Model ST Series II Electric Steam Boiler

Specification

1. General

Furnish and install as shown on the plans ____ electric steam boilers, fabricated per these specifications, including all accessories and construction features as described herein.  Boilers shall be completely factory assembled and pre-tested prior to shipment.  Boilers shall be UL labeled and shall include an ASME Section IV “H” (15 PSI design) or Section I “M” (Modes ST12 and ST16@ 100 PSI design) or “S” (units above limitations of “H” and “M”)  pressure vessel which has been fabricated under inspection by an authorized inspector holding a National Board commission and subsequently stamped and National Board registered.  Units greater than 117 KW shall also comply with CSD-1.

2. Ratings

Boilers shall each be PRECISION “Series II’ Model No. ST____-_____ rated _____KW, designed and fabricated for a balanced 3-phase, 3-wire, delta load at ____volts, 3-phase, ___hertz.  The boilers shall be designed for ____PSI and shall produce ______lbs. Stm/HR (from and at 212°F).

3. Pressure Vessel

The pressure vessel and all trim shall be as set forth in the ASME Code, including ASME "HV" stamped safety relief valve sized as required.  The vessel shall be provided with a (threaded) (flanged) _____” outlet, plus safety valve, feedwater inlet, and surface and bottom blowdown connections as required.  The pressure vessel shall be housed in a 16-gauge steel enclosure allowing 3 inches of insulation space around the vessel and filled with 3 inches of ¾ pound density fiberglass insulation.  The electric panel and vessel shall be mounted on a common, structural steel base with overall dimensions of the unit not to exceed ____" D x ___" W x 52" H.

4. Internal Power Distribution

The power distribution shall be through cable connection to mechanical lugs. Power shall be fed through current limiting fuses to magnetic contactors, and then to the heating element circuits.  Contactors shall be 3-pole magnetic contactors tested by UL/ULC for 500,000 cycles at full load.  The coil voltage shall be 120-volts Internal wiring shall be in accordance with UL & NEC.

5. Heating Elements

Elements shall be individually mounted in steel flanges.  The flange size shall not exceed 2 1/2 inches square, with a maximum of three single-bend U-shaped element blades per flange.  Element sheath material shall be Incoloy; element watt density shall be 75 WSI.

6. Controls

The control circuit shall be 120-volt single-phase, one side grounded. Control voltage shall be provided by an integral control circuit transformer, fused on both legs of the primary, with a control circuit fuse on the ungrounded leg of the secondary.  The controls shall include an ON/OFF switch, preheat (manual limit) switch (above 240KW), proportional pressure control and solid state sequence step control (_____ steps) (above 3 stages), indicator lights for each stage of heating, a combination float-type level control/low water cut-off, a manual reset low water cutoff,and one auto reset and one manual reset high limit temperature switches.

7. Manufacturer

Boilers shall be PRECISION Model ST_____-______or approved equivalent.  Alternate bids shall indicate any deviations from these specifications, and shall state price additions or deductions for substitution of said alternates.
