To ensure the boiler heat exchanger remains in condition it is essential to condition and monitor the system water to the following criteria:-
Installations.
Testing

In the event of a gas booster being necessary refer to IM/16 'Guidance Notes on the Installation of Gas Pipework, Boosters and Compressors in Customers Premises' and the Gas Act 1972, Schedule 4, Paragraph 18. Manufacturers notes must not be taken in any way as overriding statutory obligations.
Water Hardness
If the system fill water has a hardness in excess of 250mg/1 (17.50 Clark) the water should be softened prior to filling the system to ensure that excessive scaling does not occur within the heat exchanger.
2. Water Acidity
The system fill water should have a pH value between 7 -8.5 to ensure corrosion of the heat exchanger does not occur. 3. Free Oxygen The free oxygen content of the system water should be zero. (When testing for oxygen content the sample should be tested immediately it is drawn from the system to ensure a true reading is obtained). Iron Ions/Oxides Iron content of the system water should be less than 0.1 lng/I. Iron ions are colourless, if iron is a serious problem then iron oxides, FeZO3 and Fe3O4' coloured red and black respectively may be produced.
In addition for oil fired appliances refer to the following:BS 799: Oil Burning Equipment For boilers with a heat input rating greater than 2MW the provisions of BS 6644 have been adopted as the best practice.
BOILER SITING AND BASE

The boiler should be sited in accordance with BS 6644: 1991 with respect to protecting the boiler from damage, air for combustion and ventilation, discharge of products of combustion, clearances for service and access, temperatures, noise levels, the disposal of boiler water and flooding of the boiler house or seepage from a roof top boiler house. See figure 1.2 for boiler clearances for service and access and table 1.3 for boiler base dimensions.
A level non-combustible floor capable of supporting the weight of the boiler filled with water, see Table 6. 1.4, together with any additional weight bearing down on the base from connections, burner, etc, must be provided.
5. Sulphates Sodium Sulphate is the principal component of water treatment. Inclusion in the water system ensures dissolved oxygen is removed and the system is protected against corrosion. Copper Ions
The copper content of the system water should be less than O.OSmg/l. If large quantities of copper are present red and black copper oxide Cu20 and CuO and, grey/green copper carbonate, CuCO3 will be produced. Copper will corrode iron and aluminium within the system.
The weight of the boiler is supported by two "C" section supports fitted to the bottom of the boiler, see figure 1.1 and table 1.1 for support dimensions.

On oil distribution systems with long pipe runs or when the oil tanks are mounted at a lower level than the burner, consideration should be given to the use of a pressurised ring main. The individual boiler connections to the ring main should incorporate pressure regulating valves to maintain a constant pressure to the burner below the maximum inlet
The Arizona is supplied with both single phase and three phase burners. The boiler installation should be connected via a fused isolator.

For gas burner connection sizes refer to the burner card or burner manufacturers instructions. Note that elevated gas pressure may be required, particularly for the larger models, (a gas booster may be required). Ensure that the required gas volume at the correct pressure is available. The gas supply pipe should be sized to allow the minimum operating pressure to be available at the bumer inlet under full running conditions. The pipe should be sized to prevent excessive pressure drops under full running conditions. The air slupplied for boiler house ventilation shall be such that the maximum temperatures within the boiler house shall not exceed 25C at floor level, 3~C at mid level (1.5m above floor level) and 40C at ceilin~J level (or 100mm below ceiling level). Refer to 1356644: 1991 for further details. Air SUDDlv bv Natural Ventilation Ventilation by grilles communicating directly with the outside air is required at both high and low levels. A minimum free area of the grilles for a single boiler are given in Table 1.4. Where plant is likely to used at or near maximum capacity during the summer months, additional ventilation may be required to prevent excess temperatures.
Where gas boosters are required attention is drawn to the Gas Act 1986, Schedule 5, Part II, paragraph 8 (4).

Air Supply by Mechanical Ventilation The supply of air to a space housing the boiler by mechanical means should be by mechanical inlet with natural or mechanical extraction. Mechanical ventilation with natural inlet must not be used. See Table 1.4 for mechanical inlet ventilation rates for single boiler applications To ensure safe and satisfactory operation the chimney system, which may be individual or common in the case of modular boiler installations, shall be capable of the complete evacuation of combustion products at all times. The effectiveI height of the chimney terminal(s) above the boiler(s) flue outlet(s) shall ensure sufficient buoyancy to overcome the resistance of the bends, tees and runs For multiple boiler installations the ventilation rate is of the flue pipe involved and shall terminate in aI based on a 0.9 m3/sec flow rate per 1000 kW total down draught free zone.

Typical flue gas temperatures for the and th:refore must be avoided.
Arizona boiler are given in Table 1.4. Tests for spillage of products from the flue system when the extractor fan is running and all doors ana windows are shut should be carried out during commissioning. If spillage is detected, the area of permanent ventilation must be increased. In the case of flue systems which are exposed and have an overall height of 12m or more then consideration should be given to lining the flue. In the case of brick or similar structures a stainless steel rigid or flexible flue liner (Grade 304/316) may be used backed up with a 50mm minimum thick layer of vermiculite or perlite granules between the inner skin and the chimney body. Cavities around the liner should be sealed at both top and bottom. A flue system should be no nearer than 50mm to combustible material except where it passes through it enclosed in a sleeve of non-combustible material with an annular (air) space of 25mm. The flue termination should be at least 1 m above the roof surface and away from any wind pressure areas where the flue products could re-enter the building, ego near an openable window, mechanical air inlet, etc. Flues should not be terminated inI areas where down draught may occur.

Air contaminated with chlorine vapours and CFC gases must not be allowed to enter boiler combustion chambers or formation of chlorine gas and hydrochloric acid will create severe and rapid boiler corrosion. There is also a danger that toxic chlorine gas will be emitted from the boiler flue. In areas where such products are used, and these include degreasants, dry cleaning fluids, refrigerants and aerosol propellants, steps must be taken to

iMPORTANT: 900 square bends must not be used on the flue system, including the boiler flue spigot, a straight length followed by an "easy sweep" or lobster back bend should be used.
On multiple boiler installations where a common flue header is utilised. boiler connections to the flue header and connection of the flue header to the chimney stack should utilise 1350 swept "T" connections. Drainage points positioned at the bottom of all vertical chimney sections should be provided. Drain pipes should be no less than 25mm 1.0. and should be manufactured from acid condensate resistant material such as high temperature polypropelene or stainless steel and positioned so that pipe runs and discharge points are not subject to the effects of frost. Copper pipe is not suitable due to the mildly acidic properties of the condensate. Condensate pipe runs should fall with a gradient of at least 3% and at no point must the drain pipe rise above the level of the drainage point connection.
Where the flue draught is inadequate to meet the minimum boiler flue draught requirements or excessive horizontal runs of flue have been utilised that may prevent satisfactory start-up of the boiler and flue system, then mechanical assistance should be considered. The buoyancy force is directly proportional to the flue gas temperature of the exhaust gas. The flue system should be designed, and insulated where necessary, to maintain a temperature drop of less than 17C between the flue gas entry and flue gas exit. For flue calculation purposes the mean flue gasI temperature is equated from flue gas temperatureI (net) + ambient temperature -17C/2 (this assumesI a maximum temperature drop of 17C across the flue system and represents the mean temperature). For example the Arizona Model 140 has a typical flue gas temperature of 170C (net). Assuming an ambient temperature of 20C a typical mean flue gas temperature for this boiler would be:-
170 + 20 -11 = 181.5C

FLUE SIZE CONSIDERATIONS Nominal boiler flue connection sizes are given in Table 1.4 these sizes refer to the boiler flue connection spigot. The actual size of the flue system will depend on individual site applications. Detailed below are general considerations on sizing flue systems. These notes are for guidance only and Potterton Commercial Division cannot accept responsibility for flue system design.

For an Arizona boiler buoyancy force is typically 0.4 mmwg (80 model), 0.41 mmwg (100 -170 models) and 0.43 mmwg (180 -2350 models) per metre stack height measured vertically from the flue I connection on the boiler to the chimney exit point.
Natural Drauaht Flue Systems Buoyancy Force Natural draught flue systems are designed so that the buoyancy force due to the hot flue gases create a draught (suction) that, after overcoming resistance losses, is adequate for the flue draught requirements at the boiler connection spigot given in Table 1.4. Flue System Losses Losses in flue systems are attributed to friction losses due to flue gas velocities, plus pressure losses due to fittings and the chimney exit point. Table 3.1 (page 3.6) gives the pressure loss for each metre of flue pipe and the pressure drop forI each flue fitting. The flue system pressure drops should be totalled including all horizontal flue runs and the chimney exit loss.

Subtraction of the total loss from the buoyancy available will give the flue draught available at the boiler flue outlet spigot. The flue system should be sized so that the draught available is within the operating range of the boiler as given in Table 1.4.
Excessive Buoyancy Force To reduce a high flue draught to an acceptable operating level, consideration should be given to the installation of a flue draught stabiliser.

The water circulation systems should be indirect and installed in accordance with the relevant parts of British Standards Codes of Practice CP342 and
BS 6644: 1991.
The maximum and minimum design temperature differential across the boiler should be 20C and 10C and the boiler should be prevented from operating with flow rates giving a temperature difference across the boiler greater than 25C based on the full boiler output. Boilers operating under constant flow conditions can be more accurately controlled and are not subject to excessive temperature stresses. The boiler must not be fired with less than the minimum flow.
It is recommended that the system is designed to give a constant boiler flow rate. For ful1her information on water circulation systems see Pottel1on Publication Technical Bulletin Number 1

Boiler Condensation
If the system water content is large, and the start up period before which the water return temperature attains the minimum operating temperature exceeds 20 minutes then consideration should be given to the fitting of a shunt pump or by-pass valve controlled by a pipe thermostat to raise the return water temperature to prevent formation of condensation within the boiler and flue system. It should be noted that shunt pumps should not be used to boost low water flow rates. See Potterton Publication Technical Bulletin Number 1 Issue 2 for further information. Q!bER PROTECTION The provision of pump overrun by a time delay relay or a thermostat situated in the flow pipe close to the boiler is essential to remove residual heat from the boiler, see Figure 6.4, page 6.4. The boiler and system suitable frost thermostats. should be protected by
On systems with variable flow rates due to flow reducing devices, ie. TRVs, zone valves, etc., or where the minimum heat demand, ie. summer domestic hot water load, does not achieve the minimum boiler flow rate then consideration shall be given to incorporating a primary loop system. For further information see Potterton Publication Technical Bulletin Number 1 Issue 2.
The flow rate and hydraulic resistance for an 11C boiler temperature rise are given in Table 1.4, alternatively, flow rates through boilers can be calculated from:-
FLOW (Iit/sec) =
kW (Boiler Cutout)
4.2 x Boiler Temp Rise C

The minimum design flow rate relates to a 20C boiler temperature rise and should not be misinterpreted as the system design temperature drop particularly where systems have been designed with stand-by capacity.
The hydraulic resistance of the boiler is proportional for flow rates equating to a boiler temperature rise of between 10C and 20C. The hydraulic resistance at 11C AT is given in Table 1.4, hydraulic resistance at alternative flow rates can be calculated from:-
Unions and isolating valves should be fitted to the flow and return manifolds so that the boiler can be isolated from the system if the need arises.
Strainers
Migrating sludge and debris will have a detrimental effect on the life and operation of the boiler and this must not occur. If all debris cannot be removed, strainers and/or other devices should be fitted. Consideration should be given to water treatment and inhibitors to maintain water quality. Migration of system debris or scaling of the waterways will impair the life expectancy of the boiler sections.

The cold feed pipe shall be situated within the building and shall be insulated along those parts of it's length where freezing conditions or condensation may be expected to occur. For multiple and modular boiler installations the cold feed connection shall be either to the common return pipe upstream of the individual boiler isolating valves or to each individual boiler return pipe downstream of the isolating valve. The cold feed to a multiple or modular boiler installation shall be provided with a lockable isolating valve and sized in accordance with Table
The fitting of strainers is strongly recommended.

The system should be checked to ensure that there is no raw water make-up. It is strongly recommended that a suitable water meter is fitted to the cold feed supply of the boiler system to monitor for unregulated water make-up. The quality of the water in both the heating system and the water supply should be checked to ensure that the hardness and salinity are not excessive. In the case of systems containing aluminium components the pH should be monitored to prevent corrosion. On systems where unregulated raw water make-up or system debris is known to exist but remedial action cannot be implemented then consideration should be given to installing a heat exchanger to isolate the boiler from the water system to protect the boiler otherwise premature failure may occur. A specialist water treatment company should be consulted if in doubt. Open Vented Systems

Maximum Operatina Temperature

The maximum operating temperature of a system is dependent on the operating pressure. The minimum design operating pressure (not static) at any point of a system should be sufficient to prevent boiling within any part of the heating system and the boiler control thermostat should be set to provide a 17C safety margin below the saturated steam absolute pressure given in Table 3.3 corresponding to the minimum design operating pressure.

ARIZONA CISTERN SIZING

The cistern should be sized to accommodate the water expansion in the system from QoC to the maximum operating temperature. Where the volume of the system is not known then it can be estimated at 12 litres per kW of design load. For systems with a maximum operating temperatures of up to 100C the water can expand by 4% (for systems up to 140C the expansion is 8%). Therefore assuming a system loading of 1000 kW, the approximate system volume is 1000 x 12 litres = 12000 litres and the expansion of water in a system with a maximum design 100C is 4% x 12000 = 480 litres. temperature of venting point. The open vent pipe shall discharge into the feed and expansion cistern above the overflow level and for a single boiler installation the pipe shall not be fitted with valves (apart from a 3-way type such that when closed the boiler is open to atmosphere through the third port and shall incorporate means of indicating the position of the open port. The nominal bore of the valve shall be not less than that of the open vent pipe in which it is fitted). Nor shall there be any obstruction which could prevent safe venting of the boiler. The vent pipe shall be insulated along those parts of it's length where freezing may be expected and shall be situated as far as is practicab1e inside the building to reduce freezing problems.

Multiple or modular boiler installations shall have an open vent pipe or pipes of the size stated in Table 3.5 as appropriate. Individual open vent pipes shall be either routed independently to the venting point or be connected to a common open vent pipe of appropriate size for the total rated heat input of the installation (see Table 1.4 for individual boiler open vent sizes). The open vent pipe shall rise continuously by the shortest practical route to the NB: 1 Bar = 33.5 ft head or 14.5 Ib/in2 On systems containing components with lower maximum operating pressures than the boiler, the rating of the safety valve should be reduced accordingly or additional safety valves provided to protect these items.

The position of the expansion vessel(s) should be such that the manufacturers maximum operating temperature is not exceeded and the provision of an anti gravity tank may be required for systems operating above 100C.
In addition, the position of the expansion vessel(s) should prevent inadvertent isolation of the boiler system from the expansion vessel, where isolating devices, ie, valves, etc., are incorporated between the boiler(s) and the expansion vessel these should be capable of being locked in the open position during normal operation.

System Fillina & Water Make-Uo The sealed system should incorporate suitable means for initial filling, ie. pressure boost pump, which shall comply with the local water authority bye laws and the cold feed supply to the system should incorporate a non-return valve and an isolating valve with the capability of being locked in the open position during normal operation. An automatic air vent should be provided between the isolating valve and the non-return valve and provision should be made within the sealed system to allow automatic replacement of water lost from the system. This may include a pressure boost pump and associated controls or an independent primary feed cistern. However, it is recommended that a suitable device such as a water meter is installed to detect unregulated raw water make-up. See BS 6644: 1991 for further details on provision for filling and make-up on sealed systems. Maximum ODeratino Temcerature The maximum operating temperature of a sealed system is dependent on the operating pressure. The minimum design operating pressure (not static) at any point of a sealed system should be sufficient to prevent boiling within the any part of the heating system and the boiler control thennostat should be set to provide a 17C safety margin below the absolute saturated steam pressure given in Table 3.3 corresponding to the minimum design operating
"A" can be calculated from:A= R 0.659 x P1 x I!cdr where R = boiler output in kW, P1 = 7.6 Kdr = The de-rated coefficient of discharge, (available from the safety valve manufacturer) and A = flow area in mm2
Alternatively
Spring loaded valves are recommended where the static head exceeds 2.5 bar and/or where the boiler may be affected by external vibrations.
The size of the connecting pipe from the safety valve shall terminate in a visible position where discharge will not result in hazard to the user or plant. The size of the discharge pipe shall be not less than the nominal size of the valve outlet. For fur1her guidance on safety valve sizes see BS
6644: 1991.
SEALED SYSTEMS
General
Potterton Commercial boilers are suitable for use on sealed systems designed in accordance with BS 6644: 1991 and BS 6880 Part 2. In addition, reference should be made to the Health & Safety Executive guidance note PM5 "Automatically Controlled Steam & Hot Water Boilers".
Expansion Vessels
The sealed system should incorporate an expansion vessel complying with BS 4814 sized to accommodate the volumetric hydraulic expansion of the heating system between ooG and the temperature setting of the overheat thermostat
pressure.
The boiler overheat thermostat should provide a safety margin of at least 6C below the absolute saturated steam pressure.
Section 3 Page 3.13
ARIZONA
Minimum Operating Pressure The minimum operating pressure (not static) or cold fill pressure should be sufficient to maintain a positive pressure within the heating system to prevent boiling as detailed above. Care should be taken in positioning of the circulating pump(s) relative to the expansion vessel (zero or null point) particularly on systems where a high hydraulic resistance is present to ensure that operation of the pump does not cause a reduction in operating pressure at any point in the system below the minimum operating pressure. A low water pressure cut off device shall be incorporated to prevent operation of the boiler plant on low water pressure. The pressure cut off device should be set at a pressure to prevent boiling in any part of the heating system while operating at the design working temperature.
Consideration should be given to the positioning of safety valves, low level cut off devices and automatic air vents relative to the minimum operating pressure to ensure that the influence of pump operation does not cause or prevent operation of these devices.
Maximum Ooeratina Pressure The boiler plant should be prevented from operating when the system pressure rises to within 0.35 bar of the safety valve setting. .
Safetv Valves The safety valve on a sealed system should be sized in accordance with the following equation. A = R 2.5 x Kdr
where R = Kdr=
A =

BOilER COMMISSIONING
Water Quality 1. It is important for the longevity of the boiler shell that water of the appropriate quality is used in the system to avoid the formation of limescale in the boiler. Note the fill water requirements page 2.2. stated in Section 2 4. Where the water volume of the heating system is large and the water is very hard the fill water should be softened. 2. Electrical supply is of the correct voltage and polarity and earthing is available. The fuel supply is of the correct type for the burner fitted, tested for soundness, purged of air and correctly connected to the burner. Boiler and system are fully flooded with water and the water system operating pressure is within the boiler range. Pumps are operational and any flow proving interlocks are functional. The operation of the pump should be checked, particularly on sealed systems, to ensure that the operation does not cause a reduction in pressure within the system below the minimum operating pressure. ventilation is adequate and in the case of mechanical ventilation systems, operation of the boiler is inhibited unless the ventilation fan is proved. On mechanically assisted flue systems the operation of the boiler plant should be inhibited unless the mechanical flue system is operational and flow proved. The safety valve should be checked to ensure that it is of the correct size and pressure. See section 3 for further details. The cold feed and open vent sizes should be checked. See section 3 for further details. Ensure the burner fitted to the boiler is of the correct specification and size for the boiler and suitable for the fuel supply available. The burner blast tube has been sealed to the door refractory and the boiler door seal is correct. See section 4 for further details. Before commencing check the following:commissioning the burner

BURNER COMMISSIONtNG
Comoetency
IMPORTANT: The boiler must be commissioned following completion of installation. Operation of an un-commissioned appliance is a criminal offence. It may cause injury to personnel and damage to the boiler and will invalidate the boiler warranty. Commissioning should only be carried out by personnel approved and competent to do so. This facility is available from Pottel1on Commercial Service Offices at the addresses listed on the back of this manual.
Following completion of the above checks the burner should be commissioned in accordance with Ii; the manufacturers hand book provided with the. burner. The commissioning form provided at the back of this manual must be completed and returned to Potterton Commercial at the address on the back page.
Typical combustion figures are:CO2 Gas 9-10% Oil 12-13% CO 0-20 ppm Oil Firing Smoke No. 0-1 (Bacharah Scale) Flue Gas Temperature section 1 page 1.3. ~ see Technical data in
Commissioning of the burner should be carried out in accordance with the burner manufacturers instructions provided.
IMPORTANT: A condition of the supply of the appliance for compliance with the Potterton Commercial Quality Assurance, (registered to meet the requirements of BS5750 Part 2), plan is the return of the appliance commissioning report, enclosed at the back of this manual.
Section 5
Page 5.2
ARIZONA
Following/during commissioning of the burner unit the following additional checks should be carried out.
1. Operation of the overheat thermostat. This can be tested using the overheat thermostat test button on the boiler control panel. Operation of the control and high/low (if fitted). thermostats. (1 st and 2nd stage thermostats). should be checked. The flue draught available at the appliance flue outlet should be checked under all operating conditions (hot and cold) and should be within the boiler operating parameters, see table 1.4. The fuel supply to the appliance should be isolated and the burner operated to ensure safety shutdown and lockout of the bumer on flame failure. Shutdown of the boiler plant by external controls does not cause a hazardous condition and pump overrun is provided to remove residual heat from the boiler. Following commissioning the boiler overheat and control thermostats should be set to the required operating setting. See section 3 for maximum operating temperatures. Following completion of commissioning the soundness of all automatic fuel valves should be checked for leakage.
I
Where overheat operation is reported the following should be checked. (a) The boiler/system pump is adequate for the duty. (b) Operation of flow reducing devices, i.e. thermostatic radiator valves, compensated mixing valves, etc., do not reduce the water flow rate through the boiler below the minimum flow rate. See Water Circulation Systems, section 3 for water flow rates. (c) Pump overrun is incorporated to dissipate residual heat from the boiler on system shut down. (d) The operation of boiler back-end valves incorporate a time delay to allow for removal of residual heat from the boiler. (e) The boiler is operating at the correct rate and is not over-fired. The use of as primary loop system is highly recommended to provide constant boiler flow rate under all operating conditions. For further information refer to Potterton publication Technical Bulletin No.1, Issue Water Circulation Systems.

Burner Lockout
The package burners supplied with the boiler unit have an integral safety system to allow the safe and reliable operation of the burner. Failure of the burner to operate correctly will cause the burner control box to "lockout", the lockout button on the burner will illuminate to indicate this. The lockout condition can be manually reset by pushing the reset button and the control box should restart it's control sequence in an attempt to light the burner. If the control box lockout will not reset or goes to lockout after being reset then the services of a boiler repaor/maintenance company should be sought. This service is available from Potterton Commercial Division Service at the addresses on the back page of this manual.
Additional Checks Where possible the system should be checked to ensure that following purging of air there us no raw water make-up. In particular, when the system us operated in the hot condition, there should be no discharge of water from the safety valve, open vent or cold feed tank overflow that would otherwise lead to unregulated raw water make-up when the system cools down.
FAULT FINDING
General fault finding for burner failure should be in accordance with the burner manufacturers hand book. Set out below are general guidance notes on system fault finding.
WARNING: The lockout reset button should not be repeatedly operated otherwise a hazardous situation may occur.
Should the boiler go to lockout, check the following before attempting to re-light the burner. 1. Fuel is available at the burner. 2. The electrical supply to the appliance is of the correct voltage and polarity. The boiler control boxes in some instances have indicator dials as an aid to fault finding on boiler lockout. In these instances refer to the control box manufacturers data sheet for fault finding details.
Overheat Operation
The boiler control panel has an built in overheat indicator lamp. Operation of the boiler overheat thermostat is associated with a reduction in boiler water flow. The overheat thermostat can be tested by pressing the test button on the boiler control panel. Note that the boiler temperature will rise to
110C.

If the boiler is left shut down for a long period of time consideration should be given to placing a box containing quicklime in the combustion chamber to prevent moisture building up in the boiler. Boiler Checks -Combustion Chamber
BOILER MAINTENANCE
It is essential for efficient and trouble free operation that the boiler plant is regularly maintained. This must be carried out by qualified and experienced engineers and in the case of gas fired appliances attention is drawn to the requirement that ACOPS certified engineers only undertake this work. Potterton Commercial Service Division provides a full maintenance service -see the back of this installation manual for the telephone number of your local service depot. Service Interval The Arizona boiler and burner should be serviced and the burner re-commissioned once per year.
In addition to the checks on the water system the combustion side of the boiler should be maintained as follows.
WARNING: Isolate the electricity and fuel supplies to the boiler before commencing any maintenance work.
Boiler Checks -Water System
Natural Gas & LPG Fired Boilers The combustion chamber and flueways should be brushed out and any debris removed from the boiler bi-annually.
Class "0" Fuel Oil The boilers should be brushed out thoroughly at least bi-monthly during the heating season but more frequent attention may be necessary dependent on the operating conditions to prevent the formation of hard adherent scale on the tube surfaces. It is essential to ensure that cleaning is carried out throughout the full length of the flue tube passes and that the rear clean out covers are taken off to allow for the removal of deposits brushed through into the flue box. Should heavy or tough adherent deposit become formed, which is too hard for the standard brush to remove, it may be necessary to :Wash out the tubes with water followed by a thorough brushing -this may have to be repeated several times
Weekl~ -Check the amount of raw water make up. If raw water make up is occurring IMMEDIATELY identify and rectify any leaks on the system. Monthl~ -Check to make sure there is no sludge in the boiler by isolating the boiler and draining down. Quarterly -Shut down the boiler, open the combustion chamber door and check that the refractory is in good condition and that the flueways are not blocked, (i.e. clogged with soot). Withdraw and visually check the turbulators for soot and deterioration. Take a sample of system water and analyse for:pH value Hardness Oxygen Steel content Copper content If the water analysis exceeds the maximum recommended concentration levels then remedial action should be taken to treat the water see section 2 page 2.2 for details.
or,
.Use a flexible drive rotary descaling machine. The Arizona boiler should not be fuelled by medium or heavy fuel oil.
Annual Service At the annual service carry out all the operations for weekly, monthly and quarterly maintenance and in addition:-
Comoletion of Maintenance
On completion of annual maintenance and when the boiler combustion chamber door has been opened the boiler should be re-commissioned as described on page 5.1 above.
Open the combustion chamber door. Check the condition of the turbulators by removing them from the flueway tubes.
