이 교 DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND OPERATING SEQUENCE
Water system design

The basic purpose of a boiler is to generate heat through the combustion of gas and to direct the heat through a water circuit.

A combination-type appliance allows the heat to be used either for heating the environment or for heating hot water for domestic use.

Main water circuit

This is an internal water circuit in the appliance which passes through the main heat exchanger and absorbs heat directly from the combustion of gas. The water in this circuit is the same water that is circulated by the pump and flows through the c.h. system.

The direction of the water in the main water circuit can be changed by a divertor valve. The main water circuit is connected to the c.h. circuit during operation with the c.h. system (see fig. 1.2)

When d.h.w. is required, the main water circuit is directed through the d.h.w. heat exchanger via the divertor valve (see fig. 1.3).

fig. 1.3

Safety device

If the flow rate in the main water circuit is insufficient, the flow switch on main water circuit disconnects the supply to the full sequence control p.c.b.

In this case the boiler is turned off in order to prevent damage.

An overheat thermostat disconnects the two ON-OFF operators on the gas valve; as a result, the burner is shut down and the shut down warning light will appear.

A safety valve is provided to relieve excess pressure from the main circuit.

The appliance is equipped with a safety system (venturi device and air pressure switch) which detects the velocity of the exhaust flues.

If the air pressure switch does not detect the correct velocity, the burner will shut down.

Operating sequence on central heating mode

The function switch must be set on position III . The water in the main circuit is sent to the c.h. system when the divertor valve is in the c.h. position. In this configuration, the divertor is in the normal position and the d.h.w. heat exchanger circuit is cut out. The appliance is controlled by an electronic thermostat; water delivery temperature can be adjusted from 35° C to 85° C.

Page 7

General information

When heat is required a command starts the fan, which switches the air pressure switch.

After the air pressure switch has been switched, the combustion chamber is purged of any residual unburned gasses for a few seconds. Next, the lighting cycle begins with a spark from the ignition electrode; at the same time, electrical power is fed to the two ON-OFF operators on the gas valve.

If the flame detection electrode does not sense the flame within 10 seconds from the beginning of the cycle, the full sequence control p.c.b. interrupts the lighting cycle, the electric spark is shut off and the power is disconnected from the two ON-OFF operators on the gas valve; as a result, the burner is shut down.

At this point, the shut down warning light appears and the reset push-button must be pressed to restart the lighting cycle.

If the detection electrode senses flame within 10 seconds from the beginning of the cycle, the full sequence control p.c.b. interrupts the electrical sparks and holds the burner alight

At the same time, the temperature of the heating circuit is measured by the main circuit temperature probe and this temperature is compared with the value set on the c.h. temperature adjustment (III).

After lighting has been accomplished, the flow from the gas valve is determined by the electronic regulation p.c.b. :

-When the temperature of the circuit heating water (c.h.w.) is 5°C (or more) under the preset temperature, the appliance will supply its maximum preset power. -When the temperature of the circuit heating water (c.h.w.) is just few degrees under (<5°C) the preset temperature, the appliance will supply its minimum preset power (that corresponds to 35% of the maximum rated power).

D.h.w. only operation

When the function switch is set on position ¬ the c.h. adjustment system is deactivated, the divertor valve is actuated and the shutter closes water delivery to the d.h.w. heat exchanger. When d.h.w. is drawn from the d.h.w. system, the appliance operates in the same way as when the function switch set on position III .

General requirements

2,5 AIR SUPPLY

The room in which the boiler is installed does not require a purpose provided air vent.

If installed in a cupboard or compartement, ventilation is required for cooling.

Recommendations for air supply are detailed in BS 5440-2:

the following notes are for general guidance:

the minimum effective area requirement is

230.4 cm2 / 34.9 in2 at high level

230.4 cm2 / 34.9 in2 at low level

The figures quotes relate to the ventilation requirement if the ventilation is into a room. If the ventilation is to the outside then the above sizes can be halved.

2.5 WATER CIRCULATION (Central heating)

Detailed recommendations are given in BS 6798-1987 and BS 5449-1 1990; the following notes are given for general guidance.

Pipework

Copper tubing to BS 2871-1 1977 is recommended for water pipes. Jointing should be either with capillary soldered or compression fittings.

Where possible pipes should have a gradient to ensure air is carried naturally to air release points and water flows naturally to drain taps.

should be ensured as far as possible that the appliance heat exchanger is not a natural collecting point for air. Except where providing useful heat, pipes should be insulated to prevent heat loss and avoid freezing. Particular attention should be paid to pipes passing through ventilated spaces in roofs and under floors.

Installation of by-pass

The installation of a by-pass is essential if all of the radiators are to be fitted with thermostatic radiator valves. The suggested method of installation is shown in the diagram below, in figure 2.3.

System design

This boiler is suitable only for sealed systems. A typical lay-out is illustrated in fig. 2.3.

Drain cocks

These must be located in accessible positions to permit the draining of the whole system. The taps must be at least 15 mm nominal size and manufactured in accordance with BS 2870-1980.

Air release points

These must be fitted at all high points where air naturally collects and must be sited to facilitate complete filling of the system.

The appliance has an integral sealed expansion vessel to accomodate the increase of water volume when the

Page 10

It can accept up to 7 lts (1.5 gals) of expansion water If the heating circuit has an unusually high water content. calculate the total expansion and add additional cooled expansion vessel with adequate capacity

Mains water feed: central heating

No direct connection to the mains water supply even through a non return valve, may be made without the approval of the Local Water Authority

Filling

A method for initially filling the system and replacing water lost during servicing must be provided and it must comply with local water authority regulations. A possible method is shown in fig. 2.4

The installer should ensure that no leaks exist as frequent filling of the sytem could cause premature scaling of the heat exchanger.

2.7 DOMESTIC WATER

The domestic water must be in accordance with the relevant recommendations of BS 5546. Copper tubing to BS 2871-1 is recommended for water carrying pipework and must be used for pipework carrying drinking water

23
Warning, this appliance must be earthed.

External wiring to the appliance must be carried out by a gualified technician and be in accordance with the current LE F. Regulations and applicable local regulations

More over this appliance is supplied for connection to a 230 V~ 50 Hz supply.

The supply must be fused at 3 A.

The method of connection to the electricity supply must facilitate complete electrical isolation of the appliance by the use of a fused double pole isolator having a contact separation of the least 3 mm in all poles or alternatively, by means of a 3 A fused three pin plug and unswitched shuttered socket outlet both complying with BS 1363.

- The actual state of the boiler;

- The eventual fault.

The informations given by the TCS are as follows ( see fig.7.2 ):

  • a) n°2 LEDS EACH SIDE OF THE DIASPLAY:
    • green LED : the boiler work properly;
    • red LED : the boiler has a fault.
  • b) DISPLAY SHOWING :

- the actual state of the boiler according to the following

numbers:

  • "0" Boiler off
  • "1" Autodiagnostic state
  • "2" Spark ignition stage
  • "3" Boiler functionning normally
  • "4" Lockout
  • "5" Boiler thermostat satisfied
  • "6" Room thermostat/clock no demand or selector in summer setting

      • model )
      • led 3 : Air pressure switch N.O.
      • led 4 : Flame detected
      • led 5 : Water at required temperature
    • led 6 : Room thermostat/clock no demand or selector in summer setting
    • led 7 : Autodiagnostics faulty

Note: During the operation of the TCS, faults may be signaled by the red LED and a letter in the display for short periods ( one second or less ), this is normal and does not signify these faults.

7.2 SPECIAL DEFECTS

There are special defects that can not been indicated by the TCS; these defects are treated in the following sections:

  • Water leaks;
  • Difficulty in lighting gas;
  • Incorrect combustion;
  • Traces of gas or exhaust gases in the installation area.
7.2.1 WATER LEAKS
Leaks from connectors, O-Rings or gaskets

Make sure that the surfaces which come into contact with the gaskets are free from dirt, roughness or deformation. Then substitute the gasket (both O-rings and flat gaskets).

Water leaks from safety valve

This may be caused by leaks from the d.h.w. over-pressurizing the heating circuit.

In this case remove the d.h.w. heat exchanger and replace it.

If the leak only occurs when the appliance is operating, empty the main water circuit and check the pressure applied to expansion vessel (1.2 bar).

7.2.2 DIFFICULTY IN LIGHTING THE BURNER

Make sure that input and output pressures on the gas valve are set to the correct values.

Also, make sure that no pressure variations are being caused by a malfunctioning component (defective pressure reducers or regulator; dirty gas filters; other gas consuming equipment installed on the same gas line, etc.).

Page 36

Make sure that the ignition electrodes are positioned correctly. Make sure that injectors are clean.

7.2.3 INCORRECT COMBUSTION

Make sure that the gas modulator has been set correctly and make sure that the following elements are clean:

  • Burner;
  • Combustion chamber;
  • Flue system.

Make sure that the exhaust flue does not return to the appliance through the air intake duct.

Make sure that the flue terminal on the exhaust system has been installed in the correct position (see sect 3.4). If extension flue have been used in the exhaust duct, make sure that these flue have been inserted correctly.

Please ensure that flue length does not exceed the maximum allowed ( consult special manual ).

Type c boiler installation instructions for air and flue exhaust pipes.

7.2.4 TRACES OF GAS OR EXHAUST FLUES

If gas is detected in the installation area, use a soap solution or a specific leak-detection product to make sure that all the gas connectors in the system are perfectly sealed.

Check for leaks when the appliance is shut down and during operation.

If exhaust fumes are detected in the installation area, make sure that the exhaust duct has been built to the exact

specifications prescribed. Also, check the exhaust duct for leaks and make sure that it is clean. Make sure that all exhaust duct-work conforms to current technical standards.

7.3 INSTALLATION OF THE TCS

1 Remove the boiler casing and lower the control panel as described in paragraph 6.2;

2 To remove the electronic PCB from its clamp, lift and then rotate it then remove the cover of pcb (fig.7.3);

3 Remove the cover at the back in order to release the cable of the TCS.

You will see that there are two connectors: a black one

and a grey one (see fig.7.4).

Connect the grey connector to the electronic PCB (see fig.7.5).

With the boiler switch set to ON, once you have made above connections, all the LEDs will light up and number 8 will flash on the display for one second; it means that the TCS is ready for use.

7.4 FAULT FINDING

The TCS gives information as to whether the boile faulty or is running properly.

According to the signals of the TCS, some verificati must be made and then the faults can be removed.

Follows the fault flow chart and the relative verificati according to the TCS state.

If the TCS is not available or is damaged, please foll the sequence as described at par. 7.5.
