TO FILL THE STEAM GENERATOR

1 . Latch open the separator blowdown
valve-12. Open the fill-test
valve-4 and the atomizing a.-r shutoff
valve-1 .
2. Check the overload reset button-
106 and stack switch-109 reset button.
Check the position of ALL
valves .
3. When the steam separator-221 is
completely drained, close the separator
Blowdown valve-12. Then
close the main switch and turn the
control switch-102 to FILL. Check
the ignition spark-220 while the
coils are filling.
4. Turn the control switch-102 OFF
when water flows from the filltest
valve-4; then close the fill-test
valve.
TO START THE STEAM GENERATOR

1. AFTER THE MOTOR HAS
STOPPED, open the separator
Blowdown valve-12 and turn the
control switch-102 to RUN. The
fire should light immediately.
2. Close the separator Blowdown
valve-12 when the generator
steam pressure gauge-212 registers
100 lbs.
3. Blow down the steam separator-
221 several times for 3 to 5 second
intervals during the first few
minutes of operation.
4. Set the water by-pass regulator- 111 to the required trainline pressure-
gauge-224.
5.After the trainline is coupled, open
the automatic trainline shutoff
valve-7 by depressing the latch-
7A. Then open the stop and check
valve-15.
STANDBY OPERATION

STANDBY OPERATION
Follow normal FILL and START
procedures outlined above.
Set water by-pass regulator-111
for maximum pressure .
Close stop and check valve-15.
Open return line valve -(standby)-
56 and make sure steam admission
valve to radiation-10 is open.
Turn control switch-102 to STANDBY.
TO RETURN TO PASSENGE ROPERATION FROM STANDBY

Close return line valve (standby)-
56.
Follow normal procedure "TO
START STEAM GENERATOR"
outlined above.
RUNNING ATTENTION
 Blow down the steam separator-221 at least once every hour (Except when in STANDBY operation.)During stops, turn the handle on the suction line fuel filter-206; also turn handle on treatment injector filter-225, where the injector method
for water treatment is used.
TO SHUT DOWN THE STEAM GENERATOR
For short stops it is necessary only
to close the stop and check valve-15;
the fire will cycle off and on, and
maintain operating pressure in the
steam generator. For terminal stops,
proceed as follows:
1 . Press the trainline shutoff button
on the remote control panel, and
close the stop and check valve-15.
Set the water by-pass regulator-
111 at maximum output and build
the generator pressure up to 200
lbs.
2. Turn the control switch-102 OFF
and open the coil Blowdown
valve-2. When the generator pres
sure drops to 75 lbs. close the coil
Blowdown valve and open the
separator Blowdown valve-12 . After
the steam separator is completely
drained, close this valve.
3. Refill the coils, then turn the control
switch-102 OFF. Close the
atomizing air valve-1, and open
the main switch
LAYOVER OPERATION
1 . Open steam admission valve to
radiation-10 .
2. Open layover connection shutoff
valve-6
