1. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 Introduction

Dear Customer,

Thank you for choosing DOMlcompact F 24 D, a FERROLI wall-mounting boiler featuring advanced design and technology, high reliability and quality construction. Please read this manual carefully and keep it for future reference.

DOMlcompact F 24 D is a high-efficiency appliance for heating and hot water production running on natural or liquefied petroleum gas (configurable at the time of installation) and regulated by an advanced microprocessor control system.

The boiler shell consists of a primary copper laminar heat exchanger and burner equipped with electronic ignition and ionization flame control.

The boiler is totally room sealed from the installation room: the air required for combustion is drawn from outside. The boiler also includes a fan, modulating gas valve, pump, expansion vessel, flow switch, safety valve, temperature sensors, a safety thermostat and a low pressure switch.

Thanks to the microprocessor control and adjustment system with advanced self-diagnosis, unit operation is for the most part automatic. The power for heating is automatically governed by the control system combined with the room thermostat (not supplied) The power for hot water is automatically and continually governed to ensure a fast delivery and comfort under all operating conditions.

The user only has to set the temperature desired inside the home (by means of an optional room thermostat or remote control, which is required under the building regulations 2002) or regulate the temperature of the system, and set the desired outlet temperature for the hot water. The adjustment and control system will provide optimum operation throughout the year.

The display continuously provides information on the unit's operating status and it is possible to obtain additional information on the sensor temperatures, set-points, etc, or configure them. Any operating problems associated with the boiler are immediately signalled by the display and, if possible, corrected automatically.

Make Up Water

Provision must be made for replacing water lost from the sealed system. Reference should be made to BS6798, for methods of filling and making up sealed systems. There must be no direct connection between the boiler's central heating system and the mains water supply. The use of mains water to charge and pressurise the system directly, is conditional upon the Local Water Byelaws. Again any such connection must be disconnected after use. The temporary filling loop (Not supplied) is shown in fig. 5. Ensure the filling point is on the return pipe to the boiler.

Attention - is drawn to the Local Water Byelaws.

Fittings manufactured from duplex (alpha-beta) brass are not acceptable for underground use and certain water undertakings will not accept their use above ground.

Ensure all pipework is adequately supported

2.3 Boiler water connections

The heating capacity of the unit should be previously established by calculating the building's heat requirement according to current regulations. For efficient operation and long life of the boiler, the plumbing system must be well designed and always complete with all those accessories that guarantee regular operation and running, ie room thermostat, trv's and automatic bypass etc.

If the flow and return pipes follow a path where air pockets could form in certain places, it is essential to install air vent valves at these points. Also, install a type "A" drain cocks at the lowest points in the system to allow its complete draining. when required The temperature differential between the flow manifold and the return to the boiler should not exceed 20° C.

A minimum flow of 6 litres/min is required through the heat exchanger, it is therefore essential to fit an automatic by-pass a min of 3 metres away from the appliance. This should be calibrated on site.

FERROLI DOMIcompact F 24 D - Boiler water connections - 1

Do not use the water system pipes to earth electrical appliances.

Before installation, carefully flush all the pipes of the heating system to remove residues or impurities that could affect the unit's efficient operation (BS 7593 Building regs Doc L).

Make the connections to the appliance as shown in fig. 6.

It is essential to install the isolation valves supplied between the boiler and heating system, allowing the boiler to be isolated from the system if necessary.

FERROLI DOMIcompact F 24 D - Key - 2

The safety valve outlet must be connected to a 15 mm pipe to allow safe discharge to the outside ground in the event of over-pressure in the heating circuit. If this is not done, and the drain valve opens and floods the room, the boiler manufacturer is not to be held responsible. The pipework must have a continuous fall from the boiler, The outlet should face back against the outer brickwork or building face to prevent harm or injury from hot water discharging in the evet of an over-pressuried system.

Make the boiler connection in such a way that its internal pipework is free of stress.

If a check valve is installed on the tap water circuit (where applicable), it is necessary to mount a safety valve between the boiler and this circuit (check valve minimum 3 meters from boiler).

The connecting kits shown in fig. 7 are supplied as standard.

The total length in linear metres of the coaxial duct must not exceed the maximum lengths stated in the following table, considering that each bend gives rise to the stated reduction. For example, a duct D=60/100 composed of 1 bend of 90°+1 horizontal metre + 2 bends of 45°+1 horizontal metre has a total equivalent length of 4 metres.

For the installation:

  1. Define the position for installing the unit
  2. Drill the wall for the air/fume pipe outlet according to the references stated in the figures, considering that the horizontal sections of piping must have a gradient of approximately 3 mm per metre of length downwards to prevent any rainwater getting into the boiler.
  3. Make a hole of diameter 10 - 20 mm greater than the nominal diameter of the coaxial pipe used to facilitate insertion.
  4. If necessary, cut the end pipe to size, considering that the external pipe must protrude from the wall by between 10 and 60 mm (Fig. 9a and 9b). Eliminate the cutting burrs.
  5. Connect the ducts to the boiler, positioning the gaskets correctly and seal the wall coupling points with special sleeves.

Connection with two pipe system

The unit can be connected to a system of separate air/fume ducts for a wall or rooftop outlet as shown on the drawings 10 - 11 alongside. Numerous accessories are available on request to meet the various installation requirements. The components used most frequently are stated in the tables.

Please refer to the fume accessory catalogue or the price list for additional components.

To check you do not exceed the maximum permissible duct length, it is necessary to make a simple calculation before installation:

  1. For each component, the tables provide an "equivalent load loss in linear metres", depending on the position of installation of the component (with air suction or fume extraction, vertical or horizontal).

The loss is called "equivalent in linear metres" since it is compared to the loss of one metre of duct in air suction (defined as equal to 1). For example, a bend at 90° of 80 in fume extraction has an equivalent loss of 2.5 linear metres, i.e. it has a loss equal to that of 2.5 linear metres of duct in air suction.

  1. After completely defining the layout of the system of split flues, add up the losses in equivalent metres, depending on the installation position, of all the components and accessories in the system.

  2. Check that the total calculated loss is less than or equal to 48 equivalent metres, i.e. the maximum permissible for this model of boiler.

FERROLI DOMIcompact F 24 D - Connection with two pipe system - 1

If the chosen flue system exceeds the maximum permissible limit, it is recommended to use ducts with a larger diameter for some sections.

Connection to collective flues or single flues with natural draught

The UNI 10641 standard prescribes the design criteria and checking the internal dimensions of the collective flues and single flues with natural draught for units with a sealed chamber equipped with a fan in the combustion circuit.

If you are then going to connect the Domicompact F 24 Boiler to a collective flue or a single flue with natural draught, the flue must be expressly designed by professionally qualified technical personnel in conformity with the UNI 10641 standard.

In particular, flues must have the following characteristics:

  • Be sized according to the method of calculation stated in the standard
  • Be airtight to the products of combustion, resistant to the fumes and heat and waterproof for the condensate
  • Have a circular or quadrangular cross-section (some hydraulically equivalent sections are permissible), with a vertical progression and with no constrictions
  • Have the ducts conveying the hot fumes adequately distanced or isolated from combustible materials
  • Be connected to just one unit per floor, for at most 6 units in all (8 if there is a compensation duct or opening)
  • Have no mechanical suction devices in the main ducts
  • Be at a lower pressure, all along their length, under conditions of stationary operation
  • Have at their base a collection chamber for solid materials or condensation of at least 0.5 m, equipped with a metal door with an airtight closure.

FERROLI DOMIcompact F 24 D - Initial start-up - 1

Commissioning must be performed by Qualified Personnel only!.

Checks to be made at initial start up, and after all maintenance operations that involved disconnecting from the system or an intervention of a safety device.

Before lighting the boiler:

  • Open any isolation valves between the boiler and the systems.
  • Check the soundness of the gas system, proceeding with caution and using a suitable leak detection fluid to detect any leaks in connections. After completing a tightness test
  • Fill the water system and make sure that all air contained in the boiler and the system has been vented by opening the air vent valve on the boiler and any vent valves on the system.
  • Make sure there are no water leaks in the system, hot water circuits, connections or boiler.
  • Make sure the electrical supply is correctly connected.
  • Make sure that the unit is connected to a good earthing system.
  • Make sure that there is sufficient gas available to produce safe combustion. (min inlet working pressure = 20mbar).
  • Make sure there are no flammable liquids or materials in the immediate vicinity of the boiler.

Lighting the boiler

  • Open the gas isolation valve on the boiler.
  • Purge the air from the gas pipe work to the boiler.
  • Switch on the electrical supply to the boiler.
  • Turn control knob "1" (Fig. 1) onto Winter in correspondence with a value greater than 50°C and ensure the room thermostat is calling, At this point, the burner will light and the boiler begins to function automatically, controlled by its software and safety devices.

If, after following the lighting procedure, the burners do not light and fault F1 is generated, press the RESET button for 1 second and release it. The software will repeat the ignition cycle in the next 30 seconds. If the burners do not light after the second attempt, consult the "Troubleshooting" paragraph.

FERROLI DOMIcompact F 24 D - Lighting the boiler - 2

In case of an electrical power failure while the boiler is working, the burners will go out and reignite automatically when power is restored.

Checks during operation

  • Check the soundness of the gas circuit and water systems.
  • Check the efficiency of the flue and air-flue ducts while the boiler is working.
  • Check that the water is circulating properly between the boiler and the systems.
  • Make sure that the gas valve modulates correctly in both the heating and hot water production modes.
  • Check for correct ignition of the boiler by performing various tests, turning it on and off with the room thermostat or remote control.
  • Make sure that the gas consumption indicated on the meter corresponds to that given in the technical data table in chap. 4.(Input rating)
  • Check there is the correct flow rate of hot water with the Δt stated in the technical data chart: The measurement should be made with specific instruments and as close as possible to the boiler, also considering the heat lost from the pipe work.
  • Make sure that with no call for heating the burner ignites correctly upon opening a hot water tap. Check that during heating operation, on opening a hot water tap, the heating pump stops and there is a constant production of hot water.

Turning off

Turn the knobs (ref. 1 and 2 Fig. 1) onto minimum.
