Internal corrosion can be prevented By maine taining the feedwater at a pil of 8 to 9 and the dissolved oxygen content at 0. This {avolves the use of deserating heaters or condensers and the Anjection of chemicals into the feedvater upstream from the econemizers for cxygen scavenging and pil control. The injection point must be far enough avay to alloy complete oxygen scavenging before entering the scononizer External corrosion is a function of the sulfur, hydrogen, and moisture in the fuel, economizer metal temperatures, and method of firing. Heine ‘ining metal temperature above the minimum shown in the folloviag cutve for a given percentage of sulfur in the fuel should prevent external corrosion. Yor all practical purposes, econoaizer metal temperature is the ase as water temperature. ‘Therefore, metal temperature con be mai 4 by providing proper feedvater tenperatures.

A controlled capacitor diecharge produces a high temperature arc that will ignite fuel oils more efficiently than a gas or torch ignitor. ‘The 76-90 Power Pack supplies high voltage D.C. to the power arc ignitor where it charges a capacitor in the power head. when the capacitor is charged to a preset level, it discharges through a gas filled ‘Spark Gap’ to the arc tip, where the electric energy is dispersed in the form of a high temperature arc, which lights the oiT, ‘This cycle repeats approximately 15 times/sec. The energy output is rated in Joules. A Joule is equal to one watt~ second. Each pulse of the Ignitor disperses 12 Joules of energy. Since the duration of each pulse is approximately 6 microseconds, the power output of each pulse is 2 megawatts. Model 476-90 Power Pack coupled with a 12 joule Ignitor will draw ¢80 watts. ‘hie ie a Heavy Duty system: The 76-90 Power Pack is capable of running continuously. Storag For long-tern storage it is advisable to store the Ignitor in a heated y to minimize condensation build-up. Normal temperature (-20 degrees F to +180 degrees F) will not affect the unit. However, if it is suspected that the unit has seen excess water or tenperatures, it is advisable to trouble-shoot the system outlined under the "No Spark" section or to return the unit for evaluation before a startup is tried. Installation & Initial Checkout Since the Ignitor will be moving in and out during normal operation, fone should insure that the Ignitor will not hit any physical obstruc~ Gions such as the burner's diffuser on insert and over nead obstruc- tions on retraction. Algo, one should anticipate outside clearance for removing the Ignitor as well as the thermal expansion of the boiler tubes with respect to the foundation. Positioning of the Ignitor should be done according to the burner manufacturer's reconmendation. Generally speaking, one wants to insert the Ignitor into a volital fuel-air zone and retract it into a relatively cold zone. The inserted arc tip should intersect the Gil spray at as perpendicular en engle es possible. It is best to operate the Ignitor and its control system before a Light-off is actually tried, This can often be accomplished by manually shutting off the oil valve and by by-passing various inter- locks.
