    Study Notes

    Preparation for Startup

    • Ensure the boiler has a valid inspection certificate before startup or after a prolonged shutdown.
    • Review the manufacturer's recommendations for startup and operation.

    Pre-Startup Checks

    • Verify the boiler's altitude gauge indicates a minimum static pressure to maintain positive pressure at the highest point in the system.
    • Ensure the isolation valve between the expansion tank and the heating system is open.
    • Check the expansion tank level, and if high, drain and vent the tank to the correct level.

    Expansion Tank Preparation

    • If multiple boilers share a common expansion tank, follow site-specific procedures to ensure all on-line boilers are serviced.
    • Ensure the expansion tank isolation valve is open.

    Heating System Preparation

    • Start the primary heating loop circulator pump and vent air at high points in the system until a solid stream of water flows.
    • If the system has secondary heating loops, start the secondary circulator pumps following site-specific procedures.

    Fuel and Air Supply Checks

    • Check the fuel and fresh air supplies before startup.
    • Verify the temperature setting of the high limit control.

    Boiler Controls

    • Ensure the boiler control switch on the panel is in the off position before startup.
    • Set the control switch to low on boilers with a high-low firing rate control.
    • For boilers with a fully modulating firing rate control, set the manual-automatic switch to manual and the flame control switch to low-fire.

    Final Checks

    • Push the reset buttons on the low water fuel cutoff and high limit control if equipped with mechanical reset devices.
    • Ensure all checks are complete before starting the boiler.
