The boiler is designated for use as a hot water heating
boiler for space heating applications and to heat domestic hot water by means of an indirect fired tank for single
and multi-family homes and small commercial heating
applications.
Please observe the technical data on the rating label
and technical information (Î Chapter 3, page 7), to ensure proper application of this product.
2.2Product Description
The G125 BE is a oil fired low temperature boiler with
boiler water temperature regulation.
The boiler consists of:
– Optional Logamatic control
– Boiler jacket
– Boiler block with insulation
– Burner
The optional Logamatic control manages most control
functions in a heating system.
As an alternative, a Aquasmart control can be used for
boiler control.
The boiler jacket serves to reduce energy loss and as a
noise reducing agent.
The boiler block transfers the heat generated by the
burner to the boiler water. The insulation reduces the
stand-by losses.
