WHY SAMPLE WATER?
In order to ensure the safe, efcient and economical running
of boiler plant, it is imperative the boiler water is sampled for
analysis at frequent and regular intervals.
The Fulton water sample cooler has been designed and
manufactured to facilitate the safe monitoring of the boiler
water.
OPERATION
Always assume the boiler sample water is capable of
scalding until the sample is taken and has cooled down.
1. Normal Boiler Operation (sample not required)
Ensure the valve at the boiler, feeding the sample cooler
is closed.
Ensure the boiler water sample valve and the cooling
water inlet valves are closed.
2. Taking a Sample
When a sample is ready to be taken, open the cooling
water inlet valve and check the water is owing through
the cooler to drain.
Provide a suitable receptacle to receive the sample.
Open the boiler water sample valve adjacent to the boiler
and slowly open the boiler water sample valve located
on the sample cooler, allow the sample water to run for
approximately 30 seconds to remove the standing water
from the sample cooler feed line.
Take a sample of the boiler water.
3. When the sample has been taken, close the boiler water
sample valve and the cooling water inlet valve.
Close the boiler valve feeding the sample cooler.
