Tft Series Installation and Operation Instructions
│
Trinity
33
Carbon Monoxide
- Never leave the unit operating while producing Carbon Monoxide
(CO) concentrations in excess of 175ppm. Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious injury or death.
Manifold Pressure
- DO NOT adjust or measure the Manifold Pressure of the boiler.
Correct manifold pressure is factory set. Field adjustment could result in improper burner
operation resulting in fire, explosion, property damage or death.
Adjustments to the Throttle / Input Screw may only be made by a qualified gas
technician, while using a calibrated combustion analyzer capable of measuring CO
2
and
CO. Adjustments may only be performed if the gas line pressure is maintained above
minimum levels throughout the duration of the test, see Table 9-1. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in serious injury or death.
Adjustment
Throttle / Input Screw Adjustments -
The boiler is equipped with a Throttle/Input Adjustment Screw, located
on the Gas Valve and Venturi Assembly. It is used to adjust the flow of gas leaving the gas valve entering the
Venturi and then the combustion air stream. Turn the adjustment screw in (clockwise) to reduce the flow of
gas, make combustion leaner, and reduce the concentration of CO
2
in the flue gases. To increase the CO
2
level
and flow of gas in the combustion air stream, adjust the Throttle screw out (counterclockwise).
Tft60-250 Adjustments -
The throttle screw for models Tft60-250 is a multiple turn valve. Typical adjustment
required for Natural Gas is 0-1 full turns in or out from the factory setting. Typical adjustment for LP Gas is
0-3 full turns in or out from the factory setting upon inserting the LP orifice as per the applicable Propane
conversion instructions. See Figure 9-1 for throttle screw location.
Tft300-399 Adjustments -
The throttle screw for the Tft300-399 is a geared valve with a 4:1 ratio. Adjusting the
throttle screw 4 complete turns will return the valve to the original location, 2 turns from fully open will
completely close the valve. Typical adjustment required is 0-1/4 turn in or out from the factory setting. See
Figure 9-2 for throttle screw location.
Combustion Calibration
- To calibrate burner operation, perform the following procedure using a calibrated
combustion analyzer capable of measuring CO
2
and CO from Natural and Propane Gas burning boilers:
1.
Operate the unit at the maximum modulation rate, see Table 9-2.
2.
Ensure the gas line pressure is maintained within tolerance, see Table 9-1.
3.
While at the maximum modulation rate, measure the CO
2
and CO; adjust as necessary, using the Throttle
Screw, to be within the limits listed in Table 9-1.
4.
Operate the unit at the minimum modulation rate (Table 9-2). Ensure the combustion remains smooth and
CO
2
and CO remain within the limits (Table 9-1). If not, do not adjust further, contact NTI for assistance.
Flue Gas Analysis and Adjustment
Each Trinity Tft is factory set to operate with Natural Gas, for boilers field converted to operate with Propane
Gas, a flue gas analysis and adjustment is mandatory. See Table 7-1 and Propane conversion instructions.
Failure to perform the flue gas analysis and adjustment detailed in this section may result
in erratic and unreliable burner operation, leading to reduced efficiency, increased fuel
consumption, reduced component life, heat exchanger combustion deposits, and general
unsafe operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or
death.
Analysis
– Perform flue gas analysis, and adjust throttle/input screw as required until CO
2
and CO levels are
within acceptable limits.
