CARE AND MAINTENANCE
BOILER FEED SYSTEMS
3.1 REQUIRED PRECAUTIONS DURING TEMPORARY USE
3.1.1 GENERAL
A boiler system is often utilized in new construction to assist in curing of building components or to
provide temporary heat or for other purposes. If precautions are not taken during this time to
protect the boiler system, a great deal of damage can occur before the ultimate owner takes over
the building.
It is the mutual responsibility of the installing contractor and the boiler owner to consider the effect
of temporary usage on the boiler system warranty. The following should be observed so as to
assure the longevity of the feed system.
3.1.2 OPERATOR SKILLS/RESPONSIBILITIES
During the temporary use period, a single person must be assigned responsibility for the care and
operation of the boiler feed system.
This person’s responsibility must include, but not be limited to, the following:
1. Knowledge of boiler system operation.
2. Possession and understanding of boiler system operating instruction manuals.
3. Assurance that the boiler system is fed with only treated water at all times and that
chemical treatment and blowdown procedures are always followed.
4. Notification to the manufacturer (or manufacturer’s agent) to provide start-up services if
the feed system was purchased with start-up by a factory representative.
5. Adherence to all of the start-up procedures noted in the manuals.
