WARNINGS

SAFETY

The instructions provided for the operation and maintenance of the boiler MUST be observed. Failure to do so could result in

damage to the heater and serious personal injury.

!

WARNING

Do not try to do repairs or any other maintenance work

you do not understand. Obtain a service manual from

Fulton Ltd or call a Fulton service engineer.

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure all parts

suppliedwiththeboilerarettedinacorrectandsafe

manner.

Understand the electrical circuit before connecting

or disconnecting an electrical component. A wrong

connection can cause injury and or damage.

A defective boiler can injure you or others. Do not

operate a boiler which is defective or has missing

parts. Make sure that all maintenance procedures are

completed before using the boiler.

Do not change the boiler fuel without consulting the

boiler manufacturer.

LIFTING EQUIPMENT

Make sure that lifting equipment complies with all local

regulations and is suitable for the job. You can be injured

if you use faulty lifting equipment. Make sure the lifting

equipment is in good condition.

Operating the boiler beyond its design limits can damage

the boiler, it can also be dangerous. Do not operate the

boiler outside its limits. Do not try to upgrade the boiler

performancebyunapprovedmodications.

Non-approvedmodicationscancauseinjuryand

damage. Contact your Fulton dealer before modifying

the boiler.

Only qualied persons should be allowed to

operate and maintain the boiler and its equipment.

Boilers should always be drained through an approved

blowdown vessel.

The installation of gas appliances including the

uesystemshouldonlybecarriedoutbyGasSafe

registered engineers.

Steam boilers have high temperature surfaces, that if

touched may cause serious burns. Only competent and

qualiedpersonnelshouldworkonorinthelocalityof

a steam boiler and ancillary equipment. Always ensure

theworkingareaandoorareclearofpotentialhazards,

work slowly and methodically.

DoNOTstoreinammablematerialsneartheboiler.

The importance of correct boiler water and feedwater

cannot be over emphasised, see the relevant section in

this manual.

!

CAUTION

Obey all laws and local regulations which affect you and

your boiler.

LOW FEEDWATER TEMPERATURE

Low feedwater temperature can result in thermal shock

to the boiler pressure vessel. Return the maximum

amount of condensate and if necessary preheat the

feedwater. If in doubt consult Fulton Ltd.

WATER SOFTENER and CHEMICAL TREATMENT

The chemicals required to operate the water softeners

and chemical treatment plants CAN BE SUPPLIED by

Fulton Ltd.

It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure adequate

supplies of chemical are available at all times

(including commissioning). Costly repairs could be

required should the plant operate without chemicals or

the wrong dosage of chemicals.

HYDRAULIC TEST - RISK OF BRITTLE FRACTURE

Hydraulic testing requires specialist equipment and

is normally only required by engineering surveyors /

inspectors. In order to ensure the material/ pressure

vessel does not suffer from brittle fracture, hydraulic

testing should not be carried out below 7 °C.

!

WARNING

DANGER FROM INCOMPLETE COMBUSTION

The importance of correct burner adjustment to achieve

lowemissions,safe,cleanandefcientcombustion

is paramount. Poor combustion, where unburnt gas

forms carbon monoxide is both a health hazard, and

the potential risk to the boiler from overheating, caused

byre-burningoftheunburntgasinthesecondaryue

passes.

Prior to the commencement of any work requiring the

removal of cover plates and the opening of control panel

box, the electrical supply to the boiler must be isolated.

2.9 WATER SUPPLY

Figure. 8 - Boiler Feedwater Inlet Valve

The quality of the feedwater will affect the life and performance of a steam boiler.

Steamisproducedbyheattransferfromtheheatsourceintothewaterconnedwithintheboiler

cylindrical shell, by the passage of hot gases through the furnace and tubes. It should be noted

that solids entering the boiler with the feedwater can rapidly concentrate at areas of high heat

transfer. Such deposits can restrict heat transfer and consequently raise mean metal temperature,

which can cause corrosion and reduce safety margins possibly to the point of failure.

It is therefore strongly recommended that a reputable water treatment specialist is consulted prior

to putting the boiler into service.

Note: See Appendix A - TI-140-Recommended Water Conditions.

WatercharacteristicsaregenerallyasspeciedinBS24861997“TreatmentofWaterforSteam

Boilers and Water Heaters”, Table 2.

Boilers operating in areas with high residual hardness, high levels of Bicarbonate (temporary)

hardnessandlowcondensatereturnrates,willhavedifcultyinmaintainingTotalandCaustic

Alkalinity(TDS)gures,withinthespeciedlimitswhenbaseexchangesofteningisused.

This will result in a tendency of the boiler water to foam causing unstable water level conditions

possibly leading to priming and carry over. In these instances particular care should be taken to

establish a suitable water treatment programme and blowdown schedule in consultation with your

water treatment specialist.

Cold feedwater contains high levels of dissolved oxygen which is highly corrosive when released

within a steam boiler. Always pre-heat the feedwater to 80 °C - 85 °C to reduce dissolved oxygen

to a minimum and prevent thermal shock. Water treatment chemicals should be used to remove

the remainder of the dissolved oxygen.

Failure to do so will result in premature failure of the boiler tubes which will not be covered by

guarantee.

CAUTION

WATER SOFTENER and CHEMICAL TREATMENT

The chemicals required to operate the water softeners and chemical treatment plants

CAN BE SUPPLIED by Fulton. It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure adequate supplies

of chemical are available at all times (including commissioning). Costly repairs could be required

should the plant operate without chemicals or the wrong dosage of chemicals.

Consult Fulton Ltd if in doubt.

To minimise pressure drops, eliminate

all unnecessary bends and elbows in the

pipework between the gas meter and the

inlet to the gas train.

Ensure that a gas cock of the correct size

is installed as close as possible to the gas

train.

All gas pipework must be installed by
