10.3 After longstop
It is necessary to perform a general maintenance and cleaning of the boiler after the heating
season. Check the doors and the sealing cord. Make sure the contact with the boiler is air-
tight. Check that the door is correctly regulated and closes tight.
Remove the turbolators from the heat exchanger and check their condition.
It is recommended that you clean the chimney box of the boiler and the chimney pipes at least
once a year, in order to assure efficient and safe function of the boiler. The cleaning interval
depends on the type of fuel used (oil/gas, etc.)
Clean thoroughly all the surfaces of the boiler as described in the corresponding paragraph.
Also clean the chimney box, and all the chimney parts where ash might be deposited.
After long stop of the boiler, before you put in function you need to perform the following
checks:
Check the condition of the electric cables and the sensors. Make sure they are not
damaged. Check that the thermometer indicates the correct temperature and all the
thermostats function properly. Make sure the bulbs are properly positioned in thecase.
Make a general check of the chimney and make sure it is clean and free ofobstacles.
Verify the pressure in the heating network and theboiler.
Do not empty the water of the boiler and the heating installation after the
heating season! It will corrupt all the installation and especially the boiler.
Check that all the valves are working properly. Replace them if necessary. Pay special
attention so that all the safety equipment of the boiler functionsproperly!
Make sure all the ball valves of the boiler and other relative equipment areopen.
Check the function of the pumps. They might be blocked after longstop.
Check that there have been no modifications to the installation and the boiler room
(ventilation openings, chimney anddoors).
Check the burner function and clean fromdust.
10.4 Basic service procedures
Service after overheating
If overheating occurs, the safety valves of the boiler must open. Make sure the boiler pump is
working. In case of blackout, the burner will stop operation and the temperature will soon fall.
Open some valves of the system if necessary to decrease the boiler temperature faster.
All safety devices must lead to drainage! After overheating, make sure that all the water from
the safety devices has drained, and the system has filled with cold water. Check the pressure
and the temperature of the boiler.
At overheating, the safety thermostat will activate, and cut electrical supply to the burner. In
that case, you need to manually reset the safety thermostat and put the system back in
function. Unscrew the plastic cover of the safety thermostat and press the switch. Put the
plastic cover back.
Verify the causes of the overheating! If it happens again, check the installation
and function of the pumps and safety devices!
