Cleaning boiler heat exchanger
For recommended materials; including brush, appropriate
extension(s), refractory cover, and detailed instructions see
Table 12B - Heat Exchanger Cleaning Kits.
1. Shut
down
boiler:
• Follow the “To Turn Off Gas to Appliance” instructions
for the boiler in Section 10 - Startup.
• Do not drain the boiler unless it will be exposed to
freezing temperatures. If using freeze prevention fluid
in system, do not drain.
2. Allow time for the boiler to cool to room temperature if
it has been firing.
3. Remove the bolts securing the fan to the heat exchanger
access cover. Remove the fan.
4. Remove the nuts securing the heat exchanger access cover
to the heat exchanger and set aside.
5. Remove the heat exchanger access cover, burner, and
gas/air arm assembly.
6. Remove the condensate hose from the heat exchanger end.
Connect a field supplied 3/4" diameter hose to a drain pan.
Using field supplied means, cover the refractory in the back
of the combustion chamber of the heat exchanger.
7. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any accumulation on the
boiler heating surfaces. Do not use any solvent.
8. Brush the heat exchanger while dry using a nylon bristle
brush.
Caution:
DO NOT use a metal brush. Re-vacuum
the heat exchanger.
9. Finish cleaning using a clean cloth dampened with warm
water. Rinse out debris with a low pressure water supply.
10. Allow the heat exchanger to thoroughly dry.
11. Remove the field supplied rear refractory cover from the
back of the combustion chamber of the heat exchanger and
reassemble.
12. Close isolation valves on piping to isolate boiler from
system. Attach a hose to the boiler drain and flush boiler
thoroughly with clean water by using purging valves to
allow water to flow through the water make-up line to the
boiler.
