OPERATING THE BOILER
NOTICE: Although your new Columbia Boiler has been test fired at the factory, it must
be “set up” for the conditions at your location. Improper combustion settings
may cause the burner to operate erratically, resulting in boiler shutdowns, lost
time, and unnecessary service expenses.
PRE-START CHECKS AND INFORMATION
A new or relocated boiler should not be put into service until it has been inspected by an
authorized inspector for the jurisdiction or the insurance company, and the required certifi-
cates have been issued.
Whenever a new boiler is placed in service, operating data should be recorded and saved
for future reference. This information is extremely valuable for diagnosing problems if
abnormal operation occurs. Record all operating parameters such as pressures, stack tem-
peratures, oxygen or carbon dioxide levels, flows, draft, motor amps, damper positions,
and interlock set points. A burner start up and test information sheet has been included at
the end of this section for your convenience.
The Gauge Glass Protector must be properly installed prior to operating the boiler, and all
cover plates, enclosures, and safety devices must be installed at all times except while per-
forming maintenance and service.
The fuel supply should not be turned on until the combustion chamber has been vented and
the pilot light (if gas ignited) checked for proper operation.
All blowdown valves, including water column drain valves, gauge glass drain valves, and
gauge cocks should be closed.
The safety valves should be inspected externally to see that they are free to operate, and
that the discharge piping and drain piping are open to the atmosphere, and free to
expand without imposing a load on the safety valve bodies. Make sure the safety valve is
piped to a safe location to prevent injury.
The boiler feed pump(s) should be checked to ensure that they are ready for service. Check
the data on rating plates of all electrical equipment to be certain the electrical characteris-
tics match those of the electric supply to which they are connected.
All Columbia boiler company CT Series boilers are test fired at the factory, however, before
attempting start-up, carefully study the instructions included in the burner section of this
manual.
It is important to have the proper test equipment in order to adjust the combustion and pilot
if equipped. Those items that may be required include a manometer, microammeter, vacu-
