OM9210_11#A.2 BOILING OUT Boiling out Boiling out Before putting the boiler into opetation for the first time, it should be boiled out to remove all protecting remedies and impurities on the boiler waterside. The boiling out procedure is recommended to be carried out as described below: Caution: Extreme care should be taken while handling the chemicals. The person handling the chemicals/solution should be properly dressed/protected. Step A: Fill the boiler with a solution consisting of 4-5 kg trisodiumphosphate NasPOs per 1000 kg water. The chemicals can be added through the man- hole. Step B: Add feed water until the solution is visible in the water gauges above “lower ‘water level”. Step C: Close the feed water valve (pump stopped): ‘aution: Do never fill feed water into the boiler if the temperature difference between boiler and feed water exceeds 50°C. Step D:_ Raise steam pressure slowly to working pressure, and keep the pressure for approx. 3-4 hours with closed main steam valve. Step E: Scum until water level is between “Normal water level” and “High water level”. By this procedure grease and other impurities are removed from the internal surfaces of the boiler. Step F: Start skimming by opening the scum valve, and lower the water level to lower edge of "Normal water level” mark, Step G: Close the scum valve. Step H: Refill the boiler with feed water and start skimming again in intervals of 30 minutes for a period of two hours. Stop the boiling out procedure by switching off the bumer. Let the boiler water rest for about five minutes. Carry out a final skimming. Blow off the boiler water by opening the blow down valves. : Remember to open the air escape valve, to avoid a vacuum in the boiler when the boiler pressure decreases to approx. depressurised/atmospheric pressure. Open the manhole and let the boiler cool down to approx. 100°C. : The boiler is to be flushed with clean water on the boiler waterside, when the temperature has decreased. The flushing removes remaining impurities, f 2/7 Usgaaze Uk NVOM9210_11#A.2 BOILING OUT Step P: Dismantle the bottom blow down valves, for cleaning and inspection be- cause deposits/foreign substances will usually be accumulated in these valves and cause leaking if not cleaned. Step Qz Inspect the boiler and remove any remaining deposits and foreign substan- Step Ri Finally, new gaskets to be fitted in all hand- and manholes before refilling the boiler with water to upper edge of “Low water level”. The boiler is now ready to be taken into service. Note: During the first two weeks in operation we recommend to carry out fre- quently skimming and bottom blow down to remove impurities entering the boiler from the pipe system. Language UK 13/7
