060203c Bpiler Trim Flashcards
Each automatically fired hydronic boiler shall have this control, that will cut off the fuel supply to prevent the fluid temperature from exceeding the max allowable from the boiler outlet ( 121c) 250f
Limit control
Boilers should have a control that will cut the fuel supply off when temperature reaches an operating limit. Should be less than the maximum allowable temperature
Operating controls
The installation of these gushes are essential in detaining the pressure drop over the system and the flow characteristics of the system
Pressure gauges
Code states that each hot water boiler must have this device, must be located at or near the outlet. To indicate the temperature at any moment
Thermometer
This guage indicates pressure, feet of head, and temperature
Tridicator
These valves are installed on some systems to prevent gravity circulation from occurring within the pipe system
Flow control valves
Some boilers such as cast iron sectionals can be fitted with this fitting. Separates gases from the water leaving boiler
Boiler fittings
This device removes air and gases in the heating system located in the supply pipe leaving boiler
Air or line scoops
Similar to line scoop these devices are fitted with fine screens to which air bubbles adhere and travel upwards to the float controlled air valve
Micro bubble resorbers
These devices allow air to be vented from the system at any point of accumulation, must be located on the highest points of the system
Auto air vents
This type of tank has no bladder or diaphragm, tank contains air and when expansion of water enters tank it compressss the air. External site glass on the tank
Cushion tanks
This tank contains a butyl bladder bladder separates the expanded water from the air and does not come in contact with the tank
Bladder tanks
Pumps that are generally 1/2 hp or less and operate below 12’ of head pressure
Low head pumps
These pumps generally are above 1/2 hp motors and operate above 12 ft of head pressure
High head pumps
Type of boiler circulating pump is used to adjust the flow or pressure to the changing demands of the hydronic system
Variable frequency drives
