4.1 General Boiler Information

The Intergas Rapid wall mounted, gas fired boiler is a closed appliance. The appliance is intended to deliver heat to the water in a CH system and the DHW installation.

The air supply and combustion gas flue connection is as standard prepared for a concentric 60/100 horizontal flue system.

Depending on preference, the appliance may be connected to a mounting bracket, a rear piping frame with top connection. These are supplied separately.

The Intergas Rapid wall mounted gas fired boilers carry the CE label and electrical protection class P44

The Intergas Rapid 25 is suitable for supplying at least 10.5 litres of water per minute at 35°C temperature arise. The Intergas Rapid 32 is suitable for supplying at least 13 litres of water per minute.

It is possible to use the appliance solely for hot water or solely for heating. The unused system does not have to be connected. (See section 9.3)

The appliance is supplied as standard for natural gas (G20) by the manufacturer. For usage of LPG gas (G31) the boiler can be converted by changing the gas restrictor. A gas conversion kit can be ordered at Intergas Heating Ltd.

Note

Modification of the boiler can only be done by a qualified competent person.

4.2 Boiler controller

An electronic control unit, consisting of a boiler controller and separate ignition module which is placed on the gas valve, provides direct burner ignition and flame supervision along with continuous modulation of the burner's gas supply.

4.3 Parameter list

All boiler adjustments are accessible through the parameter list in the software.

4.4 Heat transfer

Heat transfer to the boiler's heating and DHW circuit is obtained via a primary, gas to water heat exchanger within a hermetically sealed combustion chamber. A modulated speed fan blows the gas/air mixture into the combustion chamber and expels the products of combustion to outside air via an associated flue system.

4.5 Central heating system

An integral pump located in the boilers hydraulic circuit circulates water through the heat exchanger to the central heating circuit. During DHW demand the pump stops functioning, so all the heat is directly transferred to the integrated DHW circuit and no transfer losses occur. In the event of reduced or interrupted water circulation in the central heating circuit, an automatic system by-pass should be fitted as far away from the boiler as possible.

Note

It is no longer permissible to utilize a non-thermostatic controlled radiator as a bypass.

4.6 Room temperature control

Room temperature can be controlled by the use of an external room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves.

Note

Connection of the room thermostat is dependant on the operating voltage of the thermostat.

Intergas Rapid 32 Plus - Note - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a rectangular electronic device with two circular ports and a base plate (no text or symbols)

4.7 Integrated clock

The boiler incorporates an integrated clock, which allows the setting of central heating periods (See the User Instructions, 'Operation and display read-out' for details) and the boiler's control panel incorporates an LED display, which indicates the state of operation and fault defect codes.

4.8 Operation

The Intergas Rapid is a wall-mounted modulating high efficiency boiler. This means that the power is adjusted to the heat demand.

In the aluminium heat exchanger two separate copper circuits have been integrated.

Because of the separated circuits for central heating and hot water, the heating and the hot water supply can operate independently of each other. The hot water supply has priority over the heating. They cannot work simultaneously.

The appliance has been provided with an electronic burner controller that controls the fan with the heat demand from the heating system or the hot water supply, opens the gas valve and ignites the burner and continuously monitors the flame and controls it dependent on the power required.

4.9 Operating modes

A code on the service display of the operating panel indicates the appliance's operating mode.

- Off

The appliance is out of operation but is supplied with electrical power. No response occurs to calls for DHW or CH. The appliance frost protection is active. This means that the pump operates and the exchanger is heated up if the temperature of the water present in it falls too far.

If the frost protection is actuated, code 7 is displayed (heating exchanger). In this operating mode the pressure in the CH installation (in Bar) can also be read on the temperature display.

□ Waiting mode

The LED at the ① button is lit and possibly one of the LEDs for the DHW comfort function. The appliance is ready to respond to a request for CH of DHW.

Running on of CH

After the end of CH operation the pump continues to run. The running on time is factory set at he value in accordance with section 9.3, page:46. This setting can be changed.

In addition, the pump runs automatically for 10 seconds once every 24 hours in order to prevent seizing. This automatic switching on of the pump occurs at the time of the last call for heat.

7 Desired temperature reached

The burner manager can temporarily block the request for heat. The burner is then stopped. Blocking occurs because the requested temperature has been reached. When the temperature has fallen sufficiently the blocking is cancelled.

2 Self-test

he connected sensors are checked regularly by the burner manager. During the check the manager does not perform any other tasks.

23.00 - +

3 Ventilation

When the appliance is started the fan is first brought to starting speed. When the starting speed has been reached the burner is lit. Code 3 is also visible when post-ventilation is taking place after the burner has stopped.

4 Ignition

When the fan has reached the starting speed, the burner is ignited by means of electrical sparks. During ignition the code 4 is visible. If the burner does not ignite, a new ignition attempt occurs after approximately 15 seconds. If after 4 ignition attempts the burner is not yet burning, the burner manager goes into fault mode. (See section 10).

5 CH operation

An of/off thermostat, an OpenTherm thermostat, an external sensor or a combination of the latter can be connected to the burner manager. (See section 11.5)

When a request for heat is received from a thermostat, the fan is started (code 3), followed by ignition(code 4) and CH operating mode(code 5)

During CH operation the fan speed and hence the appliance power are controlled by the burner manager so that the CH water temperature reaches the desired CH supply temperature.

If an on/off thermostat is connected, this is the CH supply temperature set on the display. In the case of an OpenTherm thermostat the desired CH supply temperature is determined by the thermostat.

In the case of an external sensor the desired CH supply temperature is determined by the heating line programmed in the burner manager. For the latter two, however, the maximum is the temperature set on the display.

The CH operation the requested CH supply temperature is indicated on the operating panel.

The CH supply temperature set to 75°C and can be adjusted between 30°C and 80°C. If, under circumstances a flow temperature is needed up to 90°C the value of parameter 5. (max. value for flow temperature in display) needs to be adjusted. (See section 9.1).

The actual CH supply temperature can be read by pressing the service button during CH operation.

When the DHW comfort function is switched on (See code 7) any OpenTherm request for heat of less than 40°C is ignored.

6 DHW operation

The hot water supply takes priority over the heating. If the flow switch detects a need for more than 2 l/min of DHW, any demand for CH will be interrupted. After the fan has reached speed (code 3) and ignition has taken place (code 4) the manager goes to DHW mode (code 6).

During DHW operation the fan speed, and hence the power of the appliance, are controlled by the burner manager so that the DHW water temperature reaches the DHW temperature setting.

The water temperature can be set between 40^ C and 65^ C (See section 9.1) and is displayed on the operating panel during DHW operation.

The actual DHW temperature can be read by pressing the service button during DHW operation.

7 Pre heating exchanger

To enable fast delivery of domestic hot water the burner manager is equipped with the DHW comfort function. This function maintains the temperature of the heat exchanger to an adjustable temperature (See section 9.1.). The DHW comfort function has the following settings:

  • On: (① LED on) The appliance's DHW comfort function is switched on continuously. The appliance always delivers hot water immediately.
  • Eco: (LED on) The appliance's DHW comfort function is self learning. The appliance will adapt to the pattern of use of the hot water tap. As a result, the temperature of the heat exchanger will not be maintained during the night or in the case of longer period of absence.
    It is possible to control the comfort mode by means of an Open Therm room thermostat.
  • Off: (Both LEDs off) The temperature of the heat exchanger is not maintained, as a result of which the delivery of domestic hot water takes a little time. If there is no need for fast delivery of hot water, the DHW comfort function can be switched off.

4.10 Clock function

The boiler is equipped with a digital clock and offers the possibility to program 4 points in time to switch from CH off or CH on.

During the “clock active” periods the boiler will respond on CH demands from the room thermostat. During the “clock inactive” periods the boiler will not respond on CH demands.

Additionally the following special modes can be chosen:

- t-on (temporary on). The boiler will respond to every CH demand from the room thermostat or external controls until the next switch moment.

- c-on (continuous on). The boiler will respond to every CH demand from the room thermostat or external controls without any time limit.

- OFF. The boiler will not respond to any CH demand from the room thermostat or external controls.

Note

For setting and adjusting the clock see § 9.3 Setting and adjusting the clock functions

4.11 PC Interface

The burner manager is equipped with an interface for a PC, which can be connected by means of a special cable and associated software. This facility allows the behaviour of the burner manager, the appliance and the heating installation to be monitored over a longer period.

4.12 Test programs

The burner manager has a facility for placing the appliance in test mode.

Activation of a test program will result in the appliance starting operation at a fixed fan speed, without the control functions being actuated.

The safety functions do remain active.

The test program is ended by pressing the + and - simultaneously.

4.12.1 Frost protection

Intergas Rapid 32 Plus - Frost protection - 1

  • To prevent freezing of the appliance it is equipped with appliance frost protection. If the heat exchanger temperature falls to low, the burner switches on and the pump runs until the heat exchanger temperature is sufficient. When the appliance frost protection is actuated code 7 is displayed (pre heating exchanger).
  • If the installation (or a part of it) can freeze, an (external) frost thermostat must be fitted to the return line at the coldest location. This must be connected in accordance with the wiring diagram. (See section 11.5.)

Note

When the appliance is out of action (☐ on the service display), the appliance frost protection is still active. However, there will be no response to heat demand from an (external) frost thermostat.

5. INSTALLER IMPORTANT POINTS

Appliance with zone control.

If there is, next to the CH system an other heating source (as for example a stove or a fireplace) in the living room often the problem occurs that the other rooms cool down.

This can be solved by splitting up the CH system into two separate zones.

The zone regulation can only be used when there is no external DHW tank present (in case of a system boiler)

Schedule zone-regulation

A. Appliance
B. Electrical Shut-off valve 230 V \~
C. Radiators
T1. Room thermostat zone 1
T2. Room thermostat zone 2
Z1. Zone 1
Z2. Zone 2

Operating principle

The zone regulation contains 2 room thermostats and a shut off valve. When the room thermostat of zone 2 generates a heat demand, the shut off valve opens and the complete CH system heats up (zone 1 and 2). When the heat demand of zone 2 is not or no longer present, room thermostat 1 controls the room temperature in zone 1.

Installation

  1. Place the shut-off valve into the heating system according to the schedule.
  2. Connect the room thermostat of zone 1 on to connector X4-6/7.
  3. Connect the room thermostat of zone 1 on to connector X4 - 11/12.
  4. Modify parameter A in the parameter list. (See § 9.3)

Note : The room thermostat for zone 1 must be an on/off type. The room thermostat for zone 2 can be either on/off or "Open Therm".

d. Serviceable waste trap

e. 5 - 20 mm/meter

f. > 100 mm

g. > 110 mm

h. > 450 mm

If an externally-run condensate drainage pipe is used the following measures should be adopted to prevent freezing:

- the pipe should be run internally as far as possible before going externally, the pipe diameter should be increased to a minimum of 30mm ID (typically 32mm OD) before it passes though the wall;

- the external run should be kept as short as possible, taking the most vertical route possible to the discharge point, with no horizontal sections in which condensate might collect;

- the external pipe should be insulated using suitable waterproof and weatherproof insulation ("Class O" pipe insulation is suitable for this purpose);

- the use of fittings, elbows etc should be kept to a minimum as any internal "burrs" on cut pipework should be removed so that the internal pipe section is as smooth as possible.

9.8 Gas-Air ratio control.

The gas air ration control of the boiler is set to the correct value in the factory and does not need to be adjusted. The gas type of the boiler on which the boiler has been set is noted on the data plate. The boiler is only to be used in combination with this gas type.

When necessary the boiler can be converted to another gas type using the appropriate conversion set. See the table below for the correct gas ring.

Table 1, inserts and associated gas rings per boiler type.

ModelInsert numberGas category
Natural gas20 mBarLPGG3130 mBar
Gas ring
Rapid 25406600480
Rapid 32362655525

The correct setting of the Gas-Air ratio can be checked by measuring the flue gases using a calibrated O_2 measuring device. The measurement must be performed first at maximum power and thereafter on the minimum power (see § 9.9.1 and § 9.9.2)

For reference reasons the tables below contain O_2 and CO_2 values.

When the CO_2 or O_2 value is incorrect only the setting on minimum power can be adjusted (see § 9.9.3) by changing the setting of the gas valve.

Intergas Rapid 32 Plus - Gas-Air ratio control. - 1

Important

  • During the CO 2 or O 2 check the front casing of the boiler needs to be removed.
  • The deviation of the O2 analyser must be restricted to +/- 0.3%
  • A reliable measurement is only guaranteed when no extreme vacuum in the flue pipe is present (i.e. draft due to hard wind).
  • A deviation at maximum power can not be adjusted with the gas valve setting. When the value measured at maximum power is without the prescribed range the boiler has to be checked on gas tightness and usage of the correct components, in particular the gas ring and the fan.
  • When replacing parts or converting the boiler to another gas type the correct functioning of the gas air ratio always has to be checked.

11.3 Combustion

During routine servicing, and after any maintenance or change of part of the combustion circuit the following must be checked:

  • The integrity of the flue system and the flue seals, as described in § 8.5 and the British Standards codes of practices, specifically BS 5440.
  • The integrity of the boiler combustion circuit and the relevant seals, as described in § 12.3.
    The operational (working) gas inlet pressure at maximum rate, as described in § 10.7.
    • The combustion performance, as described in § 10.7 and § 10.8.

BS 6798: 2009 Specification for installation and maintenance of gas-fired boilers of rated input not exceeding 70 kW net advises that:

  • The person carrying out a combustion measurement should have been assessed as competent in the use of a flue gas analyser and the interpretation of the results;
  • The flue gas analyser used should be one meeting the requirements of BS7927 or BS-EN50379-3 and be calibrated in accordance with the analyser manufacturers' requirements, and
  • Competence can be demonstrated by satisfactory completion of the CPA1 ACS assessment, which covers the use of electronic portable combustion gas analysers in accordance with BS7967, Parts 1 to 4.

Connect the flue gas analyser to the flue gas sampling point (X) and check combustion as described in § 10.7. If the CO_2 percentage reading of the combustion gases at low setting falls into the bandwidth stated in § 10.8, the combustion setting is correct and no further adjustment is needed. If the combustion reading falls outside the prescribed tolerance band and the integrity of the complete flue system and combustion circuit seals have been verified as well as the inlet gas pressure proceed to adjust the gas/air ratio as described in § 10.8. When the CO_2 percentage at high setting is not within the prescribed tolerance band please contact Intergas Heating.
