1.2What to do if you smell gas

1.3Regulations

ADM appliance is a gas-fired open boiler without fan. ADM appliances are equipped with a flue gas backflow safeguard.

The ADM is an appliance of type B11BS.

The information in this manual applies to types: ADM 40, ADM 50, ADM 60, ADM 80, ADM 90, ADM 115 and ADM 135.

The appliance has been manufactured and equipped in accordance with the European standard for gas-fired storage water heaters for the production of domestic hot water (EN 89). The appliances are therefore compliant with the European Directive for Gas Appliances, and and are entitled to bear the CE mark.

Warning

Read this manual carefully before starting up the water heater. Failure to read the manual and to follow the printed instructions may lead to personal injury and damage to the appliance.

Warning

If there is a gas smell:

No naked flames! No smoking!

Avoid causing sparks! Do not use any electrical equipment or switch, i.e. no telephones, plugs or bells!

Open windows and doors!

Shut off the mains gas supply valve!

Warn occupants and leave the building!

After leaving the building, alert the gas distribution company or your installation engineer.

As the (end) user, installation engineer or service and maintenance engineer, you must ensure that the entire installation complies, as a minimum, with the official local:

building regulations;

energy supplier's directives for existing gas installations;

directives and technical guidelines for natural gas installations;

safety requirements for low-voltage installations;

regulations governing the supply of drinking water;

regulations governing ventilation in buildings;

regulations governing the supply of air for combustion;

regulations governing the discharge of products of combustion;

requirements for installations that consume gas;

regulations governing indoor waste water disposal;

regulations imposed by fire brigade, power companies and municipality.

A service should be carried out at least once a year, both on the water side and on the gas side. Maintenance frequency depends, among other things, on the water quality, the average burning time per day and the set water temperature.

Note

To determine the correct maintenance frequency, it is recommended to arrange for the service and maintenance engineer to check the appliance on both the water and gas side within three months following installation. Based on this check, the best maintenance frequency can be determined.

Note

Regular maintenance extends the service life of the appliance.

Note

Both the end user and the service and maintenance engineer are responsible for regular maintenance. They will need to establish clear agreements on this.

Note

If the appliance is not regularly maintained, the warranty will become void.

The following notation is used in this manual:

2.3The appliance's heating cycle

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 (8) 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 gas required for combustion flows via the gas control (16) into the manifold. 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 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). Additional air is drawn in through the opening in the burner tray.

The hot surface igniter (20) ensures ignition of the gas/air mixture.

The flue gases released by this combustion are led through the flue tubes (part of 11). Flue baffles (part of 11) are mounted in the flue tubes. These retard the flow of the flue gases, thereby increasing the thermal efficiency of the appliance.

The flue gases are vented from the appliance via the draught diverter (33).

A radiation shield/condensation tray (35) is mounted below the burner tray. This prevents overheating of the floor area below the appliance, as well as serving as a collection tray for condensation water.

The insulation layer (24) prevents heat loss. The inside of the tank is enamelled to protect against corrosion. The anodes (9) offer extra protection.

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 (Twater). The

appliance's heating cycle is activated as soon as Twater falls below the threshold value (Tset). The value of Tset 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).

As soon as Twater falls below Tset, the relevant thermostat (control or frost) will close, and the burner control will register demand. The gas control (16) is

opened, and the gas is mixed with air. This mixture is ignited by the hot surface

igniter (20) and the water is heated. As soon as Twater gets higher than Tset, the thermostat opens again. The demand will cease, and the burner control will stop

the heating cycle.

The thermostats have a certain margin both when closing and opening. We refer to this margin as the hysteresis. The hysteresis cannot be adjusted.

2.4Protection for the appliance

2.4.1Introduction

The burner control monitors the water temperature by means of thermostats and ensures safe combustion. This takes place using:

the Water temperature protection;

the Flue gas backflow safeguard;

the Flame probe.

12

Instruction manual ADM

gis

2.4.2Water 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

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.

2.5Safety of the installation

2.4.3Flue gas backflow safeguard

The flue gases are discharged to the outside via the draught diverter (33) and the flue (22). To prevent the flue gases from flowing back into the boiler room, the discharge ducting is monitored by a feature called the Thermal Reflux Safeguard (TRS). This uses a flue gas thermostat (37) with a flue gas thermostat sensor (34) that are located in the draught diverter. Under normal circumstances this sensor will register the ambient temperature.

However, if the chimney is not drawing sufficiently (for example, due to a blockage in the chimney), the flue gases will 'reflux' and flow back past the flue gas thermostat sensor. The sensor will then detect an excessive temperature and the flue gas thermostat will open. The demand will cease, and the burner control will immediately stop the heating cycle. The flue gas thermostat will also lock out. It must be manually reset before the appliance can resume operation .

2.4.4Flame 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.

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.

2.5.1Inlet combination and pressure-reducing valve

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.

2.5.2Unvented 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 nonreturn 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").

2.5.3Vented installation

With vented installation, excess pressure is taken up by the open cold water head tank. The head height of the 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 (3.6.3 "Hot water side"), which opens into the cold water tank.

2.5.4T&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").

Warning

The installation should be carried out by an authorised installation engineer, in compliance with general and local regulations (1.3 "Regulations").

3.6.1Cold water side

See (A) in the installation diagram (3.5 "Installation diagram").

1.Fit an approved stop valve (4) on the cold water side between the cold water head tank (18) and the appliance, as required by

regulations (1.3 "Regulations").

3.6.2Recirculation pipe

You can install a top to bottom circulation pump to prevent water stacking in the boiler.

1.Optional: depending on the draw-off pattern, fit a recirculation pipe (Ø 22 mm), a stop valve (11) and a top to bottom circulation pump (7).

2.Fit a non-return valve (5).

3.Fit a stop valve (11).

3.6.3Hot water side

See (B) in the installation diagram (3.5 "Installation diagram").

Note

Insulating long hot water pipes prevents unnecessary energy loss.

1.Fit the T&P valve (3).

2.Optional: fit a temperature gauge (12) so you can check the temperature of the tap water.

3.Fit a stop valve (4) in the hot water outlet pipe, for use when servicing.

4.If a circulation pipe is required, continue further by installing the circulation pipe (3.6.5 "Circulation pipe").

3.6.4Drain valve

1.Fit the standard drain valve (9) supplied with the appliance.

2.If applicable, fit a circulation pipe (3.6.5 "Circulation pipe").

If not, fit the blind threaded plug and gasket (C) supplied with the drain valve, as shown in the figure.

3.6.5Circulation pipe

See (C) in the installation diagram (3.5 "Installation diagram").

If an immediate flow of hot water is required at draw-off points, a circulation pump can be installed. This improves comfort and reduces water wastage.

1.Fit a circulation pump (6) of the correct capacity for the length and resistance of the circulation system.

2.Fit a non-return valve (5) behind the circulation pump to guarantee the direction of circulation.

3.Fit two stop valves for service purposes (4).

4.Connect the circulation pipe to the T-piece at the drain valve (9) as shown in the drain valve figure (3.6.4 "Drain valve").

Warning

Unvented

The installation should be carried out by an authorised installation engineer,

 

in compliance with general and local regulations (1.3 "Regulations").

3.7.1Cold water side

See (A) in the installation diagram (3.5 "Installation diagram").

1.Fit an approved stop valve (4) on the cold water side as required by applicable regulations (1.3 "Regulations").

2.The maximum working pressure of the appliance is 8 bar. Because the pressure in the water pipe at times can exceed 8 bar, you must fit an approved pressure-reducing valve (1).

3.Fit a non-return valve (5) and an expansion vessel (16).

4.Fit an expansion valve (15) and connect the overflow side to an open wastewater pipe.

3.7.2Recirculation pipe

You can install a top to bottom circulation pump to prevent water stacking in the boiler.

1.Optional: depending on the draw-off pattern, fit a recirculation pipe (Ø 22 mm), a stop valve (11) and a top to bottom circulation pump (7).

2.Fit a non-return valve (5).

3.Fit a stop valve (11).

3.7.3Hot water side

See (B) in the installation diagram (3.5 "Installation diagram").

Note

Insulating long hot water pipes will prevent unnecessary energy loss.

1.Optional: fit a temperature gauge (12) so you can check the temperature of the tap water.

2.Fit the T&P valve (3).

3.Fit a stop valve (11) in the hot water outlet pipe for servicing.

3.7.4Drain valve

1.Fit the standard drain valve (9) supplied with the appliance.
