Steam Boiler Description

The Gasmaster GMI 1M-LS is a gas-fired, low pressure steam boiler with nominal input rating of 1,000,000 Btu/hr. The product consists of two stainless steel (SS) SA 312 Type 304 ND 10 schedule 140 machined (grooved) pipe central hubs. Coiled around each hub is a 1 hybrid coil made of 439 stainless steel, and SA210, Grade A-1 carbon steel, both with nominal wall thickness of 0.049. Between these two coils, there is a middle SS type 316L, or 439, coil without the stainless steel central hub. All three coils are held parallel in a vertical plane, at a pre-determined distance, by means of four SS spacers/ready rods, and adjustment nut assemblies, placed between four tabs welded to the perimeter of each coil. The volume contained between the two hubs, and the conical sections of the coils, defines the combustion chamber of the boiler. The volume contained between the remaining (flat) sections of the coils represents the tail pipe section of the boiler through which exhaust gases enter the boilers housing. Four stainless steel bolts (running through the tabs) connect the coils to the side legs of the housing. The outside and inside panels of the housing are constructed from 18 and 14 gauge stainless steel plates, respectively. An 8 diameter exhaust outlet at the top right hand corner of the front panel allows for exit of the combustion products from the housing. A catch tray is secured to the base of the housing for collection of the exhaust gases condensate liquid. The condensate exits the housing through a U shaped outlet trap near the bottom of one of the side panels. Air and gas mixture enters the combustion chamber through a cylindrical burner head. The boiler utilizes turbulent, premixed combustion technology that allows for compact size combustion chamber, high efficiency, and low NOx operation. The three coils are interconnected. Water enters the first coil at the perimeter, through a variable speed pump. It then continues to flow through the second and third coils, and exits the third coil at the perimeter. Steam is generated upstream of the outlet of the third coil. Heat transfer from the combustion flame to the water takes place in a turbulent mode. Unlike conventional boilers where the hot combustion gases heat the water flowing through the heat exchanger, the flame in Gasmaster steam boilers heats the heat exchanger surface directly, transferring heat through conduction and forced convection. Finally, the heat is transferred in a counter flow process. These factors directly contribute to the highly high efficient transfer of heat from the flame to the water.

1.2

Control System

The boilers operation is governed by a Honeywell Electronic Boiler Pressure Controller that maintains steam pressure at the desired level (10 15 psi). Using this high precision pressure controller, the owner will set the desired steam pressure. The pressure controller installed at the boiler outlet continuously measures the steam pressure. A Maxon air/gas ratio valve, combined with a Belimo electronic modulating air/gas ratio servo-motor, allows for throttling of the air/gas mixture flowing into the combustion chamber. A standard analogue output signal from the pressure controller, throttles the flow of gas and combustion air in the Maxon air/gas ratio valve, so that the appropriate mass of air/gas mixture flows into the combustion chamber. This system makes it possible to obtain an almost perfect air/gas mass and volume ratios throughout the operating range. Thus the boiler will modulate, without loss of efficiency, and deliver the steam at the required pressure. The said system offers the user an almost infinite modulating capacity within the boiler operating range, and almost eliminates on/off cycles. This features significantly increases the overall efficiency of the boilers operation, by eliminating cold starts, and pre-purges.

1.3 Safety Features

The Gasmaster steam boilers are equipped with a number of safety features. I: Flow Switch: One McDonnell Miller flow switch is installed at the boiler feed water inlet. If the flow drops below 0.12 US GPM, the Honeywell Ignition Controller, IC, will de-energize, and the main gas valve will immediately shut-off. Flame Sensor: A Maxon flame probe is used as a flame proving sensor. This is connected to IC, and is installed inside the main burner hub. At any given time, if flame is not detected for a period longer than 0.8 seconds, the IC will de-energize and the main gas valve will immediately shut-off. High Temperature Sensor: All steam boilers are equipped with a White Rodgers or Honeywell high temperature limit switch. If outlet water temperature exceeds the temperature set on this sensor, the IC will de-energize, and the main gas valve will immediately shut off. Gas/Air Mixture Pressure Switch: The signal tube of Dungs gas/air mixture switch is connected to the air outlet tube of the premix blower. If the combustion mixture pressure drops by more than 20% below the nominal pressure at low fire, the IC will de-energize and the main gas valve will immediately shut off. Steam Pressure Relief Valve: A Conbraco or Watts safety relief valve with 11/4 nominal inlet pipe, and 11/2 nominal outlet pipe, and minimum 1200 lbs/hr at 15 psi relief capacity is installed on the outlet manifold. This component is supplied as standard equipment. Feed Water Pressure Relief Valve: A Conbraco or Watts safety relief valve with 1/2 nominal inlet pipe, and minimum 40 lbs/hr at 150psi relief capacity is installed downstream from the feed pump. This component is supplied as

standard, and safeguards the pump against any damage that may be caused due to any restriction on water flow.

1.4 Air and Gas Lines

Pilot Gas Line Gas from the main supply line flows at a maximum pressure of 0.5 psig through the manual valve (P10) in the pilot line into the pilot gas regulator (P3), and the pilot automatic valve (VG1). It then flows through the pilot test-firing valve (P4) into the single-flame interrupted pilot burner, which is installed in the main hub. If a pilot flame is not established within 4 seconds of ignition trial time, the flame safeguard will shut off the pilot gas valve (VG1). The pilot flame will ignite air/gas mixture flowing through the main burner. Main Gas Line Gas from the main supply line flows at a maximum pressure of 0.5 psig into the pressure regulator (M3). It then flows into the serially connected main automatic shut-off valves, SSOV1 and SSOV2, respectively. Based on the command signal from the pressure controller, the flow of gas through the main modulating air/gas ratio valve (M5) is automatically adjusted for the appropriate air/gas ratio. The air/gas mixture then enters the burner where it is ignited by a flame from the pilot burner. The air and gas flow rates are factory adjusted for optimum manifold pressure. The maximum allowable gas manifold is identified on the rating plate (located on the front panel of the boiler housing). After installation is completed, manifold pressures at low and high fire should be rechecked to ensure the identified maximum allowable manifold gas pressures are not exceeded.

1.5

Gas Manifold and Control Assembly Tests

Safe operation and all performance criteria of all Gasmaster products, incorporating the installed gas manifold and control assembly, are proven before delivery when the product is factory tested in accordance with the ANSI Z21.13b 2000 standard.

1.6

Code Compliance

In Canada, the boiler installation must conform to the requirements identified in CGA Codes CAN1-B149-1 or CAN1-B149-2 for gas burning appliances, and CSA B51 for boiler, pressure vessel, and pressure piping codes, and/or all applicable local codes. All electrical connections are to be made in accordance with the CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, and/or all applicable local codes.

In the United States of America, the installation must conform to the requirements f the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1- latest edition. All electrical wiring must be carried out in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition, and any additional state or local code requirements. If an external power source is used, the unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of such authority, the boiler must be electrically grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition. The plumbing and condensate disposal must be carried out in accordance with the local plumbing codes. NOTICE Boiler can be used in both closed loop Steam Condensate Return, and open loop fresh water feed (one-pass) operations. In the commonwealth of Massachusetts the installation shall be carried out by a licensed gas fitter/plumber and comply with 48CMR

1.7

Freeze Protection

Whenever necessary, the boiler must be drained. Due to the radial geometry of the heat exchanger, it must be drained by forced air only.

1.8

Water Treatment

High oxygen content in the feed water should not result in any corrosion inside the coils. Since water flow through the coils is in turbulent mode; and the coils are continuously expanding and contracting, the operation of the unit is to a large extent self cleaning. Therefore, other potential minerals in the water should not have any adverse effect (scaling) on the tubes. However, if it is wished to supply soft water to the boiler, then a sodium-based ion-exchanger can be used. Note that soft water is defined as one having less than 0.12 British, or 0.17 US hardness level). To determine if water treatment is required consult a local water treatment consultant.

Location
I: II: Gasmaster steam boilers are for indoor installation only. Due to the low temperature of flue gases, the boiler does not require any special clearance from any combustible material or surface. However, for service access to the control box, condensate drain U trap, and throttle system please refer to clearances indicated on the boiler rating plate. Note that certain jurisdiction require their own clearances, in such cases refer to all applicable local codes. The boiler can be placed in a basement or utility room. It should not be placed in an unconditioned area where the boiler or condensation could be subject to freezing temperatures. Combustion air may be supplied form both inside, or outside. If combustion air is supplied from inside air, ensure that make-up air is supplied to the room according to the local codes. If the boiler is to be installed near a corrosive, or potentially corrosive, air supply the boiler should be isolated from it. Outside air should be provided for combustion using an air duct not less than 6 ID, and not longer than 16 equivalent length.

For reduced installation costs, locate the boiler as close to an outside wall as possible. Flue gases can be vented out directly through a wall, or in case of retrofit installation, the vent can be extended into the existing chimney. Keep the boiler area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Ensure that inlet to the fan is kept clear of any obstruction so that combustion air can flow freely through to the air intake. A resilient pad to separate the boiler form the floor IS NOT REQUIRED.

2.3

Relief Valve

A steam pressure relief valve is supplied as standard equipment. The relief valve is protection against damage that could be caused by excessive steam pressure. Either malfunctioning of the controls, or water stagnations in some part of the coils may cause such excessive pressures. The relief valve should be piped to outdoor, in accordance with all applicable local codes. The relief pipe MUST be raised at a minimum of 5% slope from the valve, and the pipes internal diameter should not be less than that of the relief valve. There should not be any valve, of any type, installed between the relief valve and the end of the relief pipe. Similarly, there should not be any instrument installed anywhere along the length of the relief pipe, between the valve and the end of the pipe. The relief valve is installed in vertical position and should remain in the position at all times.

2.4

Steam and Feed Water Connection

All pre-installation work has been completed at the factory. Steam header (manifold) is provided with the boiler. One flow switch is installed at the inlet of the feed water pump. One steam pressure controller, one high temperature limit switch, and one pressure relief valve are installed on the steam outlet manifold. Feed water supply line should be connected to the feed water inlet of the boiler. Steam supply line should be connected to the steam outlet of the boiler. Steam manifold has a 2 NPT male outlet connection. Feed water supply line has a 3/4 NPT female inlet connection. For further information on the method of connection of steam and feed water piping to boilers, consult available installation and piping guides developed according to local plumbing codes.

2.5

Exhaust Gases Condensate Line

Connect a 3/8 rubber, or plastic, tubing from the condensate drain U trap, directly to the floor. Notice that the line MUST be pitched downwards towards the floor drain to avoid traps. DO NOT install any valve of any type, or any other instrument, between the drain U trap and the end of the condensate line.

2.6

Gas Line Connections

The maximum allowable gas pressure at gas train inlet is 0.5 psig. If higher pressures are present, consult the local gas company or gas installation codes for installing the appropriate gas pressure regulator. Gas line from the meter to the boiler should be of adequate size to prevent undue pressure drop. For proper operation, line pressure to the boiler gas inlet should always remain in the 7 14 water column range. A manual shut-off valve should be installed in the gas line upstream of the boiler gas train, so that the control instruments (gas combination valve, boiler gas regulator, and pilot gas valve) may be easily removed. The valve should be clearly marked, readily visible and accessible for turning on and/or off.

2.7

Vent Connection

Connect an 8 ID vent to the exhaust gas outlet at the top corner of the front panel. The combustion gases can be exhausted either directly through the wall, or through a chimney using natural buoyancy. If exhausting through a wall, allow at least a 5% rising slope of horizontal duct immediately after the exhaust outlet. The venting system should be designed according to the applicable standards. The exhaust venting system must meet the requirements of category IV boiler (i.e. corrosion resistant, water and gas tight). To estimate the required vertical height, the following chart may be used.

2.7.1
When an existing boiler is removed from a common venting system, the common venting system is likely to be too large for proper venting of the appliances remaining connected to it. Therefore: At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following steps should be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation, I: II: Seal any unused openings in the common venting system. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, and determine there are no blockages, restrictions, leakage, corrosion or other deficiencies, which could cause an unsafe connection. Insofar as is practical, close all building doors, windows and all openings between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and

General Instructions

2.8.1
The boiler and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system, at test pressures in excess of 0.5 psig. The boiler must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve, during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal or less that 0.5 psig.

2.8.2
The boiler should be installed so that the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.), during appliance operation or service (circulator replacement, condensate trap, control replacement, etc.).

2.8.3
The boiler and its gas connection must be leak tested before placing the boiler into operation.

SECTION 3 OPERATION

3.1

Sequence of Operation

On demand for steam, assuming the power switch is turned to the ON position, the following events will take place. I: the Burner Controller, BC, will energize and the contactor S1 will close. Next, the burner blower will start. This is the pre-purge phase of the operation. Anytime the boiler is shut-off (either manually, or through pressure sensor operation), or if any of the safety features cut off the gas flow, before the re-start of operation the boiler will pre-purge to ensure there are no combustion products left in the boiler housing. After the 60 seconds pre-purge period, 120V will be supplied to the Ignition Controller, IC, through the high pressure cut-off switch, high temperature switch, water flow switch, and air/gas pressure switch. The IC sends the required 17kV high voltage to the ignition rod, and 120V to the pilot solenoid valve (normally closed). The valve will open simultaneously with the ignition rod activation. Upon pilot ignition, and the flame probe detecting flame, the ignition rod will de-activate. Once pilot flame is established, IC will send 120V to the main shut-off valves SSOV1 & SSOV2, respectively, and gas will flow to the burner. From the main shut-off valves, gas flows into the air/gas ratio mixing valve. The mixture then enters the main burner through the blower, and is combusted by pilot flame. Signals from the flame sensor are sent continuously to the IC during main burner operation. The main and pilot solenoid valves will remain open. If signals are not received from the flame probe (i.e. flame is not detected), the IC will de-energize and both the pilot solenoid and main shut-off gas valves will close, and the system will go into lock-out mode.

II:

III:

IV:

3.2

Speed Controller/Pressure Sensor Combination

During and after pre-purge period, the burner blower will be operating at low fire mode (low speed). After pre-purge period, IC is energized and the following events will take place. I: As soon as IC is energized, it sends the required 17KV high voltage to the ignition rod, and 120V to the pilot solenoid valve (normally closed). The valve opens simultaneously with IC activation. Upon pilot ignition, and after the sensor detects the flame, the ignition rod will de-activate. Once pilot flame is established, IC will send the 120V to the main shut-off gas valves and the air/gas mixture flows through the main burner and is combusted by the pilot flame at low fire.

When the mixture flowing through main burner is combusted at low fire position, the pressure controller will identify the required steam pressure, and sends a 0-

10V analog signal to the air/gas ratio modulating valve M3, and the regular modulating mode (throttling) will come into effect. II: The pressure sensor continuously measures the steam pressure at boiler outlet. Signals from the pressure-sensor are sent to the pressure set point controller. If the operating pressure is below the set pressure, corresponding signals are sent to the air/gas ratio modulating valve, thereby activating the valve to operate at higher load, or vice versa.

III:

For more information on the pressure electronic controller and its operation, please refer to its manual attached herein.

3.3
I:

Commissioning the System

Ensure all coils are completely purged of any air. After the system has undergone the sequence of events described in 3.1 above, and when the main shut-off valve is opened, the boiler will be in regular mode of operation. The pressure controller has already been programmed at the factory. Steam pressure is set at: Set point SP = 10 psi (the owner can adjust the pressure operating point between 5 12 psi). To reset the values of SP, please refer to the attached Honeywell Pressure Control instruction manual. IV: The speed controller, and timer, have been programmed to pre-purge and ignite at low speed/low fire. After ignition, the blower speed will be adjusted and operated automatically in the modulating mode by the pressure controller, depending on the steam demand. To re-adjust any or both of the above noted fan speed or pre-purge time (e.g. for higher altitudes and different flue vent lengths), please contact a qualified service person.
