1. DESCRIPTION
1.01 Introduction
The Ferroli F24 is defi ned as a “room sealed” combination boiler, all air required for combustion is taken from outside the room in which it is installed. It is a new high performance gas fi red heat generator for central heating and domestic hot water production. A special feature of this boiler is its built-in electronic fl ame ignition and control unit making burner operation completely automatic and safe. The main components are as follows:
• Copper heat exchanger consisting of three fi nned tubes specifi cally shaped for high effi ciency.
• There are three copper coils inserted in the three heating circuit tubes. These represent the domestic hot water heat exchang er. Their shape and high exchange surface area enable the full output of the boiler to be absorbed.
• Ceramic fi bre insulated combustion chamber
• 12 stainless steel bladed burners specifi cally designed for this boiler.
Fan for discharge of combustion products and intake of combustion air.
• Differential air pressure switch. For safety reasons, this ensures the burner ignites only when the fan is functioning correctly.
• Hermetically sealed compartment made from corrosion-resistant steel enclosing the above components.
• Combination gas safety valve with modulator, complete with pressure stabiliser.
Flowmeter giving the domestic hot water circuit precedence over the central heating circuit.
• Pressure relief valve for the central heating circuit set to open at 3 bar.
• Built-in Expansion vessel.
• Variable speed pump.
• Central heating fl ow temperature adjustment thermostat.
• Domestic hot water fl ow temperature adjustment thermostat.
• Central heating limit thermostat.
• Overheat safety thermostat.
• Electronic control unit for automatic fl ame ignition and control.
• Central heating low water pressure cut off switch.
• Domestic hot water fl ow temperature sensor.
• Central heating fl ow temperature sensor.

N.B. - The gas pressures at the burner and gas fl ows during the central heating phase given in the table refer to nominal boiler output. To reduce this output (where necessary), gas pressure must be reduced until the required output level is reached (see fi gures 4 and 5).
During domestic hot water production, gas pressures to the burner must correspond to the maximum output given in table for the type of gas.
Gas pressure must be adjusted during maximum draw-off of domestic hot water.
• Maximum working temperature for central heating ow: 85°C
• Maximum temperature of domestic hot water: 55°C, adjustable between 40°C and 55°C.
• Minimum domestic cold water pressure required for 95% heat input:
- Flow restrictor tted (standard) - 1,2 bar;
- Flow restrictor removed - 0,5 bar

2.04 Central heating adjustment (not normally required)
To adjust boiler heat input (thus also regulating heat output to the central heating water) simply adjust the main burner via the electronic control board (fi g. 4 and 5 and see paragraph 5.04 page 29). The diagrams indicate the variation in heat output to the water as burner working pressure is varied. Adjusting boiler output to the actual requirements of the central heating system will minimise boiler cycling thus saving fuel, varying the output has virtually no effect on the efficiency and combustion characteristics of the boiler.

3. INSTALLATION DETAILS
Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations: 1996
In the interest of safety, it is the law that all gas appliances are installed by a competent person in accordance with the above Regulations, Building Regulations/Building Standards Scotland, Codes of Practice, current I.E.E. Regulations and the byelaws of the Local Water Undertaking. Failure to comply with the Regulations may lead to
prosecution; it is your responsibility to ensure that the law is complied with. N.B. For Northern Ireland the rules in force apply.
Important - If the boiler is to be tted in a timber framed building it should be tted in accordance with the Institute of Gas Engineers document IGE/UP/7. If in doubt advice should be sought from the Local Supplier.
Location of Boiler
The installation of the Ferroli F24 must be on a suitable non-combustible load bearing wall which will provide an adequate fi xing for the boiler mounting bracket assembly. The location should be in an area where the water pipes will not be subjected to frost conditions. In siting the combination boiler the following limitations must be observed:
The combination boiler may be installed in any room or internal space, although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of the current I.E.E. wiring regulations and in Scotland the electrical provisions of the building regulations applicable in Scotland, with respect to the installation of the combination boiler in a room or internal space containing a bath or shower.
Where a room sealed appliance is installed in a room containing a bath or shower any electrical switch or appliance control utilising mains electricity must be situated so that it cannot be touched by a person using the bath or shower.
Air Supply
The room or compartment in which the boiler is installed does not require a purpose provided vent when using the standard concentric ue.
Flue System
The boiler allows the ue outlet to be taken from the rear of the boiler, from either side or vertically.
A standard ue length of 0.75 metres is provided. Alternative lengths of two or three metres can be supplied (equivalent to wall thicknesses of up to 565, 1815 and 2815mm for rear ues, deduct 91mm plus distance from side
wall for side outlet ues). It is absolutely essential, to ensure that products of combustion discharging from the terminal cannot re-enter the building, or enter any adjacent building, through ventilations, windows, doors, natural air infi ltration or forced ventilation/air conditioning.
Gas Supply
If necessary the local Gas supplier should be consulted, at the installation planning stage, in order to establish the availability of an adequate supply of gas.
An existing service pipe must not be used without prior consultation with the Local Gas supplier. A gas meter can only be connected by the Local Gas supplier, or by a Local Gas suppliers Contractor. Installation pipes should be fi tted in accordance with BS6891-1988. Appliance inlet working pressure must be 20mbar MINIMUM, for NG and 37 mbar minimum for LPG.
Pipework from the meter to the combination boiler must be of an adequate size. The boiler requires 2.73m3/h of natural gas, and 2,00 kg/h of LPG.
Do not use pipes of a smaller size than the combination boiler inlet gas connection.
The complete installation must be tested for gas soundness and purged as described in BS6981-1988. All pipework must be adequately supported. An isolating gas valve is provid ed and should be tted on the boiler gas inlet. Please wait 10 minutes when lighting from cold befor e checking gas rate. Gas pressures should be checked after
the boiler has operated for 10 minutes to reach thermal equilibrium. Water System
Note - the boiler is designed for sealed systems only and must NOT be used on open vented systems.
FERROLI F24

Fig. 9
Central Heating
Detailed recommendations are given in BS6798, BS5449, BS6700 and CP342 Part 2. Pipework not forming part of the useful heating surface should be insulated to prevent any heat losses or possible freezing (i.e. in roof spaces or ventilated underfl oor spaces). Drain taps should be positioned at the lowest point of the system in accessible locations to permit the whole system to be drained down. The drain taps should be in accordance with BS2879. Copper tubing to BS2871, Part 1 is recommended for water carrying pipework. Pipework in horizontal runs should have a gradient where possible to facilitate the removal of air. Ensure that the boiler heat exchanger is not a natural point for air collection. A typical heating system with domestic hot water circuit is illustrated in fi g. 9.
Important - If thermostatic radiator vales are tted a bypass must be tted to ensure a minimum ow rate through the boiler of 6 l/min. The bypass should be tted as far as possible from the boiler.
Make Up Water
Provision must be made for replacing water lost from the sealed system. Reference should be made to BS6798, for methods of fi lling and making up sealed systems. There must be no direct connection between the boiler's central heating system and the mains water supply. The use of mains water to charge and pressurise the system directly, is conditional upon the Local Water Byelaws. Again any such connection must be disconnected after use. A typical temporary fi lling loop is shown in fi g. 10.
Domestic Hot Water
Always fi t a scale reducer in "hard water areas" (18 clarke degrees or over)". A 15mm copper connection point
on the boiler for attaching to the main supply is provided. The maximum domestic water pressure for the
inlet supply is 10 bar (145 P.S.I.). If the cold mains supply exceeds 5 bar (72 P.S.I.), a water governor or pressure reducing valve must be tted by the installer into the mains supply in an inconspicuous but
accessible position preferable between 3 and 5 metres (10-16ft) before the appliance. Such a valve must be approved by the Water Research Council.
Attention - is drawn to the Model Water Byelaws. Fittings manufactured from duplex (alpha-beta) brass are
not acceptable for underground use and certain water undertakings will not accept their use above ground.
Ensure all pipework is adequately supported NOTE: A bypass that will ensure a minimum fl ow rate of
6 l/min. at all all time must be fi tted as far as possible from the boiler if thermostatic radiator valves are fi tted thoughout.

Notes on concentric horizontal installation
To locate the centre of the hole for passing the pipes through the wall, refer to fi g. 13b. Bear in mind that the two concentric pipes must slope downwards away from the boiler at a rate of about 3 mm/m to avoid rainwater entering the boiler. The concentric pipes making up the air
- fl ue gas duct must be sealed with the gasket where they join the boiler (fi g. 17). Outside, the pipes should protrude from the wall between 10 and 60 mm (fi g. 17).
3.03.3 Maximum concentric ue length
First table below shows the maximum ue lengths available for boilers with concentric systems. For correct calculation remember to include the reduction for bends on second table. Please refer to
