General Application Preventive maintenance definitions, policies, and procedures for general application are in AR 420-22. Supervision of heating plants and systems is a function of

9、eating Supervisor This term is used throughout this manual to facilitate expression in explaining procedures and practices. Its use should not be construed as influencing the duties assigned to particular per- sonnel. (The individual in charge of maintenance (and opera- tion of heating plants and sy
10、stems will observe proper channels to correct unsatisfactory maintenance procedures by personnel not directly under his supervision.) 5. Broad Considerations The heating supervisor will- a. Take positive action to remove the cause of recurrent main- tenance problems as opposed to merely performing o

Carry out preventive maintenance inspections and services so there is a minimum of interference with user activities. c. Provide for the accomp

Train maintenance personnel to improve their efficiency, and to observe safety practices. TAG0 B

A complete picture of the heating facilities is necessary for effective maintenance planning, In surveying these facilities
14、 (low pressure and low capacity high pressure steam systems, hot water heating systems, warm air furnaces, unit heaters, di- rect fired space heaters, and domestic water heaters), a study of record drawings, real property records (SR 735-73), and other data (par. 8) will simplify the job for the hea
15、ting super- visor. b. Considering the components of the heating plants and sys- tems, the heating supervisor will determine the scope of pre- ventive maintenance-what is to be done and who should do it. (Section III sets forth procedures for preventive maintenance services and technical inspections
16、; additional guidance is given in TMs 5-642, 5-644, and 5-646. Consult manufacturers litera- tere for preventive maintenance of special equipment.) c. While most of the heating preventive maintenance services are performed by personnel of the domestic heating plants unit, certain tasks are more econ
17、omically performed by other per- sonnel. Such tasks will be designated by the heating super- visor who, through coordination and inspection, assures ade- quacy of the work performed. In designating tasks for others (operators of heating equipment on a constant attendance basis, roving patrol operato
18、rs, using personnel (building occupants), building preventive maintenance teams) , the heating super- visor will be guided by their capabilities for doing the work re- quired. d. The tasks remaining will be those to be accomplished by the domestic heating plants unit. Generally, the personnel in thi
19、s unit are qualified and have the tools to perform the tasks re- quired. However, instances may arise where special skills or tools are required to service certain types of equipment, for instance electronic temperature control equipment. Where these exceed the capabilities of the unit prsonnel, thc
20、 technical assistance should be requested from the manufacturer. In planning the preventive maintenance work to be directly performed by the unit personnel, the heating supervisor : I . 4 TAG0 916B e 380 3 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-
21、,-,-3515787 0201587 528 . Prepares a wall chart showing functions which should be performed periodically and when. Fits the man-hours available in the unit to the work to be performed by the unit to assure that periodic inspections and services of all parts of the heating facilities are covered in t
22、he program. Divides the workload into written work assignments in the form of notebooks containing inspection and guide sheets (sec. III), special instructions, and space for remarks by workmen requiring decision of the heating supervisor. (The necessity for writing the work assignments cannot be ov
23、eremphasized, for until this is done there is no way to check the coverage of the program.) 7. Execution As a means of asuring coverage, the heating supervisor will maintain a record of assignments to workmen in the unit and check off tasks as they are completed. This record should show name of work
24、man, the task assigned, the scheduled completion date, and the actual completion date. 8. Records a. General. A good system of record keeping is essentia1 for safe, efficient, and economical operation of heating plants and systems, and for planning and executing an effective pre- ventive maintenance
25、 program. In addition to assignment notebooks, charts, and real property records previously mentioned, the following are examples of records which have been found useful to heating supervisors : b. Examples. Location map. A map dividing the installation into zones provides a simple means of locating
26、 the equip ment to be maintained. (Mount the map on a conven- ient wall in the domestic heating plants unit; use the map in preparing schedules and work assignments; and establish a simple procedure for keeping the map up to date.) Equipment lists. Lists of heating equipment showing type, building l
27、ocation, and manufacturer, which are useful for scheduling prevent.ive maintenance inspec- tions and services. Master chart. The wall chart referred to in paragraph 6d(l) may also be used to indicate, in addition, build- 3-83 4 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted wit

If excessive carbon has formed, check and adjust oil flow and draft in accordance with manufacturers in-
43、structions. Make sure pot is perfeltly level (if not, soot will form). Remove and examine strainer; clean as necessary. (2) Vertical rotary burner. Lubricate motor bearings in accordance with manufacturers instruction. Observe motor and burner operation. Turn off electric switches and inspect oil di

Clean off soot or carbon and correct any conditions causing improper operation like flame ring out of level, dirty oil, dirty cup, dirty or misalined electrodes
45、or gas pilot (TM 5-644). Examine for broken or cracked refractory. (3) Pressure atomizing gun type oil burner. Examine oil pump gland seal for leakage. Examine air inlet, elec- trodes, and nozzles and if necessary clean without re- moving these elements. Never use a metal needle to clean nozzle orif
46、ice. TM 5-644 contains detailed clean- ing instructions. If flame impinges on refractory and nozzle cannot readily be cleaned in position, replace with new element. If oil does not flow freely, turn off burner and remove and clean oil strainer. If air or oil adjustment is made, arrange to have burne
47、r reset with a flue-gas tester. (4) Horizontal rotary burner. Examine burner, atomizing cup nozzle and ignition electrodes of gas pilot; clean, if neccssary. Light burner and check for smooth, quick ignition. Flame should be clear o smoke and yellowish after stabilizing, but not extremely bright. A
48、white flame indicates excessive air. A very red flame with smoky tips indicates too little air. A trace of smoke immediately after ignition which clears quickly as the flame stabilizes and the refractory heats may be ex- pected with a well adjusted burner.

If air or oil adjustment 11 TAC30 01B Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-D 3535789 0203594 768 is made, notify the heating supervisor to arrange for adjustment of burner with a flue gas analyzer (AR 420-49). d.
