Series 4VT Steam Boiler Sample Specifications (6-70 HP, 15-250 Psi)
1.1 The boiler shall be Hurst Boiler & Welding Co., Inc., Series 4VT hp
designed for psig. The boiler operating pressure shall be .
1.2 The boiler shall have a maximum output of Btu/hr, or horsepower
when fired with oil or natural gas, 1,000 Btu/cu. ft. Electrical power available
shall be volt cycle phase.
2.1 The four pass vertical tubeless boiler is to have the burner mounted in the center
of the boiler at approximately mid height so as to provide for easy access for
servicing. Mounting of burners at the bottom of the boiler or from the top of the
boiler is not acceptable. Adequate hand holes must not be exposed to the
fireside of the boiler. Boiler will make use of welded convection fins to enhance
heat transfer and to distribute the flow of flue gasses.
2.2 Fireside heat exchange areas must be accessible from the top and bottom of the
boiler. Removable access plates are to be provided with brass nuts. The flow of
flue gasses shall not include swirlers, turbulators, or other add on devices. The
use of flame retainers or baffles in the combustion chamber is not acceptable.
2.3 The boiler furnace crown shall be water-cooled. The burner shall fire into the
water-cooled furnace and shall not pass under the bottom mud ring of the boiler.
A boiler blowdown connection shall be provided in the bottom of the boiler. The
steam chamber shall cover the entire top of the boiler with convection rods for dry
steam delivery.
2.4 Unit(s) shall be provided with minimum 2” thick mineral wool insulation. The
boiler shall be lagged with 22-gauge thick carbon steel jacket. The boiler jacket
shall feature a bottom side primer of polyurethane resin base coat of .2 mil. dry
finish thickness and a final coat of .4 mil. dry thickness of valspar. The top side
(exterior) of the jacket shall feature a primer of .3 mil. Dry finish thickness and a
final coat of .8 mil. dry finish thickness of valspar polyurethane resin base paint.
The application of the paint is to be automated roller type and is to be oven
dried. The exterior finish of the boiler jacket shall have a limited warranty by the
manufacturer for five (5) years from the date of manufacture for chalking, fade,
peeling, or blistering.
2.5 The entire boiler base frame and other components shall be factory painted
before shipment, using a hard-finish enamel coating.
Tubeless Boilers Series 4VT
3.6.1 Provide a ¾” stainless steel chemical feed quill with a built in check valve, factory
mounted on boiler.
3.6.2 Provide a 316 stainless steel water sample cooler, factory mounted on boiler.
3.6.4 Provide factory mounted and piped bottom blowdown assembly including one (1)
quick opening and one (1) slow opening blowdown valves, all piped to a
common blowdown header discharge at the rear of the boiler.
3.6.5 Provide a top mounted surface blowdown assembly including a factory supplied
and mounted skimmer tube, and an automatic surface blowdown controller
which opens and closes a motorized valve based on intermittent operator
selected intervals measuring the conductivity of the boiler water.
Tubeless Boilers Series 4VT
3.6.6 A factory supplied main steam valve shall include an O S & Y gate valve. It shall
be factory hydro tested with the boiler and included on the ASME P6 data report.
4.0 Burner
4.1 The combination burner shall be of the forced draft annular port flame retention type
suitable for burning natural or manufactured gas air atomizing type for burning No. 2 oil.
The burner shall burn the specified quantity of fuel without objectionable vibrations,
noise, or pulsation with no CO in the products of combustion. (The burner shall meet
< ppm Nox while firing on natural gas utilizing flue gas recirculation
technology). The burner shall be factory installed and wired, shall bear the listing
mark of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. evidencing compliance with requirements of
UL-796 for gas burners and UL 296 for oil burners. The entire boiler and burner unit
shall be factory fire tested prior to shipment with a copy of the fire test being supplied to
the owner.
following: oil pressure relief valve, suction strainer, vacuum and pressure gauge, and
motor starter. The oil pump assembly shall ship loose for field installation.
5.2 Oil Piping
The oil burner piping shall include automatic oil safety valve, oil metering valve,
fuel filter, and all necessary piping, and linkages for full modulation operation, all
mounted and piped on the unit. Pressure gauge shall be provided to indicate oil
pressure and air atomizing pressure. The unit shall have a low air pressure
switch interlocked to prevent burner operation in the event of air pressure failure.
7.0 Warranty
8.0 Execution
8.1 Tests
The packaged boiler must receive factory tests to check the construction,
controls, and operation of the unit. The purchaser, if desired may witness all
tests.
