COAL FEED MECHANISMS - Under feed stokers05-07 05-07 COAL FEED MECHANISMS - Under feed stokers

The burning of coal is a complex operation involving the storage, handling, combustion of solid

material, together with the handling, disposal of gaseous and solid waste. The materials are abrasive

and the wear and tear on mechanical plant considerable, hence regular maintenance is vital to ensure

continuous working and a clean environment. The maintenance of each section of the coal burning

operation is examined in sequence.(See also Motors SFG 39)

WARNING. A risk assessment and method statement must be undertaken before entering any

confined space such as a hopper, flue chamber or boiler to ensure that there is adequate ventilation

and an absence of any fumes or flue gases.

FORCED DRAUGHT [PRESSURE JET] OIL CONDENSING BOILER05-13 05-13 FORCED DRAUGHT [PRESSURE JET] OIL CONDENSING BOILER

The essential feature of a condensing boiler is that to increase the efficiency the flue gases are cooled

below their dew point with the result that condensate is produced which has to be removed from the

flue via drainage pipework.

Boiler room ventilation should comply with BS 5440 -2: 2009 for boilers not exceeding 70kW and BS

6644:2005 for boilers with a capacity between 70kW and 1.8MW.

Undetected CO is poisonous, life threatening and also causes energy waste. The burner should be

quiet in operation, no excessive noise should occur when the burner ignites or shuts down. In

domestic premises, consider the installation of a CO detector that complies with BS EN 50291-1:2010

and BS EN 50292:2002.

These machines come in a wide range of sizes, the larger machines can be complex both in terms of

operation and maintenance requirements. In the case of compressors serving small air conditioning

systems which may only run during the summer months, these may require less frequent

maintenance.

For the maintenance of rotary compressors refer to the manufacturer`s maintenance instructions.

Where the installed power on the refrigeration system exceeds 25kW, a Written Scheme of

Examination may be required to comply with the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000

Service providers must be registered to an Approved Certified Scheme provider , in accordance with

the F Gas and Building Regulations.

FILTERS21-02 21-02 AIR FILTERS

Note: - In normal use air filters do not present a health and safety hazard. However used air filters do

contain quantities of dust which, unless precautions are taken, may expose maintenance personnel to

a `nuisance dust' hazard, as defined by the `Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)

Regulations'. A risk assessment must be carried out before the work starts and a method statement

produced. PPE may be needed.

Used filters should be sealed into plastic bags for disposal. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS apply.

In normal use air filters do not present a health and safety hazard. However used air filters do contain

quantities of dust which, unless precautions are taken, may expose maintenance personnel to a

`nuisance dust` hazard, as defined by the `Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH

out before the work starts and a method statement produced. Used filters should be sealed into

plastic bags for disposal. Controlled Waste Regulations apply.

Visual inspection of air filters is a the basic first action. If they are clearly dirty then they can be

changed and form part of a preventative planned maintenance program. (PPM). A better method for

filter change is based on filter change by noting increased operating pressure across the filter. When

the filter pressure is twice the initial value it is time to change. Where possible Low Energy Air Filters

should be selected so that running costs and energy use are minimised. Regular monitoring and

recording of pressure drop readings and recording of filter changes is to be encouraged.

The frequency of duct cleaning will depend upon the degree of contamination.

BS EN 15780:2011 gives three levels of cleanliness for typical applications;

Low - rooms with only intermittent occupancy e.g.

storage rooms, technical rooms.

Medium - offices, hotels, restaurants, schools,

theatres, residential homes, shopping

areas, exhibition buildings, sport buildings,

general areas in hospitals and general

working areas in industries.

High - Laboratories, treatment areas in hospitals

high quality offices.

Filter recommended inspection intervals according to the above cleanliness quality classes are; Low

and Medium 12 months and high is 6 months.

b) Intrinsically safe circuit earthing

and/or insulation

The insulation testing of intrinsically

safe circuits is necessary to confirm

that they are earthed or insulated

from earth throughout, whichever of

these conditions is required by the

original design. This requirement

may be unnecessary if an earth

fault is self revealing, for example, if

a circuit "fails safe" as result of an

earth fault or the circuit uses an

earth leakage monitoring device.

Insulation testing of intrinsically

safe systems or circuits shall only

be carried out using a test device

specifically approved for connection

to such circuits.

Where, in order to carry out these

tests, the common earth connection

to a group of barriers is

disconnected, the tests can only be

made if either the plant is free from

hazard, or if power is removed

completely from all the circuits

which depend upon that common

earth connection. This test is only

required on a sample basis.

These heaters are usually placed high up in a building and consequently are not easily accessible. A

risk assessment and method statement should be carried out. Access by stepladders is not

recommended. Regular maintenance is essential and whilst annual maintenance may be adequate in

a clean environment, dusty conditions will require more frequent maintenance. In very dusty

environments, e.g. textile factories, it may be more desirable to duct a direct combustion air line to the

heater.

Correct combustion entails the adequate mixing of the fuel with air to ensure that the fuel is

completely burnt without producing excessive smoke or diluting the combustion gases with excess air

both of which cause energy wastage. With all fossil fuels, insufficient air produces carbon monoxide, a

safety and health hazard, as undetected CO is poisonous.

ICE MAKING MACHINES34-01 34-01 ICE MAKING MACHINES

Cleaning and maintenance of ice machines and storage units is essential in preventing contamination

of ice or equipment. Where possible always follow manufacturer’s instructions for maintenance and

cleaning. A regular cleaning schedule should be established and cleaning and maintenance records

maintained. The client should inspect the interior of the machine twice a week for build up of mould or

other contaminants, and clean accordingly.

The water supply to this equipment should be taken from a potable supply via a double check valve to

prevent backflow. Check that the water supply is taken upstream of a regularly used outlet with the

minimum of intervening pipe-run, that is, less than 3 m. The supply should not be softened.

Additionally, it should be established that the usage is sufficient to avoid deterioration in water quality ,

for example that the inlet water temperature does not exceed 20°C.

The Automatic Vending Association of Britain (AVAB) codes of practice should be followed regarding

hygiene and water quality and hygienic operation of vending machines.

Disconnect ice machines before planned water disruptions.

9. Ice Scoop Ensure the ice scoop and scoop

receptacle are also cleaned with

neutral detergent and water and

dried on a regular basis or as

specified by the manufacturer

AIR COMPRESSORS Compressed air dryers40-09 40-09 AIR COMPRESSORS Compressed air dryers

The chambers of air dryers are pressure vessels and should conform with PD 5500:2009

“Specifications for unfired fusion- welded pressure vessels” or to a standard providing equal integrity.

If means are provided for isolating the dryer (and it is good practice to provide means of isolation for

all equipment), either the chambers should be constructed to withstand the maximum pressure that

can be generated by the compressor or a suitable pressure reducing valve and a safety valve should

be fitted to prevent the safe working pressure of the chambers from being exceeded.

Where there is no means of isolating the dryer from a suitable safety valve, e.g. on the receiver, and

where non-return valves are fitted to the dryer outlet (to protect it from stored energy in the system),

no safety valves are needed.

Maintenance operations should only be conducted when the system has been shut down, isolated

and fully depressurised. All connections must be undone with care, paying particular attention to the

areas that become pressurised. Do not modify or adjust control settings. Check all connections for

leakage and secure seating. Ensure all loose parts are removed or secured to the dryer before

operation.

Testing

Carry out a load test of the

generator including a 110%

overload and 50% drop test

Load Bank Testing – It should be

reviewed and decided why do this

type of testing and what are its

benefits, versus the risks of not

doing this type of testing.

1) Can the facility`s critical load be

taken off line or placed onto a

generator backup in order to have

this type of testing performed?

2) Where will the load banks be

staged? What type of heat will be

generated and how will the added

heat affect the building? When

doing large system tests there will

be a large amount of heat

generated and that can affect

sprinkler systems if the load banks

are staged inside of the building.

3) Are doors going to have load

bank cables ran through them so

that the doors can not be locked or

used for normal use, this may

require extra security personnel

during testing?

In addition, on some older systems

it can make perfect sense to do a

system test with load banks in order

to re-calibrate the system and the

modules. On some of these older

systems that use calibration

potentiometers, these

potentiometers can drift out of

calibration over the years and by

performing a recalibration it will

insure that the system is operating

at peak performance

Carry out all work and provide all services required to all areas specified. Routine inspection work

includes inspection of installations generally in accordance with 17th Edition of IEE Regulations. Refer

to requirements of BS7671:2008. Testing should be carried out in the following sequence to the

relevant items: Continuity of protective conductors, main and supplementary bonding. Continuity of

ring final circuits. Insulation resistance. Site applied insulation. Protection by separation of circuit.

Protection by barriers or enclosures provided during erection. Insulation of non conducting floor and

walls. Polarity. Earth electrode resistance. Earth fault loop impedance. Operation or residual current

devices (RCD). Electrical testing should be carried out by a competent qualified electrician fully versed

in the system installed. The incoming supply to distribution switch boards must be isolated by locking

off LV circuit breakers, fuse switches and supplies from other distribution switchboards as detailed on

record drawings, as determined on site by the provider and as instructed by the client before any work

commences.

Installation should be checked with suitable, reliable test equipment. Precautions must be taken to

ensure tripped circuit devices cannot be accidentally closed, by either padlocking in the `OFF` position

or withdrawing the device as applicable. Where incoming supplies have been isolated, certain

auxiliary / control supplies may be `LIVE` due to external sources, e. g. Battery units.

It is essential that results from installation testing are recorded and the records are maintained and

updated annually.

Any electrical systems found to deviate from regulatory recommendation should be identified and

appropriate repair action taken.

Frequency shown is a guideline, actual frequencies will vary according to the type of installation, type

and use of building and the findings of any previous inspection.

REFRIGERANT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM46-01 46-01 REFRIGERANT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

Personnel carrying out leak checking, gas recovery or other refrigerant handling activities such as

plant installation and maintenance must have a suitable refrigerant handling qualification. These

works are covered under EC Regulation 842/2006, Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases Regulations 2009

(FGG Regulations 2009)

Check for leaks should be part of the routine servicing. “Checked for leakage” means that the Joints,

valves including stems, seals, including seals on replaceable driers and filters, parts of the system

subject to vibration, connections to safety or operational devices of the equipment or system is

examined for leakage using direct or indirect measuring methods, focusing on those parts of the

equipment or system most likely to leak. The frequency of testing depends on refrigerant charge and

system type.

Systems containing: <3 kg no leak test required, 3 kg to 30 kg annual leak test required, 30 kg to 300

kg half yearly leak test required and >300 kg quarterly leak test required.

Hermetically sealed systems: <6 kg no leak test required, 6 kg to 30 kg annual leak test required, 30

kg to 300 kg half yearly leak test required and >300 kg quarterly leak test required.

These applications must also be checked for leakage within one month after a leak has been repaired

to ensure that the repair has been effective.

Plants with more than 300 kg must be fitted with a leakage detection system, which is defined as: “a

calibrated mechanical, electrical or electronic device for detecting leakage of refrigerants which, on

detection, alerts the operator”. The detection system must be checked at least once a year to ensure

proper functioning in line with manufacturers’ recommendations.

For any plant fitted with a leakage detection system (including those below the mandatory 300 kg

threshold), the frequency of leak checking can be halved, although an annual check remains the

minimum frequency.

The Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001 set minimum standards. They do

not change other legislation under which it is an offence to cause water pollution . Variations in local

conditions may mean more stringent standards are needed to prevent pollution.

If there is a spill, immediate action must be taken to stop the oil getting into any drains or

watercourses. Soak up the spilt oil with the contents of the spill kit in accordance with the risk

assessment. Don’t hose the spillage down or use any detergents to try to get rid of it. Notify the

Environment Agency by calling their Emergency Hotline on 0800 80 70 60.

If oil soaks into the ground, the soil soaked in oil should be removed, by a specialist company. Store

any materials that are soaked in oil in containers that won’t let the oil run away until it can be correctly

and legally disposed of.

In addition to the tasks there are daily and weekly operational tasks to be carried out including visual

checks of the oil tanks, pipework and bund. Please also see the section below [bund 3 monthly] which

refers to the removal of rain water. This must be done every time there has been heavy rainfall.

Water Quality

Testing

Carry out routine testing of the

water temperature

air temperature

The manual monitoring and

measurement of the chemical state

of the pool water should be

performed using colorimetric

comparison kits (comparator or

spectrophotometer) or commercially

available test kits using test tablets.

The accuracy of test kits should be

maintained by:

a) keeping them scrupulously clean

(including rinsing glassware

components with deionized water to

ensure that all traces of test

reagents from previous uses are

removed);

b) using separate cells for pH and

disinfectant testing;

c) not exceeding the shelf life of the

test reagents;

d) following storage instructions;

e) using only the test kit

manufacturer’s specified test

tablets;

f) diluting and testing a second

sample for disinfectant residuals if

the first gives a result at the top or

the bottom of the kit’s range;

g) using a test kit with the applicable

range for the water under test; and

h) being aware of the potential false

readings that can arise from things

like high calcium hardness and

contamination with pool cleaning

chemicals.

Where free chlorine levels are not

monitored and controlled

automatically by the water treatment

plant, manual testing should be

carried out, using commercially

available test kits and the

appropriate tablets.

These tests should be undertaken:

a) before the pool opens;

b) every 2 h during opening hours;

and

c) after it closes.

Even when free chlorine levels are

monitored and controlled by

automatic systems, chlorine levels

should be tested manually at least

three times daily at the start,

midway and at the end of each day.

The tests should monitor both free

SWIMMING POOLS - FILTERS57-03 57-03 SWIMMING POOLS - FILTERS


1. Backwashing Carry out backwashing of main

filters and discharge the back wash

water to waste. Backwash flow

should be fast enough to fluidise

the sand bed and should have a

speed of at least 30 m/h.

Fluidisation of the bed should be

checked visually if possible, through

a viewing window where provided.

Backwashing should continue at

least as long as recommended by

the manufacturer, but certainly until

the backwash water is clear.

Filters should be backwashed at

least once a week and whenever

the pressure loss across the sand

bed reaches the level specified by

the filter manufacturer.

Filters should be backwashed if the

water circulation has been stopped

(because of a failure or for

maintenance). Backwashing is best

done at the end of the working day.

Air scouring prior to the

backwashing at a speed of

approximately 32 m/h can aid the

backwashing process.

If a filter is being backwashed while

other filters are still in service, flow

to the filter should start and stop

slowly over a 15 second to 20

second period to avoid rapid flow

rate change in the in-service filters.

1WAdded

5. Filter bed Inspect the filter and the top of the

sand bed. Check for signs of

corrosion, problems with the

under-drains and problems with the

filter medium e.g. mud balling,

fissures, uneven bed.

57-04 SWIMMING POOLS - PIPEWORK, PUMPS, HEATING etc.

Once a pool is winterised then the level of regular maintenance required is very much less than during

the season. There are no hard and fast rules governing the actual date of winterising; however the

lower ambient temperature becomes the more expensive the heating becomes.

The Pool must not be emptied, without professional advice, as hydrostatic pressures can force a

concrete structure out of the ground and ground water can lift and displace liners.

All floating covers should be removed from the pool, cleaned and carefully dried and stored safely

away from vermin. Slatted covers should be cleaned and rolled away for the winter. The fitting of a

proper winter cover will help keep the majority of debris and sunlight out of the pool.

Winterising does not mean that the algae will stop growing, therefore there will be a requirement to

treat the water until the water temperature

drops to about 7°C.

Remove, clean and store all pool-side equipment and summer covers etc. Check all filtration, heating

and cleaning equipment and report on its condition. Remove and store pool cleaner if fitted. De-leaf

and clean the pool.

Check the chemical values and adjust including a shock dose. A number of chemicals which are long

lasting are available for winterisation. However the variance of winter weather and temperature affects

the longevity of these products and occasional testing is recommended

Added


Option 1

Winterisation

Lower the level of the pool water* to

approximately 30 cms below the

skimmers as a frost precaution and

plug

and empty out the skimmer. Store

the pumps in a warm environment.

Isolate all electrics and drain all

equipment such as pumps,

filters, heaters etc. Leave the pool

area and plant room in a tidy state.

1YAdded

Water Testing Check the water condition regularly

and dose if required.

This can be easily done by lifting a

corner of the cover.

Chemicals that dissolve quickly in

the summer will be slower

reacting in the winter, so pre

dissolving them is essential.

1MAdded

Option 2

Winterisation

Set the filter pump time clock

control to allow the pump to run for

one hour per day and set a frost

thermostat to 2oC. Install a bypass

around the heater and drain the

heater, electrically disconnect, or

switch off other

equipment..

Maintenance of water treatment plant is very important to avoid scaling of heat exchange surfaces in

plant which can lead to deposits and subsequent blockage of outlet fittings, in addition it can lead to

energy wastage and increased costs. The operator should refer to and be familiar with the

manufacturer`s operator`s handbook and follow the manufacturer`s recommendations regarding the

frequency at which the various maintenance functions should be carried out. These can vary

depending on the type of plant and manufacturer.

In addition to the routine checks below the client`s operator will undertake operational tasks including

checking salt levels in the salt saturator/brine tank, check and record, in the log book, inlet water

hardness and outlet (soft) water hardness. The operator will check for leaks and if present, locate
