2 INSTALLATION

2.1 BOILER ROOM

The boilers with a rating of more than 35 kW must be equipped with a technical room whose dimensions and requirements correspond to the current standards and regulations.

The minimum distance between the walls of the room and the boiler must not be less than 0.60 m., while the minimum height between the top of the boiler and the ceiling must be at least 1 m. which can be reduced to 0.50 m. for boilers with incorporated heaters (however the minimum height of the boiler room must not be less than 2.5 m).

The boilers with a rating of less than 35 kW can be installed only in perfectly air-vented rooms.

To circulate air in the room, air vents must be made on the outside walls which satisfy the following requirements:

  • Have a total surface area of at least 6 cm ^2 for each installed Kw of thermal capacity and however not less than 100 cm ^2 .
  • To be situated as close as possible to the floor, unobstructable and protected by a grate which does not reduce the air passage area.

2.2 CONNECTING UP SYSTEM

Before proceeding to connect up the boiler, you are recommended to make the water circulate in the piping in order to eliminate any foreign bodies that might be detrimental to the operating efficiency of the appliance.

For connecting up the pipes, make sure to follow the indications illustrated in fig. 1. The connections should be easy to disconnect using pipe unions with orientable connections.

The shutoff valve must be connected to a suitable flow system and return pipes

2.2.1 System filling (fig. 4)

The boiler and the relative system must be filled operating on the bearing tap and the pressure of cold charging the system must be included between

1 - 1.2 bar. During filling the main switch should be left open.

Filling must be done slowly so as to allow any air bubbles to be bled off through the provided air vents. This operation can be made easy by positioning horizontally the block screw of

SIME Aqua INOX - System filling (fig. 4) - 1

text_image OPEN

Fig. 4

the shutoff valve.

Upon completing the filling, put the screw back to its original position.

At the end of the operation make sure that the tap is closed.

In order that the boiler be capable of supplying treated water in the "AQUA INOX" version, all the air in the boiler's serpentine must be bled off at the first ignition.

This operation is made easy by positioning horizontally the block screw of the shutoff valve (5 fig. 2). After all the air has been bled off, put the screw back to its original position.

2.2.3 Characteristics of feedwater

IT IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL THAT THE WATER USED FOR THE CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM SHOULD BE TREATED IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:

  • Very extensive systems (with high contents of feedwater).
  • Frequent addition of makeup water into the system.
  • In case it is necessary to empty the system either partially or totally.

2.3 CONNECTING UP FLUE

The flue is of fundamental importance for the proper operation of the boiler; if not installed in compliance with the standards, starting the boiler will be difficult and there will be a consequent formation of soot, condensation and encrustation.

A flue therefore must satisfy the following requirements:

  • be constructed with waterproof materials and resistant to smoke temperature and condensate;
  • be of adequate mechanical resilience and of low heat conductivity;
  • be perfectly sealed to prevent cooling of the flue itself:
  • be as vertical as possible; the terminal section of the flue must be fitted with a static exhaust device that ensures constant and efficient extraction of products generated by combustion;
  • to prevent the wind from creating pressure zones around the chimney top greater than the uplift force of combustion gases, the exhaust outlet should be at least 0.4 m higher than structures adjacent to the stack (including the roof top) within 8 m;
  • have a diameter that is not inferior to that of the boiler union: square or rectangular-section flues should have an internal section 10% greater than that of the boiler union;
  • the useful section of the flue must conform to the following formula:

$$ S = K \frac {P}{\sqrt {H}} $$

S resulting section in cm 2

K reduction coefficient for liquid fuels: 0.024

P boiler input in Kcal/h

H height of the flue in meters measured from the flame axis to the flue outlet into the atmosphere When dimensioning the flue, the effective height of the flue in meters must be considered, measured from the flame axis to the top of the flue, reduced by:

  • 0.50 m for each change of direction of the connection union between boiler and flue;
  • 1.00 for each horizontal metre of the union itself.

Our boilers are the B 23 type and do not need any particular connections other than the one to the flue as described above.

2.4 FUEL ADDUCTION

The fuel can be fed into the thermal group sideways, the ducts must be passed through the aperture on the right or left hand side of the shell for connection to the pump (fig. 5 - 5/a).

Important

  • Make sure, before turning on the boiler, that the return tube is free. An excessive counter-pressure would break the pump seal.
  • Make sure that the tubes are sealed.
  • The maximum depression of 0.4 bar (300 mmHg) [see Table 1] must not be exceeded. Gas is freed from the fuel above that value and can cause cavitation of the pump.
  • It's advisable to bring the return tube in the depression systems up to the same height of the intake tube. In this case the foot valve is unnecessary.

If instead the return tube arrives above the fuel level, the foot valve is indispensable.

Starting the pump

Turn on the burner to start the pump and check the flame ignition.

If a "lock out" occurs before fuel arrival, wait for at least 20 seconds then press the burner release button "RESET" and wait for the whole startup operation to repeat until the flame

differently from the factory settings, this should be done by authorised personnel following the instructions provided below. Remove the shell door to access the burner unit's controls.

2.5.1 Air lock adjustment

To adjust the air lock, loosen the screw (1 fig. 6) and slide the graduated scale (2 fig. 6) indicating the position air lock position. The values for adjustment of each unit are given in point 1.3.

2.5.2 Pump pressure adjustment

To adjust gas-oil pressure, turn the screw (3 fig. 6/a) and check pressure with a pressure gauche connected to the intake (2 fig. 6/a), making sure pressure corresponds to the value given under point 1.3.

2.6 HEATER UNIT

In "AQUA 30 INOX" models, the heater unit comes on with the consensus of the burner, after a delay of a maximum of 90 seconds required to bring fuel in the nozzle holder area up to a temperature of 65^ . Once this temperature has been reached, the thermostat, which is located above the preheater (1 fig. 13/b), will give consensus for the burner to start. The heater will remain on for as long as the burner stays on and go off when the burne goes off.

4.7 FAULT FINDING

There follow a list of some reasons and the possible remedies for a series of faults which could happen causing a failure or an irregular function of the appliance. A function fault, in most cases, causes the "lock out" signal on the control panel to turn on. When this light turns on, the burner can only function again after the reset button has been pressed; once this has been done and a regular ignition occurs, the failure can be defined momentary and not dangerous.

On the contrary, if the "lock out" persists, then the cause of the fault as well as the remedy must be looked for in the following faults:

The burner does not ignite

  • Check the electric connections.
  • Check the regular fuel flow, the cleanness of the filters, of the nozzle and air vent from the tube.
  • Check the regular spark ignition and the proper function of the burner.

The burner ignites regularly but the flame goes out immediately

- Check the flame detection, the air calibration and the function of the appliance.

Difficulty in regulating the burner and/or lack of yield

- Check: the regular flow of fuel, the cleanness of the boiler, the non obstruction of the smoke duct, the real input supplied by the burner and its cleanness (dust).

The boiler gets dirty easily

- Check the burner regulator (smoke analysis), the fuel quantity, the flue

obstruction and the cleanness of the air duct of the burner (dust).

The boiler does not heat up

  • Control the cleanness of the shell, the matching, the adjustment, the burner performances, the pre-adjusted temperature, the correct function and position of the regulation stat.
  • Make sure that the boiler is sufficiently powerful for the appliance.

Smell of unburnt products

  • Control the cleanness of the boiler shell and the flue, the airtightness of the boiler and of the flue ducts (door, combustion chamber, smoke ducts, flue, washers).
  • Control the quality of the fuel.

Frequent intervention of the boiler shutoff valve

  • Control the presence of air in the system, the function of the circulation pumps.
  • Check the load pressure of the appliance, the efficiency of the expansion tanks and the valve calibration.

WARNINGS

  • In case of fault and/or incorrect operation, deactivate it without making any repairs or taking any direct action. If fuel or combustion is smelt, air the room and close the fuel interception device. Contact the authorised technical staff.
  • The installation of the boiler and any servicing or maintenance job must be carried out by qualified personnel.
  • It is absolutely prohibited to block the intake grilles and the aeration opening of the room where the equipment is installed. The intake grilles are indispensable for a correct combustion.

Press the main switch for lighting the boiler (fig. 17) and choose the position Summer/Winter on the switch (fig. 18):

  • The boiler operates in treated phase with the switch in the position (SUMMER)
  • The boiler operates both in treated

phase as well as for heating with the switch in the position (WIN-TER). The room stat or the chrono-stat will stop the operation of the boiler.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

  • The heating temperature can be adjusted by turning the knob of the thermostat (fig. 19).
  • The heating temperature can be adjusted by turning the knob of the thermostat which has a range of between 45 and 85^ .

The temperature setting can be checked on the thermometer. To ensure optimal boiler efficiency at all times, we recommend not to

drop below a minimum working temperature of 60°C (fig. 20).

SAFETY STAT

The safety stat is of the manually resetting type and opens, causing the main burner to turn off immediately, whenever the temperature of 110^ C is exceeded in the boiler. To restore boiler operation, unscrew the black cap and reset the button (fig. 21).

Should the appliance "lock out" again, please approach the authorised technical staff.

BURNER RESTART

In case that ignition or operation faults occur, the main burner "locks out" and the red lamp lights up on the control panel. Press the "RESET" button to restart the ignition conditions until the flame lights up (fig. 22). This operation can be repeated 2-3 times at maximum and in case of failure contact the authorised technical staff.

ATTENTION: Make sure that there is fuel in the tank and that the taps are open. After each fill up of the tank it is advisable to interrupt the operation of the burner for about one hour.

TURNING OFF BOILER

It is sufficient to press the main switch

to turn off the boiler (fig. 17).

Close both the gas-feed pipe tap and the water tap if the boiler remains inoperative for a long period.

SYSTEM FILLING

Check periodically that the hydrometer has pressure values at a switched-off system of 1 - 1.2 bar. If the pressure is less than 1 bar, re-charge it rotating the knob anti-clockwise.

After the operation check that the tap is properly closed (fig. 23).

Should the pressure exceed the foreseen limit, discharge the superfluous amount by operating on the vent knob of any radiator.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

At the end of each heating season, it is essential to have the boiler thoroughly checked and cleaned out.

Preventive maintenance and checking of the efficient operation of the equipment and safety devices must be carried out exclusively by the authorised technical staff.
