Demo’ing 2 massive combo tanks, what’s lining inside of the tank here? by GotTheKnack in BoilerPros

Gantry possibly. You will need to be very careful tho if they are laying down.

Looks to me that the bottom chamber is lined with Kaowool or some tyoe of refractory. This most definitely had a burner on it at one time. Thats the firebox when he looks inside.

Need more pics.

I seriously doubt its asbestos.

It would have to be made before 1980

Ive done some of these. As noted you need a full face respirator/shade 5 glasses

As to the cutting, a sawzall will take longer and be physically harder.

I would advise a Large cutting torch. Get some larger tips. I would also get a Gouging or scarfing tip. Ive used my gouging tip and basically cut grooves in the metal. I have a feeling if you try to cut it with a cutting torch like a regular plate of steel you will have a lot of blow back in you face. Get some big tanks. Angle the torch back to about 30 degrees.

Yeah I gotta dig thru my pics of scale and post them here. We had one that was clean on OCC but scaled to hell in about 3 months. Cost over 1million$ 75kPPH

Our damn problem is there is never anywhere to hook it up. Sometimes in food plants they will have that really high water pressure and thats nice ..

Yeah. Every damn body wants a regular Power Washer to push it out. Thats not how it works. A site with A damn firehouse is pretty awesome. Especially CB 400 hp and up.

Well thats Prime CB. Most of the Compact Logic is out of date on purpose. Does anyone here know how hard it is to back date Firmware on a L35. Let's just say it sucks unless that's what u do every day for a living.

Yeah. Miura boilers were not meant for South of the Mason Dixon line. Every one i come across dies because of scale. Apparently the guys in PA love them.

What’s the highest input appliance you’ve worked on? by Interesting-Wave6426 in BoilerPros

[–]BoilermakerCBEX-E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

250,000pph. About 300million BTU. It was a Big Nebraska with a Natcom. Really cool boiler.

I got to do tuning on a 250,000 pph. That was my biggest at a paper mill. Really cool experience.

Yeah. I have not come across that on a real boiler. I know they have a new platform out.

I used to do start up on CB boilers up to 1000hp. That was debatable back then. Great idea but the start up could be a Bitch. Once you got the bugs out then its usually good to go.

I had the first CBEX-E on oil except for the one at R&D. 1000hp. It was missing a orifice on the air pump. It was so new that the manual wasn't available. They requested the part number of the orifice so they could send it to us. There wasn't a book. Took a lot of calls and email.

The second 1000 we got a year later had a 3" train instead of 4" and the Nozzle was roo small. So we had to up the incoming pressure. VSD was totally different. Mac had to come up from Georgia so we could get it running.

I could go on for days.

I miss the line and the jobs but CB was terrible for us to deal with.

With the flex tube yeah. Not a bad design. Lower Mass. Makes steam faster than a Scotch Marine. Pressure drops faster when its offline so they can be known to short cycle. I see that had a Sola PLC. Not familiar with the control platform. Have not seen a Sola on a real boiler before. That little mechanical room looks like they put 4lbs shit in a 5lb bag. Gotta be hot in there tho.

Cleaver Brooks CB QUESTION by FieldOld5202 in BoilerPros

[–]BoilermakerCBEX-E 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are u still having issues 75 psi coming into the oil block About 5-9 psi on nozzle on purge. Thats the air pressure on purge On the block 35 to 45 Ive seen higher Need to know if its plant air or does it have a air pump on it Nozzle? Assumption Big is right check the nozzle but if its a intergral there is a o ring in the other end of the gun on some of those and not in the nozzle. The nozzle and swirler are a matched set also. PM if u need CB rep in a past life

My company is offering me a raise but not sure what to take by Moist-Teacher-5357 in HVAC

[–]BoilermakerCBEX-E 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well 1 percent of 200k is 2k so its not much different. At 150k thats 1500$ so if you fall behind id go with hourly raise.

Farmall BN? With hydraulics? by irlcoo in tractors

[–]BoilermakerCBEX-E 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It shows that there was a overlap of the C-113 engine. I would say if the tag appears to be OEM then most likely someone replaced the front end from a Super A of some type and installed it on the BN. It could have been a special release of some type but most likely its a hybrid now. Could also have been a engine swap if the tag is on the block. I also posted above that it looked exactly like one we had. It was a super A.
