Operating principle

The R3400/R3500/R3600 is a fully modulating boiler. The control unit of the boiler adapts the modulation ratio automatically to the heat demand requested by the system. This is done by controlling the speed of the fan. As a result, the Whirlwind mixing system will adapt the gas ratio to the chosen fan speed, in order to maintain the best possible combustion figures and therewith the best efficiency. The flue gases created by the combustion are transported downwards through

the boiler and leave at the back side into the chimney connection.

The return water from the system enters the boiler in the lower section, where is the lowest flue gas temperature in the boiler. In this section condensation takes place. The water is being transported upwards through the boiler, in order to leave the boiler at the top (burner) section. The cross flow working principle (water up, flue gas down) ensures the most efficient combustion results.

The KM628 control unit can control the boiler operation based on:

  • fixed temperature (stand alone operation);
  • weather compensated operation (with optional controller);
    with 0-10V external influence (temperature or capacity) from a building management system.

Boiler installation

Elco R3500 - Boiler installation - 1

Elco R3500 - Boiler installation - 2

Boiler installation

The boiler should be positioned in a frost-proof boiler room. If the boiler room is on the roof, the boiler itself may never be the highest point of the installation.

When positioning the boiler, please note the recommended minimum clearance in the picture. When the boiler is positioned with less free space, maintenance activities will be more difficult.

Once the boiler is in the correct position, the wooden blocks (1) should be removed and the adjustable feet (2) (with vibration absorption dampers) should be adjusted to the right height. Water and gas connections should be done after mounting the feet, as they effect the exact height of all connections.

The R3407-R3410 are not supplied on wooden blocks, but on wheels. After positioning the boiler, the adjustable feet have to be set to the correct height. The wheels have to be removed. The connections to the boiler have to be made after the feet have been adjusted, as the adjustment will effect the exact height of all connections.

Connecting the boiler

Elco R3500 - Connecting the boiler - 1

Elco R3500 - Connecting the boiler - 2

Connecting the boiler

This chapter will explain how to make all connections to the boiler with regard to:

  • Hydraulic connections (1, 3)
  • Condensate drain connection (7)
    Gas connection (6)
  • Flue gas connection (5)
    Air intake connection (only when using roomsealed, order separately) (2)
  • Electrical connection (4)

The boiler should always be connected in such a way, that the system applies to all relevant standards and regulations (European, national and local). It's the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all standards and regulations are respected.

Hydraulic connections

The boiler should always be connected in such a way, that water flow through the boiler can be ensured at all times. Connect the flow (3) and return (1) connection of the system tension free to the boiler connections. If the boiler is used in a system with two return circuits (only R3600 series), the common return becomes the low temperature return, the 2nd return connection is the high temperature return (remove cap/ flange before connecting).

Condensate connection (7)

After filling with water, the syphon (included in delivery) should be installed to the connection at the bottom of the condensate receptacle. The connection to the draining system should always be done with an open connection, in order to avoid a flooding of the boiler in case of a blocked drain.

Connecting the boiler

Elco R3500 - Connecting the boiler - 1

Elco R3500 - Connecting the boiler - 2

Gas connection (6)

The gas connection must be made by an authorized installer in accordance with the applicable national and local standards and regulations.

Connect the gas line from the system tension free to the gas connection (6) of the boiler. A gas cock should be mounted directly behind the boiler.

A gas filter can be mounted directly on the gas connection of the boiler.

Flue gas connection (5)

Regulations for the construction of flue gas systems are very different for each country. It should be ensured that all national regulations with regard to flue gas systems are respected.

Connect the flue gas system to the flue gas connection (5) of the boiler, use fluegas systems with seamless connections only. It's not necessary to make a separate condensate drain for the flue gas system, as the condensate will be drained via the syphon of the boiler. Please note the following issues:

  • It's recommended to use stainless steel systems
  • The diameter of the flue gas system must be chosen by calculation according to the national regulations
  • Construct the flue gas system as short as possible (for maximum length see planner documentation)
  • Construct horizontal ways with a minimum angle of 3^

Air intake connection (3)

When using the boiler roomsealed. The air intake can be connected if the boiler was ordered as roomsealed. The diameter should be calculated according to the national regulations, together with the flue gas system. The total resistance of both systems should never overcome the maximum permissible resistance of the fan inside the boiler (see also chapter: Technical data).

Elco R3500 - Air intake connection (3) - 1

Elco R3500 - Air intake connection (3) - 2

Elco R3500 - Air intake connection (3) - 3

Electrical connection (4)

The electrical connection must be made by an authorized installer in accordance with the applicable national and local standards and regulations.

For the power supply it's necessary to use a mains isolator switch with a contact opening of at least 3mm within the boiler room. This switch can be used to switch off the power supply for maintenance purposes.

Cables can be inserted through the cable trays and glands at the back of the electrical panel at the front of the boiler.

Connect all wires to the terminals according to the wiring diagram of the boiler (enclosed in map attached to back panel of the boiler).

Commissioning

Water and hydraulic system

Commissioning of the boiler should be carried out by authorized personnel only. Failure to respect this condition makes the guarantee void. A protocol of the commissioning should be filled out (see end of this chapter for example of commissioning protocol).

This chapter explains the commissioning of the boiler with the standard boiler controller. When an additional system controller is installed, please refer to its manual for commissioning the controller.

Boiler output [kW]Max. sum of alkaline earths \( \left\lbrack {\mathrm{{mol}}/{\mathrm{m}}^{3}}\right\rbrack \)Max. total hardness \( \left\lbrack {{\mathrm{d}}^{0}\mathrm{H}}\right\rbrack \)
600 - 2000 1.5 8.4

Water quality

The system should be filled with water with a PH value between 8,0 and 9,5. The chloride value of the water should not exceed 50~mg / l . Entry of oxygen by diffusion should be prevented at all times. Damage to the heat exchanger because of oxygen diffusion will not be taken under warranty.

In installations with higher water volumes, it's necessary to respect the maximum filling and additional volumes with corresponding hardness values as stated in the german VDI2035 standard. In the table you can find the nominal values for filling and additional water for the R3400/R3500/R3600 according to the VDI2035.

Water pressure

Open the valves to the system. Check the water pressure in the system. If the water pressure is too low (see table below), increase the pressure up to at least the minimum required water pressure in the table.

Filling can be done via the fill and drain valve (2) on the return connection (1) of the boiler.

Flue and air intake connections

Elco R3500 - Flue and air intake connections - 1

Gas supply

Check the gas supply connection to the boiler for tightness. If any leakage is found, reseal the leakage before starting the boiler!

Remove any air between the gas valve and the gas line. This can be done at the test point (1) at the gas pressure switch. Don't forget to close the test point afterwards!

Check the gas type and values with the local gas company, in order to know for which gas type the boiler should be commissioned.

Elco R3500 - Gas supply - 1

Condensate connection

Remove the syphon (2) from the condensate connection. Fill it with water and place it back in the original position. Make sure the syphon is filled before starting the boiler, in order to prevent flue gases discharging through the condensate connection!

Elco R3500 - Condensate connection - 1

Flue and air intake connections

Check whether the flue and air intake systems are made according to the national and local regulations. Installations which don't comply with the regulations, are not allowed to be commissioned.

Make sure that all connections are free.

The size of flue gas and air intake connections may not be reduced.

Elco R3500 - Prepare boiler for first startup - 4

Prepare boiler for first startup

  • Open gas connection;
  • Switch on mains isolator switch for power supply to the boiler;
  • Switch on boiler with on/off switch (1)

Make sure the boiler remains in standby operation (2) use rotational switch (3);
- Check the pump operation: make sure that the direction of the rotation is correct;
- Remove any air from the pump by removing the end cap of the pump motor housing.

It's recommended to keep the boiler at 50% load for a while after the first startup, as this is the easiest base for starting the combustion analysis. This can be assured as follows:

  • Open the lid of the boiler controller;
  • Use rotational switch (3) for going to parameter P9 in the menu;
  • Change P9 (5) into 50% (push programming button (4), change value with rotational switch (3), push programming button (4) to confirm);
  • Close the lid of the boiler controller.

Combustion analysis

Elco R3500 - Combustion analysis - 1

Combustion check at full load

Start the boiler at service mode for full load operation (A II). When you have reduced P9 to 50% (see previous chapter), the boiler will operate at 50% load. Allow the boiler to stabilise the combustion for 3 minutes. Then increase P9 step by step up to 100% . Check the gas pressure on the inlet of the gas valve while increasing the boiler load: the gas pressure should never go below the minimum required value see technical data. Set the minimum gas pressure switch (1) at 50% of the required gas pressure.

Elco R3500 - Combustion check at full load - 1

First check the combustion values of the pilot burner using the measuring tube on the back of the boiler (3). If required the values can be corrected with the adjustment screw on the pilot gas valve (2).

Then check the combustion values of the main burner using a measuring point in the flue (4). If required the values can be corrected with the adjustment screw (V) on the main gas valve (5).

The combustion settings for the pilot burner can be adjusted using the adjustment screw on the pilot gas valve (6). The combustion settings for the main burner can be adjusted using the adjustment screw (N) on the main gas valve (7).

Combustion check at 50% load

An additional reference check of combustion values at 50% load is recommended in order to check if the gas valve is set in such way, that the modulating behaviour is normal. The CO_2 value should be in between the settings of full load and minimum load. CO value should be equal to full load and minimum load values.

Make sure parameter P9 is set back to 100 and switch the boiler to automatic operation (O) after the combustion test is finished.

Check water flow

The water flow through the boiler can be checked with two different methods shown below.

T measurement

Check the temperature difference over the boiler ( T flow-return) when the boiler is running on 100% load. The nominal T is 20K and must be at least between 15K and 25K for secure boiler operation. An indication of the actual flow rate can be found with the following calculation (see table below for nominal data):

$$ \mathrm {q} _ {\text {a c t u a l}} = \left(\Delta \mathrm {T} _ {\text {n o m i n a l}} / \Delta \mathrm {T} _ {\text {m e a s u r e d}}\right) ^ {*} \mathrm {q} _ {\text {n o m i n a l}} [ \mathrm {m} ^ {3} / \mathrm {h} ] $$

p measurement

Check the pressure difference over the boiler ( p flow-return) when the boiler pump is running (burner on is not required). The nominal p for each boiler type can be found in the table below, actual p must be within: 0.35^ p_nom≤ P≤ 1.75^ p_nom .An indication of the actual flow rate can be found with the following calculation (see table below for nominal data):

$$ \mathrm {q} _ {\text {a c t u a l}} = \sqrt {\left(\Delta \mathrm {p} _ {\text {m e a s u r e d}} / \Delta \mathrm {p} _ {\text {n o m i a l}}\right) ^ {*} \mathrm {q} _ {\text {n o m i a l}} \left[ \mathrm {m} ^ {3} / \mathrm {h} \right]} $$

Check functionality of safety devices Gas tightness check Boiler shut down

Elco R3500 - Check functionality of safety devices Gas tightness check Boiler shut down - 1

Check functionality of safety devices All safety devices have to be checked on good functioning. Safety devices on a standard boiler are a water flow temperature sensor, water flow switch, minimum gas pressure switch and ionisation electrode. These devices can be checked as described below.

Water flow temperature sensor (1) Disconnect the plug from the sensor while the boiler is switched on. This should result in a lockout no. 12. The lockout should disappear as soon as the plug is placed back in position, the boiler will restart.

Water flow switch (2)

Close (slowly!) the valve in the flow connection to the system while the boiler is running on minimum load. When the valve is almost closed and the water flow is insufficient, the water flow switch will switch off and the boiler will go in lockout 40. Open the valve. A manual reset is necessary.

Minimum gas pressure switch (4)

Close the gas cock when the boiler is in standby position (6). Open the test point on the gas valve (3) while measuring the gas pressure on the test point of the gas pressure switch (5). The boiler will go in lockout no. 2 when the switch off setting is achieved. Close both test points and open the gas cock.

Ionisation electrode (6)

Remove electrical connection from the ionisation electrode while the boiler is running, the boiler will go in lockout no.5. The boiler will try to restart. With the electrical connection removed, the restart will result in lockout no.4. When the connection is already mounted, the restart will be successful.

Measuring the ionisation current can be done by mounting a multi-meter (set to A ) in between the ionisation electrode and its electrical connection. The ionisation current should always be above 1.2 A , in normal conditions it will be 6 A and above.

Gas tightness check

Check the gas tightness of all sealed connections with an approved soap or electronic gas analyzer, for example:

Test points
- Bolt connections
- Gaskets of mixing system, etc.

Boiler shut down

When the boiler will not be used for longer periods, shut down the boiler by following procedure:

  • Switch the boiler in standby operation (6)
  • Switch off the boiler with the on/off switch (7)
  • Disable power supply to the boiler by deactivating the mains isolator switch in the boiler room
  • Close the gas supply to the boiler.

Operating instructions

The boiler controller has two menus: the main menu (operating mode) when the lid is closed, and the parameter menu (information/programming mode) when the lid is open. Both menus and possibilities are explained in the next paragraphs.

Elco R3500 - Main menu (operating mode) Parameter menu (information/programming mode) Changing parameter values - 1

With the lid closed and by using the rotational switch (1) clockwise or anticlockwise, the boilers' operating mode (2) can be set. The available modes are:

念 Standby mode (only frost protection)
Automatic operation mode (heating and DHW)
Summer mode (only DHW, no heating)
I Service mode minimum load
Service mode full load (limited by P9)

Besides the operating mode, the display also shows the actual water flow temperature (3) and, in case of a lockout, a warning triangle (4) combined with a lockout code (5). The explanation of the lockout codes can be found in chapter "Lockouts".

Elco R3500 - Main menu (operating mode)  lid closed - 1

Parameter menu (information/programming mode) lid open

With the lid open and by using the rotational switch (1) clockwise or anticlockwise it's possible to read/change certain values/parameters from the boiler controller. An arrow at the bottom of the display (2) indicates which parameter has been selected. The available values/parameters are:

P1 Actual / setpoint water flow temperature [^ C]
P2 Actual/setpoint DHW temperature [^ C]
P3 Actual temperature/capacity setpoint for boiler [^o C]^*
P4
P5 Actual outside temperature [^ C] (if sensor is connected)
P6 Actual fluegas temperature [^ C]
P7
P8 Actual low velocity header temperature [^ C] (if sensor is connected)
P9 Actual / Limit boiler output [%]
P10 Password for advanced settings

  • P3 shows the actual temperature setpoint of the boiler, either coming from P1/P2 or from an additional (weather compensated) controller or building management system (2-10V). When the boiler capacity is controlled via a cascade manager or building management system (2-10V), P3 shows the actual capacity setpoint of the boiler.

Behind the lid you find an optical I/O connection (6), a reset/programming button (7) and an alarm/programming LED (8). Besides the parameter values/ settings, the display also shows additional information with regard to input and output indications to and from the boiler:

Output indications

Power to main gas valve
Power to ignition transformer
Fan control signal
Power to primary boiler pump
Power to DHW pump/diverter valve

Input indications

Flame ionisation detected
SW Water flow switch active
DW Air pressure switch active
RT Boiler enabled**
Bus Bus communication active

**The boiler enable signal is equipped with a jumper in the standard delivery and therefore the boiler will normally be enabled. If a building management system is connected to provide the enable signal to the boiler (jumper should be removed), check the building management system if the boiler remains disabled.

Changing parameter values

For changing any parameters, in the example parameter P2 (DHW setpoint), the following procedure should be carried through:

  • Open the lid (the arrow at the bottom of the display indicates parameter P1)
  • Turn the rotational switch clockwise until the arrow indicates parameter P2

  • Press the reset/programming button to select (the LED lights up)

  • Turn the rotational switch until the desired DHW setpoint value has been reached
  • Press the reset/programming button to confirm (the LED goes out)
  • Close the lid.

The new value is now activated. All parameters can be changed by following the same procedure as described above.
