■The flue gas inspector (where applicable) should be

notified of the commissioning within 4 weeks

Recommended operating conditions to prevent

damage to the boiler system

Never interrupt boiler operation, even if no heat is

being drawn off temporarily

Maintain the following at all times

■Water temperature: 70 °C

■Specified operating pressure

Multi boiler systems with a boiler on permanent

standby:

Changeovers between heating and standby should be

infrequent, for example with each annual inspection of

the overall system.

Shutdown and preservation

Shutdown

Shutdown means shutting down the system via the cir-

cuit breaker at the control panel. The duration of the

shutdown determines the preservation measures

described in this chapter.

A short-term shutdown is not recommended, as every

start-up process subjects the boiler to additional

stresses. For a period of up to 72 hours, for example

over a weekend, the boiler should be left to continue

operating.

Operation

All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

What preservation is for

A depressurised boiler system is at risk from idle-time

corrosion. Preservation measures prevent such corro-

sion.

Preservation measures are carried out on flue gas side

and water side surfaces of a boiler system. The type of

preservation depends on the type and duration of the

interruption in operation.

Type of preser-

vation

Effect

Wet preservation Keeps oxygen away from the boiler

system.

Dry preservation Keeps moisture in the boiler system

to a minimum.

Tab. 1

Interruption in operation

Duration Recommendation

≤ 3 days Maintain the positive pressure in the boil-

er system incl. all boiler-related equip-

ment (thermal water treatment, etc.).

> 3 days Select type of preservation.

Tab. 2

Basic rule

VdTÜV datasheet TC 1465 "Preserving the water side

of steam boilers"

Recommendation

If using preservation methods that include chemicals

other than those stated here, please consult the manu-

facturers of the chemicals.

Brief interruption in operation ≤ 3 days

Treatment for preservation of the water side

Operating

condition

Measures

The boiler is

switched off.

Add oxygen binder to the feedwater 1

hour before switching off. Dosing: 2

to 3 times the standard dose

The boiler re-

mains on.

Maintain the boiler system pressure

and temperature.

Tab. 3

Preserving agents: Ammonia or nitrogen

■A technically demanding form of preservation.

■Consult the chemical manufacturer before use.

■The operator must compile system-specific operating

instructions.

Treating the flue gas side

■Keep heating surfaces dry.

■Remove severe contamination as it binds moisture.

Interruption in operation > 3 days

Treatment for preservation of the water side

Dry preservation

Note

The system cannot be restarted quickly.

Applications:

■Prolonged boiler idle periods

■Risk of frost

See the "Using antifreeze in boilers" chapter in

the technical guide

Application:

1. Drain hot water boilers at < 90 °C.

!Please note

Draining hot water into the sewage system

causes environmental damage.

Cool the water to < 35 °C beforehand. If

necessary, collect it in containers.

2. Open the water closures.

3. Dry the boiler system thoroughly.

4. Place desiccant (silica gel) in the boiler system in

accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Note

Ensure that the desiccant does not come into

direct contact with the boiler material.

5. Close the boiler system.

6. Check the effectiveness of the desiccant regularly.

Wet preservation

1. Fill the boiler system up to the highest possible

level with treated feedwater.

2. Mix oxygen binder, e.g. sodium sulphite, into the

boiler water in accordance with the manufacturer's

instructions. Mix it thoroughly with the boiler water

by means of thermal or mechanical circulation.

Oxygen binder inhibits oxygen corrosion.

3. Check the concentration of the oxygen binder reg-

ularly and at least every month; if necessary, add

more oxygen binder.

Preserving single boilers in a multi boiler system

The temperature of the relevant boilers is maintained

by letting boiler water from the remaining boiler system

flow through them.

Corrosion protection in a filled boiler shell

A fully filled boiler shell is maintained at a pressure of

0.1 to 0.2 bar using nitrogen, specifically nitrogen 5.0.

!Please note

Frost may cause damage to the boiler.

Do not use wet preservation if there is a risk of

frost!

!Please note

Do not use layer-forming monoamines.

The use of film-forming polyamines must be

agreed with and approved by the boiler manu-

facturer.

Recommendation

Agree the steps for the preservation of the water side

with the manufacturer of the preserving agent.

Applicable regulations

Draining preserving solutions

■Conditions for draining waste water into sewer sys-

tems or the main discharge system

Use of preserving agents

■Working instructions and safety datasheets supplied

by the product manufacturer

Treating the flue gas side

1. Clean the heating surfaces on the flue gas side.

Maintain the alkaline balance of the water used for

cleaning at pH 8 to 9, or, in the case of ammonia,

pH 10.

2. Dry the heating surfaces on the flue gas side (allow

normal air flow).

3. Accelerate the ventilation process by means of a

fan heater. If necessary, open the flue gas shut-off

dampers, then close them again.

4. Spray preserving oil, e.g. graphite or varnish, onto

the combustion chamber walls and hot gas flues,

or apply it with a brush.

5. Keep the boiler door(s) open. Keep the boiler sur-

faces dry during idle periods.

6. Employ a desiccant (silica gel).

7. Use a dryer with a fan.

Recommendation for areas with high relative

humidity

Do not use dry preservation in areas with high relative

humidity (in the tropics, near the sea) due to the spe-

cial installation conditions that prevail in these areas.
