Boiler Commissioning & Functional Testing - Quality Assurance

The document discusses the process of commissioning and functionally testing a hot water boiler. It states that the commissioning process can be streamlined by coordinating the functional testing with the start-up technician, test and balance crew, and Cx technician. During start-up, the technician should test and verify proper boiler function and generate a report. The Cx technician can then verify essential data by coordinating with the start-up technician and test and balance crew. After receiving final reports, the Cx technician performs a thorough functional test of the boiler system.

Boiler Commissioning & Functional Testing - Quality

Assurance
Functional testing of a hot water boiler in the commissioning process can be streamlined if
coordinated properly. Much of the Functional Testing Procedure can be accomplished by
coordinating with the start up technician or engineer and the test and balance crew. During start
up the boiler start-up technician should test and verify the proper function of the boiler per
manufacturers specifications. During and after the start up the technician should generate a
report of all start-up work done including adjustments, calibrations, and test data collected
during the start up. The Cx Technician or Engineer can then verify first-hand essential data
needed to complete the Functional Testing Procedure document. The same applies by
coordinating with the Test and Balance crew.

Boiler Commissioning & Functional Testing Basic Physical


Overview
After the start up and test and balance is complete and all final reports are received from the
start up and test and balance crews then the Cx tech can perform a thorough functional test of
the boiler or boiler system. The following are not all inclusive to every boiler installation. The list
should be tailored for each individual installation. Initial checks of the boiler should include:
Outside equipment should be checked for proper insulation

Equipment is clean and free of any physical damage including any debris inside of any control
panels.
 All safety devices, including the pressure relief valve, have been tested and tagged according to
local code and national requirements.
 All unit identification tags, piping labels, operating manuals, maintenance checklist, and basic
documentation are with the boiler(s).
 All pipes have been flushed and strainers cleaned.
 Piping insulation is complete (especially for outside piping).
 All electrical connections are tight including all ground connections.
 All breakers for the boiler system including associated pumps are labeled properly for the
source.
 Boiler drain is accessible and can be drained to a sanitary drain near the boiler drain.
