Pre Start-Up Installation Check List
(Cogeneration Systems Burners)

Are your Cogeneration Systems Burners - Duct, In-line, Side Fire or CPF ready for start-up? Use the following items to determine if they are.

By completing the following form you can reduce the startup expense for your burner equipment. The form below allows both Coen and yourself help to identify portions of the project that should be completed prior to sending a Coen Service Representative to the job site. By completing the form, you can minimize "stand by time" and/or travel expenses. A Coen Representative will contact you once the form has been submitted.

Preview of Pre Start-Up Installation Form:
 

Turbine, Fresh Air Fan Systems, Blowers and Dampers

Fact: Without an operational turbine or fresh air fan system providing combustion air, the burner(s) CANNOT be operated.

  • Is the turbine and/or fan operational?
  • If not, when will the turbine and/or fan become operational?
  • If applicable, are all blowers, dampers, and diverters operational?
 

Field Wiring

  • Has wiring between all Coen furnished electrical enclosures completes as shown on Coen's Wiring Schematic Diagrams?
  • Are all damper and diverter position switches wired to Coen supplied control enclosures per Coen Wiring Schematic
    Diagrams?
  • Are all "ship loose" items (See Coen Bill of Materials) wired per Coen's Wiring Schematic Diagrams?
  • Has all wiring to Coen control enclosures been reviewed to verify that all contact requirements have been satisfied?
 

Fluid Systems

Fact: Field installed interconnecting piping between Coen furnished equipment is often filled with debris. The debris will not only delay the start-up, but will also clog burner orifices and damage valve seats and seals.

  • Prior to connecting process lines to Coen equipment, were all fuel, air and steam lines cleansed of all debris?
  • If purging of the gas lines require certification, had certification been obtained?
  • Are strainers provided upstream of Coen furnished piping to prevent entry of foreign materials into fuel control valves, safety devices and burner components?
  • If the burner required atomizing steam, is the steam line trapped to atmosphere assuring a dry steam source?
  • Have drip legs been installed upstream and downstream of the Coen Piping Module to trap and drain turbine exhaust
    condensate in all lines prior to firing the burner?
 

Control Systems

  • If applicable, is a programmable logic controller (PLC) field terminal available on site?
  • If not, should Coen provide a terminal?
 

Testing

  • Are flow measuring devices provided and operable to determine capacity of either the burner or the fired vessel?
  • have the provisions been made for full load testing or venting?
  • Is there an ample fuel supply to operate the burner and pilot(s)?
 

Are qualified operators available for start-up?
