PART 2 – BOILER PARAMETERS

2.1 BOILER CHARACTERISTICS/PERFORMANCE

2.1.1 O2 TRIM CAPABILITY: Boiler shall incorporate a high-efficiency combustion control system to maintain air/fuel ratios to ensure proper operation and provide maximum efficiency to adjust to fluctuating gas pressures and environmental conditions. The boiler must display oxygen levels directly via an on-board digital display in real-time to allow for measurement of emissions and fuel economy of the boiler without traditional combustion calibration devices. The natural gas system must comply with American Society of Mechanical Engineers Controls and Safety Devices (CSD-1) for Automatically Fired Boilers and maintain a normally open fault relay.

The system shall self-adjust in the event of any site condition changes (air density, gas pressure, BTU content, etc.) to ensure efficiency, stability, and reliability. Boiler must have a gas pressure operating range of 14” Water Column maximum and 4” Water Column at full load. Water pressure drop cross the heat exchanger must be a maximum of 3.0 PSIG@170 GPM.

2.1.2 DUAL RETURN: Boiler must incorporate dual return loops to adjust to varying load demands to maximize operational efficiency by keeping cold water separate creating a larger condensing zone that allows for an additional 6% efficiency gain.

2.1.3 BOILER CONTROL: Boiler controls must maintain constant set point, outdoor reset schedule and be compliant with Johnson Control Energy Management and Control System architecture. The boiler controls must also have capability to be sequenced and automatically adjust to prevent fluctuations in the header temperature. Boiler must incorporate on-board diagnostic capability in the event of excessive trimming or when the O2 Sensor has fallen out of calibration. Be equipped with an electric Probe Low Water Cut-off

2.1.4 EMISSIONS: Boiler must be fitted with a Low NOx burner whose emissions will meet minimum Environmental Protection Agency and Air Force Manual 32-7002 Environmental Compliance and Pollution Prevention standards.

PART 3 – START-UP/TESTING/TRAINING, DELIVERABLES, AND WARRANTY

3.1 START-UP/TESTING/TRAINING
