Hoval TKDR35 Boiler

[WHPES]

I have a new customer at a hotel with a Hoval TKDR35 (oil fired) to service which is about 35 years old. It's a bit of a leviathan. Looks like I'm going to have to climb inside it to clean it out. Need plenty of overalls!!

The burner is just a standard two stage NuWay which is straightforwards ehough.

Anyone else worked on one of these?

I wouldnt know where to start ,stuff that size scares me, I wish I had the skills and knowlege to work on industrial size stuff.

I saw something similar recently and ran away.

Phoned a reputable boiler man and he told me he serviced it once then ran away after that.

I've done big ones before (boilers that is (whoops I mean heating boilers that is)) and you do get inside them (oh dear where is this post going - better stop there)..

Joking aside, it's no different to a small one, still has baffle plates and combustion chamber to clean out, burner to strip down and service, nozzles to change, oil lines to check Combustion analysis to do, form to fill in etc no different to a smaller one. Just takes longer, you get dirtier and you charge more to do it.
