Product description
2.1Designated use
The Logano G515 oil/gas-fired boilers have been designed for the
heating of water.
The Logano G515 can be operated with oil, gas, and combination
burners. For a list of the approved burners, please contact Bosch
Thermotechnology Corp.
This boiler can be operated with an aquastat, the Logamatic 4000, and
other control systems.
2.2Operating conditions
Thermostream technology is a unique feature of Buderus cast iron
boilers. Return water is preheated and mixed within the boiler before it
comes in contact with the heating surface of the combustion chamber.
The Thermostream technology ensures there is an even temperature
distribution in the boiler and avoids condensate forming within the
combustion chamber. This unique feature reduces thermal stress, the
main cause of failure of traditional cast iron boilers. The advantage of
this technology is the maintenance of the minimum operating
temperature of the boiler ( Tab. 3); this makes the installation of a
shunt pump unnecessary. This way, the costs for the pump itself and its
power consumption, as well as possible failure costs are saved. The
minimum boiler operating temperature as shown in the table below must
be reached within 10 minutes and then be maintained while the burner
is running.

1) This temperature has to be reached within ten minutes of the burner starting and has to be maintained whilst the burner is firing.
2) The maximum supply temperature is 212 °F (100 °C), if the boiler is operated as hot water boiler.
3) The maximum supply temperature is 248 °F (120 °C), if the boiler is operated as a hot water generator.
This operating condition can be easily achieved by the controls
monitoring the boiler temperature and reducing the flow rate through
the boiler until the required temperature is reached. This is then
maintained by continuing to control flow based on the boiler water
temperature. The controls can reduce the flow rate by closing the valves
on the mixed heating circuits, modulating the boiler primary pumps or by
closing the motorized butterfly valves or by having a motorized valve in
the boiler return on a single boiler installation. The Buderus 4000 series
control panel can manage this process or it can be completed by the
BMS.
If it is not possible for the control panel to regulate the flow sufficiently to
meet this operating condition, then a shunt pump circuit must be fitted
to avoid the type of thermal stress that all boilers would experience in
these conditions. This shunt pump circuit can be controlled either with a
Buderus 4000 control panel or with a third-party controller. Failure to
ensure that the operating condition is maintained may lead to thermal
stress in the boiler and eventual failure of the sections which would be
outside the scope of the warranty.
2.3Compliance with standards and regulations
Installation and operation of the system must comply with all applicable
codes, regulations and statutory requirements.
Installation, connection of the fuel supply and flue connector,
commissioning, connection of the electrical power supply, servicing and
repair may only be carried out by trained and certified heating
contractor. Only registered gas fitters may carry out work on the gas
train.
The system must be cleaned and serviced once a year. The operation of
the complete system must be tested at the same time. Any faults must be
corrected immediately.
The design and mode of operation of this boiler comply with the
American National Standard ANSI Z21.13/CSA4.9, latest edition for
Gas Fired Low Pressure Steam and Hot Water Boilers.
Other confirmed approvals and certifications are indicated by labels on
the boiler.

The next step describes the installation of the supply pipe
( Chapter 7.4, page 18).
7.4Inserting the supply pipe (parts crate)
The supply pipe ( Fig. 24, [4]) consists of 2 pieces for boilers with
10 – 12 boiler sections.
▶ Push the flat gasket over the supply pipe ( Fig. 24, [1]).
▶ Push the supply pipe from the front into the top boiler hub.
▶ Close off with flange cover ( Fig. 24, [2]).
The supply pipe must be fixed in such a way that the
holes on the supply pipe are positioned at the correct
angle. This ensures optimum distribution of water in the
area of the top boiler hub (Thermostream principle).
▶ Make sure that the cam [3] on the end plate of the
supply pipe ( Fig. 24, [3]) fits in the notch in the
top boiler hub ( Fig 24, [5]).
7.3Setting up the boiler block – (assembled block)
DANGER: Risk of fatal injury from falling objects.
▶ Provide a suitable means of supporting the load.
▶ Observe all locally applicable occupational health &
safety regulations regarding lifting equipment.
▶ Cut the straps ( Fig. 23, [1]).
▶ Remove the pallet prior to positioning the boiler block
( Fig. 23, [2]).

Conduct a leak test of the boiler block only when the boiler was delivered
disassembled. Pre-assembled sections are leak tested in the factory.
For details of assembling the remainder of the boiler if the block is
delivered pre-assembled, see Chapter 10, page 34.
7.6.1Carrying out leak test
NOTICE: Risk of system damage from overpressure.
▶ Ensure that no pressure, control or safety equipment
is fitted during leak tests.
The leak test must be performed with a test pressure of 125 psi (8.6
bar). Use a pressure gauge class 1.0 to measure the pressure.
▶ Close off lower boiler hub ( Fig. 26, [3]) at the front and rear. To
do this, place corresponding seal ( Fig. 26, [1]) on the relevant
boiler hub and screw on flange cover with edge length 4 21/64
inches (110 mm). In this case, the flange with the tapped hole (R ¾)
for the fill and drain connection ( Fig. 26, [2]) is mounted on the
rear of the boiler.
▶ Install the on-site fill and drain valve.
▶ Close off supply and return connections (supply connection flange
with purger valve).
Fig. 27 Separating the boiler block
▶ Use new nipples and new sealant rope for
reassembly.
▶ Pull the boiler back together and repeat the leak test.

▶ Slowly fill the boiler with water via the fill and drain connection. While
doing this, purge the air from the boiler via the boiler supply
connection with purger.
7.6.2Sealing leaks
▶ If a hub connection is leaking, first drain the water through the fill/
drain valves.
▶ Remove supply pipe.
▶ Undo nuts on tie rods and remove tie rods.
▶ Separate the boiler at the leak location by driving (knocking) in flat
wedges or chisels between the sections at the points provided at the
top and bottom ( Fig. 27, [1 and 2], between the sections).

connection to the system side. These instructions are important for
trouble-free operation.
NOTICE: Risk of system damage from leaking
connections.
▶ All pipe connections to the boiler must be free of
stress and tension.
NOTICE: System damage from deposits, local
overheating, and corrosion.
▶ As a basic rule, clean and flush existing systems
thoroughly before connecting the new boiler.
▶ Install a desludging unit in the boiler return to
prevent damage to the boiler.
The weld neck flange is fitted to the upper boiler hub ( Fig. 28, [3] –
return connection) if the return is connected at a later stage.
The weld neck flange and flat gasket are shown ( Fig. 28, [4 and 5]).
▶ The supply connection flange ( Fig. 28, [1]) with flat gasket
( Fig. 28, [2]) is required for connecting the supply at a later
stage.
7.8Installing draft diverter, baffles and burner door
Next step in the assembly process is to install the burner door and draft
diverter. The pre-assembled boiler comes with these components
already installed.
7.8.1Positioning the draft diverter
The GP sealant rope (fiberglass cord with silicon casing) which forms a
seal is inserted in the draft diverter at the factory.
▶ Place the draft diverter onto the four threaded studs on the rear
section ( Fig. 29 [1 to 4]) and secure using washers and nuts.
