Assembling the Dual-Stacked Boiler


WARNING: Use extreme caution when moving and lifting one of the CTB's (with a forklift)
into place on the support stand. One CTB can weigh up to 2000 pounds (approximate). Clean Burn
recommends placing safety blocking underneath the unit until it is properly installed and secured on the support
stand. Failure to follow these basic safety guidelines may result in serious personal injury and/or damage to
the unit.

ATTENTION: Dual-stacked units may be installed in several combinations: two CB-200-CTB boilers, two CB-
350-CTB boilers, two CB-500-CTB boilers, or any combination of two models with the larger unit on the bottom.
For optimal system functioning and to prevent system damage, each boiler must be installed/piped individually as
shown in Figure 3C.

1. Refer to Figures 3C and 3D. Move the support stand into the approximate position where the
dual-stacked boiler is to be installed, and place blocks (approximately 10 inches high) inside the stand
to provide safety support for the boiler.
NOTE: If the support stand has not
been assembled, refer to Figure 3B.
NOTE: Only use 7 1/2" legs when
stacking the boilers. Taller legs may be
unstable.
2. Use a forklift to carefully lift one CTB
into position over top of the support
stand.
WARNING: Secure the boiler to the
forklift prior to lifting to prevent
possible equipment damage or
personal injury.
3. Lower the boiler down onto the safety
blocks positioned inside the support
stand.
4. Insert bolts (provided) into the
keyhole slots in the boiler, and then
lift the stand in position against the
bottom of the boiler.
5. Tighten the bolts to firmly attach the
stand to the bottom of the boiler.
6. Carefully lift the assembled boiler
(with stand) off the safety blocks
and move the unit into place for the
rest of assembly.
NOTE: This boiler will be referred
to as the "bottom" boiler for the
remainder of this procedure.

Assembling the Dual-Stacked Boiler (continued)

7. Refer to Figures 3D and 3E. Assemble the adaptor bracket using the 1" x 3/8" bolts provided.
NOTE: The adaptor bracket is installed between the two boilers; it is fastened to the underside of the
"top" boiler unit.
8. If you have not already done so, remove the pre-assembled hardware from the top of the "bottom"
boiler. You will use this hardware to fasten the adaptor bracket.
9. Use a forklift to carefully lift the "top" boiler unit from underneath (see safety warning at the beginning
of this procedure).
10. Attach the adaptor bracket to the bottom of the boiler using the 1" x 3/8" carriage bolts provided.
DO NOT completely tighten the bolts until the two units are assembled together.
NOTE: The notches on the adaptor bracket are designed to fit around standard forklift forks.
11. After the bracket has been attached to the underside of the "top" boiler unit, move the "top" unit
into position over the "bottom" unit.
12. Carefully lower the "top" boiler down onto the "bottom" boiler, watching for alignment of the
bracket holes and the holes in the top of the boiler below.
13. Install the hardware through the lower set of holes in the adaptor bracket into the top of the
"bottom" boiler while checking for proper alignment of the two units. Ensure that ALL hardware
is securely tightened.
NOTE: When stacking a CB-200-CTB on top of a CB-350-CTB use an additional set of side channels turned
180 degrees to help distribute the load around the fork lift notches. This will require lifting the "top" boiler unit
from the front rather than the side. Install the front channel into the adaptor bracket after the "top" unit is set on
the "bottom" unit.

Assembly for ALL Boilers

Connecting the CTB

Refer to Figures 3A, 3C, and 3D. Connecting the boiler involves three activities:
• Supply Side Connections
• Return Side Connections
• Wiring

NOTE: If you are installing dual-stacked boilers, each boiler must be installed in the same manner according to
the following guidelines for connections/wiring. Each boiler must be protected with its own low water cut-off
and MUST be piped individually (i.e. piping dual-stacked units together with a single supply or return line is
strictly PROHIBITED).

NOTE: PLUMBING ASSEMBLY IS SHIPPED DRY FIT ONLY. DO NOT INSTALL UNTIL PLUMBING
COMPONENTS ARE RE-ASSEMBLED WITH PROPER THREAD SEALANT.

Supply Side Connections


• Install the pre-assembled low water cut-off onto the supply piping flange.
• Place a flange gasket between the two flanges, and tighten the bolts to secure this part.
• Install the temperature/pressure gauge into the first tee (the 1/2" tapping). Be sure to use
pipe dope on the threads of the gauge. Tighten the gauge into the tee.
• Install the probe of the low water cut-off into the upper tee, using pipe dope on the threads of
the probe. Tighten into the tee.
• Install the low water cut-off control onto the probe and secure.
• Connect the wiring harness from the CTB control box to the low water cut-off. Refer to the
CTB wiring diagram in Appendix B at the back of this manual.

Return Side Connections


• Mount the boiler circulator onto the flanged check valve assembly mounted on the boiler.
Place a gasket between the two flanges and tighten.
• Install the return piping assembly onto the other side of the circulator flange. Place a gasket
between the two flanges and tighten.
• Isolation valves must be installed on supply and return plumbing connections.

Wiring
• For each boiler, connect the wire from the CTB control box to the circulator. Refer to the
CTB wiring diagram in Appendix B as needed. If necessary, excess length may be trimmed
from the circulator wires.

Mounting the Burner on the Hinge Bracket

NOTE: The burner may have been mounted on the CTB at the factory. If this is the case, simply check the
clearance between the retention head and the boiler to make sure the burner swings freely into firing position. If
adjustments are necessary, follow the procedure below to adjust the hinge bracket bolts.

1. Remove the nut from the burner mounting flange on the boiler cabinet, and set it aside for later
use.
2. Lift the burner into position and mount it on the hinge bracket of the boiler cabinet.
3. Carefully swing the burner and check the clearance between the retention head and the boiler
throat. There must be at least 1/8" clearance, so the retention head is not "bumped" as you swing
the burner into firing position.

If the retention head "bumps" the boiler throat, adjust the hinge bracket bolts as follows:
• While supporting the burner, slightly loosen the two (2) hinge bracket bolts.
• Carefully re-position the burner so it swings freely into its firing position.
• With the burner in its firing position, re-tighten the hinge bracket bolts.

Installing the Connector Block on the CTB Door

1. Refer to Figure 3I on the next page.


2. Use the two (2) bolts to install the aluminum connector block onto the CTB cabinet.
3. Remove and discard the red caps and plugs from the fittings and ports on the connector block.
DO NOT allow any dirt/debris to enter these components during CTB assembly.

ATTENTION: The connector block includes an accumulator. The accumulator functions like a shock absorber
on the oil line to prevent pressure buildup and protect vital burner components. It is important that the connector
block is installed as shown so that the accumulator is in a vertical position to prevent sediment from settling in the
accumulator. Never operate your CTB without the connector block and accumulator properly installed on the
boiler, or damage may occur to vital burner components.

ATTENTION: DO NOT use teflon tape or teflon pipe dope products on any fittings; teflon residue will plug vital
burner components. Non-hardening pipe dope compounds are recommended.

Combustion Air Requirements

The CTB system designer/installer must ensure that there is the proper amount of combustion air in the boiler/
mechanical room.

Refer to Figure 4C.

Combustion Air is the required amount of air that the equipment needs to permit the satisfactory
combustion of oil, the proper venting of combustion gases, and to maintain a safe ambient temperature within the
space at safe limits under normal conditions of use.

NFPA 31 requires the following for combustion air:

Units located in confined spaces (units in a boiler room/mechanical room) must have two (2)
permanent openings, one near the top of the enclosure and one near the bottom of the enclosure
as follows:
1. If all of the air is taken directly from the outside of the building by use of vertical ducts -
each of the two openings must have a total free area of not less than 1 square inch per 4,000
BTU/hr (35 square inches per gallon of oil) of the total appliance(s) input rating (NFPA 31,
Section 5.4.2.2).
2. If all of the air is taken directly from the outside of the building by use of horizontal ducts -
each of the two openings must have a total free area of not less than 1 square inch per 2,000
BTU/hr (70 square inches per gallon of oil) of the total appliance(s) input rating (NFPA 31,
Section 5.4.2.2).
3. If all of the air is taken directly from inside of the building - each of the two openings must have
a total free area of not less than 1 square inch per 1,000 BTU/hr (140 square inches per gallon
of oil) of the total appliances(s) input rating (NFPA 31 Section 5.4.1).

Connecting Water to the Coil Tube Boiler

IMPORTANT NOTE! Detailed information on the installation and operation of the hydronics
system is provided in Section 10 of this manual. The instructions
provided here are abbreviated and serve only to indicate when these procedures should be
performed; consult Section 10 for the detailed version.

NOTE: PLUMBING ASSEMBLY IS SHIPPED DRY FIT ONLY. DO NOT INSTALL UNTIL PLUMBING
COMPONENTS ARE RE-ASSEMBLED WITH PROPER THREAD SEALANT.

1. Connect the desired header supply and return lines to the CTB.
2. Have the water trim installed by a certified hydronics technician according to the ASME
Section IV Boiler Code. Heat exchangers must be used for domestic water heater installations.
3. For air separation and elimination, Clean Burn recommends the Enhanced Spiral-Type Air
Separator which can be supplied by your local Clean Burn dealer. Installing an air separator
helps ensure that air is purged from the boiler, which is necessary for optimal startup and
operation of the burner.
4. The relief valve discharge must be piped to within four inches of the floor or to a floor drain.
Be sure to allow for clearance to remove the back panel for servicing.

Filling the Coil Tube Boiler with Water

ATTENTION: It is necessary to fill the CTB with water prior to wiring and turning the CTB ON. The boiler
circulator bearings are water lubricated and should not be allowed to operate dry. Filling the CTB with water
provides immediate lubrication of the bearings. Purging air from the water is also critical; doing so enables
proper startup of the burner.

1. Fill the CTB with clean tap water.


ATTENTION: To prevent damage to the CTB, DO NOT fill the boiler with water when the
boiler is hot.
2. The pressure gauge should read 20 psig. (If a different operating pressure is needed, contact the
Clean Burn Service Department for additional instructions.)
3. Refer to Section 10, The CTB Hydronic System, for additional information.

4-11
Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB, and CB-500-CTB

Installing the Suction Oil Line Components


ATTENTION: It is critical that you adhere to the following specifications for suction oil line
installation (oil line from the tank to the pump). If these specifications are not met, the metering pump
will not function correctly and the burner will shut down on reset. The majority of service problems with the
metering pump are caused by leaks at fittings in the suction oil line; these problems are eliminated by ensuring
a 100% airtight suction oil line which slants up to the pump.

• All suction oil line components must be installed as shown in Figures 4A, 4B, and 4F.
Suction line size is 1/2" diameter. Proper installation allows the suction oil line to be filled
with used oil during initial priming.

• The suction oil line may NOT exceed 6 feet TOTAL vertical lift AND 4 feet TOTAL
horizontal lift (which equals 6.0” hg maximum operating vacuum). To determine if your
suction oil line will meet this specification for maximum operating vacuum, base the calculation for
your installation on the following equivalents:
(1) vertical foot = 0.75” hg (vacuum)
(4) horizontal feet = 0.75” hg (vacuum)
NOTE: ALSO ADD 0.75" hg to the final sum to account for every oil filter, shut-off valve, and
check valve on the suction side of the pump assembly.
Sample calculation: (6) vertical feet x 0.75" = 4.50" hg AND (4) horizontal feet = 0.75" hg
4.50" hg + 0.75" hg + 0.75" hg = 6.00" hg vacuum

• The metering pump must be installed with a 3/4" check valve and screen at the end of the
suction oil line, or the pump will not maintain its prime.

• Use Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer on every threaded fitting. DO NOT use
teflon tape or teflon pipe dope compounds; the teflon can flake off and cause damage to the
pump head.

• The suction oil line must be 100% airtight for proper system functioning. Use only
high-quality flare fittings for the copper tubing. DO NOT use compression fittings.
DO NOT use any steel pipe unions. DO NOT use sweat copper pipe. These types of fittings
cause air leaks in the suction oil line and will require re-installation.

• The suction oil line must slant up to the pump; any high spots will trap air and will not
allow the pump to prime.

1. Assemble the suction oil line fittings (from the metering pump to the canister filter):
a. Refer to Figure 4F for a detailed look at the metering pump components and fittings.
b. Remove the plug from the 1/4" inlet port of the pump.
c. Install the 1/4" x 3" brass nipple into the 1/4" inlet port on the pump.
d. Install the 1/4" brass street elbow onto the 3" brass nipple; turn the fitting onto the nipple
until it is tight and faces away from the pump mounting plate.
e. Prepare the canister filter for installation:
• Install the 3/4" x 1/4" brass hex bushing into the outlet port of the canister filter.
Check the direction of the arrow for the proper flow.
• Install the 3/4" x 1/2" brass bushing into the inlet port of the canister filter.

• Remove the plug from one of the 1/8" gauge ports in the canister filter and install the vacuum
gauge. Seal the threads of the gauge with Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer.
• Install the 1/2" threaded pipe adapter into one side of the 1/2" ball valve.
• Install the 1/2" MPT x 1/2" flare adapter into the other side of the ball valve.
• Install this assembly into one side of the 1/2" brass tee.
• Install the assembled 1/2" tee into the 3/4" x 1/2" brass bushing, which is installed in
the inlet port of the canister filter. Make sure that the 1/2" flare adapter is pointing down.
• Install the canister filter assembly onto the 1/4" brass street elbow as shown in Figure 4E.
The canister filter must be installed with the arrow pointing towards the pump (direction of
oil flow).
• Install the 1/2" x 5" brass nipple into the top side of the 1/2" brass tee assembly.
• Loosely install the 1/2" brass cap onto this nipple. DO NOT tighten the cap at this time.

2. Install the suction oil line (from the the tank to the canister filter):
a. Refer to Figures 4A, 4B, and/or 4F.
b. Prepare a piece of 1/2" O.D. copper tubing (user-supplied) which will function as the pick-up
line from the tank to the canister filter. This copper tubing must have the following
specifications:
• The tube must be one continuous piece of 1/2" O.D. copper tubing with no kinks
or fittings.
• The tube is to slant up from the tank to the pump with no loops or high points to
trap air.
c. Locate the 2" MPT x 1/2" FPT x 1/2" FPT duplex, slip-thru hex bushing (which will
eventually be installed into one of the 2" openings on the tank). Note that the fitting is
marked "S" for suction and "R" for return.
d. Install the 1/2" MPT x 1/2" slip fitting into the "S" side of the 2" duplex slip-thru hex
bushing.
e. Install the 1/4" MPT x 1/4" compression fitting into the 1/2" x 1/4" brass bushing.
f. Install the 1/2" x 1/4" brass bushing into the "R" side of the 2" duplex slip-thru hex bushing.
g. Measure the height of the oil tank (from the bottom of the tank, NOT the floor) to the 2"
opening that you are going to use for the supply oil line. Deduct 12" (305mm) from this
measurement and transfer this new measurement onto the 1/2" O.D. coppper tubing.
h. Remove the locking nut and ferrel sleeve connector from the 1/2" slip fitting, and slide them
over the copper tubing.
i. Slide the 1/2" O.D. copper tubing through the 1/2" slip fitting, which is installed in the "S"
side of the 2" hex bushing.
j. Install the screen into one side of the 3/4" check valve (making sure the arrow is pointing
away from the screen assembly).
k. Install the 3/4" x 1/2" brass bushing into the 3/4" check valve.
l. Install the 1/2" MPT x 1/2" flare adapter into the 3/4" x 1/2" brass bushing.

Installing the Suction Oil Line Components (continued)


(2.) Install the suction oil line (continued)):
m. Slide the 1/2" flare nut over the end of the 1/2" copper tubing, and flare the end of the tubing.
NOTE: Use a high-quality flaring tool (such as a Ridgid Flaring Tool) to ensure that all
flares are made properly (i.e. so they will be 100% airtight).
n. Install the flared oil line and nut onto the assembled check valve/screen and tighten.
o. Pick up the assembled oil line, and carefully guide the end of the tubing with the check valve
through the 2" tank opening.
p. Apply Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer (or equivalent) to the threads of the 2"
duplex slip-thru tank bushing, and tighten this fitting into the tank.
q. Pull the 1/2" copper tubing back up through the slip fitting until you see the mark that you put
on the tubing earlier. Holding the tubing with one hand, push the ferrel sleeve connector and
locking nut down the tubing, then tighten onto the 1/2" slip fitting. The oil line is now
installed in the correct position off of the bottom of the tank.
r. Carefully bend the oil line up to the canister filter; use a spring bender over the oil line while
bending the tubing to prevent kinks in the oil line. Allowing for the flare nut, cut off the
excess tubing.
s. Install the 1/2" flare nut onto the tubing, and flare the end of the tubing.
t. Install the end of the tubing with the flare nut onto the 1/2" flare adapter (on the ball valve
assembly at the canister filter).
u. Install a vent from the tank to the outside of the building according to code. The tank must
be properly vented to allow air to enter the tank as oil is pumped out and to safely vent fumes
to the outside. See Figures 4A, 4B, and 4D.
v. Install plugs in all other tank openings as required by code.
w. Inspect the installation. For proper suction oil line operation, make sure all components are
installed and positioned as specified in this manual.

Installing the Pressure Oil Line Components

ATTENTION: It is critical that you adhere to the following specifications for pressure oil line
installation (oil line from the pump to the boiler); if these specifications are not met, the metering pump will not
function correctly and the burner will shut down on reset.

• The parameters for pressure oil line installation are:


Length of Pressure Line Line Size
Up to 100 feet 3/8" O.D. copper or aluminum tubing
(Please note that some installations will allow for a greater pressure line length. Contact your
Authorized Clean Burn Distributor for more information.)

• If possible, the pressure oil line should slant up to the burner with no loops or high points to
trap air.

• Local codes may require the installation of an in-line "Fire-O-Matic" safety valve.
Be sure to check all appropriate codes to ensure compliance.

1. Refer to Figures 4A, 4B, and 4F.


2. Make sure you have purchased all the necessary fittings to complete the installation correctly.
3. Install the fittings and components as shown in the related illustrations. Be sure to use Permatex #2
non-hardening gasket sealer to seal every threaded fitting. DO NOT use teflon tape or teflon pipe dope
compounds.

Installing the Compressed Air Line


NOTE: Your air compressor system must supply air pressure to the boiler with the following requirements: 25
psi and water trap or dryer. If you do not have shop air, an optional air compressor is available. Contact your
local Clean Burn dealer for more information.

1. Run a compressed air line from your shop air to the burner on the boiler. Use minimum 1/4"
O.D. copper tubing or equivalent for the compressed air line.
2. Install an easily accessible shut-off valve in the air line so the burner can be serviced without
shutting off the shop air in your service area.
3. Install a pressure regulator (additional to the burner air regulator) in the air line, and set it at 50 psi.
ATTENTION: DO NOT feed full shop air pressure to the burner or damage to burner
components may occur.
4. Install a water trap or extractor/dryer in the air line with an automatic drain so compressed air
(rather than water) is supplied to the burner.
ATTENTION: Water must not be fed to the burner, or the flame will be extinguished and the
burner will shut down. Be sure to drain water from your compressor tank on a regular basis to
keep water out of the air line.

Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB, and CB-500-CTB

Wiring the Coil Tube Boiler


WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, make sure that power to the CTB is turned OFF before
connecting any wires. All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local
codes. Properly size all wires and use Greenfield or Thin-wall Conduit for all electrical lines. Refer to Figures
4A/4B at the beginning of this chapter for the Clean Burn recommended typical CTB
installation. Specific wiring schematics are provided in Appendix B at the back of this manual.

Wiring your boiler requires the installation of the following lines/circuits:


(1) A dedicated electrical line to the CTB (see IMPORTANT NOTE below)
(2) A pump electrical circuit from the CTB to the oil pump (see IMPORTANT NOTE below)
(3) A separate circuit for the load loop circulator

IMPORTANT NOTE: Separate, dedicated lines/circuits must be wired for each boiler in the dual-stacked unit.

Wiring to the Coil Tube Boiler


1. Install a dedicated electrical circuit to the electrical junction box on the CTB. Note that a
dual-stacked boiler will require two circuits, each with a single pole, single throw breaker.

CAUTION: DO NOT tie into an existing circuit or electrical overload may occur.

2. Wire the CTB according to the Wiring Schematic in Appendix B. Refer to NFPA-70 for wire size and
distances.

3. Check for correct voltage at the CTB and refer to the following chart. Incorrect voltage may
damage the CTB components.

Model Voltage Breaker Qty. & Size* Phase Hertz

CB-200-CTB (single) 110/120 (1) @ 15 amps Single 60


Dual-Stacked (200-CTB) 110/120 (2) @ 15 amps Single 60

CB-350-CTB (single) 110/120 (1) @ 20 amps Single 60


Dual-Stacked (350-CTB) 110/120 (2) @ 20 amps Single 60

CB-500-CTB (single) 110/120 (1) @ 20 amps Single 60


Dual-Stacked (500-CTB) 110/120 (2) @ 20 amps Single 60

*NOTE: Breaker size with optional equipment is 30 amps. When installing any optional equipment
(e.g. air compressor), you must use a 30 amp breaker. Make sure a qualified electrician properly sizes and installs
this electrical circuit. Refer to NFPA-70 for wire size and distances.


CAUTION: DO NOT turn on main power until instructed to do so.

4-17
Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB, and CB-500-CTB

Wiring to the Oil Pump

ATTENTION: DO NOT wire the oil pump directly into your building's electrical system. The oil pump must be
activated (receive power from) the burner via the pump electrical circuit.

1. Install the oil pump electrical circuit from the CTB to the oil pump location (refer to Figures
4A/4B).
2. Wire the oil pump circuit according to the wiring schematic provided (Appendix B).

Wiring the Load Loop Circulator

NOTE: To reduce the amount of cold water returned to the boiler (and to protect the boiler from
thermal shock), an optional circulator aquastat can be supplied by your Clean Burn Dealer.

1. Refer to the related information and illustrations in Section 10 and the CTB Wiring Diagram in
Appendix B to locate and understand the wiring for the load loop circulator.
2. The cold water return in your CTB system installation should not be below 140 oF.
NOTE: For installations where cold water return is a risk, Clean Burn recommends installation
of a blending loop. If a blending loop is installed in your CTB system, the load loop circulator
should be wired separately from the CTB control box. Refer to Section 10 for additional
information.

Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB, and CB-500-CTB

Installing the Stack

WARNING: Inappropriate stack materials or improper stack design/installation can adversely


affect the proper, safe operation of your coil tube boiler.

Stack designs are generally classified as follows:


(1) "Class A" stack through the ceiling of the building
(2) "Class A" stack through the sidewall and up the side of the building

Figure 4I illustrates the through-the-ceiling stack design for a single boiler; this stack design is
preferable and is more commonly used. Refer to Figure 4J for the dual-stacked boiler stack design.

When designing your stack, adhere to the following specifications:


• Models CB-200-CTB and CB-350-CTB single boilers require 8" I.D. stack components.
• Model CB-500-CTB single boilers require 10" I.D. stack components.
• Models CB-200-CTB and CB-350-CTB dual-stacked units require 8" I.D. stack components run
as two (2) individual stacks.
• Model CB-500-CTB dual-stacked units require 10" I.D. stack components run as two (2)
individual stacks.
• Ensure that the vertical stack height is at least 10 feet. If needed, increase the vertical length
of the stack or install a draft inducer to obtain -.02" W.C. draft over fire. (Section 8 contains
details on adjusting the draft.)
• Keep the horizontal stack run as short as possible; slant it upward at a minimum of 1/4" per
foot of run.
• Keep the stack design simple. Complicated stacks (with long runs and many turns) reduce
draft and result in poor burner performance. Your stack may include only one 90 degree
turn. All other stack turns must be at 45 degrees or less to ensure optimal draft and burner
performance.

NOTE: If you plan to use an existing masonry chimney, the chimney must be lined and be located inside the
building. Exterior masonry chimneys chill the stack gases and result in poor draft and poor burner performance.

ATTENTION: If you have an exhaust fan(s) in your shop, it is critical that you have adequate make up air
(source of fresh air to replace the stale air exhausted by the fan). When an exhaust fan is run without adequate
make up air, the resultant vacuum in the building will draw combustion products back into the burner. This back
draft causes poor burner performance and may damage vital burner
components. Refer to Section 8 in this manual for additional information concerning exhaust fans and proper
make up air.

Stack components should be installed in the following order:


(1) Inside stack (the stack components from the coil tube boiler breach to within 18" of the
ceiling, roof, or sidewall of your building)
(2) Barometric damper(s)
(3) "Class A" stack penetration through the ceiling, roof, or sidewall
(4) "Class A" stack on the exterior of the building
(5) "Class A" stack cap

3. Install an elbow or clean-out tee (with a smoke cap installed in the bottom) onto the extension
piece from the boiler smoke hood breach.
4. Install a smoke pipe tee onto this elbow or clean-out tee (for the installation of the barometric
damper).
ATTENTION: Avoid additional 90-degree turns in the stack. Each additional 90-degree turn
slows down stack gases, creates back-pressure, and results in repeated burner shutdown and
unnecessary service calls. All other turns in the stack should be at a 45-degree (or smaller) angle.

Installing the Barometric Damper(s)

1. Refer to Figure 4K. Install a single wall tee (min. 24 gauge) on the first straight vertical or
horizontal stack section within three feet of the CTB breach.
NOTE: This tee is required to support the barometric damper. You must purchase this tee when
you purchase your stack materials (8" single wall tee - CB# 70174; 10" single wall tee - CB# 70180).
ATTENTION: For Dual-Stacked CTB Units Only - You are required by code to install two
dampers (provided) - one for each boiler. DO NOT attempt to substitute other types of
dampers--they will not allow the unit to function properly and may void your warranty.

Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB, and CB-500-CTB

Installing the Stack (continued)


2. For CB-500-CTB ONLY: Install the 9"-to-10" pipe adapter in the opening of the tee as shown in
Figure 4K.
3. Install the barometric damper in the opening of the tee (or pipe adapter for CB-500-CTB). Use a small
spirit level to make sure that it is properly level.
3. Install two self-tapping screws as shown in Figure 4K (i.e. one on each side of the barometric
damper) to hold the damper in place. DO NOT install a screw at the bottom of the barometric
damper, or the flapper of the damper will not operate correctly.

NOTE: Specifications for adjusting the barometric damper for proper draft overfire are provided in
Section 8 of this manual.

Installing the Stack Safety Switch For Canadian Installations

NOTE: CSA Standards require that all heating equipment must be installed with a stack safety switch. If your
heating equipment is being installed in Canada, follow the instructions listed below.

CAUTION: For your safety and the safe operation of your heating equipment, the stack switch must
be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with the installation instructions provided here. Wiring
must be accomplished in accordance with all applicable codes. Failure to adhere to these safety
recommendations may result in serious personal injury and/or equipment damage.

1. Follow the instructions in the Operator’s Manual, Section 4 to install a proper stack, including the
barometric damper which must be installed within 40 inches of the breach.
NOTE: The barometric damper must be installed so that it is level and the flapper moves freely.
2. Ensure that main power to the heating equipment is turned OFF.
3. Position the stack safety switch over the lip of the barometric damper as shown in Figure 4L.
4. Drill a 1/8” pilot hole for the mounting screw, and mount the stack safety switch using the mounting
screw supplied with the switch.
NOTE: The mounting screw must not interfere with the free movement of the flapper on the barometric
damper.
5. Install the wall thermostat according to the instructions provided in the Operator’s Manual, Section 4.
Wire the wall thermostat and stack safety switch in series as shown in Figure 4M. Install the wire so
that it is secured away from any hot surfaces.
6. When the heating equipment installation is completed, follow the instructions in the Operator’s
Manual, Sections 5 and 6 to prime the pump and start/adjust the burner.
7. Follow instructions in the Operator’s Manual, Section 8 to check the draft; this is crucial for the
proper, safe operation of the heating equipment.

Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB, and CB-500-CTB

Resetting the Stack Safety Switch

WARNING: BURN HAZARD! To prevent serious personal injury, be sure to allow ample time, at
least 30 minutes, for the stack, barometric damper, and switch to cool down before attempting to access
and service these components. It is crucial to identify the cause of the stack obstruction (e.g. heavy snowfall)
and correct it before resetting the stack safety switch and re-starting the burner. DO NOT operate the heating
equipment with an obstructed stack; failure to correct an obstructed stack may result in fire, explosion, and/or
burn hazards causing serious personal injury or death.

NOTE: In locations where heavy snowfall occurs, it is critical that the stack remain unobstructed by snow. For
safe heating equipment operation, be sure to keep the area surrounding the stack clear of snow.

1. Before resetting the stack safety switch, check the stack to make sure it is clear of any obstructions.
2. Remove the cover from the stack safety switch, and push the small button in the middle of the switch.
3. Pushing the stack safety switch reset button will re-establish the thermostat circuit, and the burner will
start (assuming the wall thermostat is calling for heat).

Understanding the Function of the Stack Safety Switch

The Stack Safety Switch monitors the temperature at the barometric damper on the stack and is de-
signed to detect the obstruction of the free flow of stack gases from the heating equipment and shut
down the burner. Obstruction of the stack results in the “spillage” of stack gases from the barometric
damper, which heats up the switch. The switch then opens, disconnecting the thermostat circuit to the
burner, and the burner shuts off.

Installing the Stack Penetration

WARNING: When running the stack through your ceiling, roof, or sidewall, you must use
Class A/UL103 HT double-wall insulated all-fuel stack components with a stainless steel liner.
DO NOT run single-wall stack through your ceiling, roof or sidewall.

1. Refer to Figure 4I as needed.


2. Follow the installation instructions provided by the stack manufacturer.

Installing the Exterior Stack

ATTENTION: All exterior stack pieces must be Class A/UL103 HT double-wall insulated all-fuel stack
components with a stainless steel liner.
• DO NOT use Class B Vent/double-wall stack components (i.e. for gas fired appliances only).
• DO NOT use Type L Vent/double-wall stack components (for approved fuel oil appliances only).
• DO NOT use single-wall stack for your exterior stack. Single-wall exterior stack chills the
stack gases and results in poor draft and poor burner performance.

1. Refer to Figure 4I as needed.


2. Follow the installation instructions provided by the stack manufacturer.
3. Install water-tight roof flashing around the penetration of the exterior stack.
NOTE: Clean Burn recommends the use of "Dektite" roof flashing (or equivalent) which
ensures a water-tight seal when installed properly. Contact your local Clean Burn dealer for
details.

Installing the Stack Cap

NOTE: Proper installation of a Class A/UL103 HT stack cap ensures the free flow of stack gases which is
essential for optimal burner performance.

1. Refer to Figure 4I as needed. Your stack cap should be classified as: Class A/UL103 HT
non-restrictive, all-fuel type.
2. Install the stack cap according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Installing the Draft Inducer

ATTENTION: The Field brand draft inducers have been tested for use on Clean Burn Equipment. DO NOT use
other models or brands of draft inducers.

Understanding the Importance of the Draft Inducer


The draft inducer is designed to aid in the removal of the natural draft created by the appliance to vent the
combustion gases to the outside of the building. As the paddle wheel turns, a negative pressure is maintained
within the stack so that the combustion gases can leave the boiler and travel out of the stack. (See Figure 4N.)
Proper sizing, installation, and adjustment of the draft inducer are critical for optimal draft inducer operation.

WARNING: Turn OFF the main power to the boiler before proceeding with the installation of
the draft inducer.

ATTENTION: It is very important to install the draft inducer on a vertical section of stack to isolate the inducer
from excessive heat and ash buildup. Never install the draft inducer on a horizontal section of stack close to the
breach where heat and ash will damage the inducer motor.

4-26
Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB, and CB-500-CTB

Installing the Draft Inducer (continued)

1. Refer to Figure 4N. Follow the instructions included with the draft inducer to mount the draft
inducer on the section of single-wall vertical stack.
2. Position the draft plate all the way out so that it does not reduce the draft produced by the draft
inducer. Follow directions in Section 8 (Adjusting the Draft Overfire) to set the proper draft.

Wiring the Draft Inducer for Normal Operation*


*(No exhaust fans in the building)

1. Wire the draft inducer according to the Wiring Diagram in the Burner Control Box and also
provided in Appendix B at the back of this manual.

Installing the Wall Thermostat or Aquastat


IMPORTANT NOTE: The wall thermostat is available separately from Clean Burn (i.e. it is not included with
the CTB). Refer to Appendix A in this manual for additional information on remote temperature sensing controls
available from Clean Burn for your CTB system installation.

1. Select a location for the thermostat on an interior wall away from any hot or cold drafts.
2. Remove the top cover from the thermostat by pushing gently on the latch at the top center of the
body. (Hold the thermostat base in one hand, and grasp the body with the other hand; push in on
the latch with your thumb, and pull the cover away from the base.)
ATTENTION: DO NOT use a screwdriver to pry the cover off the base, or damage may occur.
3. Remove the green paper insert and the black plastic battery isolator from the battery section of the
thermostat.
4. Refer to the Burner Wiring Diagram in Appendix B at the back of this manual. Run two wire,
18-gauge (minimum) thermostat cable from the terminals on the back of the thermostat base to the T/T
terminals of the control box on the side of the boiler. DO NOT run the wiring to the primary control!
5. Run two wire, 18-gauge (minimum) thermostat cable from the B1/B2 terminals of the control box on the
side of the boiler to the T/T terminals of the primary control on the burner.
ATTENTION: NEVER jump between T/T terminals on the burner control box or the primary control
without removing one of the wires. Failure to remove one of the wires will burn out the heat anticipator
on the thermostat and will cause the thermostat to fail.
6. Mount the thermostat base 60" to 66" from the floor using the hardware provided.
7. Reassemble the thermostat body onto the base. (Align the hinges at the bottom of the cover with
the slots at the bottom of the base, and swing the cover up into place.)

Replacing the Wall Thermostat Batteries

1. Proper battery level is indicated by the room temperature being displayed on the LCD screen.
2. When the battery level becomes low, a battery icon along with the word "REPLACE" will be displayed
in the lower left corner of the LCD screen. Replace the batteries to ensure proper operation, following
the previous instructions on the thermostat disassembly procedure.
3. If the batteries are not replaced, the display will slowly become dim and not display any information.
The thermostat will eventually not function. If this happens, replace the batteries immediately.

Inspecting the Coil Tube Boiler Installation

Following the completion of all installation activities described in this chapter, the CTB should be
inspected by qualified personnel before firing. This ensures that your installation meets all applicable national
and local codes and allows for any deficiencies in the installation to be corrected before CTB startup. Improper
installation will void your warranty.

NOTE: Important! During the inspection, be sure to check the aquastat settings. Initial settings are
listed here:

• Operating Aquastat 180 oF (minimum)


• Hi-limit Aquastat (with manual reset) 240 oF

Refer to Section 6 for burner startup and final adjustments of the aquastat.

Any changes to these settings should be made only by a qualified hydronics technician. See Section 10, The
CTB Hydronics System, for more information.

SECTION 5: METERING PUMP PRIMING


Understanding Metering Pump Priming
Preparing your Clean Burn boiler for operation begins with priming the metering pump. The procedures in this
section must be performed in sequence without interruption to properly prime the pump.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR DUAL-STACKED UNITS: The priming procedures will have to be performed for
one burner, and then repeated for the other burner (i.e. get one burner running first before attempting priming of
the other burner.)

Required Tools and Materials


The following tools and materials are required for oil pump priming and should be gathered before starting any
procedures:

• 3/8" open-end wrench


• 5/8" open-end wrench
• Rags
• Two containers (minimum one-gallon)
• Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer
• Adjustable Wrench
• Pipe Wrench

5-1
Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB, and CB-500-CTB

Priming the Metering Pump


ATTENTION: The priming process must be done precisely as described in this procedure to ensure that all
air is thoroughly bled from the system. Failure to bleed all air from the system will result in
repeated burner shutdowns on reset.

1. Refer to Figure 5A.


2. Remove the 1/4" NPT plug from the side of the pump head, and set it aside.
3. Remove the 1/2" brass cap from the 1/2" brass nipple. Place a funnel in the opening. Slowly
pour used oil into the funnel until oil comes out of the side of the pump head; this will fill the
oil line, canister filter, and pump head with oil.
ATTENTION: NEVER run the pump head dry (i.e. without oil in the pump head). Doing so will
severely damage the pump.
4. Apply Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer to the threads of the plug (removed from the
pump head). Re-install the plug and tighten.
5. Apply Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer to the threads of the 1/2" brass nipple. Re-install
the 1/2" brass cap on the brass nipple and tighten.
6. Open the bleeder on the pump two to three (2-3) full turns, and position a container to catch oil
which will flow from the bleeder during pump priming.
7. Close the mini ball valve at the outlet port of the pump head.
ATTENTION: Verify that the relief oil line is installed back to the tank before closing the mini ball
valve. Closing the mini ball valve will cause the internal pump relief valve to open.

Priming the Metering Pump (continued)


8. Activating the Pump
NOTE: The coil tube boiler features a priming switch which is mounted on the left-hand side of
the electrical junction box on the hydraunics side of the boiler cabinet. The priming switch has two
positions:
• PRIME (switch is in the UP position / orange indicator light is ON): this is used only
for pump priming. When the switch is in the UP position, the pump circuit is activated for
priming. The pump will continue to run as long as the switch is in this position. The oil
primary control circuit is de-activated so the burner cannot run while the switch is in the UP
position.
• BURNER (switch is in the DOWN position): this is used for normal burner operation.
When the switch is in the DOWN position, the burner controls the operation of the pump.
The pump will only run while the burner is running.

a. Refer to Figure 5B to locate the priming switch.


b. Turn the priming switch to the UP position. The pump should immediately start running.

Priming the Metering Pump (continued)


9. Run the pump until a solid stream of oil flows from the pump bleeder. This will bleed all air out
of the suction line, oil filter and pump head.
ATTENTION: For the metering pump to operate correctly, it is very important that the system
is entirely full of oil and all air is bled out. The burner will shut down if there is any air in the
system.
10. Open the mini ball valve at the outlet port of the pump head to allow the pressure oil line to be filled.
11. Close and tighten the bleeder on the pump.
12. Turn the priming switch to the DOWN position so that the pump stops running.
13. Disconnect the pressure oil ine from the burner and position a container to catch oil which will flow from
the pressure oil ine during pump priming.
14. Turn the priming switch to the UP position. The pump should start running immediately .
15. Run the oil pump until the proper flow of oil has been established, and the oil line has been completely
flushed out.
16. Turn the priming switch to the DOWN position so that the pump stops running.
17. Re-connect the oil line to the connector block.

Vacuum Testing the Oil Pump

Vacuum testing the oil pump is a very accurate way to determine the following:
• The condition of the pump -- the ability of the pump to pull a vacuum and suck oil from the tank.
• The condition of the fittings, gaskets and seals from the ball valve to the pump -- these
components must all be airtight to avoid suction leaks.
The following procedure provides instructions for vacuum testing the pump and canister filter on
systems equipped with a ball valve.

ATTENTION: For the pump to pull and hold vacuum, it is critical that all fittings are airtight. If any of these fit-
tings are loose, the pump may not pull a vacuum or may lose the vacuum rapidly. It is also critical that all fittings
in the suction line, including fittings on the canister filter, are 100% airtight.

1. Follow the instructions to prime the pump (previous procedure).


NOTE: The pump will not pull a vacuum if the pump is dry. There must be oil in the gears of
the pump before the pump can pull a vacuum.
2. With the pump running, open the bleeder two to three full turns, and make sure that oil is flowing
from the bleeder. DO NOT close the bleeder yet.
3. Refer to Figure 5A. Close the ball valve at the inlet to the canister filter. Observe the vacuum gauge.
NOTE: The ball valve must have a stainless steel ball and should be pressure tested by the
manufacturer to ensure that it does not leak. If the ball valve leaks, the vacuum test will not be
accurate.
4. The vacuum should increase within 30 seconds to 15 inches of vacuum. When the vacuum
gauge reads 15 inches of vacuum, first close and tighten the bleeder, then turn the pump off and close
the mini ball valve at the outlet port of the pump. Observe the vacuum gauge.
NOTE: If the pump will not pull at least 15 inches of vacuum, there is a very serious suction
leak, or the pump is damaged.

5-4
Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB, and CB-500-CTB

Vacuum Testing the Oil Pump (continued)

5. If there are no suction leaks, the system will hold vacuum.


NOTE: It is acceptable for the vacuum to drop one to five inches within one minute as the seal
in the pump seats. The vacuum should then hold steady for 15 minutes.

ATTENTION: If the vacuum drops more than one to five inches within the first minute, there is one or more
leaks somewhere between the pump and the ball valve. Do the following:
• Wipe your finger along the cylinder at the shaft of the pump. If there is oil here, the pump
seal is damaged. Replace the pump.
• Disassemble and clean all the fittings from the pump to the ball valve. Properly seal all
fittings with Permatex #2 non-hardening gasket sealer or equivalent. Check the condition of
the o-ring on the canister filter and tighten the four canister filter bolts in a crisscross pattern.
• Repeat the procedure to vacuum test the system to ensure that the system is air tight.

6. Follow the instructions to prime the metering pump after a vacuum test has been performed.

SECTION 6: STARTING AND ADJUSTING THE BURNER


Understanding Burner Startup and Adjustment
ATTENTION: Before starting the burner, you must fill the coil tube boiler with water. Refer to Section 10
in this manual for more information on the hydronics system. DO NOT bypass the CTB controls to operate the
burner!

FOR DUAL-STACKED UNITS ONLY: Clean Burn recommends that you complete burner startup and
adjustment for one burner before starting the second burner.

Starting and adjusting the burner involves a series of separate procedures which must be accomplished in
sequence without interruption. Review all the procedures before attempting burner startup and
adjustment, paying careful attention to safety information statements.

Preparing the Hydronics System for Burner Startup


The following procedure should be performed prior to burner startup to ensure that all key components of the
hydronics system are functioning properly. Ensure that air is purged from the system. If the CTB circulator
becomes air-bound, it will not produce sufficient flow to activate the flow switch, and the burner will not start
properly.

1. Turn the load temperature controller (i.e. thermostat or aquastat) OFF.


2. Set the operating aquastat (on the CTB) at 180 to 200 oF.

Preparing the Burner for Startup

1. If you have not already done so, disconnect one wire from the terminal block at the "thermostat"
connection. (This prevents the burner from running.) A wiring diagram is provided in
Appendix B.
2. Turn the main power to the CTB ON (the green power light on the burner should be ON).
3. Wait at least 15 minutes until the preheater block is thoroughly warmed up. (Feel the back of
the burner box to make sure the preheater is sufficiently warm. The proving switch on the
preheater block will not allow the burner to start until the block is at least 120 oF.)
NOTE: The preheater block will remain warm as long as power is supplied to the burner. If the
main power supply is ever turned OFF, you must wait at least 15 minutes until the preheater
block is thoroughly warm before starting the burner.

Starting the Burner


1. Re-connect the control wire. Turn the aquastat to call for heat (to start the burner).
NOTE: The CB-350-CTB and CB-500-CTB burner oil primary controls include alarm contacts which
will close should the burner fail to start. If the burner refuses to start, review the Preparing the
Burner for Startup procedure. If, after repeating this procedure, the burner still refuses to start, check
the following system components for proper functioning:
• Verify that the red wire (per the burner wiring diagram) is energized to 115VAC.
• Reset the hi-limit switch.
• If the flow switch is not closing, the circulator is air-locked. Air must be purged from the system.
• Verify that the prime switch (on the control box) is set to RUN (DOWN position).
2. Adjusting the Air Regulator:
As soon as the burner starts running, turn the knob on the air regulator clockwise to achieve
proper operating air pressure. Refer to the Initial Adjustment Charts.
NOTE: If the safety reset on the primary control is activated and the burner stops running, see
Section 7 for further instructions on restarting you burner.
3. Observing the Flame Length:
Visually inspect the flame length through the
observation port. Refer to Figure 6B for an illustration CAUTION
of the desired flame length. The flame should extend WHEN OPENING INSPECTION PORT
no more than one-half of the way down the chamber.

Starting the Burner (continued)


6. Checking for Proper CTB System Operation:
Observe the boiler temperature and water pressure.
7. After the burner stops running when the operating aquastat set temperature is reached, check the
following:
• air has been purged from water lines
• water pressure is satisfactory (i.e. not greater than 22 psi; normal pressure is 12 psi)
• all system controls functioning properly
8. Reset the operating aquastat to the normal operating range (180-200 oF) and repeat steps 6
and 7, observing the CTB operation.
9. Reset the load temperature controller (i.e. thermostat or aquastat) to the normal operating
temperature.
10. As the CTB temperature drops, the burner will start running. Continue observing the CTB
operation through several burner ON/OFF cycles to ensure proper system performance.
11. Fine Tuning the Combustion Air Band:
NOTE: The initial setting of the combustion air band may require additional adjustment.
• Refer to Figure 6A to identify the combustion air band location on the burner.
• Observe the flame. The flame should be yellow-white with sharp tips and no "sparkles."
• If the flame is orange in color or the flame length is too long, the oil you are burning
requires MORE combustion air. OPEN the air band 1/8" to 1/4", and re-check the flame
for the proper characteristics.
• Re-check the flame after five minutes. You should see a yellow-white flame with sharp
tips and no "sparkles", and the flame should extend half of the way down the combustion
chamber.
12. Checking for a Smokeless Burn:
Check for a smokeless burn by observing the stack while the burner is running. If you see any
smoke, repeat the previous steps for setting the combustion air band and adjusting the air
regulator. After adjusting the combustion air band, re-check the flame length.
NOTE: Check for a smokeless burn periodically (as you do the flame length). Immediately
readjust the burner if you ever see smoke coming from the stack. Smoke indicates improper air/
fuel adjustment.
NOTE: When using instruments to adjust the burner for a smokeless burn, the following
readings should be achieved:
• Draft over fire should be -.02 inch w.c. to -.04 inch w.c.
• Adjust for a smoke spot of a trace to 1
• For the CB-500-CTB adjust for a CO2 reading of 12.5 to 14% or an O2 reading of 2 to 4%
• For the CB-350-CTB adjust for a CO2 reading of 12 to 13.5% or an O2 reading of 4 to 7%
• For the CB-200-CTB adjust for a CO2 reading of 10.5 to 12.5% or an O2 reading of 3 to 5%
• Cad cell reading of 200 to 500 ohms

NOTE: On the CB-200-CTB, the flame cannot be observed through the inspection door. The CB-
200-CTB must be adjusted with instruments for proper combustion. Obtain the above settings
by adjusting the air band 3/8" to 1/2". The metering pump will deliver a constant oil flow and set the
flame length accordingly.

5. Set the load temperature controller to call for heat.


NOTE: Main power should be ON and all hand-operated oil line valves open. When the call
for heat is detected, the oil primary control will perform a 5 second self-test which is indicated
by a "solid on" amber LED. After the self-test, the amber LED will turn OFF, and the burner will
start.
6. If flame is not established within 15 seconds (TFI-Try For Ignition), lock-out will occur.
Lock-out is indicated by a "solid on" red LED and closure of the alarm contacts (see NOTE
below). To reset the control, repeat step 4.
7. Latch-up occurs if the control locks-out and is reset three times during a call for heat. Latch-up
is indicated by "solid on" red and amber LEDs.
8. To reset the control from a latch-up condition:
WARNING: Only a qualified service technician should attempt to reset the control after
latch-up. The problem that caused the repeated burner lockouts must be corrected before
returning the burner to normal operation.
• Push in and hold the reset button for 10 seconds. The amber LED will begin to flash.
• After the LED begins flashing, continue holding the reset button for 20 seconds. The LEDs will
turn off. Release the reset button and the control will restart (releasing the button before the leds
turn off will cause the control to remain in latch-up)
NOTICE: The 50200 control will not reset from lockout or latch-up if power is interrupted.
9. When the load temperature controller opens, the burner motor turns off within 1.2 seconds.
10. If flame is lost during a normal run (after TFI), the burner motor turns off after 1.2 seconds. A
65-second recycle period begins, indicated by a blinking red LED. The control will restart
automatically after the recycle period.
11. Power loss during a normal run will cause the burner to safely shut down and begin a normal TFI
when power is restored.
12. If the burner will not restart at all (after having attempted oil primary control reset), contact your
Clean Burn dealer immediately.

NOTE: The oil primary control on the CB-551-H3 and CB-551-H5 Burners provides an extra set of dry contacts
to accommodate an externally-mounted horn, siren, bell, or other alarm device. The contacts close when the
control goes into either lock-out or latch-up mode. Because these are dry contacts, power must be supplied from
an external source. The contacts are rated for 24 VAC or DC at 2 amps.

SECTION 8: ADJUSTING THE DRAFT OVER FIRE


Understanding the Importance of Draft
Draft in the Coil Tube Boiler is created as the hot combustion gases rise up the stack, creating a negative pressure
inside the stack and the boiler. This negative pressure is measured as inches of water column (W.C.) of draft. A
proper draft overfire of -.02 w.c. is essential so that all combustion products travel away from the burner, down the
combustion chamber, through the boiler flues and up the stack.

Checking for Correct Draft Over Fire


NOTE: The CTB's are equipped with an observation/draft reading port to check draft over fire. A qualified
serviceman with proper equipment must adjust your CTB for proper draft. Contact your Clean Burn dealer for
this service.

1. Insert the probe of the draft gauge


instrument into the draft reading port in the
observation port as shown in Figure 8A.
2. Adjust the barometric damper to achieve
the required draft over fire of -0.02 w.c.
(water column).
3. Record the reading in the Maintenance
Record located in the Appendixes.
4. If correct draft over fire cannot be achieved,
contact your Clean Burn dealer
immediately.
ATTENTION: Only operate your CTB
with a draft over fire of -0.02 w.c. Poor
draft results in back pressure and poor
burner performance. DO NOT operate your
CTB with a draft over fire greater than
-0.04 w.c.; an abnormally high stack
temperature may result from a draft over fire
that is too high.

ATTENTION: Backdraft must be resolved or


your boiler will not operate correctly!
Under backdraft conditions, draft overfire readings will
show positive pressure in the combustion chamber. I88257

Backdraft means that oil spray, combustion products,


and heat are blown back against the burner. Backdraft Figure 8A - Checking for Proper
results in oil-fouled retention heads and electrodes. Draft Over Fire
Severe backdraft will force heat back against the burner and result in heat damage to the cad cell and
transformer.

8-1
Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB, and CB-500-CTB

Checking for Correct Draft Over Fire (continued)


Backdraft is caused by the following conditions:
• Poor draft caused by improper stack design. (See Section 4.)
• Poor draft caused by improper adjustment of the barometric damper.
• Incorrect combustion air band setting on the burner. (See Section 6.)
• Boiler flues are plugged with ash. (See Section 9.)
• Improper seal on clean-out door on back panel. (See Section 9.)
• Exhaust fans in your building are sucking gases down the stack.

Understanding the Effect of Exhaust Fans on Draft

Any type of exhaust fan, paint booth, or exhaust system in a building will create negative pressure in the building
unless there is a source of make-up air (i.e. fresh air which enters the building and replaces the air removed by the
exhaust fans.)

If there is insufficient make-up air, the exhaust fan will suck air and combustion gases down the coil tube boiler
stack and create backdraft in the boiler. After the burner is shut down, the backdraft may suck the residual heat
out of the combustion chamber and into the burner causing damage to the burner. Even if the exhaust fan is on
another level of the building or in another room away from the boiler, the exhaust fan will still create backdraft at
the boiler.

Checking Draft Overfire to Determine Severity of Backdraft

The following procedure is an accurate method of determining how much backdraft is created by the exhaust fans.
Once this is determined, you can select the correct method for resolving the backdraft.

1. Turn off ALL exhaust fans and close ALL doors and windows in the building (any open door or
window will allow make-up air to enter the building and will negate the test).
2. Start the coil tube boiler and adjust the barometric damper so that the draft overfire is -.02 w.c.
3. Check the draft overfire again. Now have someone start the exhaust fans.
4. Note how much the draft overfire has changed.
ATTENTION: If the draft overfire changed towards positive, it is mandatory that make-up air
is provided to the building or severe damage to the boiler and burner will occur (voiding the
warranty). If the draft overfire remained constant at -.02 w.c., there is sufficient make-up air
entering the building, and the exhaust fan is not adversely affecting the draft.

CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the equipment room ever be under a negative
pressure. Look for exhaust fans, compressors, air handling units, or anything else that may take
air away from the boiler. Also look for chemical fumes, solvents, refrigerants, etc. that may be in use
around the boiler and cause damage to it.

Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB, and CB-500-CTB

Adjusting Draft Over Fire with A Draft Inducer Installed


NOTE: The draft inducer is purposely sized to create a generous draft. When adjusting the barometric damper,
you will find that the flapper is open most of the time. This allows the draft inducer to suck cool air through the
damper to protect the inducer motor from heat damage.

1. Use a draft gauge to check draft over fire.


2. Adjust the barometric damper to obtain -0.02 w.c. draft over fire. If you still have too much draft,
adjust the draft plate on the draft inducer. Move the plate in 1/4" to reduce the draft. Recheck
the draft reading.

SECTION 9: MAINTENANCE
Understanding Maintenance
Maintaining your Clean Burn CTB is an important activity which includes several periodic maintenance activities
and an annual burner tune-up...all are necessary to keep your boiler running in peak condition.

WARNING: Failure to maintain and/or improper servicing by unqualified personnel may


adversely affect the proper, safe operation of your coil tube boiler, may reduce the service life of
your boiler, and may void your warranty.

The following chart summarizes all the maintenance activities which should be performed on the CTB at the
intervals indicated. Instructions/procedures for these activities are included in this chapter.

Maintenance Activity Interval


Cleaning the canister filter Before vacuum gauge reads 10" HG of vacuum
Servicing the metering pump At least once a year
Cleaning the check valve/screen At least once a year
Cleaning water/sludge out of oil tank At least once a year
Cleaning out ash (CB-200-CTB)* Approx. every 750 hrs. per burner hour meter
Cleaning out ash (CB-350-CTB)* Approx. every 1000 hrs. per burner hour meter
Cleaning out ash (CB-500-CTB)* Approx. every 1000 hrs. per burner hour meter
Cleaning / Maintaining the Draft Inducer At least once a year
Checking boiler water condition Periodically by qualified water treatment company
Annual burner tune-up At least once a year

*It is very important to clean the ash from the CTB on schedule. Normal use of the boiler requires
clean-out at least twice during the heating season. Heavy, around-the-clock usage requires more
frequent clean-out (e.g. one month of continual running of the boiler is 720 hours).

NOTE: IMPORTANT! Record all maintenance activities in the Maintenance Record provided in the
Appendixes.

Annual Preventative Maintenance and Burner Tune-up

The Clean Burn CTB requires annual preventative maintenance. The burner also requires an annual tune-up to
keep it running in peak condition. The burner tune-up should be performed by a qualified Clean Burn service
technician who has the necessary parts and expertise.

Contact your local Clean Burn dealer to schedule the annual maintenance for your boiler. Various levels of
service are provided to fit your particular need. This work is usually performed during the warm-weather months
to prepare the boiler for the next heating season.

Cleaning the Canister Filter

ATTENTION: Never operate the oil pump with more than 10" HG of vacuum on the vacuum gauge. High
vacuum on the suction side of the pump separates air from the oil (cavitation) and will cause the burner to shut
down.

The following protective gear should be worn when cleaning the filter:
• Rubber gloves • Safety goggles

1. Close the ball valve adjacent to the filter.


2. Position a container under the filter.
3. Unscrew the four bolts, remove the canister bowl, and filter element. Now pour the oil intothe container.
4. Clean the filter element and the bowl in a parts washer.
5. Referring to Figure 9A, check the condition of the O-rings. Replace any that are cracked or worn.
6. Ensure that the canister filter is 100% airtight by firmly tightening the four bolts.
7. Open the ball valve. Refer to Sections 5 and 6 for instructions on priming the pump and starting
the burner.

Cleaning the Ash from the Coil Tube Boiler

ATTENTION: Your CTB may require frequent clean out of the ash due to contaminants in the oil or heavy use.
As ash accumulates, CTB heat output declines, and the stack temperature rises. 1/8" of ash has the insulating
capacity of one inch of fiberglass insulation and reduces heat transfer significantly. Never allow more than 1/4" of
ash to accumulate in the combustion chamber, heat exchanger flues or stack.

The following protective gear should be worn when cleaning the ash:
• Respirator for fine particles • Rubber gloves
• Safety goggles • Protective clothing
1. Ensure that power has been turned OFF, and all "hot" components have been allowed to cool
sufficiently. Shop air should be turned OFF and disconnected. Allow at least one hour for the
ceramics to cool.

9-4
Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB, and CB-500-CTB

2. Clean the ash from the combustion chamber (see Figure 9D):
a. If the air and oil lines must be disconnected to open the clean out door:
1. Bleed-down pressure on the air and oil lines by slightly loosening the fittings at the bottom of
the connector block.
2. With air and oil pressure completely bled off, disconnect the air and oil pressure lines from
the bottom of the connector block.
NOTE: Cover these lines to keep dirt from entering the air / oil supply.
b. Remove the lock nuts on the clean-out door.
c. Carefully swing open the clean-out door to expose the coiled heat exchanger, flue passages,
and the combustion chamber.
d. Remove the ceramic sleeve from the combustion chamber, and remove the supporting stand.
e. Use a wire or bristle brush to thoroughly clean out the ash from the combustion chamber and
flue passages.
f. While cleaning out the combustion chamber, also check the burner retention head and throat.
Carefully clean these elements.
g. Thoroughly vacuum any remaining ash residue from the flue passages. A long wand on the
hose of your shop vac is helpful in reaching all the way back.
h. Inspect the combustion chamber and its components to ensure that it is in good condition.
Inspect the inside of the clean-out door and target wall. Make sure the refractory material on
the inside of the door is in good condition, and the door seals tightly when closed. If the
door does not seal tightly, replace any damaged components.
3. Clean the ash from the stack components:
a. Brush accumulated ash from the stack cap.
b. Lightly tap the stack components to loosen the ash.
c. Allow ash and dust to settle in the clean-out tee or elbow, then vacuum out.
d. Disconnect the stack from the CTB breach.
e. Thoroughly vacuum out the back of the boiler, including the boiler breach (through the
breach). If desired, the back panel can be removed for cleaning.

ATTENTION: When cleaning the


combustion chamber, ensure that you
do not gouge or damage the refractory
material on the inside of the clean-out
door and target wall. DO NOT bump
or bend burner components while
cleaning the combustion chamber.

Cleaning the Ash (continued)

ATTENTION: When handling the front door and rear panel, be careful that you do not damage
the insulation seal surfaces. Two technicians may be required to remove and install the rear
panel safely. The panel weighs approximately 85 lbs.
4. Reassemble the boiler components (ceramic stand, ceramic sleeve, back panel, etc.) If necessary, refer
to Section 3 for additional Assembly information.
5. Close the clean-out door, install and tighten the washer and nuts. Make sure that the clean-out
door and rear panel close and seal properly. Reconnect all disconnected lines (oil and air) on the
bottom of the connector block.
NOTE: You may need to bleed air from the oil line before starting the burner. See Section 5
for pertinent instructions.

Cleaning the Oil Tank

DO NOT allow water, sludge, or other debris to accumulate in your oil supply tank to the point that
non-combustible or harmful materials are drawn into the pump or burner.

Drain water and sludge from the bottom of your tank at least once a year, and more frequently with
water accumulation.

End of Season Maintenance

Turn main power to your coil tube boiler OFF at the end of the heating season. EPA regulations allow your used
oil to be burned only for "heat recovery." DO NOT operate your boiler during warm weather just to burn oil.
Contact your local Clean Burn dealer to schedule your annual burner tune-up. Allow only trained, authorized
service personnel to service your burner.

In the "off" season after the boiler has been cleaned, spray the combustion chamber with a light coat of oil to
reduce corrosion caused by moisture in the air.

NOTE: If the CTB is not used during the cold-weather months, it must be protected to prevent damage from
freezing temperatures.

Cleaning and Maintaining the Draft Inducer

The Draft Inducer will require periodic maintenance to ensure that the fan blades do not accumulate excessive ash
which can create vibration, noise, and motor wear.

1. Ensure that power has been turned OFF, and all "hot" components have been allowed to cool
sufficiently.
2. Disconnect the wires from the draft inducer and remove it from the stack penetration.
3. Clean the fan blades with a scraper and wire brush.
4. Oil the draft inducer motor according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

SECTION 10: THE CTB HYDRONIC SYSTEM


Understanding the CTB Hydronic System
The Clean Burn Coil Tube Boiler (CTB) is designed to function as a low-mass boiler (i.e. it will not maintain boil-
er water temperature when there is no call for heat). Low-mass boilers require that a sufficient, constant flow of
water be maintained through the coil in order to: (a) remove the heat from the boiler when the burner is firing
AND (b) prevent the flow switch from shutting off the burner.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When designing the system layout and application for your CTB, keep in mind that it is
NOT suitable for open systems. The Clean Burn CTB has been designed to operate as an ASME Section IV Boil-
er (i.e. closed loop boiler system). Potable water heating (i.e. for domestic or washing purposes) can be accom-
plished by incorporating a heat exchanger into the system.

Special Safety Guidelines for the Design and Installation of Hydronic Systems

Adhere to the following Safety Guidelines when designing and setting up the CTB hydronics system:
• The CTB must be installed on non-combustible flooring.
• The CTB must be installed in accordance with national, state, and local plumbing, heating,
and electrical codes and the regulations of the serving utilities which may differ from this
manual. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installations are made.
In all cases, reference should be made to the following standards:

(1) Current Edition of American National Standard ANSI/NFPA 31, "Installation of Oil Burning
Equipment" for clearances between boiler, vent connector and combustible material.
(2) Current Edition of American National Standard ANSI/NFPA 211, "Chimneys, Fireplaces,
Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances" for chimney requirements, type of venting material
and clearances between vent connector pipe and combustible materials.
(3) Current Edition of American Society of Mechanical Engineers ASME CSD-1, "Controls and
Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers" for assembly and operation of controls and safety
devices.

• The heating system must be designed by a competent hydronics contractor, and only persons
knowledgeable in the layout and installation of hydronic heating systems should install this
boiler.
• The boiler must be connected to an approved chimney in good condition. Serious property
damage could result if the boiler is connected to a dirty or inadequate chimney. The interior
of the chimney flue must be inspected periodically through the heating season for any
obstructions. A clean and unobstructed chimney flue is necessary to allow noxious fumes
that could cause serious injury to vent safely and will contribute toward maintaining
the boiler's efficiency.
• It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see that all controls are correctly
installed and are operating properly when the installation is completed.
• To ensure optimum performance, qualified personnel must perform proper and timely
maintenance on the CTB according to the procedures provided in Section 9 of this manual.

10-1
Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB, and CB-500-CTB

CTB System Function and Configuration

Water Flow and Temperature


The Clean Burn Coil Tube Boiler design requires continuous water flow through the boiler heat
exchanger to ensure proper system operation. The boiler circulator must be capable of developing sufficient
(head) pressure to overcome the resistance of the boiler plus the circulating system at the required GPM. If the
water flow through the boiler is too low, the flow switch will not allow the
burner to operate. (Refer to Appendix A, as needed, for CTB system specifications.)

Heating systems using zone valves, zone pumps, or three-way valves may experience reduced water flow through
the boiler. This condition can cause excessive water temperature rise and unstable boiler operation. The normal
temperature rise across the boiler is 20 oF. Minimum operating temperature for the CTB is 180 oF. To avoid
condensation, the return water temperature should not fall below 140 oF.

Boiler Mixing Valve 140 oF


Provided with the boiler plumbing is a 140 oF Mixing Valve set up to blend cold water return from the system to
maintain a proper temperature (above 140 oF) for the “Non-condensing” design of the CTB. For optimal boiler
operation with the Mixing Valve, and when burning used oils, it is recommended to run the boiler “hot” (180 oF
to 200 oF). Therefore the operating aquastat setting should be no less than 180 oF. The high limit aquastat
factory recommended setting is 220-240 oF.

The 140 oF Mixing Valve must be installed according to Figure 10B or 10C and must be as close as possible to
the suction side of the boiler circulator. This allows the by-pass loop to function properly. When starting the
boiler from cold (room temperature) the boiler water temperature will be able to come up above 140 oF within 5
to 7 minutes (variance caused by unit settings and type of fuel). As the boiler temperature rises above 160 oF the
Mixing Valve will modulate and allow more system return water to be mixed into the boiler therefore supplying
more hot water to the zones.

System Pressure
The Clean Burn CTB is designed to operate in closed, pressurized hydronic systems. Certain levels of pressure
are required for proper system operation--a minimum of 12 PSI should be maintained on the system where the
boiler supply water temperature is 200 oF or less. If a higher working pressure is required, contact the Clean
Burn Service Department for proper pressure requirements.

Sample System Configuration: Primary/Secondary Pumping System


A sample hydronic system setup using Clean Burn Coil Tube Boilers is shown in Figure 10A. This system,
a Primary/Secondary Pumping System, allows for many special hydronic requirements (e.g. water return
temperatures below the normal 140 oF, variable flow zones, multiple zones, multi-temperature systems, and/or
multiple boilers) and provides maximum flexibility while maintaining optimal system functioning. A critical
advantage of this type of system is that it dramatically reduces the danger of thermal shock to the boiler.

CTB System Function and Configuration (continued)

In a Primary/Secondary Pumping System (as shown in Figure 10A), the primary loop circulator runs when any
of the zones call for heat. In some system setups, the circulator may run continuously during the heating season.
The circulator pushes hot water past the zone tees; any of the secondary zone pumps can draw hot water out of
the first tee (as though the tee were a boiler). Each zone then returns cooler water through the second tee where it
mixes with the hot water being pushed through by the primary loop circulator. The close positioning of the two
zone tees is crucial to the operation of the system; the tees must be at least 6" but not more than 12" apart.
This allows for circulators of different flow rates to be used in the same system while maintaining proper flow and
functioning.

CTB Setup Options

When designing and setting up the CTB Hydronic System, please be aware of the following options and special
setup requirements:

(1) The boiler circulator (which you may have ordered from Clean Burn for your CTB system) is sized to
ensure a flow of water through the coil tube ONLY; it is NOT sized to be used as a system circulator. The boiler
circulator must be installed according to Figures 10B and 10C, after the mixing valve. An additional circulator
must be installed to flow water through the system and to the boiler.

(2) In low load conditions, Clean Burn recommends the installation of a larger storage tank next to the CTB to
extend the run time and to reduce the occurrence of short cycling. Position the tank close to the boiler to reduce
the required connective piping as shown in sample configuration, Figure 10B.

(3) If hot water is required in the system installation for washing or other related activities, Clean Burn offers
Ergomax Heat Exchangers/Storage Tanks in various sizes. Contact your local Clean Burn representative for
additional details on these CTB system components. Refer to Figure 10C for a sample system configuration using
an Ergomax Heat Exchanger. This configuration is ideal for installations requiring pressure washing, car/truck
washing, etc. The Ergomax unit works well with a CTB because it stores boiler water in the tank and acts as a
buffer (tempering) tank while enabling reduction of short cycling.

Guidelines for CTB Setup and Operation


1. Refer to the appropriate illustration in this section for your CTB system configuration, as well as
Figures 4A/4B in the Installation chapter.
2. Connect the supply and return piping to the heating system. (Additional information in
Section 4).
CAUTION: Hot water pipes shall have clearances of at least 1/2" from all combustible
surfaces. For additional technical reference material, see I=B=R Installation and Piping Guide
No. 200.
3. The relief valve must be installed with the spindle in the vertical position. The relief valve
discharge pipe must be extended to within four inches of the floor or to a drain.
4. To reduce the amount of cold water returned to the boiler (and to protect the boiler from thermal
shock), a return blend loop should be utilized.
5. Fill the entire heating system with water and vent air from the system according to the following
instructions:
(a) Close the isolation valve in the boiler supply piping.
(b) Isolate all circuits by closing the zone valves or balancing valves.
(c) Attach a hose to the purge valve located just below the isolation valve in the boiler supply
piping.
NOTE: Ensure that the end of the hose drains into a bucket located in a drain area or
outside.
(d) Starting with one circuit, open the first zone valve ONLY.
(e) Open the purge valve.
(f) Open the fill valve (the make-up water line should be located on the system side of the
isolation valve in the boiler supply piping.)
(g) Allow water to overflow from the bucket until discharge from the hose is bubble-free.
ATTENTION: Air in the hose may cause the hose to "jump" and water to spray out;
ensure that the area (and equipment nearby) is protected from any possible water damage.
(h) Open the zone valve to the second zone to be purged, then close the first. Repeat this step
until all zones have been purged, but always have one zone open. At completion, open all
zone valves.
(i) Close the purge valve, continue filling the system until the pressure gauge reads 12 psi.
Close the fill valve.
NOTE: If the make-up water line is equipped with a pressure reducing valve, the system
will automatically fill to 12 psi.
(j) Open the isolation valve in the boiler supply piping.
(k) Remove the hose from the purge valve.
(l) As soon as the boiler is filled, heat the water in the boiler to 180 oF to de-aerate the water.

10-7
Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB, and CB-500-CTB

Guidelines for Preventing Oxygen Contamination

ATTENTION: Oxygen contamination of boiler water will cause corrosion of iron and steel boiler
components, and can lead to boiler failure (and void warranty). Causes of oxygen contamination
include:
• Addition of excessive make-up water as a result of system leaks
• Absorption through open tanks and fittings
• Oxygen permeable material in the distribution system

To ensure optimal CTB maintenance and operation, follow these recommendations to eliminate
damaging oxygen contamination:
• Repair system leaks to eliminate the need for the addition of make-up water
• Eliminate open tanks from the system
• Eliminate and/or repair leaky fittings
• Use non-permeable materials in the distribution system
• Isolate the boiler from the water heater system (i.e. wash and potable waters) by installing a
heat exchanger.

Guidelines for Initial Cleaning of the Hydronics System and Maintaining Water Quality

• Clean the boiler with an alkaline cleaner (e.g. soda ash or detergent) as recommended by a
qualified water treatment company.
NOTE: This is necessary to remove oil or other coatings from the tube surfaces. These
protective coatings are commonly applied to new tubes to prevent rusting during storage/
transit and will cause corrosion if left on the tubes during operation of the boiler.
• After cleaning the boiler, drain the system in a manner and to a location that hot water can be
discharged safely.
• Remove plugs from all available locations, and wash the water side of the boiler as
thoroughly as possible using a high-pressure water stream.
• Refill the system with fresh water.
• Test the pH of the water in the system. The pH should be higher than 8.5 but lower than 9.5.
Add appropriate boiler water treatment compounds as recommended by your qualified water
treatment company (if necessary) to bring the pH within the specified range.
• Heat the water in the boiler to 180 oF to de-aerate the water.

Guidelines for CTB Operation

After proper and safe CTB burner setup and installation has been accomplished, CTB operation
proceeds as follows:
(a) Refer to Section 6 for instructions on starting the CTB.
(b) Following burner startup, set the operating control dial at 180-200 oF.

ATTENTION: If, during normal operation, it is necessary to add water to your system more than once a year,
consult a qualified service technician to check your system for leaks. A leaky system will increase the volume of
make-up water supplied to the boiler which can significantly shorten the life of the boiler and cause damage to the
boiler.

ATTENTION: Make sure the electrodes are adjusted to the specifications in these diagrams. Correct
clearances must be maintained to avoid stray arcing. The minimum clearance to any ground source is
3/16". Stray arcing results in a weak spark, late burner ignition, and transformer failure.

NOTE: Clean Burn recommends the use of a special tool (CB Part# 70306) to set the retension head.

The burner electrodes should be replaced annually to maintain proper burner performance.

• Install the electrodes according to the setting and specifications in these diagrams.
• Use the shank of a 1/8" drill bit as a feeler gauge to set the spark gap at 1/8".

Removing the Nozzle for Cleaning:

NOTE: Due to swivel fittings on the air and oil lines, it is not necessary to disconnect these lines when
swinging the burner open.
1. Remove the lock-down nut on the mounting flange bolt.
2. Disconnect the burner power cable.
3. Carefully swing the burner open to its maintenance position.
4. Remove the nozzle from the nozzle adapter with a 5/8" socket.

Cleaning the Nozzle:

1. Unscrew the stem from the nozzle head.


2. Spray WD-40 or equivalent through the orifice to thoroughly remove any blockage.
CAUTION: DO NOT damage or deform the nozzle orifice; DO NOT use a torch tip
cleaner or other inappropriate device to clean the orifice. If the blockage is a "tarry"
material or a hard, black material, call your Clean Burn dealer for service.
3. Flush all components with WD-40 to remove oil residues.
4. Reassemble the nozzle components. When tightening the stem, just barely "snug" it down.
DO NOT overtighten.
5. Check the O-ring on the nozzle stem. Replace the O-ring if it is in the least bit cut or
deformed.
6. Lubricate the O-ring on the nozzle stem with a couple of drops of new motor oil, then re-
install the nozzle.
7. Check the electrodes for proper gap and clearances.
8. Re-install the burner and adjust for optimal performance as necessary.

NOTE: If the nozzle plugs within a few days after cleaning, call your Clean Burn Dealer for service.

Coil Tube Boiler Operator's Manual: Models CB-200-CTB, CB-350-CTB, and CB-500-CTB

The CTB sequence of operation is summarized as follows:

(1) A call for heat by the thermostat energizes the DPDT relay which in turn energizes the
circulator delay relay and the boiler loop circulator to establish a flow of water through the
coil.
(2) The low water cut-off "proves" the water level inside the boiler and allows the flow switch to
close. The power then continues from the flow switch through the high limit aquastat,
through the operating aquastat, and then to the burner.
(3) If the burner ignites within approximately 15 seconds and the cad cell sees flame, the burner
will continue to operate until the call for heat is satisfied or the setting of the operating
aquastat is reached.
(4) If the thermostat is not satisfied, but the temperature setting of the operating aquastat is
reached, the burner will stop until the return water drops the water temperature in the boiler
(re-closing the operating aquastat and turning the burner back on).
(5) The boiler loop circulator will operate as long as the thermostat is calling for heat.
(6) The boiler loop circulator circuit includes a delay relay that keeps the circulator operating
approximately ten minutes after the call for heat is satisfied.
