8.A Burner operation guidelines:
Normal daily boiler operation:
• check the correct operation of system components: burner, control system
• check water level on a pressure gauge
• check fuel level and quality and fuel feed system operation
• check hydraulic joints leak tightness
• keep the boiler room clean and tidy.
In case of any performance issues, remove the faulty devices or contact an
Authorised Service Centre to arrange a repair or an adjustment.
8.B Inspection scope and schedule:
a) Monthly
• check system water pressure
• check safety valve operation
• check control and safety device operation
• check tightness of all connectors and joints
• check balanced ventilation system.
b) Minor inspection (every 6 months)
• check rope seal and gaskets,
• check boiler door thermal insulation,
• check safety devices (safety valve, safety temperature limiter STB etc.).
c) Major inspection (every 12 months)
• check rope seal and gaskets,
• check boiler door and cleanout cover thermal insulation,
• check safety devices (safety valve, safety temperature limiter STB etc.),
• check flue gas
• clean combustion section of the boiler
• check thermal insulation of the boiler
• check and adjust burner, adjust control system settings.
After a long boiler/burner standstill, the residual oxygen in boiler water and the
oxygen from the air mixed with a carbonic acid have highly corrosive properties.
Take any precautions necessary if the boiler downtime is to exceed a week.
