CONTROLS COMMON
TO
ALL
BOILERS
(1) Forced Draft Fan Motor (Fig. 1-1): Drives the
forced draft fan directly
to
provide combustion
air. Also referred
to
as a blower motor.
(2) Forced Draft Fan Motor Starter (Fig. 1-7):
Energizes the forced draft fan (blower) motor.

(3) Forced Draft Fan (Fig. 1-10): Furnishes all
air, under pressure, for combustion
of
pilot fuel
and main fuel, and for purging.
( 4) Ignition Transfonner (Fig.
1-1
): Provides a
high voltage spark for ignition
of
the gas pilot or
the light oil pilot.
(5) Modulating Motor (Fig. 1-1): Operates the
rotary air damper and fuel valves through a cam
and linkage system to provide proper air fuel
ratios under all boiler load conditions.
