Water flow
Manometric height central heating circuit
The boiler is fitted with a modulating pump which is regulated by the
control panel as a function of ΔT= (Flow T °C - Return T °C).
The graph shows the manometric height at various outputs. The
parameters MIN.PUMP SPEED and MAX.PUMP SPEED are used to
modify the pump settings. If flow noise can be heard in the system, it
is possible to reduce the maximum pump speed with the parameter
MAX.PUMP SPEED (First of all, vent the heating system). If
circulation in the radiators is too low or the radiators do not fully heat
up, increase the minimum pump speed with the parameter
MIN.PUMP SPEED.
¼See chapter: "Professional settings", page 114.
4.2.3.Water flow rate
The boiler’s modulating control system limits the maximum difference
in temperature between the heating flow and return and the maximum
speed at which the flow temperature increases. In this way, the boiler
does not require a minimum water flow rate.

5.2.3.Ventilation
CAUTION
In order to avoid damage to the boiler, it is necessary to
prevent the contamination of combustion air by chlorine
and/or fluoride compounds, which are particularly
corrosive. These compounds are present, for example, in
aerosol sprays, paints, solvents, cleaning products,
washing products, detergents, glues, snow clearing salts,
etc. Therefore:
4Do not pull in air evacuated from premises using such
products: hairdressing salons, dry cleaners,
industrial premises (solvents), premises containing
refrigeration systems (risk of refrigerant leakage),
etc.
4Do not stock such products close to the boilers.
If the boiler and/or peripheral equipment are corroded
by such chloride or fluoride compounds, the
contractual guarantee cannot be applied.
Type C - Forced flue version
n
If the evacuation of combusted gases and the intake of combustive
air are done using a concentric conduit, ventilation of the boiler room
is not necessary.
Condensing boilers require a flue gas discharge system or a fresh air
inlet specially adapted to the method of operation. Installation must
be carried out in accordance with current laws.
CAUTION
Do not block the air inlet, combustion product evacuation
or condensation water flow pipes (even partially).
Avoid any low points in the flue gas and condensates
discharge circuit in order to prevent any condensates
accumulation.
Type B - Open flue
n
Condensing boilers require a flue gas discharge system or a fresh air
inlet specially adapted to the method of operation. Installation must
be carried out in accordance with current laws.
32
Position the air inlets in relation to the high ventilation vents in order
that the air is refreshed throughout the boiler room.
CAUTION
4Avoid any low points in the flue gas and condensates
discharge circuit in order to prevent any condensates
accumulation.
4Do not block the air inlets in the room or the
combustion products evacuation or condensation
water flow pipes (even partially).

5.6Flue gas system connections - Depending on country
CAUTION
To obviate any transmission of boiler operating noise into
the home, the flue gas connection pipes must not be
bricked into the walls. Use a sleeve.
WARNING
Fix the concentric conduits to the wall using clamps and
brackets. The conduits come under stress at each startup and may eventually work free of their fitments. Should
this happen, the boiler continues to operate and pollutes
the air in the premises. This risk is even higher when the
length of the flue gas connection pipe to the wall or
chimney is significant. The horizontal flue gas pipes must
be installed with a minimum gradient of 1% to allow the
flow of the condensates that form in the pipes to the boiler
siphon.

5.10.1.Water treatment
In most cases, the boiler and the central heating installation can be
filled with normal tap water and no water treatment will be necessary.
WARNING
Do not add chemical products to the central heating water
without first consulting a water treatment professional. For
example: antifreeze, water softeners, products to increase
or reduce the pH value, chemical additives and/or
inhibitors. These may cause faults in the boiler and
damage the heat exchanger.
For an optimum functioning of the boiler, the water of the installation
must comply with following characteristics:
Degree of acidity (water non-treated) pH6,5 - 8,5
Degree of acidity (water treated)pH7 - 9
Conductivity at 25°CµS/cm≤ 500
Chloridesmg/l≤ 50

0,5 - 3,5
4Flush the central heating installation with at least 3x
the volume of the central heating installation. Flush
the DHW pipes with at least 20 times the volume of
the pipes.
If a water treatment is necessary, De DietrichThermique recommends the following manufacturers:
