Check whether feedwater control system is operational.
Check boiler water condition; if necessary, blow down the boiler.
Make necessary countermeasures with regard to the feed and boiler water treatment.
Check the function of oil burner at different capacities through the inspection holes on the boiler.
Check the flue gas temperature and check the manometer for pressure drop of air in the boiler tubes.
Clean the generating tube bank, if the temperature or draft loss is too high.
Clean the rotary cup as required depending on the oil quality.
Check V belt tension.
Blow through each water level glass for about 10-15 seconds.
Every Week
In case of contaminated boiler water or insufficient water treatment, draining of water level gauges must be done often.
