GOLD CGi Gas-Fired Water Boiler — Boiler Manual
Prepare boiler location — air contamination
Table 1
Corrosive or destructive contaminants and likely locations
1d
Please review the following information on potential
combustion air contamination problems.
Refer to
Table 1
for products and areas which may cause
contaminated combustion air.
CONSTRUCTION DUST HAZARD
— Airborne particulates, such as drywall dust
or fiberglass dust, will cause blockage of the CGi burners, resulting in carbon monoxide
production, a fire hazard, or building freeze damage. If the boiler is operated during
construction, you must isolate the boiler to provide clean air for combustion.
If you are
unable to ensure uncontaminated air in the boiler vicinity at all times, you must
inspect the boiler at least once weekly
. When inspecting, clean the burners if necessary
using the procedure given on page 45. Failure to follow these guidelines could result in
severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
Products to avoid
Areas likely to have contaminants
Spray cans containing chloro/fluorocarbons
Dry cleaning/laundry areas and establishments
Permanent wave solutions
Swimming pools
Chlorinated waxes/cleaners
Metal fabrication plants
Chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals
Beauty shops
Calcium chloride used for thawing
Refrigeration repair shops
Sodium chloride used for water softening
Photo processing plants
Refrigerant leaks
Auto body shops
Paint or varnish removers
Plastic manufacturing plants
Hydrochloric acid/muriatic acid
Furniture refinishing areas and establishments
Cements and glues
New building construction
Antistatic fabric softeners used in clothes dryers
Remodeling areas
Chlorine-type bleaches, detergents, and cleaning
solvents found in household laundry rooms
Garages with workshops
Adhesives used to fasten building products and
other similar products
Buildings under construction (where air is
contaminated with particulates)
Airborne particulates (drywall dust, fiberglass
particles, road or gravel dust, lint, etc.)
To prevent potential of severe personal injury or death, check for products or areas listed
below before installing boiler. If any of these contaminants are found:
• remove contaminants permanently
— OR —
• isolate boiler and provide outside combustion air. See national, provincial or local codes
for further information.
