A. ACCESSIBILITY CLEARANCES

1. Clearances for service and from combustible surfacesare the same for the LCE as for the LC. Thefollowing recommendations allow for reasonableaccess to the boiler. Follow local codes andrequirements when setting actual layout. SeeFigure 1.1.a) For installing, removing and servicing the burner:

provide 48" between the front of the boiler andany adjacent wall or other appliance.

b) For access to the top of the boiler for cleaningflueways: provide 24" above top of jacket.

c) For accessing and servicing of level controls andinspection tappings (if used): provide 24"minimum from the right side of the boiler to anywall or obstruction.

d) For installation of jacket: provide at least 12"from the left side of the boiler to any wall orobstruction. More clearance may be needed forlonger boilers unless the jacket is pre-assembledbefore placing the boiler.

e) For installation and removal of tankless heaters:provide 45" between the end of the boiler andany adjacent wall of obstruction. [This providesfor all available tankless coils. The spacing canbe closer for Heater Number X-1020 (allow 30")or Heater Number X-1021 (allow 35")].

The equipment must be installed in accordance with installation requirements of the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, to the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54.

Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, the installation must conform to American Society ofMechanical Engineers Safety Code for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, ASME CSD-1.

NOTICE

PREINSTALLATION

1. PREINSTALLATION

Carefully read these instructions before beginning work. Understand all aspects of the installation. Contact your PB Heat, LLCsales representative or customer service for help in answering questions.

This boiler must be installed by a qualified contractor. The boiler warranty can be voided if the boiler is not installed correctly.

Figure 1.1: Clearance Requirements

Page 5: Series LC/LCE - America's BEST Built Boiler...cap which can control wind effects. 5. This boiler is designed to fire only with a pressurized fire box. The breeching and vent may be

B. CLEARANCE FROM COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTIONProvide the following minimum clearances tocombustible construction. See Figure 1.1.

1. Sides: 6"2. Rear of Jacket: 6"3. Front of Jacket: 24"4. Top of Jacket: 24"5. Steam and Hot Water Pipes: 6"6. Vent or Chimney Connector: 18"

C. COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR

1. The installation must provide adequate air forcombustion and ventilation.

2. Unless the boiler room construction and natural airinfiltration are sure to provide all the air needed,provide an opening or duct to the outside with a freecross sectional area of at least 1 square inch per4000 Btuh input for all installed appliances. At highaltitude, increase this requirement 4% for each 1000feet above sea level.

3. The boiler room must never be under negativepressure. If exhaust fans or other equipment cancause a negative pressure in the boiler room, the airopenings and equipment design must be engineeredto assure a neutral or slightly positive pressure in theboiler room at all times of operation. If theequipment design and air openings cannot assurethis, then the boiler must be located in an isolatedroom.

4. Using combustion air dampers:a) If motorized dampers are used on the

combustion and ventilation air openings, wirethem such that they must open when the boilertries to operate. They must include a switchwhich prevents the boiler from operating if theydo not open. See Figure 1.2.

D. CHIMNEY OR VENT

1. Inspect the existing chimney or vent system. Makesure it is in good condition. Inspect chimney linerand repair or replace if necessary.

2. The vent system and installation must be inaccordance with the current edition of the AmericanNational Standard ANSI/NFPA 211, “Chimneys,Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel BurningAppliances”, or applicable provisions of the localbuilding codes. The venting requirements for theLCE are the same as for the LC. Figure 1.3 showsthe top flue outlet required on LCE boilers.

3. Chimney/Vent Operation: The vent system must besized and installed to remove all combustionproducts. If the vent system is not sized properly, theburner may not operate properly. This can causepoor combustion or sooting to occur.

4. If the vent terminates in an area where wind-generated downdrafts are likely, install a suitable ventcap which can control wind effects.

5. This boiler is designed to fire only with a pressurizedfire box. The breeching and vent may be sized fornegative, neutral or positive pressure (no more than0.l inches water column at the boiler outlet) asdesired. But negative pressure overfire can causelifting of the flame and poor combustion oroverheating of the boiler crown sheet.

6. Forced draft breechings and vents must be sealedand of heavy gauge steel construction and mustcomply with all applicable codes of construction.

7. The vent diameter and minimum height for stubvents are listed in the Ratings and DimensionsSection of this manual. Always extend ventterminations at least 3 feet above the roof line. SeeFigure 1.3.

8. Exterior Vents:a) Insulate sufficiently to ensure adequate draft and

to prevent vent damage due to condensation.

9. Vent Connection to Boiler:a) Support the weight of the vent system

independently of the boiler flue connection.

b) Provide support of the vent connector(breeching) at maximum 12 foot intervals toprevent sagging and to provide a minimumupward slope of 1/4" per foot.

10. Do not vent natural draft appliances in a combinedvent which operates under positive pressure.

11. Draft Regulator: Install a barometric draft regulatorwhere using high chimney or any high draft vent.This is needed to prevent causing negative draft inthe boiler. Excess draft will cause flame lifting andpossible impingement.

12. The Draft Damper for the LCE boiler is a separatepiece, shipped in the Top Flue Outlet Carton.a) Install the Draft Damper as close as possible to

the boiler flue outlet. It can be installed verticallyor horizontally provided that the connecting ventpiping and fittings are designed and installed forpressurized service.

b) Secure the damper to the vent with screws andseal the joints with a bead of high temperaturesilicone sealant (found in Section Assembly Kits).

c) The vent must be installed so it can bedisconnected and the Top Flue Outlet removedfor proper cleaning of the flueways.

E. BOILER SETTING

1. If the boiler room floor is not level or if additionalstructural support is needed, provide a good, levelfoundation for the boiler with the minimumdimensions given in Table 1.1. The flooring andstructural support system must be suitable for theoperating weight of the boiler and any connectedpiping. Place the Steel Channels on the foundationas shown in Figure 1.4.

2. Do not operate the boiler until the foundation, if newconcrete, has thoroughly cured. The concrete mightbe damaged if heated too quickly due to theentrained moisture remaining.

3. If the boiler is installed in a penthouse or if wiring ofany sort is run underneath the boiler foundation,construct the foundation with provision for air flowunderneath between the main floor and the top ofthe boiler foundation.a) An acceptable foundation would be concrete

blocks laid with the openings lined up.

Do not install this boiler on carpeting or anycombustible flooring. A significant fire hazard couldresult, with potential for property damage, personalinjury or death.

16. To properly assemble LC/LCE sections in the field,the following steps must be followed to ensure thatno damage occurs to the tie rod lugs. A 0-100 ft-lbstorque wrench is required.a. Use a spirit level as shown in Figure 2.4 to check

the alignment of the sections as the nuts aredrawn up. Keep the sections plumb.

b. Draw the sections together evenly, in threerotations. Torque each port to 20 ft-lbs for thefirst rotation, then to 40 ft-lbs for the secondrotation, then to 60 ft-lbs for the third rotation.Use the following sequence until all three portstouch metal-to-metal at 60 ft-lbs. See Figure 2.7for port reference.

i) First: Lower Top Port

ii) Second: Bottom Port

iii) Third: Upper Top Port

c. Tighten these (3) three locations only to a torquevalue of 60 ft-lbs. DO NOT EXCEED.

d. After the three ports have been tightened to 60ft-lbs, tighten the draw rod at the bumping padsuntil metal-to-metal contact is reached. This willassure a proper gas tight seal and prevent theproducts of combustion from migrating into theboiler room.

17. Repeat with the remaining sections.a. Save the LWCO Intermediate with two 1"

tappings (for level control) for use as the sectionclosest to the front section.

b. Place the Intermediate Section with 3" toptapping (Tapped Intermediate) in the positiongiven in Figure 2.9.

21

A. PREPARATION

1. The boiler must be pressure tested as outlined in thechapter “Place the Boiler Sections” of this manual.

2. The Supply and Return piping can be installedbefore installing the jacket. Use nipples long enoughto extend through the jacket.

B. SUPPLY AND RETURN PIPING

1. See Figure 3.3 for piping illustration.

2. Install Top connections sized per Table 3.1.a) Model LC-04 requires one riser off the Rear

Section. Plug the 4" tapping in the top of theFront Section.

b) Models LC-05 through LC-10 require two risers,one off the Front and one off the Rear Section.

c) Models LC-11 and LC-12 require three risers,one each off the Front and Rear Sections plusone off the Tapped Intermediate Section.

d) LCE models require three or more risers.

3. Size the Header per Table 3.1. Pipe the header atleast 24 inches above the normal boiler water line.See Figure 3.1. This is required to prevent waterfrom carrying over into the header and then to thesystem.

4. Figure 3.3 shows the Supply and Return piping forParallel Flow Gravity systems and all Pumped ReturnSystems.

5. Counterflow Gravity systems require the boiler steamline to enter the top of the steam main. SeeFigure 3.2 for this special case.

6. Do not reduce the size or number of risersshown. These are required for reliable operation ofthe boiler. If the risers are undersized or incorrectlyplaced, a sloped water line can occur in the boiler,causing possible overheating of some sections.

7. Pipe the Header with an offset as shown in thedrawings. This offset prevents the expansion andcontraction of the Header from damaging the boilersections.

8. Always locate the Steam Supply take-offbetween the Equalizer and the last BoilerRiser. (See PB Heat, LLC's “Steam InstallationSurvey” for discussion). Locating the steam supplybetween the risers will cause water carryover to thesystem.

9. Do not use a bull head tee to provide steam supplyand equalizer connections. This will cause water levelbounce and carryover.

C. LOW SYSTEM TEMPERATURE

1. The use of a Hartford loop is recommended in allinstallations. See Figure 3.1. The loop providesadditional reliability for the system.

2. A check valve must still be installed on the pumpdischarge of all pumped return systems.

3. PIPE THE BOILER

22

3. On pumped return systems, install a boiler cock afterthe pump to allow throttling of the pump discharge.The pressure after the boiler cock should be no morethan 5 psig above the boiler operating pressure.Pumping the water into the boiler too fast will causecollapse of the water level and level control problems.

4. Size the equalizer per Table 3.1. Models LC-11, LC-12 and LCE-13 through LCE 24 require two returnconnections to the boiler off of the equalizer line.

5. Pipe the Hartford loop tee so the inside top of theclose nipple is 2 to 4 inches below the normal boilerwater line. See Figure 3.1.

6. If the pump discharge is looped overhead, above theboiler water line, install spring-loaded check valves atboth the pump discharge and the connection to theboiler return.

D. MULTIPLE BOILER INSTALLATIONS

1. Figure 3.4 shows typical piping for multiple boilerGravity Return systems. Figure 3.5 show typicalpiping for multiple boiler Pumped Return Systems.

2. Provide separate feed lines for multiple boilerpumped return systems. Use either separate feedpumps or solenoid or motorized valves to isolatefeeding of the boilers. This is needed to providereliable level control and avoid nuisanceperformance problems.

3. Condensate return units are not effective for multipleboiler installations since they do not respond to theneeds of the boilers. always use Boiler Feed Units.

4. Install a Float and Thermostatic trap at the boilerwater level on each of the mulitple boilers on apumped return system. This prevents flooding of idleboilers due to condensation of steam.

2. Install piping to allow removal of burner and accessto combustion chamber for cleaning or service.

B. INSTALL FUEL OIL PIPING

1. Place the fuel oil tank and install the piping inaccordance with NFPA-31 and all other applicablecodes.

2. General Guidelines for Oil Pipinga) Follow the guidelines in the Burner Manual for

sizing oil lines. Never use smaller than 1/2" ODcopper tubing.

b) Install manual shut-off valves on the suction lineat the burner and at the oil line entrance to thebuilding. If installing a shut-off valve on thereturn line, you must provide an oil pressurerelief valve piped ahead of the shut-off valve anddischarged to the tank to prevent over-pressureconditions.

c) Install a two-pipe oil distribution system whenpossible. It will improve the reliability of the oildelivery to the burner.

d) Use flare fittings when using copper tubing.

e) Provide an oil line filter in the suction line. Sizethe filter for the suction gear capacity of theburner oil pump if running a two-pipe system.

f) If burner is above the top of the fuel oil tank,install a check valve on the oil suction line at theburner to prevent oil from evacuating the line. Ifburner is below the top of the tank, install ananti-siphon device to prevent oil flow should theoil line break.

C. INSTALL GAS SUPPLY PIPING

1. Size the piping as required by the National Fuel GasCode, ANSI Z223.1 or as required by local codes.a) Use Table 7.1 for sizing of natural gas for a

system pressure drop of 0.3 inch water column.

2. The standard gas train is designed for a maximumpressure of 1/2 psig (14 inches water column). Makesure the system regulator will not allow a higherpressure to the Gas Control Train under anyconditions.

3. The minimum gas supply pressure is listed on theBurner Rating Plate. Make sure the system regulatorand the piping are sized and adjusted properly toprovide this pressure under all conditions.

4. Install a Service Valve, Sediment Trap and GroundJoint Union at the supply connection to the GasControl Train as shown in Figure 7.1. These are notsupplied with the boiler. Install them in accordancewith local codes.

5. Use only pipe joint compounds rated for use withLiquefied Petroleum Gases.

A. CHECK THE PIPING

1. Steam Pipinga) The Boiler must have been hydrostatically tested.

b) Check the attached piping for joint tightness.

c) Continue monitoring as you proceed throughstart up.

2. Gas Pipinga) Make sure the gas system piping and the

connections to the boiler Gas Control Train(s)have been leak tested.

b) After the boiler is in operation, check thetightness of all joints in the boiler gas piping witha soap suds solution.

c) Purge the gas piping of all air up to the boilerGas Control Train.

3. Oil Pipinga) Check the oil piping visually. Make sure all joints

are tight.

b) When the burner is firing, check the suction lineand return line pressures.

c) If the pressure exceeds the allowable pressure inthe Burner Manual or if the suction line vacuumis higher than allowable, correct the piping asneeded to bring the suction line and return linepressures within acceptable range.

d) Excess pressure can cause pump seal failures.Excess vacuum will cause fuel flow problemswith the burner oil pump.

B. FILL THE BOILER

1. Fill the boiler to the normal water line.a) Gravity Systems and Pumped Return with

Condensate Units – Fill to 46¹⁄₂" above the boilerfoundation (center of gauge glass).

b) Pumped Return with Boiler Feed Unit - Fill theboiler using the boiler feed unit. Fill level willdepend on the control being used, but should be46¹⁄₂" above the boiler foundation (just belowcenter of gauge glass) when the pump stops.

C. RUN BURNER CHECK-OUT

1. Before firing the burner, slide the Slide Gate Damperon the rear flue box all the way down (full open) onLC’s or open the LCE Draft Damper until the handleis parallel to the vent pipe (full open).

2. Follow the instructions in the Burner Manual forstarting the burner, adjusting air openings and fuelrates. Perform ignition system and flame supervisorycontrol test and checkout as described in the manual.

3. After burner is set at rate, close the damper until thepressure reading at the test opening in the rear flue boxor draft damper is between 0" wc and 0.1" wc positive.See Table 9.1 for typical overfire pressure (measuredat the burner front plate) and boiler draft loss.

When a barometric draft regulator is installed in theventing system, adjust the boiler damper for 0" wcpressure reading at the damper. Adjust the draftregulator for -0.05" wc draft between the boilerdamper and the draft regulator.

4. Adjust the burner as needed for a CO2 reading of:a) Oil burners: CO2 approximately 12.5% or 1%

less than the level at which the smoke readinggoes above a trace on the Bacharach scale.

b) Gas burners: 9% to 10% with CO less than 50 ppm.

5. Inspect all flue gas joints (sections, attachments,breeching and vent) for gas tightness. Remove thejacket panels in order to thoroughly inspect all ropeseal joints between the sections.

D. CHECK BOILER CONTROLS

1. Limit and Operating Temperature Controlsa) Lower the setting of each control until the burner

shuts down.

2. Low Water Cutoffsa) Test probe type controls by using the Push-to-Test

Button.

b) Test float type controls.

3. Follow additional instructions in the Burner Manualfor proving the burner component operation.

4. Check all controls to make sure they functioncorrectly.

5. After all controls have been proven, set theOperating and High Limit Temperature Controls tothe temperatures desired.

E. CLEAN THE BOILER

1. Clean the boiler as described below no later thanone week after the initial start-up. Cleaning will bemore effective if the boiler operates a day or two toloosen sediment and impurities in the system.

9. STARTING THE BOILER

STARTING THE BOILER

Cleaning the boiler requires the use of very hot waterand corrosive chemicals. Use care when handling toprevent injury.

WARNING

On installations with high draft, do not leave theboiler with a negative draft reading at the rear fluebox or draft damper. High negative draft can pull theflame up into the boiler crown sheet and overheat theiron. This can result in cracked sections or shortenedboiler life.

CAUTION

40

2. The boiler must be cleaned to remove anyaccumulation of oil, grease, sludge, etc. that may bein the system. These substances can cause foamingand surging of the boiler water, producing unstablewater line and water carryover to the system.

3. The piping for a 2" Skim Valve must be done asshown in this manual, with the skim valve mountedoff the Pop Safety Valve tee on the rear of the boiler.

4. Use common washing soda (such as Arm and HammerSuper Washing Soda). Mix the soda with water in a 10quart pail. Use a proportion of one pound of washingsoda for each 800 square feet EDR net boiler rating.Remove the Pop Safety Valve and pour the washingsoda solution into the boiler through the Pop SafetyValve tee. Replace Pop Safety Valve.

5. Connect a 2 inch drain line off of the Skim Valve,run to a point of safe discharge.

6. Close all valves to the system. Provide a means ofcontinuous fresh water to the boiler for the cleaningprocess.

7. Open the Skim Valve. Fill the boiler until waterbegins to flow out of the valve.

8. Turn burner on and allow the boiler water to heat upto just below steaming (180° to 200° F). Cycle theburner to maintain temperature during skimming. Donot allow the boiler to steam. Steaming mixes up thecontaminants in the water instead of floating them atthe surface.

9. Open the make-up water valve to continuously feedwater to the boiler. Allow water to flow out the skimtapping.

10. Continue skimming the boiler until the water flowingfrom the skim tapping flows clear. This will takesome time, possibly several hours for a dirty system.

11. After skimming is complete, close the skim valve andturn off the boiler.

12. Close the make-up water valve and open the boilerblowdown valves.

13. Drain the boiler completely, then refill and drainagain one or two times to make sure all of the sodahas been washed out.

14. Restore piping to normal. Pipe a nipple and cap inthe skim valve.

15. Note: If the gauge glass becomes dirty again, thisindicates more contaminants have worked loose inthe system. Repeat the cleaning and skimmingprocess as needed to clean the system.
