OPERATION RECOMMENDED START-UP PROCEDURES 1. Close globe valve on outlet side of boiler. (Customer Supplied) 2. Turn on boiler and allow pressure to build up to operating pressure. 3. Only open globe valve by quarter turns at first, introducing small- er amounts of steam into process. Avoid opening globe valve all at once. This will eliminate the possibility of evacuating the boiler of water caused by the suddenly increased boiling of the water in the vessel as the pressure is reduced. On boiler
