Thanks for the lesson guys. 12 years experience in Hvac/R recently went from non union to a union company and I have experience with all residential Hvac equipment with ease. Reach and walk in applications for refrigeration in commercial and little industrial experience so the video was super helpful. Water boilers are my strong suit but my knowledge of steam boilers isn’t what is could be so again thanks for the information
Working currently at a farm with a boss who doesn't believe me about things like makeup air and known boiler operating techniques. So refreshing to see a real approach such as this, been learning as much as I can, thanks to all who make these videos possible
very good instructions TY. side notes... 1 Air proving switch at the blower not on the wall 2 Compressed air in the oil circuit is for atomization 3 Gas pilot circuit [ propane hook up/ tie in] in event of utility outage.
Anthony, does an excellent job apprising viewers on the operation of this CB boiler. The only thing which was reviewed a but hastily, was the oil burning. Normally, a CB boiler contains a patented fuel oil controller module which varies the flow of the oil based on the firing rate and does this through a metering cam connection to the single point fuel/air positioning system he nicely described. As the firing rate decreases, the fuel not burned is automatically returned to the oil tank or the piping loop ultimately supplying the oil to the air atomized nozzle. This air BTW, is referred to as "primary air," or that which is used for atomizing the fuel oil.
Thanks for the clarification on this, it was my next question. If you're so inclined maybe you could also answer another question. The flame sensor is required for the firing of the natural gas side but he didnt mention any kind of system check for flame before introducing oil. Does the oil control also have the flame sensor requirement before adding the oil?
Those CB's are considered to be Cadillac boilers. Most large commercial boilers in Wisconsin are dual fuel like this one. Their oil system is worth learning about. We frequently got higher efficiency readings with #2 fuel oil than we did with natural gas on the Cleavers. Since they are 4 pass boilers, their operating efficiency is tremendous!
@VicMansaMusa went to a school, took 72 hours course. To be honest, I'm glad I did it that way, cause I've seen people fail multiple times trying to get it
Very important not to call those Honeywell valves modulating valves. Those are SSOV’s (safety shut off valves). Inbetween is a double block and bleed for discharging gas if either SSOV leaks by.
very useful information ,on simple & easy way explained , everyone easily understand about system on a boiler, the gentleman who explains very simple way cleearly, if possible please, about vacuum tank, motor changing, traps,...etc can you make vedios on those please
That’s not a class room C.C. Controlled Combustion is the heating contractor there that’s how we keep our boiler rooms and boilers that building is in battery park in lower Manhattan. I know this because I’ve worked on this boiler.
Please make detailed video and upload . show oil circulation oil heating unit oil control system oil pressures from cold stat need air and steam pressures running with steam. thanks sir.
i do residential and have been for a while thinking about making the move to commercial it seems like thats where the money is at... it also doesnt seem so much different than residental obviously for combustion you need air fuel and heat but what i havent really gotten yet is the plumbing portion still working on that but the company i work for i dont think they like to train the technicians because they have so many accounts they would rather have a few techs who know service andsend them to the service calls and the rest of us to do clean outs which has gotten old
I made the leap after 12 years in resi. I've been doing commercial now for 5 years and I don't know why I didn't do it sooner. Journeyman resi techs in my area make $25-$30/hr. Commercial guys make $34-$38. I'm currently at $36.50/hr. You don't have to worry about customers looking over your shoulders. You don't have to worry about a customer blowing up on you about a bill. Everything gets invoiced to the owner or property management firm. Most commercial companies are more laid back than resi companies. Usually resi companies are owned by someone who doesn't know a whole lot about business and therefore will put more and more pressure on you because they think their employee's are the reason that they aren't as profitable as they should be. I worked for a guy that could not produce nor read a profit/loss statement. His wife was the office manager. She would leave invoices stacked everywhere and wouldn't get back to customers. We'd go through invoices and find $20,000 worth of repairs that needed to be done from months ago. She'd call the customers and they'd either decline because by that time they didn't think it was important, or they had already called another HVAC company. The commercial company I work for now is the opposite. The owner has a business degree and everything is completely organized. The stress is minimal because we can all clearly see what are role's are and exactly what we need to do to improve. The company generated 7 million in gross profit my first year. 5 years later and we're now at 12 million. More money means better wages and benefits.
Can you answer my one question? Why electrical engineers need to study boilers and thermal powerplant? Yeah the electrical connections and motors and other stuff can be made by us, but why rankine cycles, steam nozzle equations etc etc etc... 😵? They're soooooo goddam tough my god.. our university is killing us for sure.. tomorrow is my end sem let's hope I pass 😢
all technics require so much precautions to stay safe for operators and for assuring the investment please, how water is cleaned from it's cl components and eventually it's h2so4......
@@joes2085 no that’s not the reason, 6 oil was king in NYC for ever until 2012, then it went 4 oil now that’s being fazed out 2 oil is kink now, but 6 oil needed constant heat 180 degree oil constant, so nyc required oil piping be insulated. This boiler was converted to 2 oil.
Why is it never told how long it takes to get the boiler 'up to temp'? Because that would end the renewable sources debate. 12 to 16 hours for a electric grid boiler.
@@Misterprepper I was talking "electric grid" boilers, not boat boilers. And heating any boiler from cold to steam in 30 mins. is not good for the boiler. My point is the standard electric grid boilers would never be shut down just because the wind was blowing.

There should be more control shall be check b4 start the boiler, the feed and steam pressure gauge also water gauge with present of water. The water shall cover all the boiler tubes and have a mercury floating switch to control the feed water pump on and cut off at the suitable level.
If there is a call for heat and all the safety's are made then The damper will drive open and when it is fully open the end switch on the damper or actuator will make allowing the combustion fan to start, with the boiler driving to pre-purge. The damper needs to open befor the fan starts, if not it was wired incorrectly or jumpered out.
Call for heat, combustion air fan starts, the combustion air damper is driving to high fire, and the draft damper is driving open (if applicable), both dampers have end switches to prove open in high fire switch circuit of flame safe guard, wired in series, the circuit has to close with in 10 minutes depending on flame safe guard or lock out will occur.
@@Misterprepper If I understand the question, this was for the forced draft fan of the burner and the boiler room makeup air damper proving switch. The boiler will not start at all until the boiler room makeup air damper switch proves that the damper is open.
Very large? I would hardly call a 400 horsepower boiler "very large". The small plant where I worked for 19 years had three, 500 horsepower type LRs and two, 600 horsepower type CBs. We also took care of a plant with two, 600 horsepower low pressure CBs . The larger plant had four, Union Iron Works A-type rated at 125,000 lbs/hr. each.

Very important not to call those Honeywell valves modulating valves. Those are SSOV’s (safety shut off valves). Inbetween is a double block and bleed for discharging gas if either SSOV leaks by.
That is correct for this boiler. The modulating valve on this boiler is on the gas line as pointed out later on.

Wear your safety glasses!
We stopped using #6 oil about 5-6 years ago thankfully. Now we are on natural gas.
Very good video, I use to work on boilers like this in my younger days.
Why?
Did the radiation age you or scare away god?
Good Job Anthony! I'm trying to do the same, but is not easy to talk to a lens. Thank you for your time. Very informative.
Introduction of compressed air into the fuel oil train also provides greater fuel atomization .
They use steam instead
@@ThisIsGoogle most new boilers can use both air and steam to atomise fuel.
It’s introduced at the nozzle, and steam can’t be used on these boilers they are low pressure heating boilers. 10psi operating pressure
@@ThisIsGoogle
This Cleaver Brooks boiler burner does not use steam, they have an air compressor that provides the atomizing air.
