Chapter 3 — Waterside Care and Requirements
Part No. 750-184 3-7
Water Feeder (optional) Operation
Water feeder operation is usually applicable to boilers operating at
15 psi steam or less. It is only necessary to open the water supply
line valve and the water feeder discharge valve.
Note: In the event that water column isolation valves are provided
or installed, it must be established that the valves are open
and seated or locked in the open position. If the valves are
installed, it is illegal to operate the boiler with closed or
unsealed open valves.
The isolation valves and the water column piping must be locked
open during operation. Failure to do so may result in a low water
condition. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious
personal injury or death
C. WATER TREATMENT
Properly treated boiler feed water, coupled with good engineering
and operating practices, lead to maximum effectiveness and long
trouble-free life of pressure vessels, at the lowest operating cost.
Contact your local Cleaver-Brooks authorized representative for
information on how to prevent the presence of unwanted solids and
corrosive gases.
