    SAFETyThe instructions provided for the operation and maintenance of the boiler MUST be observed.

    Failure to do so could result in damage to the boiler and serious personal injury.

    WARNINGDo not try to do repairs or any other maintenance

    work you do not understand. Obtain a Service Manual from

    Fulton or call a Fulton Service

    Engineer

    WARNINGIt is the responsibility of the installer to ensure all parts supplied

    withtheboilerarettedinacorrectandsafemanner.

    WARNINGUnderstand the electrical circuit before connecting or discon-

    necting an electrical component. A wrong connection can

    cause injury and or damage.

    WARNINGA defective boiler can injure you or others. Do not operate

    a boiler which is defective or has missing parts. Make surethat all maintenance procedures are completed before us-

    ing the boiler.

    CAUTIONObey all laws and local regulations which affect you and

    your boiler.

    WARNINGDo not change the boiler fuel without consulting the boiler

    manufacturer.

    WARNINGLIFTING EQUIPMENT

    Make sure that lifting equipment complies with all local regu-lations and is suitable for the jobYou can be injured if you

    use faulty lifting equipment. Make sure the lifting equipment

    is in good condition.

    WARNINGOperating the boiler beyond its design limits can

    damage the boiler, it can also be dangerous.

    Do not operate the boiler outside its limits.Do not try to up grade the boiler performance by unapproved

    modications.

    WARNINGNon-approvedmodicationscancauseinjuryanddamage.

    Contact your Fulton dealer before modifying the boiler.

    WARNINGOnly qualied persons should be allowed to

    operate and maintain the boiler and its equipment.Boilers

    should always be drained through an approved Blowdown

    Vessel.

    WARNINGTheinstallationofGasappliancesincludingtheuesystem

    should only be carried out by Corgi

    Registered Enginee

    CAUTIONHYDRAULIC TEST - RISK OF BRITTLE FRACTURE

    Hydraulic testing requires specialist equipment and is nor-

    mally only required by engineering surveyors / inspectors.

    The material the boiler is manufactured from, has not been

    impact tested, as it is not a requirement of BS2790 (boiler

    constructionstandard). In order to ensure the material / pressure vessel

    does not suffer from brittle fracture,

    hydraulic testing should not be carried out

    below 7OC.

    WARNINGDANGER FROM HOT SURFACES

    Steam Boilers have high temperature surfaces, that if touchedmay cause serious burns. Onlycompetentandqualiedpersonnelshouldworkonorinthe

    locality of a steam boiler and ancillary equipment. Always

    ensure the working area and oor are clearofpotential

    hazards, work slowly and methodically.

    DoNOTstoreinammablematerialsneartheboiler.

    WARNINGDANGER FROM INCOMPLETE COMBUSTION

    The importance of correct burner adjustment to achive low

    emissions,safe,cleanandefcientcombustionisparamount.

    Poor combustion, where unburnt gas forms carbon monoxide

    is both a health hazard, and the potential risk to the boiler

    from overheating, caused by re-burning of the unburnt gasinthesecondaryuepasses.

    WARNINGThe importance of correct boiler water and feed water can-

    not be over emphasised, see the relevant section in this

    manual.

    CAUTIONLOW FEED WATER TEMPERATURE

    Low feed water temperature can result in thermal shock to

    the boiler pressure vessel. Return the maximum amount of

    condensate and if necessary pre-heat the feed water. If in

    doubt consult FBW.

    CAUTIONWATER SOFTENER and CHEMICAL TREATMENT

    The chemicals required to operate the water softeners and

    chemical treatment plants are NOT SUPPLIED by Fulton.It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure adequate

    supplies of chemical are available at all times (including

    commissioning).

    Costly repairs could be required should the plantoperate without chemicals or the wrong dosage of

    chemicals.

    2.5 WATER SUPPLy

    The quality of the water used in the boiler will affect the life and performance of the boiler. Feed water

    contains solids and dissolved gases, these may promote encrustations of scale; foaming, priming,

    surging; corrosion and pitting; or caustic embrittlement. To prevent this happening it is strongly

    recommended that a reputable water treatment concern is consulted prior to commissioning the

    boiler.

    Note:seeSection5WaterTreatment.

    Connect the feed water pump to the check valve

    inletwith25mm.borepipe(thismaybereduced

    to15mm.wherethedischargepipeworkisshorter

    2.6 BOILER BLOWDOWN VALVES

    There are three blowdown valves on the boiler

    (fouriftwowatergaugesetsaretted),the

    boiler blowdown valve at the rear of the boiler,

    the water column blowdown valve and the

    water gauge blowdown valve.

    All of these valves must be connected to a

    blowdown receptacle of approved design.

    Regulations exist covering such items and

    care must be taken to ensure compliance with

    these regulations. If in doubt regarding blow

    down arrangements, consult your Fulton

    agent.

    should be piped to a safe discharge point and the piping so arranged that any condensate trapped

    in the pipework will drain away from the valve.

    Note: It is recommended that the safety valve discharge pipework is installed to the requirements of

    BS806 clause 4.9.7. / BSEN 134801-1:2002

    (a) The lift pressure is indicated on the safety valve. (Do not adjust).

    (b) Thesafetyvalvettedtotheboilerisdesignedtopreventtheboilerexceedingit'sdesign

    pressure.

    (c) Any system connected to the boiler not capable of accepting boiler pressure must be

    protected by a separate safety valve set to the required pressure.

    2.9 WATER GAUGE SET (The design may vary from that illustrated)

    Numbers may vary due to individual countries regulations.

    Boilers are normally supplied with two complete water gauge sets.The water gauge blowdown

    cock should be connected to the auxiliary blowdown line from the water column blowdown valve in soft

    copper tubing. The connection to the gauge cock is DN8, 6mm (1/4in. BSP).

    2.10 GAS SUPPLy

    Verify that the burner is suitable for the type of gas being supplied. Ensure the piping from the meter

    is the correct size, and that a gas cock is inserted in the line between the boiler and the meter. To

    avoid pressure drops, eliminate all unnecessary bends and elbows in the pipework between the gas

    meter and the boiler. A scale trap is provided on the gas train and should be used.

    Burners suitable for operation on natural and manufactured gas are supplied with gas trains or a

    SECTION 33.1 GENERAL

    ThefollowinginstructionsaregivenfortheguidanceoftheoperatorintheuseoftheJSeriesgasred

    boiler and to provide adequate information to ensure that when the boiler is put into use it will be done

    safely and without risk to health. Where original equipment Service Manuals are supplied, they must

    be read and understood in conjunction with this manual. All Warnings and Cautions must be observed.

    DRyING OUT TIME

    The refractory casing of the boiler is made from a material that uses a high proportion of water

    in the mixing process. Whilst some of the water is driven off by chemical reaction and the

    initialtestring,therefractoryisstill'wet'whentheboilerisdelivered.Forafewdaysaftertheboileris

    commissioned and in service, water will be seen running from the bottom of the casing and from

    around some branch pipes.

    This is perfectl normal and part of the dring process.

    3.2 BOILER CONTROLS

    ThefollowingbriefdescriptionofthecontrolsusedontheJSeriesgasredboilerisintendedto

    provide the operator with a basic understanding of the operating principles, which is essential for the

    continuedefcientoperationoftheboiler.

    Note:Allthecontrolsareofthefail-safetypeandarewiredinseries;failureofanyonewillautomatically

    shutdowntheboiler.

    Low Water Relas and Feedwater Pump Relas. These relays operate in conjunction with probes

    suspended in the boiler and water column to automatically maintain the level of water in the boiler

    and to cut-off the burner should the water level fall to an unsafe level.

    Steam Pressure Control(s). Located on the control panel box and connected to the steam pressure

    gauge assembly by copper tube, the pressure regulator controls the on/off cycle of the burner,

    shutting the burner off when maximum pressure is reached and switching it on when the steam

    pressure falls.

    Visuallyinspectthesteamandfeedwaterpipework,valvesandttingsforsignsofleakage.Ifleaks

    are suspected shut the system down and evacuate the system to atmospheric pressure before

    attempting to repair the leaks. The following procedure should be carried out by a competent person

    to ensure the correct functioning of the water level and low water safety controls. Where possible, the

    boilershouldnotbeundersteampressureduringthesetests,(see3.6.5.g.2.).

    3.6.4 First Low Water Level

    (a) Ensure the following:

    Theburnerisring.The water level is correct in the boiler.

    The water pump is not running.

    (b) Switch the pump off (Pump Interrupt) at the pump interrupt/pump run switch.

    (c) OPEN the main blowdown valve.

    (d) When the water level nears the bottom of the water level gauge sight glass, the low water alarm

    should sound, the LOW WATER ALARM lamp should illuminate and the burner should stop

    ring.Whenthishappens,CLOSEtheblowdownvalveIMMEDIATELY.

    (e) Switch the pump to RUN at the main pump interrupt/pump run switch. The pump should run

    andrelltheboiler.Whenthewaterlevelintheboilerrisesabovetherstlowwaterlevel,the

    LOW WATER LEVEL lamp should extinguish, the audible alarm should silence and the burner

    start sequence should commence automatically.

    The pump should run until the boiler water level is correct and then stop.

    3.6.5 Overriding (2nd) Low Water Chec

    (a) Ensure the following:

    Theburnerisring.

    The water level is correct in the boiler.

    The water pump is not running.

    (b) Switch the pump off (Pump Interrupt) at the pump intrrupt / pump run switch.

    (c) OPEN the main blowdown valve.

    (d) When the water level nears the bottom of the water level gauge sight glass, the LOW WATER

    ALARM lamp should illuminate, the low water audible alarm should sound and the burner

    shouldstopring.

    (e) Continue to blow down the boiler. As the water level falls nearer the bottom of the water level

    gauge sight glass, the LOW WATER RESET switch should illuminate and the second audible

    low water alarm should sound.

    (f) CLOSE the main blowdown valve and switch the pump to RUN at the pump interrupt/pump run switch.Thewaterpumpshouldnowstarttorunandrelltheboiler.Oncelledtothecorrect

    level the pump should stop. The low water alarm should continue to sound, the LOW WATER

    RESET switch and LOW WATER ALARM lamp should remain illuminated and the burner should

    NOT start.

    (g) When the water level in the boiler is correct, the burner can be restarted by depressing the

    LOW WATER RESET switch for a maximum of 2 seconds.

    1. The First and Overriding low water checks can be carried out in one operation to reduce

    the blowdown time and possible interruption to the steam supply.

    2. Where the water level tests are to be carried out at full pressure, evaporate the waterdown to 1st. low level as in 3.8, blowdown the boiler from 1st. to 2nd. low water.

    The purpose of adopting this procedure is to prevent steam and water being expelled

    from the blowdown vessel vent because of prolonged blowdown.

    Boilers with manual blowdown valves

    CAUTION

    Your local regulations could state boiler water above 43OC must not be discharged into the drain.

    ALWAYS check your local regulations.

    1. Ensure the boiler is cold.

    2. Isolate the boiler electrics at the isolator on the control box door.

    3. Isolate the feed water tank and the feed water pump.

    4. Open the main steam valve and the boiler drain valve.

    5. Open the drain valve on the blowdown vessel.

    6. Open all valves in the drain lines.

    Boilers with automatic blowdown sstems

    1. The boiler should not be under pressure.

    The boiler should be cold.

    2. Close the blowdown isolation valve.

    3. Using a screwdriver located as shown A, push up and make a quarter turn,

    this will lock the button in position and open the blowdown valve.

    3.13 LONG TERM SHUT DOWN

    To store the boiler in a corrosion-free situation there are three practical solutions:

    1. Fullyoodtheboilertoexcludeasmuchairaspossible.

    2. Drain the boiler completely.

    Remove all hand hole and manhole doors.

    Open all gas/oil side access doors.

    3. As (2) but also introduce a form of convection heating to the gas/oil and water side.

    A very effective solution is to install a string of outdoor type waterproof light bulbs distributedthroughout the boiler.

    Motorised High/Low Control

    1.1 Description

    TheFultonmotorisedhigh/lowcontrolisdesignedtoimprovetheefciencyoftheboilerby

    switchingtheringratefromhighre(whenthereislowsteampressureintheboiler)tolowre

    (when the boiler reaches a high steam pressure).

    The systems major components comprises; two stage gas valve, motorized air damper unit and

    two stage steam pressure switch.

    CAUTIONThe adjustment of the air gate control motor or the two stage

    gas valve should only be carried out by qualied personnel,

    incorrect adjustment could result in damage to the pressurevessel and/or the production of harmful combustion gases.

    1.2 Operation

    Withthesteampressureswitchpresettothehighandlowreoperationalrequirementsofthe system, and the boiler operating normally, steam pressure will gradually increase until the high

    pressure limit is reached, the pressure switch will then switch the two stage gas valve and the air

    dampermotortothelowreposition.

    Theboilerwillcontinuetooperateatlowreuntilthesteampressurefallstothelowpressurelimit

    setting on the pressure switch, at this point, the gas valve and the air damper will switch the boiler

    intohighremode,thesequenceofhighre/lowreisregulatedautomaticallywithnoroutine

    1. Set the cams on the air damper motor to the initial position.

    Starttheboilerandwaituntilthemotorandgasvalvehavedriventohighre.

    Adjust the main (primary) air gate to achieve the best combustion with the least buffetingin the furnace.

    2. Usingthelowreholdswitch,holdtheboilerinlowre.

    thehighreinputrate.

    Note: Ifgasowrateequipmentisavailable,thelowregasinputrateshouldbeadjustedtothecorrect

    value (see fuel input rates table) by rotating the black 1st stage partial adjustment ring located below the 2nd

    stage solenoid.

    Note: These tests can be carried out consecutively, however it is possible that if the boiler is under load

    conditionsthesecondlowwateralarmwilloccurimmediatelyaftertheburnerhasshutdownonrstlow

    water, without the apparent loss of any more water. The reason is the collapse of the steam bubbles at the

    water level surface when the heat is removed. The degree of collapse could be such that the water level willdisappear from the bottom of the site glass before the alarm sounds. Should this happen the second low

    water level alarm should be checked by lowering the water level slowly by partially opening the main blow-

    down valve.

    Systems that return for example very little condensate during the day, but a high proportion at night are almost

    impossible to control with any real accuracy. At best a compromise calibration will be achieved, where too much

    blowdown at times may be the penalty.

    When installing and commissioning a new Automatic TDS Control Blowdown System, it must be accepted that

    the calibration will be a reiterative process, requiring continual sampling, testing, and re-calibration until stable

    system operating conditions are achieved.

    When purchasing an Automatic TDS Control Blowdown Sstem from Fulton Boiler Wors (Great Britain)

    Ltd, the equipment would normally be supplied with the controller wired and tted to the boiler control

    panel, with all the other parts supplied loose for piping and wiring on site b others, unless agreed

    otherwise in our order acnowledgement.

    Thepurchasepriceofthesystemsuppliedfullyorpartttedincludesforonesinglevisittocommissionthe

    system once installed. Part of the commissioning process will be the initial calibration of the TDS sensor to the

    water conditions prevailing at the time.Further re-calibration will be required until the water treatment regime has been established, and typical water

    conditions have been achieved. Routine calibration checks will be required as part of the site maintenance and

    water treatment monitoring.

    The equipment, staff training required to carry out TDS sampling, and calibration can be provided by Fulton

    BoilerWorks(GreatBritain)Ltd.ifrequired.Inordertoachievethemaximumbenetfromtheinstallationofan

    Automatic TDS Blowdown System, it is strongly recommended that site personnel be provided with the neces-

    sary equipment, and training in order for them to fully understand the function of the system, and the possible

    consequences of their actions.

    Note:- Where Automatic TDS Blowdown systems are provided as part of a skid mounted or packaged plant

    room unit, they will be fully installed piped and wired.

    e.g. Hourly blowdown rate required to maintain a boiler TDS of 2000

    with a feed water TDS of 200 = 12%
