APPLIANCE INSPECTION AND SET-UP
A. INCOMING INSPECTION
1. Check for completeness of unit including parts, accessories, installation
and operating instructions, drawings and specifications etc. Note any
discrepancies or missing parts or information.
2. Check for shipping damage. If damage has occurred, notify the
laboratory manager. In some cases, repairs may be made, provided the
manufacturer and laboratory manager concur that repairs will not affect
the unit’s performance. If damage is irrepairable, a new unit will need to
be obtained.
3. Note whether unit is catalytic of non-catalytic.
4. Mark unit with manufacturer’s name, model number, work order number
and date received.
5. If unit is safety listed, note label data including listing agency and serial
number. If unit is not listed, mark all data sheets “UNLISTED”. Test
results will not be released until unit passes safety tests without
modification unless authorized by laboratory manager.
B. UNIT SET-UP
1. All new units must be operated for a breaking in period as follows.
a) Non-catalytic units: Ten (10) hours at medium burn rate with
Douglas Fir scrap or cordwood.
b) Catalytic units: Fifty (50) hours at medium burn rate with
Douglas Fir scrap or cordwood.
During these break-in runs the unit may be connected to a lab chimney
and fuel additions noted into the corresponding data acquisition file. For
catalytic units, a thermocouple must be installed in the catalyst.
Record catalyst temperature at 1-hour intervals or on chart recorder.
Operating should continue until data shows at least fifty (50) hours of
operation with catalyst temperature in excess of 800 degrees Fahrenheit
(active range).
For non-catalytic units a stack thermocouple should be installed and stack
temperature recorded at 1-hour intervals. Ten (10) hours minimum burn
time with a stack temperature of at least 250 degrees Fahrenheit is
required.
2. Once break-in is completed, allow unit to cool. Clean unit thoroughly.
