4. Air control system
Diaphragm type compression tank is used to control system
pressure. It must be installed at the boiler or between boiler
and supply main pump(s).
An automatic air vent is used to remove air from the system
in Figure 17. If system pressure needs further control, add
an additional tank in parallel with original tank or install a
larger capacity tank. Use appropriate size tank for volume of
water in system. See chart for boiler’s volume.
5. Cold Water Fill
Pressure reducing (fill) valve and shut-off valve should be
installed.
6. Relief Valve Discharge Piping
Use same size or larger piping than valve outlet. Must termi-
nate 6" minimum from floor with a plain (no threads) end.
Place a bucket under pressure relief valve discharge. Make
sure discharge is always visible. DO NOT hard-pipe to drain
piping.
7. Providing Protection from Freezing
Anti-freeze is sometimes used in hydronic heating systems to
protect against freeze-up in the event of power failure or
control shutdown when the building is unoccupied. It should
be recognized that unless the building is kept above freezing
temperature by some means, the plumbing system is not
protected. Two types of anti-freeze may be used: ETHYLENE
GLYCOL, used in automobiles, has desirable properties, but is
toxic. Its use maybe prohibited when system water/glyco
solution is in contact with a potable water vessel (as an
indirect hot water heater with built-in heating coils). PROPY-
LENE GLYCOL is used in the quick-freeze food industry; it is
practically non-toxic. Its use maybe permitted when system
solution is in contact with a potable water vessel. When anti-
freeze must be used, inhibited propylene glycol is recom-
mended. Useful information on the characteristics, mixing
proportions, etc. of glycol in heating systems is given in
Technical Topics No. 2A, available from the Hydronics Institute,
34 Russo Place, Berkeley Heights, NJ 07922. Consult glycol
manufacturers for sources of propylene glycol.
8. Water Treatment
A good water treatment program will not only extend the use-
ful life of this boiler but it will also save much of the time and
expense of repairs made necessary by preventable occur-
rences. A reputable water treatment company should be con-
sulted to evaluate and determine the best overall treatment
program for your boiler equipment.
PIPING A HEATING - COOLING SYSTEM TO A WATER
BOILER AND CHILLER
Figure 18 illustrates a method of piping a heating-cooling system
to a water boiler and a chiller. Hand valves (shown) or automatic
valves must be installed to prevent circulation of chilled water in
the boiler or hot water in the chiller.
The air control system and pressure control system must operate
with chiller only, or the boiler only, being valved to the piping sys-
tem. Separate control devices on the boiler and chiller may be
used, or a single set of air and pressure controls on the common
piping may be preferred.
If the boiler is used to supply hot water to heating coils in air han-
dling units, flow control valves or other devices must be installed
to prevent gravity circulation of water in the coils during the cool-
ing cycle.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
I. Filling and Venting Water Systems
A. Fill the system with water. Vent or purge of air.
B.
Fire the boiler as soon as possible (see following warning
and instructions) and bring water temperature in the system.
C. Vent air and add water as needed to achieve operating
pressure on boiler gauge. Pressure must be between
approximately 12 psi (cold water) and 25 psi at water tem-
perature setting of high limit control, for boilers equipped
with 30 psi relief valves. Boilers rated for a higher pressure
and equipped with a matching relief valve may operate at
a higher pressure, but no higher than 5 psi below the relief
valve opening pressure.
D. Check for and repair any leaks before placing system in
service.
BEFORE FIRING BOILER, make these checks:
1. System is full of water. Air is vented or purged.
2. Relief valve is installed in accordance with ASME Boiler
and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV. Valve opening is
not closed or reduced in size.
3. Venting is installed according to instructions under “FLUE
GAS VENTING REQUIREMENTS”.
4.
All wiring is completed, following applicable wiring diagrams.
5. Using soap solution, check for gas leaks in all gas pip-
ing from meter to boiler pilot and manifold. DO NOT
use open flame.
