2.WATER BOILER

a.For Forced Circulation HOT WATER HEATING. See Figure 9. Consult I=B=R Installation and Piping Guide No. 200.

b.Use a boiler water bypass if the boiler is to be operated in a system which has a large volume or excessive radiation where low boiler water temperature may be encountered (i.e. converted gravity circulation system, etc.).

Install a pipe tee between the circulator and boiler return along with a second tee in the supply piping as shown in Figure 9. The bypass should be the same size as the supply and return lines. Locate valves in the bypass and supply outlet as illustrated in Figure 9 for regulation of water flow to maintain higher boiler water temperature.

Set the by-pass and boiler supply valves to a half throttle position to start. Operate boiler until the system water temperature is a normal operating range.

Adjust the valves to provide 180° to 200°F supply water temperature. Opening the boiler supply valves will raise the system temperature, while opening the bypass valve will lower the system supply temperature.

c.If this boiler is connected to heating coils located in air handling units where they may be exposed to refrigerated air the boiler piping must be equipped with flow control valves to prevent gravity circulation of boiler water during the operation of the cooling system.

d.If this boiler is used in connection with refrigeration systems, the boiler must be installed so that the chilled medium is piped in parallel with the heating boiler using appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium from entering the boiler, see Figure 10. Also consult I=B=R Installation and Piping Guides.

e.A hot water boiler installed above radiation level must be provided with a low water cutoff device as part of the installation. See Section VIII, Low Water Cut-Off for additional details.

3.STEAM BOILER

a.For Recommended STEAM BOILER PIPING refer to Figure 11. Also, consult I=B=R Installation and Piping Guides.

b.Evaluate the Existing Steam System.

The single most important factor in determining the expected life cycle of a steam boiler, is the amount of fresh water added to the boiler during operation. Fresh water brings minerals and oxygen into the boiler. These contaminants greatly accelerate corrosion of the cast iron boiler sections.

i.Assure that all system radiators, piping and vents are absolutely leak tight.

•When a steam boiler is installed in an existing system, ALL air vents should be replaced at the same time. This assures that the new boiler will not be compromised by existing system leaks.

•If the system contains hidden supply or return piping (hidden behind walls, buried in concrete, etc.) pressure test this piping to assure there are no leaks.

ii.Repair any leaks in the system.

iii.Install accurate water meter on the fresh water supply to the boiler.

NOTICE

Do not use softened water in steam boilers. Accelerated boiler corrosion will result. Tie in fresh water supply to the boiler upstream of a water softener.

4.OXYGEN CONTAMINATION:

a.There are many possible causes of oxygen contamination such as:

i.Addition of excessive make-up water as a result of system leaks.

ii.Absorption through open tanks and fittings.

iii.Oxygen permeable materials in the distribution system.

b.In order to insure long product life, oxygen sources should be eliminated. This can be accomplished by taking the following measures:

i.Repairing system leaks to eliminate the need for addition of make-up water.

ii.Eliminating open tanks from the system.

iii.Eliminating and/or repairing fittings which allow oxygen absorption.

iv.Use of non-permeable materials in the distribution system.

v.Isolating the boiler from the system water by installing a heat exchanger.

See Section V, Paragraph B, Step 3 for additional details.

CAUTION

Oxygen contamination of the boiler water will cause corrosion of iron and steel boiler components, and can lead to boiler failure. New Yorker's Standard Warranty does not cover problems caused by oxygen contamination of boiler water or scale (lime) build-up caused by frequent addition of water.
