire have been proven, the pilot ignition transformer and ignition lamp are energized and the gas pilot valve opens to ignite the pilot.

Firing on oil, providing air flow and pilot has been proven, the main fuel lamp lights. When on gas or oil, the main valve opens to ignite the burner at low fire. The pilot ignition transformer is de-energized, and the main safety shut-off pilot valve closes, scanner proves main flame only. If the low/auto. switch is in the auto position, the following will occur: On gas, the butterfly valve and the burner air louver moves to low fire position. On oil, the metering pump and the burner air louver moves to low fire positions.
1) Condition must be corrected and the respective gas pressure switch manually reset before the burner will fire again on gas. 11. Normal Operation Normal operation must be with the MANUAL-AUTO switch selector at AUTO. In automatic operation, the operating cycle always proceeds sequentially through pre-purge, pilot ignition, main flame ignition, run and post purge. The length of purge and ignition trial varies according to the type of programmer used. During the run cycle, burner input is regulated to the load demand by the modulating pressure or temperature control on the boiler. The burner will continue to modulate until the operating pressure or temperature is reached. Programmer control operation should be tested when the burner is initially placed into service, when a control is replaced, and at scheduled intervals in the maintenance program. 12. Shut Down When the operating limit control setting is reached or the burner switch is turned OFF, the following sequence occurs: The fuel valves de-energized and flame will extinguish. The blower motor continues running during post-purge. At the end of the post-purge, the blower motor is de-energized. The programmer returns to its staring position and stops. Unit is ready to restart. Abnormal shutdown might result from motor overload, flame outage, low water, current or fuel supply interruption, combustion or atomizing air pressure below minimum level, tripped circuit breakers, blown fuses, or other interlock devices. Check for cause and correct before restarting burner. Safety shutdown caused by ignition or flame failure will actuate a red indicator light and energize an audible alarm (if so equipped). If the programmer has a non-recycling interlock circuit, any interruption in this circuit during the pre-purge or firing cycle will cause a safety shutdown. This type

8. Automatic Shutdown Limit or operating controls open: 100 115 Fuel valves close. Main fuel lamp goes off. Flame safeguard timer starts. Flame safeguard timer and burner motor stop. Burner is ready for start up on the next call for heat.
9. Manual Shutdown a. Turn gas/oil selector switch off. Burner shuts down in Automatic Shutdown as above. b. When burner motor stops, close all manual valves. 10. Safety Shutdown a. If any time during the operating cycle a flame failure occurs, the burner shuts down as in Automatic Shut down, with an additional post-purge, and the flame failure lamp is energized. 1) The lockout switch on the flame safeguard control must be manually reset after a waiting period of two minutes, before the burner will fire again. b. If a low water condition occurs, the burner shuts down as in Automatic Shutdown. c. If a high or low gas pressure condition occurs while firing on gas, the burner shuts down as in Automatic Shutdown.
of shutdown requires manual reset of the programming control and must be corrected before

SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE
To ensure the continuing efficiency of the boiler, regularly carry out regular routine maintenance procedure as detailed below: Caution If any fault is found during these procedures, shut down the boiler immediately and consult Fulton. Note It is essential that regular checks are made to ensure scale build-up is not taking place within the boiler. Such checks will ensure that water treatment being applied to the boiler water feed is effective. The lower handhole doors should be removed after three months and the interior of the boiler thoroughly examined. If the scale or sludge build-up is observed, a water treatment specialist should be consulted. Subsequent interior examinations should be carried out on a regular basis until satisfactory conditions are obtained. Thereafter, inspections should be carried out at six monthly intervals. the pump starts after water level drops. 3. Shut the valve if the main blow down is open to ensure pump continuous feed water to normal water level and shut down automatically. The first low water and second low water: 1. Turn the Pump MANUAL/OFF/AUTO switch in control panel to OFF position. 2. Reduce water level in boiler with blow down or vaporizing. 3. Check water in water gauge, the burner shut down while water level is dropped to low water position; and the low water alarm sounds while water keeps drop, with the second indicator lights and burner continues to shut down. 4. If the main blow down valve is opened, shut valve, turn the Pump MANUAL/OFF /AUTO switch to AUTO position to ensure pump start. Then boiler water is restored to normal; the second low water indicator will extinguish and alarm will cancel, and burner returns to operation. Check Pressure switch: 1) Start boiler 2) Shut main steam valve 3) Turn the W.P. switch to the greatest. 4) Adjust the high limit pressure switch to the value 0.5bar lower than safety valve preset. 5) Let steam rise up to actuate high limit pressure control. Check the indication on pressure gauge, it should show 0.5 bar lower than safety valve setting. If the indication is wrong, repeat the above. 6) Open main steam valve to reduce steam pressure. 7) Set the W.P. switch at desired pressure, set firing pressure switch to 0.5-1.0 bar lower than W.P. setting. 8) Shut main steam valve.
59
Regular Check
Caution: if your boiler can not pass the following test, shutdown boiler and consult Fulton. After fired the burner, carry out the following tests: Flame detector test Remove the detector from the burner joint, and shield the window, then the burner programmer should be immediately lockout (gas boiler 2-3s, oil boiler 5s.), which needs manual reset to restart. Clean the scanner before reinstall. Water pump Check 1. Reduce water level in boiler through blow down or vaporizing. 2. Check water level in water gauge, and see if
9) Change the above switch set to raise steam pressure actuating high/low pressure switch to change the burner to low fire condition, then shut down burner by the W.P. switch. Warning: Any change of the burner setting should be completed by professional personnel. High water level probe: (if installed) 1. Check if the water feed valve is fully opened.
causing a premature 2nd low water alarm. This is normal and typical of priming where a boiler tries to maintain an overload condition resulting in unstable water conditions. Hot Water Temperature It is recommended that the hot water temperature should be not less than 77. The steam exhausted with flue gas would condensate and then cause corrosion to chimney and boiler when the temperature of hot water applied by the system less than 77, which is close to the dew point. Condensate can seriously affect the boiler intermittent operation. So, control boiler hot water above 77. Note: It is recommended that the lowest water temperature of the boiler should be above 77, if the temperature lower than 77 is needed in the system, and then decrease the water temperature Quick water exchange Do not feed too much water in short time which cause stress raised in boiler pressure vessel. Note: Circulation pump should interlock with burner, that is, when the circulation pump does not work, the burner accompanied to avoid damage to equipment. Continuous water flow Maintain water flow through boiler by system pipeline at any circumstance. Check for three-tee valve and system control to ensure boiler not to be bypassed. Continuous cycle water flow through boiler would keep system temperature more steady. After the blow down and ignition, boiler operator should check the water flow prior to re-ignition.
2. Turn the Pump Manual/Off/Auto switch to Manual position. 3. Start water pump, the boiler is filled and water level will be raised. 4. While water rises to high water position, high water indicator will light, and the alarm will sound, but burner will still keep working; switch the Pump Manual/Off/Auto switch to AUTO position immediately, then pump will stop. 5. Reduce water level in boiler by way of blow down or vaporizing. 6. Boiler water level is gradually recovered to normal position, and the high water indicator will extinguish and alarm will cancel. Evaporation Test to verify low water relay 1. With the burner running, switch off the boiler feed pump and allow the water level in the boiler drops by evaporation. 2. When the water level reaches low water position, the 1st low water relay will function and the burner will stop. 3. Allow the evaporation process to continue until the 2nd low water alarm sounds and the 2nd low water indicator illuminates. 4. Switch the feed pump to the pump AUTO position. 5. The water level will be restored to normal working level, the low water indicator lamp will extinguish and the alarm will cancel. Note: Because the burner shuts down during this test, it is possible that the steam load will rapidly decrease the pressure in the boiler
60
Daily Maintenance
Ensure turn off power supply and fuel supply after shut down. Ensure boiler house is vented at any time. Always check the air inlet of burner to ensure air is vented
without any block. The regular should be carried out blow down to keep boiler and water gauge pipework clean and free from sludge and scale build-up. Boiler blow down 1. Fully open the main blow down valve for a minimum of 10 seconds after boiler pressure is decreased to 0.34MPa. 2. Shut main blow down valve.
Test boiler low water alarm and normal shut down by way of low water probe test. Test boiler high water alarm by way of high water probe test. Carry out regular routine check for the burner as the recommended code from manufacturer. Test boiler flame control by way of flame scanner test. Turn off burner power, remove UV scanner and shield. Connect the power to see if the burner would be lockout at the ignition process. Shut off power supply, replace the UV scanner. Connect power and replace.
Note As well as removing sludge from a boiler, a second and equally important function is to maintain the water quality within the required limits, with caution to the dissolved solids in water. The amount of blow down, and hence time required, is dependent on the amount of dissolved solids in the raw water supply, the percentage condensate return, water treatment chemicals added and the number of hours a day operation etc.. In order to establish the required blow down rate, consult your water treatment specialist who will recommend a water treatment program in terms of appropriate chemicals and the required blow down rate which takes these factors into account. Water Gauge Blow Down 1. Open water gauge blow down valve while the pressure in boiler is lower than 0.07MPa, and then in turn shut the bottom isolation valve and top isolation valve. 2. After blow down, ensure all the isolation valves are opened and all the blow down valves are closed.
Semi-Annually
Caution The boiler must be completely cold before carrying out any of the following procedures. 1. Ensure that the following valves are shut: The main steam valve The feed water isolation valve Fuel valve (oil/gas) 2. Ensure that the power supply to the boiler is switched off. 3. Empty the boiler. It will be necessary to allow air into the boiler before it will drain via the main blow down valve. 4. Remove the handhole and manhole doors and thoroughly inspect the internal surfaces of the boiler, paying particular attention to the junction of the tubes with the front tube plate and the tubes for signs of pitting. Any deposits should be removed and your water treatment specialist consulted. Ensure there are no accumulated deposits of sludge in the bottom of the boiler. 5. 6. Remove the front smoke door. Remove the rear smoke door.
Weekly
Check for the handholes and man hole for signs of leakage. This is particularly important when the boiler is started from new or when gaskets have been replaced. Corrective action taken as soon as a leak occurs can prevent costly repairs later. Check for signs of leaks on all valves and fittings and take the appropriate action.
7. Brush through the tubes to remove any deposits from the products of combustion. 8. Using a wiring brush, clean the internal surfaces of the furnace and the face of the front
61
tube plate. Pay attention to the tube ligaments. 9. Inspect the tube ends for any signs of splitting or burning. These are symptoms of gas returning in the tube ends as a result of poor combustion. e.g. carbon monoxide carry-over. If the tube ends exhibit these signs, consult Fulton. 10. Clean out the rear smoke box. 11. Inspect the door seal for signs of wear and replace if necessary. The first indication of a worm door seal would be evident by signs of black around the external periphery of the door. 12. Examine the internal surface of the door refractory lining for defects. Small repairs may be carried out by cutting out the defective area and replacing with new fiber. 13. Examine the end of the burner blast tube. Clean off any deposits, paying particular attention to the internal lip where deposits can cause irregular flame patterns. 14. Inspect the rear smoke box door seals for deterioration and replace if necessary. 15. Close the hinged front access door by reversing the opening procedure. 16. Re-connect the gas/oil connections. 17. Drain and flush the feed water tank, clean any fitters and the strainer in the feed line. 18. Drain and flush out the blow down separator. 19. Clean oil line, oil strainer and oil tank (oil boiler). 20. Carry out routine maintenance to the burner as following. Note Remember shut off power before any action is taken on the burner. Burner Impeller There is usually no need to clean because of self made by centrifugal designation. Gas Burner Ignition Assembly Remove the air damper linkage, turn the fixed clip upward (for DL175 below is manual rotated screw),
62
then the housing can be turned to right, pay attention the wiring in burner. The ignition assembly is at the right of the burner. Break the ignition electrode terminal to remove the air tube and carefully take the assembly out from the burner head. Oil Nozzle Assembly Remove the air damper linkage, turn the firmed clip upward (for DL175 below is manual rotated screw), then the housing can be turned to right, pay attention the wiring in burner. The nozzle assembly is in the center of the burner. Remove the air tube and oil supply tube, remove the fixed screw and carefully take the assembly out from the burner head. Airing Flame Stabilizer Use wire brush to clean after open the burner. Ignition Electrode Check and clean, check for crack in pottery and replace for crack. Flame Scanner Use clean cloth and do not contact the glass with finger or others. Pay attention to align the glass face to flame. Oil Strainer Remove rear oil pump plate to get the strainer out and use clean diesel oil or other similar solvent. Reinstall it and recover the plate. Replace at least one time every year for once strainer. The detail frequency is up to the cleanness of oil and installation. If not, always wash or replace the core. Note: Exhaust air in system after completion of above. First wash with detergent for nozzle strainer after the nozzle is separated, then wipe residual dirt with clean cloth, do not use any metallic of wood material. Motor No need for maintenance. If the bearing is wrong, replace. If the coil is bad, replace.
Control Panel In general, no need. Do not open the cover unless special situation. If necessary, ask for professional personnel or tighten the screw. Note: The purpose of regular routine check is to ensure no scale build up in boiler to show the feed water is suitably treated. The lower handhole doors should be removed after one months and the interior of the boiler thoroughly examined. If the scale or sludge build-up is observed, a water treatment specialist should be consulted. Subsequent interior examinations should be carried out on a regular basis until satisfactory conditions are obtained. Thereafter, inspections should be carried out at six monthly intervals.
Elastomeric Vulcanizates, which form the basis of TOPOG-E gaskets, undergo degradation from many sources including heat, oxygen, stress, and overdosing from certain types of water treatment. This takes the form of material oxidation, the form of material oxidation, hardening/embrittlement and cracking which may take to minimize the effects of such attacks. Water treatment and oxygen attack can be combined by ensuring that the gasket is aligned correctly so that only the extreme edges of the gasket are exposed. If a new gasket leaks after fitting this is almost certainly due to incorrect sealing or excessive tightening, but such an action will seriously reduce the life of the gasket and cause problems later. Undue stress can be avoided by tightening just sufficiently to stop any leakage when fitting cold and before firing the boiler. Fire the boiler and then gradually warm the boiler up, allowing the increasing steam pressure to take over and complete the seal. This will allow the gasket material to contact naturally and follow the topography of the mating surfaces. The securing nut can then be tightened gently by, say, a quarter of turn to ensure a snug fit and prevent the seal from being broken when the boiler is cold and under negative pressure. Gentle warming of the boiler on initial firing after maintenance will also help to ensure that the rubber curer to shape. If the rubber post-cures, the elastic memory will be destroyed and any initial over-tightening will cause the gasket to become hardened and embrittled, leading to cracks and eventual failure. Fitting Instructions Blow down the boiler completely and examine all inspection holes in the boiler. If any leakage is evident, proceed as follows. 1. Disassemble the crab and cover plate and remove the inspection hole assembly. Remove the old gasket and thoroughly clean the mating faces of the cover plate and boiler ring. 2. Place the new TOPOG-E gasket on the cover plate, ensure the gasket is the correct size and is
63
Annually
Repeat semi-annually maintenance. Pay attention to the percentage of CO2, O2, CO in the exhausted gas. It is recommended that the internal inspection interval is no more than 14 months. Weld inspection interval of 24 hours continuous operated boiler is depended on start times after last inspection (the boiler start from cold to W.P. is one time). The shell with front and rear head weld is 1 time every 5 years; and the longitudinal is 1 time every 10 years. More frequent inspection is needed for boilers always start form cold. The annual inspection is carried out by competent professional personnel with necessary instrument.
seating flat against the plate. Do not use any grease, lubricant or adhesive. If the new gasket is not seated properly before the plate is tightened, the gasket may be pinched causing a failure when the pressure builds up. 3. Position the cover plate in the boiler ring, ensuring that the plate is correctly centered. An off-center cover plate can concentrate forces on the gasket and cut it in two. The cover plate may also drag on the boiler hole ring and fail to seal as the pressure rises. Set the crab and hand tighten the securing nut sufficiently to provide a snug fit. Tighten the nuts a further quarter of a turn using a spanner. Note Ensure the gasket is aligned correctly so that only the extreme edges are exposed to water treatment or oxygen attack. If the gasket is misaligned, overtightening to seal a leak will not prevent subsequent leakage at a later date.
Fig. 5-2 Illustration shows over compressed gasket 4. Gradually warm up the boiler, allowing steam pressure to make the seal. If the gaskets leaks during pressure build up, tighten the securing nut sufficiently only to stop the leakage. It is important to keep the nuts correctly tightened thereafter, this prevents the vacuum developed by cooling on shutdown from feeding and draining the boiler. Note New gaskets fitted to inspection holes located along the bottom of the boiler are more difficult to install without leaking. Small particles of scale or sand tend to run down on the mating surfaces after cleaning but prior to assembling. This condition is likely to have occurred if excess tightening is required to stop a leak before warming the boiler. In this event, the best course of action is to drain the boiler and repeat the gasket fitting procedure. Failure to do so will severely reduce the life of the gasket. 5. Clean and check water gauge glass. Replace gasket for leakage.
Burner Maintenance
Warning Any cover plates, enclosures, or guards anchored to the burner, or any burner related equipment, must remain in position at all times. Only during maintenance and service shutdown can these cover plates, enclosures, or guards be allowed to be removed. They must be replaced, and securely anchored before testing, adjusting, or running the burner related equipment. It is important that you provide support for the housing when in the operation to prevent damage to the hinges and subsequent components. 1. General A maintenance program avoids unnecessary down time, costly repairs, and promotes safety. It is recommended that a record be maintained of daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly maintenance activities.
64
Electrical and mechanical devices require systematic and periodic inspection and maintenance. Any automatic features do not relieve the operator from responsibility, but rather free from certain respective chores, providing time for upkeep and maintenance. Unusual noise, improper gauge reading, leak, sign of overheating, etc. can indicate a developing malfunction, requiring corrective action. D Series Impeller and Stator Cone Proper clearance between the impeller and the inlet housing and between the impeller and stator cone is not critical and is set at 1/8 nominal. When installing or removing the impeller, it is mandatory to use an impact wrench. Under No circumstances should you use anything other than an impact wrench. Inserting a bar through the impeller blade and using it as a lever will only damage the blade and also void the 5 year impeller warranty. If the impeller is changed to a different width, the stator cone position may require adjustment. This is provided for by means of slotted mounting holes in the blast tube. Loosen the three screws to reposition the cone. If a wide impeller is used to replace a narrower one, it may be necessary to trim the vanes for additional clearance. Firing Head Inspection Disconnect the damper linkage, release the impeller housing latch and swing the housing open for access to the firing head. Inspect the flame scanner lens to be sure it is clean and the support tube is in proper position to sight the flame through the hole in the diffuser. Inspect the lead wire to the ignition. It must be firmly attached and should be clean and free of cracks. The oil nozzle should be inspected periodically depending on the grade of oil burned and the cleanliness of the environment. Pilot and Ignition Electrode The ignition transformer requires little attention other than making sure the ignition wire is firmly attached to the transformer and the electrode. Be sure the wire insulation is in good condition and not grounded. Failure to keep the ignition electrode clean and properly set can cause faulty operation.
65
No adjustment is required except proper positioning of the electrode wire. Flame Scanner The scanner must be clean. Even a small amount of contamination will reduce the flame signal. Wipe the scanner lens with a clean soft cloth.
Fig 5-4 UV Scanner Oil Nozzle Successful burner operation requires use of the proper style nozzle tip and keeping the orifice clean. Standard nozzle tips furnished on the burners are of a special emulsifying type which insures proper mixing with the air steam. Unsatisfactory performance and loss of efficiency can result from the use of nonstandard nozzle tips. If the burner flame becomes stringy or lazy, it is possible that the spring is not properly in place or the nozzle is clogged. This problem is usually indicated by an abnormally high reading on the atomizing air pressure gauge on the air-oil tank. To remove the nozzle, disconnect the oil and air tubes to the nozzle tip and swirler. To clean the nozzle,
unscrew the tip from the nozzle body. Use care not to distort the tube. Hold the nozzle body in a vise or use two wrenches, one on the body and one on the tip. Disassemble the nozzle tip. Carefully clean all parts in solvent and reassemble the nozzle. To insure proper atomizing, the tip must be screwed in tightly with the swirler seating spring pressing the swirler tight against the nozzle tip. Turn the swirler a few times to be sure it fits snugly in the nozzle and the spring is pressing the two parts firmly together. When reinstalling, be sure the nozzle is centered with the proper distance from the diffuser. Caution Do not attempt to use wire or a sharp metal tool to clean the nozzle orifice as this will distort the fine orifice and ruin the nozzle. Use a sharp pointed piece of soft wood. Diffuser The diffuser is factory set and does not require attention under normal operating conditions. If fouled with carbon, the diffuser should be removed for cleaning. First remove the electrode and scanner leads, the gas pilot assembly, air and oil tubes and the diffuser. Mark the diffuser relative position to the blast tube, with a scribed or pencil line where the three mounting screws are located, to insure that the diffuser is placed back in the same position. Remove the three screws holding the diffuser to the blast tube and slowly pull the diffuser along the blast tube towards the firing head. Keep the diffuser as parallel as possible. If it should became stuck or tight, do not apply any tool which would distort the shape or blade configuration. A small wooden block tapped gently against the diffusers outer edge will help expedite its removal. Clean all carbon from the diffuser vanes and reinstall in reverse order of disassembly aligning the diffuser with the scribed marks. Do not attempt to drive the diffuser back along the blast tube with anything other than a small block of wood tapped against the diffusers outer edge. When reinstalling, be sure the diffuser is centered. Firing Rate Controls Check all rods and linkages. Make sure all connections are tight. Adjust if necessary. Readjust the burner if necessary.
66
Note It is essential that the cam spring, cam follower arm at the pivot be greased sparingly every month to ensure smooth operation of the cam assembly. Regular automotive bearing grease should be used. Burner Mounting Inspection The seal between the burner flange and furnace front plate must not permit combustion gases to escape. Periodic inspection is important. Refer to the installation: the area between the outside circumference of the dry oven and existing refractory should be packed with Kaiser refractory MonoT-9 Airset or equal within two hours after coating the dry oven with Trowleze. Fuel Oil System Fuel Oil Circulating Pump Failure of the circulating pump to deliver sufficient oil may be due to one of the following reasons: 1. Insufficient fuel oil in the storage tank. 2. Suction line or check valve clogged. 3. Air leaks or air traps in the suction line. If the line has a high point at which an air trap can occur, the line must be changed. 4. Oil strainer clogged(line strainer or burner strainer) 5. Suction line piping too small. 6. Three phase pump motor operating on single phase of fuse failure. 7. Pump rotating in wrong direction. 8. Low voltage applied to pump motor. D Series Air-oil Metering Pump Both the integral air-oil metering pump for light oil and the heavy oil metering pump are precisely fitted units employing a seal on the shaft to prevent oil leakage. Internal wear can take pace due to dirt in the oil and may in time result in excessive clearances, reducing pump capacity. Once adjusted, the pump will continue to operate with a minimum of readjustment. If burner failure appears to be caused by the metering pump, check the following: 1. See that the oil is at sufficient level in both fuel oil tank and air-oil tank on burner.
2. Make sure all valves between the fuel oil tank are open. 3. Be sure the oil suction line is not air bound and check the suction line strainer. 4. Check the low fire setting of the metering pump to be sure it has not been disturbed. 5. Make sure the pump turns freely. 6. Inspect the burner oil nozzle for clogging. Whenever an oil metering pump fails to deliver full capacity or pressure , order a replacement pump at once and return the old pump for repair or exchange(where allowed). Primary Air Compressor The air compressor itself requires little maintenance, however its life is dependent upon sufficient clean, cool lubricating oil. The oil level in the air-oil tank must be checked regularly. Lack of oil will damage the compressor. Disassembly or field repairs to the air compressor are not recommended. Check the air-oil tank sight glass for proper oil level. The level should be kept at midpoint up the glass. The compressor rotor must turn freely. All tube connections must be air tight. Alignment of the compressor and motor sheaves and proper belt tension are important. Belt tension is adjusted according to the displacement on the belt with thumb pressure. The displacement should be 3/8 to 1/2 inch. To adjust, loosen the two bolts on the compressor mounting flange and the three setscrews which hold the compressor in place.The mounting flange is slotted at the top, which permits belt tightening. If the slot in the mounting flange is insufficient for obtaining proper belt tension, the modular base has two extra holes for this purpose. Move the top bolt to the next hole and adjust. Tighten bolts and setscrews. Replace belt guards. If belt becomes frayed or cracked, replace it. Caution Do not attempt field repair the compressor. Installation of a new compressor is mandatory. Send the old compressor in for repair or exchange (where allowed) Air Cleaner
67
Never operate the compressor without the air cleaner in place. The cleaner should be cleaned at regular intervals. The correct oil level must be maintained in the air cleaner. Use the same oil used for air compressor lubrication. Oil-Air Tank Check the lube oil level in the oil-air tank. Inspect oil level regularly as loss of oil will damage the compressor. Change oil every 2000 hours of operation. The oil-air tank should be drained once a year and thoroughly flushed. Remove the mist eliminator pads from the upper section of the tank, wash thoroughly in kerosene and dry. Refill with non detergent SAE 30 oil to a level midway up the sight glass. For normal environment use SAE30oil. For a 32 degree F. and below environment use SAE10 oil. Oil Level Sight Gauge The oil level sight gauge can be cleaned by removing it from the air-oil tank and soaking it in a detergent solution. If cleaning the gauge proves unsatisfactory, replace it. Compressor Inlet Oil Strainer (Lube oil Strainer) The lube oil strainer prevents foreign materials from entering the compressor. The strainer screen must be cleaned at regular intervals. The screen is easily removed for cleaning by unscrewing the bottom plug. Immerse in solvent and thoroughly clean. D Series Nozzle Line Heater Nozzle line heaters damaged by water accumulation, do not qualify for warranty or exchange service. Failure to prevent water accumulation inside the heater manifold constitutes improper care. Completely drain the heater manifold periodically. This should be part of the preventive maintenance program. Maintenance consists primarily of removing the heating element from the manifold and scraping any accumulation of carbonized oil or sludge deposits from the heat exchange surfaces. Before breaking electrical connections to the heating elements, mark all wires and terminals to
assure correct replacement of wires. Periodic cleaning is necessary to prevent over heating or burn out of the elements. If operation of the heater becomes sluggish, examine the elements and clean as required. Inspect the manifold each time the heater is removed. Flush all accumulated sludge and sediment before reinstalling the heater. Heater must be full of oil before power is turned on. Oil Strainer Oil strainers should be cleaned frequently to maintain a free and full flow of fuel. The strainer screen must be removed and cleaned at regular intervals. The screen should be removed and cleaned thoroughly by immersing it in solvent and blowing it dry with compressed air. Light oil strainers should be cleaned each month. Heavy oil strainers should be checked and cleaned as often as the experience indicates the necessity. Gas System The burner output will increase with the reduction of pressure in combustion room if the gas actuator is damaged for mechanical or electrical accident.
Because of the many types of flame safeguard systems applicable to this equipment, complete descriptions of electrical systems are beyond the scope of this manual. An individual electrical schematic drawing is shipped with each burner and complete operation and troubleshooting instructions are available from the various flame safeguard system manufacturers. Electric Motors Motor supply voltage must not more than 10 percent from nameplate ratings. At initial start-up and at least once a year thereafter, check the motor current with a meter while the burner is in high fire position. If the reading exceeds the nameplate rating plus service factor, determine the cause and correct it immediately. In dusty locations, clean the motor regularly to assure adequate cooling. Lubricate in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Extended Shutdown When shutting down the burner for an extended period of time, the operator should use the following general guidelines to protect the burner from its surrounding elements. This will increase the operating life of the burner. 1. Turn the main electrical disconnect switch to the burner to OFF. 2. Close all main fuel valves. 3. If the burner operates in a damp environment, cover it with plastic to protect all electrical components from moisture. Remove the flame safeguard control and store in a dry atmosphere.

SECTION 7 WARRANTY
3 Year Conditional Warranty On the Fulton Boiler Pressure Vessel
Fulton China LLC will repair or replace F.B factory any Fulton pressure vessel, which, within 3 years of the date of sale from factory, is found of be defective in workmanship or material, provided this equipment is installed, operated and maintained by the buyer in accordance with the Fulton instruction manual and approved practices, and that the water quality used in the system has been regularly checked to meet the standards for ideal and proper boiler feed water during the warranty period. This warranty does not cover damage or failure that can be attributed to corrosion, (including oxygen pitting) scale or dirt accumulations, or lack of water conditions. The warranty does not include labor charges of any kind. In the event a failure reported. Fulton will require an analysis of the boiler feed water to determine that acceptable water conditions are present at the installation site as well as documentation on the feed water treatment employed since the installation of the boiler. Consult Fulton China LLC Feed water treatment and proper daily blow down procedures are very important in keeping your boiler heating surface free of scale formation, pitting, oxygen corrosion and foaming or bouncing water. Suitable feed water treatment will prolong the boiler life. A thorough boiler inspection should take place during the first three months of operation to access the effectiveness of boiler water treatment techniques, including analysis of potential oxygen pitting. It is the owners responsibility to assure safe operation of the boiler. To avoid corrosion, scale or dirt accumulations, it is recommended that a daily blow down procedure be instituted. The boiler power should be left on during daily blow down so that correct operation in the low water relay may be checked. While blow down, the boiler pressure will drop significantly. While blowing boiler down with power on, it is normal to hear the boiler feed pump come on. The burner should no turn on. If the burner does come on, turn the boiler off and contact our factory immediately. Corrosive acid and chlorine based chemicals in the atmosphere can be damaging to this boiler. It is the owners responsibility to have the boiler room periodically tested to assure these damaging chemicals are not present.
B Fulton China LLC does not provide any warranty for parts manufactured by others.
