In this appliance, the cold water enters the bottom of the tank through the cold
water inlet (14). The heat of combustion is conducted to the water by the
combustion chamber (50) and heat exchanger (11). The heated tap water
leaves the tank through the hot water outlet (2). Once the appliance is
completely filled with water, it will constantly be under mains water pressure.
When hot water is drawn from the appliance, it is immediately replenished with
cold water.
The air required for combustion is forced into the combustion chamber by the
fan.
The gas required for combustion flows via the gas control (16) in the manifold.
The gas control for the BFM 120 is non-standard (see box). Orifices are
mounted in the manifold. The gas is injected into the burner bars at pressure
from these orifices (36). The burner bars together form the burner tray. The
injection of gas into the burner bars also draws in the primary air from the
combustion chamber, which is required for combustion. The narrow opening in
the orifice causes the gas flow to accelerate. This in turn causes a partial
vacuum. It is this partial vacuum that draws in the air (the Venturi effect).
Ignition of the gas/air mixture takes place in two stages. First, the pilot flame is
ignited by a spark igniter. This pilot flame then ensures that the complete ignition
takes place.
The flue gases released by this combustion are led through the heat exchanger.
The heat exchanger is composed of flue tubes that contain flue baffles. These
retard the flow of the flue gases, thereby increasing the thermal efficiency of the
appliance.
The flue gases are exhausted from the appliance via the top box (46). The top
box of the BFM 100 and 120 is non-standard (see box).
An air distribution plate (50) mounted below the burner tray radiation shield also
serves as a radiation shield. Any condensation that forms is drained towards the
siphon via the air distribution plate.
The PU insulation layer (24) prevents heat loss. The inside of the tank is
enamelled to protect against corrosion. The anodes (9) offer extra protection.
2.3 The appliance's
heating cycle
The entire appliance is controlled by the burner control (40) and the control
thermostat (41) or frost thermostat (44). The control thermostat and frost
thermostat both independently measure the water temperature (T
water
). The
appliance's heating cycle is activated as soon as T
water
falls below the threshold
value (T
set
). The value of T
set
depends on the selected mode of the
appliance (8.2 "Operating modes"). When the appliance is in OFF mode (frost
protection), this value is determined by the frost thermostat (threshold value =
20°C). When the appliance is in ’ON mode’, the threshold value can be set via
the control thermostat (±40°C - ±70°C).
The instant T
water
falls below T
set
, the appropriate thermostat (control or frost)
will close, and the burner control will identify a heat demand. The gas control will
open, and the gas will mix with air. This mixture is ignited by the spark igniter,
and the water becomes heated. As soon as T
water
rises above T
set
, the
thermostats will open once more. The heat demand is suspended, and the
burner control stops the heating cycle.
The thermostats have a certain margin both when opening and when closing.
We refer to this margin as hysteresis. The hysteresis cannot be adjusted.
2.4 Protection for the
appliance
2.4.1 Introduction
The burner control monitors the water temperature by means of thermostats,
and ensures that the combustion is safe. This takes place using:
Working principle of the appliance
14 Instruction manual BFM

gis
the Water temperature protection;
the Flame probe;
the Pressure switch.
2.4.2 Water temperature protection
By means of the frost, high-limit and safety thermostats, the burner control
monitors three temperatures that are important for safety. The table explains the
working principle of the thermostats with sensors.
Temperature protection
2.4.3 Pressure switch
The pressure switch ensures the discharge of flue gases and the supply of
incoming air during the pre-purge and normal running of the appliance. The
default state of the pressure switch is open. When sufficient pressure difference
is reached, the pressure switch closes. However, in the event of a fault, the
pressure switch is tripped open, and the heating cycle is interrupted. The table
shows the trip point per appliance.
Note
The trip point of the pressure switch is not adjustable.
Pressure switch trip points
2.4.4 Flame probe
To ensure that no gas can flow when there is no combustion, the water heater
is fitted with a flame probe (21). The burner control uses the ionisation-detecting
properties of this probe for flame detection. The burner control closes the gas
valve the instant it determines that there is a gas flow but no flame is present.
Protection Description
Frost thermostat When the frost thermostat sensor (46) measures a temperature of 20°C or
less, the heating cycle (2.3 "The appliance's heating cycle") will start.
High-limit thermostat When the high-limit thermostat sensor (39) measures a temperature higher
than 84°C, the high-limit thermostat will open. The heat demand is terminated
and the burner control halts the heating cycle until the high-limit thermostats
close once more. At that moment the burner control will reset the appliance and
the heating cycle will restart. The high-limit safeguard serves to prevent
overheating and/or excessive formation of scale in the appliance.
Safety thermostat When the safety thermostat sensor (38) measures a temperature higher than
93°C, the safety thermostat will open. The heat demand is terminated and the
burner control will immediately halt the heating cycle. The burner control will go
into a lockout error state. This must be manually reset before the appliance can
resume operation.

2.5 Safety of the instal-
lation
In addition to the appliance's standard built-in safety monitoring, the appliance
must also be protected by an expansion vessel, expansion valve, pressure
reducing valve, non-return valve and a T&P valve.
The use of an expansion vessel, expansion valve and/or pressure reducing
valve depends on the type of installation: unvented or vented.
2.5.1 Unvented installation
With an unvented installation, an expansion valve valve and expansion vessel
prevent the buildup of excessive pressure in the tank. This prevents damage
being caused to the enamelled coating (in the appliance) or to the tank. A non-
return valve prevents excessive pressure buildup in the water supply system.
This valve also prevents water from flowing backwards from the tank into the
cold water supply system. The pressure reducing valve protects the installation
against an excessively high water supply pressure (> 8 bar). These components
are fitted to the cold water pipe (3.6 "Water connections, Vented").
2.5.2 Vented installation
With a vented installation, excess pressure is taken up by the open cold water
head tank. The height of the head tank determines the working pressure in the
water heater, which may not exceed 8 bar. The installation must also be fitted
with a vent pipe from the hot water pipe, that opens into the cold water tank.
Ideally, the vent pipe should discharge into a separate tundish/drain or
otherwise to the open cold water head tank. The water heater should also be
fitted on the hot water side with a stop valve (3.7.3 "Hot water side").
2.5.3 T&P valve
A T&P valve is only mandatory in an unvented installation. However, A.O. Smith
also recommends the use of a T&P valve in vented installations.
A T&P (Temperature and Pressure Relief) valve monitors the pressure in the
tank and the water temperature at the top of the tank. If the pressure in the tank
becomes excessive (> 10 bar) or the water temperature is too high (> 97°C), the
valve will open. The hot water can now flow out of the tank. Because the
appliance is under water supply pressure, cold water will automatically flow into
the tank. The valve remains open until the unsafe situation has been rectified.
The appliance is fitted standard with a connecting point for a T&P
valve (3.7.3 "Hot water side").

AA: around the appliance's control column and cleaning openings: 100cm.
BB: all sides of the appliance: 50cm.
Above the appliance (room to replace the anodes):
- 100cm if using fixed anodes, or
- 50cm if using flexible anodes.
If the available clearance is less than 100cm, flexible magnesium anodes
may be ordered.
Note
When installing the appliance, be aware that any leakage from the tank
and/or connections can cause damage to the immediate environment or floors
below the level of the boiler room. If this is the case, the appliance should be
installed above a wastewater drain or in a suitable metal leak tray.
The leak tray must have an appropriate wastewater drain and must be at least
5cm deep with a length and width at least 5cm greater than the diameter of the
appliance.
