and return line as illustrated in Figures 8 and 9 in order to regulate water flow for maintenance of higher boiler water temperature. Set the bypass and return valves to a half throttle position to start. Operate boiler until the system water temperature reaches its normal operating range. Adjust the valves to maintain 180°F to 200°F boiler water temperature and greater the 120°F return temperature. Adjust both valves simultaneously. Closing the boiler return valve while opening the bypass valve will raise the boiler return temperature. Opening the boiler return valve while closing the
e.A water boiler installed above radiation level must be provided with a low water cutoff device as part of the installation.
If a low water
The minimum safe water level of a hot water boiler is just above the highest water containing cavity of the boiler; that is, a hot water boiler must be full of water to operate safely.
B. Install Safety Relief Valve. See Figures 8 and 9. Safety Relief Valve must be installed with spindle in the vertical position. Installation of the relief valve
must be consistent with ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV.
WARNING
Safety (relief) valve discharge piping must be piped near floor to eliminate potential of severe burns. Do not pipe in any area where freezing could occur. Do not install any
C.Install Drain Valve in return piping. See Figures 8 and 9.
D. Oil, grease, and other foreign materials which accumulate in new hot water and a new or reworked system should be boiled out, and then thoroughly flushed. A qualified water treatment chemical specialist should be consulted for recommendations regarding appropriate chemical compounds and concentrations which are compatible with local environmental regulations.
E. After the boiler and system have been cleaned and flushed, and before refilling the entire system add appropriate water treatment chemicals, if necessary, to bring the pH between 7 and 11.
WARNING
Installation is not complete unless a safety relief valve is installed as shown in Figure 1 or 1A.
