Answer: The dimensions are 12 X 16 as per U-1A Data Report. Question 2: What are the dimensions of the manways on the Lyons Campus condensate/surge tank? Answer: The dimensions are 12 X 16 as per measurement. Question 3: What are the dimensions of the manways on the East Orange Campus deaerator? Answer: The dimensions are 11 X 15 as per measurement. Question 4: What are the dimensions of the manways on the East Orange Campus condensate tank? Answer: The dimensions are 11 X 15 as per measurement. Question 5: Does At the completion of the inspection each boiler is closed up properly and that combustion testing on both #2 Fuel Oil and Natural Gas is performed. require recording as-found measurements only? Answer: No, it must be properly tuned to manufacturers standards performance. Question 6: Does At the completion of the inspection each boiler is closed up properly and that combustion testing on both #2 Fuel Oil and Natural Gas is performed. require tuning (adjusting) the combustion controls to manufacturer s standard performance? Answer: Yes. Also use the following for additional guidance: Required burner performance (natural gas and fuel oil): 1. Turndown (ratio of maximum and minimum firing rates): 10/1 - 8/1 - 5/1 - 4/1 (Refer to original burner specification). 2. Achieve, but do not exceed, boiler maximum steam flow output rating. Measure fuel input at minimum and maximum firing rates. 3. Maximum carbon monoxide: 200 parts per million (ppm). 4. Maximum nitrous oxide: refer to original burner specification. 5. Flue gas oxygen: 2.5-4.2 percent (Up to 5.2 percent at loads below 40 percent of maximum steam output, no upper limit at minimum firing rate, oxygen can be one percentage point higher on oil firing on single-point positioning systems). 6. Flue gas oxygen (low excess air burners): 1.0-2.0 percent (Up to 2.5 percent at loads below 40 percent of maximum steam output, no upper limit at minimum firing rate: oxygen can be one percentage point higher on oil firing on single point positioning systems). 7. No visible smoke. 8. Flames shall be stable with no pulsations, shall be retained near burner, no blowoff or flashbacks, no constant flame impingement on refractory. Question 7: In addition to low fire (0%) and high fire (100%), how many points are required for combustion testing? Answer: 6 points. It shall be tuned at every point which is approximately 14 positions.
