2. CONDENSATE REMOVAL SYSTEM
The Bobcat
Leave the top of the condensate drain tee open, to act as a vacuum breaker. Do not allow any part of the condensate removal system to be exposed to freezing temperatures, or any other conditions that could cause blockage.
If a neutralizing system is installed, the filter medium will require periodic changing, to ensure it’s effectiveness. Refer to the neutralizing unit’s manufacturers instruc- tions, if available, or change the medium on an annual basis.
3. PIPING INSPECTION
Look at all water piping. There should be no leaks or signs of leaks at any pipe joints or around the boiler.
4. SYSTEM WATER PRESSURE INSPECTION
The boiler water pressure is indicated on the pressure gage (See Figure 1 for location). The boiler water outlet temperature is normally indicated on the temperature display (See Figure 1 for location and Figure 9 for digits illustration). For most installations, it should indicate
about 12 to 15 psi pressure when temperature is about 70 to 100F and from 15 psi to 25 psi when temperature is up to 195˚F. FOR YOUR SYSTEM, there is one correct pressure for each temperature. ASK YOUR INSTALLER OR SERVICEPERSON TO EXPLAIN AND SHOW YOU. Learn what normal pressure to look for. If pressure increases from normal, the relief valve will open to relieve the pressure. Call your service organiza- tion if pressures are higher or lower than normal, and if the relief valve spills water. Repair or adjustment is needed.
5. UNUSUAL NOISE
Stand near the boiler and look and listen. As the burner start and shut off, there should be no unusual noise.
6. BOILER ROOM AIR SUPPLY
Ample boiler room fresh air is required for combustion
Check air vents for continues positive supply of air as required. Air needs are greatest in cold weather if boiler installation is
Warning: The flow of combustion and ventilating air to the boiler should not be obstructed.
Warning: If you find any problem during your inspection, call for service immediately.
