jacket. Remove the two vertical rails and the upper and lower bands. Now
the front third of the inner jacket may be removed.
If soot or other debris is present, the heat exchanger must be cleaned.
If cleaning is necessary, remove the burner/blower assembly prior to
washing the copper fi nned tubes with water and non-corrosive soap.
Examine the gaskets and note signs of deterioration, replace if necessary.
Green scale on the copper tubes indicates that the boiler is or has
been experiencing fl ue gas condensation in the heat exchanger; this is
detrimental to the life of any copper fi nned tube heat exchanger. This may
be the result or an improperly designed system operating at low water
temperatures, or substantial cold start-up periods. Copper fi nned tube
heat exchangers are susceptible to failure if there are system return water
temperatures below 140 F present. Inspect for the presence of leaking or
failed tubes. A replacement heat exchanger may be necessary.
Examine the Venting System
1. Check all joints and pipe connections for tightness.
2. Check vent for corrosion or deterioration. If any venting needs replacing,
do so immediately.
