5 DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

5.1 Characteristics

Brava Slim BF are last generation low temperature wall mounted boilers which Sime has produced for heating and domestic hot water production. The main design choices made by Sime for the Brava Slim BF boilers are:

  • the atmospheric burner combined with a copper heat exchanger for heating and a rapid heat exchanger for DHW
  • the sealed combustion chamber which can be classified "Type C" or "Type B" in relation to the room where the boiler is installed, depending on the smoke outlet configuration adopted during installation
  • the command and control microprocessor electronic board provides efficient management of both heating and hot water production. It can also be connected to a remote control with an Open Therm protocol or to room thermostat and/or external sensor. If connected to an external sensor, the boiler temperature varies on the basis of the external temperature according to a selected optimal climatic curve providing significant energy and economic savings.

Other special features of the Brava Slim BF boilers are:

  • the anti-freeze function which activates automatically if the temperature of the water inside the boiler falls below the threshold of the value set at parameter "PAR 10" and, if there is an external sensor, if the external temperature falls below the threshold of the value set at parameter "PAR 11"
  • the anti-blocking function of the pump and diverter valve, this activates automatically every 24 hours if no request for heat has been made
  • the chimney sweep function lasts 15 minutes and makes the job of the qualified technician easier when measuring the parameters and combustion efficiency and when checking gas pressure at the nozzles
  • domestic hot water comfort function which allows the time necessary for the hot water to become available to be reduced and ensures that the temperature is stable
  • screen display of the operating and self-diagnostic parameters with error code display when the fault occurs. This makes repair interventions easier and allows appliance operation to be restored correctly.

5.2 Check and safety devices

The Brava Slim BF boilers are equipped with the following check and safety devices:

  • thermal safety sensor 100°C
  • 3 bar relief valve
  • heating water pressure transducer
  • delivery sensor
  • DHW sensor.

SIME Brava Slim BF - New installation or installation of a replacement appliance - 1

CAUTION

The manufacturer declines all liability for any damage caused by an incorrect implementation of the smoke outlet or for an excessive use of additives.

6.6 Cleaning the system

Before installing the appliance on a newly constructed system or replacing a heat generator on an existing system, it is important that the system is thoroughly cleaned to remove sludge, slag, dirt, residue etc.

Before removing an old heat generator from an existing system, it is recommended that the user:

  • puts a descaling additive into the water system
  • allows the system to work with the generator active for a few days
  • drains the dirty water from the system and flushes the system with clean water once or more than once.

If the old generator has already been removed or is not available, replace it with a pump to circulate water in the system and then proceed as described above.

Once cleaning operations have been carried out and before installing the new appliance, it is recommended that a fluid is added to the water system to protect it from corrosion and deposits.

SIME Brava Slim BF - Cleaning the system - 1

CAUTION

  • For further information on the type of additive and usage, please contact the appliance manufacturer.
  • Please remember that you MUST install a Y filter (not supplied with the appliance) on the heating system return (R).

6.7 Water system treatment

When filling and restoring the system it is good practice to use water with:

- aspect: clear if possible

- pH: 6÷8

- hardness: < 25°f.

If the water characteristics are different from those indicated, it is recommended that a safety filter is used on the water delivery pipe to retain impurities, and a chemical treatment system to protect against possible deposits and corrosion which could affect boiler operation.

If the systems are only low temperature systems, it is recommended that a product is used to prevent the development of bacteria.

In any case, please refer to and comply with the legislation and specific technical standards in force in the country where the appliance will be used.

6.10 Gas supply

Brava Slim BF boilers leave the factory specifically prearranged for G20 gas or G30/G31. The G20 models can be converted to function with G30/G31 using the "specific nozzle kit" (optional) provided by Sime on request separately from the boiler.

If changing the type of gas to be used, carry out the entire "GAS CONVERSION" phase of the appliance.

The boiler must be connected to the gas mains in full compliance with the installation standards in force in the country where the appliance will be used.

Before connecting the boiler to the gas mains, the user must ensure that:

  • the type of gas is correct for the appliance
  • the pipes are clean
  • the gas supply pipe is the same dimension as or greater than that of the boiler fitting (G3/4") and with a load loss less than or equal to that contemplated between the gas mains and the boiler.
