B. HOW BOILER OPERATES
Elite Heating Boiler
®
Condensing Technology is
an intelligent system that delivers highly efficient hydronic heating, while maximizing efficiency by measuring the data parameters of
your heating system. Outlined below are the
features of the system and how they operate:
1. Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger – The highly
efficient Elite Heating Boiler
®
Stainless Steel
Heat exchanger is designed to use the cold
return water from the system and extract the
last bit of heat before it is exhausted.
2. Modulating Combustion System – The
combustion system will modulate the output of
the burner during operation to match the
system demand and achieve the control set
point while in operation. The set point can
change by internal or external signals which
enhance the overall performance of the system.
3. Control – The integrated control system
monitors the system and regulates the fan
speed to control the boilers output. This
allows the boiler to deliver only the amount
of heated energy required and nothing more.
This control can be set up to monitor outdoor
temperature through an outdoor sensor to
regulate the set point of the boiler. The
system can be further enhanced by
connecting up to an indirect water heater to
provide domestic hot water.
The control can regulate the output of
multiple boilers through its cascade system
function. The cascade system is capable of
connecting up to eight boilers together in
such a way that they function as one boiler
system. This allows for greater turn down
ratios and provides systematic control of the
multiple boilers in an installation to minimize
downtime and maximize efficiency.
The cascade system works by establishing
one boiler as the master and the other
connected boilers as followers. The master
boiler will have a cascade system sensor and
a cascade pump connected to it in addition to
its own boiler pump. The follower boilers will
have their own individual pump connected to
PART 1: PRODUCT AND SAFETY INFORMATION
(CONT’D)
CAUTION
Consider piping and installation when
determining boiler location.
n
CAUTION
NEVER use automotive or standard glycol
antifreeze, ethylene glycol made for hydronic
systems. Use only inhibited propylene glycol
solutions, which are specifically formulated for
hydronic systems. Ethylene glycol is toxic and
can attack gaskets and seals used in hydronic
systems.
• Continual fresh make-up water will reduce boiler
life. Mineral buildup in the heat exchanger
reduces heat transfer, overheats the stainless
steel heat exchanger, and causes failure.
Addition of oxygen carried in by make-up water
can cause internal corrosion in system
components. Leaks in boiler or piping must be
repaired at once to prevent make-up water.

each follower boiler.
4. Text Display and Operational Led light
Indicators – The display allows the user to
change the system parameters and monitor
the system outputs.
5. Gas Valve – The gas valve senses suction
from the blower allowing gas to flow only if
the gas valve is powered and combustion air
is flowing.
6. All Metal Integrated Venturi – Controls the air
and gas flow into the burner.
7. Burner – Constructed of high grade stainless
steel, the burner uses premixed air and gas
fuel and provides a wide range of firing rates.
8. Spark Ignition – The burner is ignited by
applying a high voltage through the system
spark electrode. This causes the spark from
the electrode to ignite the mixed gas off of
the burner.
9. Supply Water Temperature Sensor – This
sensor monitors the boiler outlet water
temperature (System Supply). The control
adjusts the boiler firing rate so the supply
temperature will match the boiler set point.
10. Return Water Temperature Sensor – This
sensor monitors the boiler return water
temperature (System Return).
11. Flue Sensor – Monitors flue temperature and
adjusts firing rate.
12. Temperature and Pressure Gauge – Allows
the user to monitor the system temperature
and pressure.
13. Electrical field connections with terminal
strips – The electrical cover allows easy
access to the line voltage and low voltage
terminals strips which are clearly marked to
facilitate wiring of the boiler.
14. Condensation Collection System – This boiler
is a high efficiency appliance, therefore the
boiler will produce condensate. The collection
system has a float switch which monitors the
condensation level and prevents condensation
from backing up into the combustion system.
Inside the collection system there is a built in
trap which seals the combustion system from
the connected drain. This condensate should
be neutralized to avoid damage to the
drainage system or piping.
15. Outdoor Sensor – The outdoor sensor will
monitor the outdoor temperature and adjust
the unit’s set point to provide greater efficiency.
16. 0-10 Volt Input – Allows Installer to connect
to a BMS (Building Management System) to
control the boiler.
17. Condensate Flue Check System – The Check
system prevents exhaust from the heat
exchanger from backing up into cabinet.
18. Pump Service Mode – Allows manual
operation of pumps to commission system
and check pump operation.
19. The Vision II system allows the user to supply
mixed temperatures in up to eight zones
when connected to the Elite Boiler. The
Vision II system controls the temperature to
each zone by employing three way mixing
valves. The Vision II also controls the output
temperature of the Elite Boiler to assure
accurate temperature delivery to all the
connected zones.

2. Size the piping and components in the space
heating system using recognized design
methods.
F. HYDRONIC PIPING WITH CIRCULATORS,
ZONE VALVES AND MULTIPLE BOILERS
The Elite Heating Boiler®is designed to function in
a closed loop Hydronic System. We have included
a Temperature and Pressure Gauge that allows the
user to monitor the system pressure and outlet
temperature from the Elite Heating Boiler
®
. It is im-
portant to note that the Elite Heating Boiler
®
has a
minimal amount of pressure drop and must be calculated when sizing the circulators. Each Elite
Heating Boiler
®
installation must have an air elimination device that will remove air from the system.
Install the Elite Heating Boiler
®
so the gas ignition
system components are protected from water
(dripping, spraying, etc.). Allow clearance for basic
service of boiler circulator, valves and other components. Observe the minimum 1” clearance
around all un-insulated hot water pipes when
openings around pipes are not protected by non-
combustible materials. On an Elite Heating Boiler
®
installed above radiation level, some states and
local codes require a low water cut off device
which is optional on the Elite Heating Boiler
®
.
Check with local codes for additional requirements.
If the Elite Heating Boiler
®
supplies hot water to
heating coils in air handler units, flow control valves
or other devices must be installed to prevent gravity circulation of boiler water in the coils during the
cooling cycle. Chilled water medium must be piped
in parallel with the boiler. Freeze protection for new
or existing systems must use glycol that is specifically formulated for this purpose. It will include inhibitors that will prevent the glycol from attacking
the metallic system components. Make certain that
the system fluid is checked for the correct glycol
concentration and inhibitor level. The system
should be tested at least once a year and as recommend by the producer of the glycol solution.
Allowance should be made for the expansion of
the glycol solution in the system piping. Example:
50% by volume glycol solution expands 4.8% in
volume for the temperature increase from 32 F to
180 F, while water expands 3% with the same temperature rise.

Basic steps are listed below, with Illustration,
that will guide you through the installation of the
Elite Heating Boiler
®
.
1. Connect the system return marked “Boiler
Return”.
2. Connect the system supply marked “Boiler
Supply”.
3. Install a purge and balance valve or shut off
valve and drain on the system return to purge
air out of each zone.
4. Install a back flow preventer on the cold feed
make-up water line.
5. Install a pressure reducing valve on the cold
feed make-up water line, (15 PSI nominal on
the system return). This boiler has a maximum
working pressure of 160 PSI. You may order a
higher pressure relief valve kit from the
factory. Check temperature and pressure
gauge when operating. It should read
minimum pressure of 12 PSI.
6. Install a circulator as shown in piping details
(this section). Make sure the circulator is
properly sized for the system and friction loss.
7. Install an expansion tank on the system
supply. Consult the expansion tank
manufacturer’s instruction (see part 5, section
D for water volume) for specific information
relating to expansion tank installation. Size the
expansion tank for the required system
volume and capacity.
8. Install an air elimination device on the system
supply.
9. Install a drain valve at the lowest point of the
system. Note: The Elite Heating Boiler
®
can
not be drained completely of water without
purging the unit with an air pressure 15 PSI.
10. The relief valve, temperature & pressure
gauge are included in the accessory kit with
the Elite Boiler Accessory Kit. A pipe
discharge line should be installed 6” above
the drain in the event of a pressure relief. The
pipe size must be the same size as the relief
valve outlet. NEVER BLOCK THE OUTLET
OF THE SAFETY RELIEF VALVE.
H. CIRCULATOR SIZING
The Elite Heating Boiler
®

I. FILL AND PURGE HEATING SYSTEM
• Attach the hose to balance and purge hose
connector or drain valve and run hose to
nearest drain.
• Close the other side of the balance and purge
valve or the shut off valve after the drain.
• Open the first zone balance and purge or
drain valve to let water flow out the hose. If
zone valves are used, open the valves one at
a time manually. (Note: You should check
zone valve manufacturer’s instructions prior
to opening valves manually, so as not to
damage the zone valve.)
• Manually operate fill valve regulator. When
water runs out of the hose you will see a
steady stream of water without bubbles.
Close the balance and purge valve or drain to
stop the water from flowing. Disconnect the
hose and connect it to next zone to be
purged.
• Repeat this procedure for additional zones
(one at time).

to design the manifold system for the primary
circuit. To size, simply add up the number of
boilers and the required flow rates for the system design temperature.
Example: (5) EL-220 Elite Heating Boilers®with a
design of 20°Δt degree temperature rise with
each boiler having an individual flow rate of 22
GPM. To correctly size the manifold feeding
these (5) Elite Heating Boilers you would need a
pipe size of 4”.

Upon completion, make sure that the fill valve is
in the automatic position and each zone balance
and purge or shut off is in an open position and
zone valves are positioned for automatic operation.
1. Glycol in hydronic applications which is
specially formulated for this purpose includes
inhibitors that prevent the glycol from attacking
metallic system components. Make certain that
the system fluid is checked for the correct
glycol concentration and inhibitor level.
2. The glycol solution should be tested at least
once a year and as recommended by the
glycol manufacturer.
3. Anti-freeze solutions expand more than
water. For example a 50% by volume solution
expands 4.8% in volume for a temperature
increase from 32° F to 180° F, while water
expands 3% with the same temperature rise.
Allowances must be made for this expansion
in the system design.
4. A 30% mixture of glycol will result in a BTU
output loss of 15% with a 5% increase in
head against the system circulator.
5. A 50% mixture of glycol will result in a BTU
output loss of 30% with a 50% increase in
head against the system circulator.
J. ZONING WITH ZONE VALVES
1. Connect the boiler to the system as shown in
Piping Details (Part 5) when zoning with zone
valves. The primary/secondary piping shown
ensures the boiler loop will have sufficient
flow. It also avoids applying the high head of
the boiler circulator to the zone valves.
2. Connect DHW (domestic hot water) piping to
indirect storage water heater as shown in
Piping Details (Part 5).
K. ZONING WITH CIRCULATORS
1. Connect the boiler to the system when using
circulator zoning as shown in the Piping
Details when zoning with circulators. NOTE:
The boiler circulator cannot be used for a
zone. It must supply only the boiler loop.
2. Install a separate circulator for each zone.
3. Connect DHW (domestic hot water) piping to
indirect storage water heater as shown in the
Piping Details (Part 5).
L. MULTIPLE BOILERS
1. Connect multiple boilers as shown in the
Piping Details (Part 5).
2. All piping shown is reverse return to assure
balanced flow throughout the connected
boilers.
3. Each connected boiler must have its own
circulator pump to assure adequate flow.
4. Connect DHW (domestic hot water) piping to
indirect storage water heater as shown in the
Piping Details (Part 5).
5. The system flow (secondary loop) must be
greater than the boiler’s primary loop flow.
n
CAUTION
For installations that incorporate standing iron
radiation and systems with manual vents at the
high points. Follow the previous section and
starting with the nearest manual air vent, open
the vent until water flows out, then close the
vent. Repeat the procedure, working your way
toward furthest air vent. It may be necessary to
install a basket strainer in an older system
where larger amounts of sediment may be
present. Annual cleaning of the strainer may be
necessary.
n
WARNING
Use only inhibited propylene glycol solutions
which are specially formulated for hydronic
systems. Ethylene glycol is toxic and can attack
gaskets and seals used in hydronic systems.
Glycol mixtures should not exceed 50%.
n
CAUTION
It is highly recommended that you carefully
follow the glycol manufacturer’s recommended
concentrations, expansion requirements and
maintenance recommendations (pH additive
breakdown, inhibitor reduction, etc.). You must
carefully calculate the additional friction loss in
the system as well as the reduction in heat
transfer co-efficients.
