range consists of 7 gas fired models with outputs
ranging from 75kW to 320kW. The boilers can also
be stacked as ‘Dual’ versions, with 7 models giving
outputs ranging from 150kW to 640kW. Refer to
section 3.0 for dimensional details.
Ansty condensing boilers can be used individually,
or in a multi-boiler configuration, and are suitable for
use on either open-vented or sealed low
temperature hot water heating systems with a
maximum working pressure up to 5 bar (73psi). For
hot water production they can be used in
conjunction with calorifiers or indirect hot water
cylinders. Refer to section 8.0 for system details.
Ansty condensing boilers are suitable for connection
to a normal temperature, low temperature or a
condensing system.
For optimum efficiency performance, the Ansty
condensing boiler should be used in systems with a
return temperature below 55°C. Above this
temperature, condensate from the flue gases will not
form and the boiler will operate as a ‘High Efficiency’
boiler.
Ansty condensing boilers are assembled with a
slight incline of the heat exchanger, assisting with
the disposal of condensate from the flue collector
box at the rear of the boiler. The front and rear
support plates are removable to accommodate
access through small openings.
Chesil pressurisation units are available from
Hamworthy Heating Ltd for sealed systems.
The Ansty condensing boiler can be fitted with either
a high/low or modulating burner for operation on
Natural Gas I
(Second Family). Refer to section
2H
10.6 for performance and burner details.
The boiler is supplied with a pre-wired control panel
which contains:
a. A fuse
b. An illuminated mains on/off switch
c. Boiler thermostats - Hi/Lo
d. Boiler run lamp
e. A temperature limiter (overheat thermostat) to
shut down the boiler should the water
temperature in the heat exchanger exceed
110
o
C - with manual reset.
f. Hours run meters for Hi & Lo operation.
g. A water temperature thermometer
(temperature gauge)
h. A flying lead and plug to connect to the burner
j. Volt free relays for normal run, overheat
and lockout .

4.0 LOCATION
4.1 The boiler location must permit the provision of
a satisfactory flue system, and provide adequate
space around the boiler for servicing and air
circulation.
Sufficient space must be provided at the front of the
boiler to allow the removal of the burner assembly
for servicing/replacement, and at the rear for
installation of pipes, valves and flue.
Sufficient clearance around the boiler must also be
provided to allow access for servicing. Refer to
Figures 3.1 and 3.2 for recommended clearances.
The boiler room, or compartment, housing the boiler
(s) - whether specifically constructed for the
purpose, or a modification of an existing space should be in accordance with the requirements of
either BS.6644, or BS.5410 Part 2, as appropriate.
Where a separate purpose built boiler room is not
available, measures should be taken to protect the
boiler or boilers from damage, and the boiler should
be sited such that extraneous material cannot be
stored next to, or against it.
The Ansty condensing boiler is of all welded circular
construction containing a series of fire tubes
between the combustion chamber and outer shell
and therefore requires installing on a suitable level
non-combustible surface, capable of withstanding
temperatures of 65
°
C and able to support the weight
of the boiler (including pipework and ancillary
equipment) when filled with water.
The compartment housing the boiler must have
permanent air vents communicating directly with the
outside air at both high and low level. Refer to
Section 7.0 for details.
5.0 GAS SUPPLY
5.1 Gas Service Pipes
The local gas region should be consulted at the
installation planning stage to either determine the
feasibility of providing a gas supply or, where there
is an existing supply, to ensure that the meter
capacity is adequate for the rated input of the
proposed new boiler. An existing gas service pipe
must not be used without prior consultation with the
local gas region.
5.2 Gas Meters
A new gas meter will be connected to the service pipe
by the local gas region, or a local gas region contractor.
An existing meter should be checked, preferably by the
gas region, to ensure that it is adequate to deal with the
rate of gas supply required.
5.3 Gas Supply Pipes
Supply pipes must be fitted in accordance with BS 6891
or IGE/UP/2. Pipework from the meter to the boiler must
be of adequate size. Do not use pipes of a smaller size
than the boiler gas connection. The complete installation
must be purged and tested for soundness as described
in BS 6891 or IGE/UP/1 and IGE/UP/1A as
appropriate.
A manual shut off valve must be fitted on the incoming
gas supply pipe, adjacent to each boiler, in an easily
accessible position.
5.4Boosted Gas Supplies
Where it is necessary to employ a gas pressure
booster, the controls must include a low pressure cut-off
switch at the booster inlet. The local gas region must be
consulted before a gas pressure booster is fitted.
5.5 Boiler House Gas Control Valve
A manual valve for boiler house isolation shall be fitted
in the gas supply line. It shall be clearly identified and
readily accessible for operation, preferably by an exit.
6.0 FLUE SYSTEM
6.1 General Requirements
Detailed recommendations for flue systems are given in
BS 6644, IGE/UP/10, "Flues for Commercial and
Industrial Gas-Fired Boilers and Air Heaters."
The following notes are intended to give general
guidance only.
The flue passages within the Ansty boiler operate
under pressurised conditions and in order to
eliminate any additional resistance, it is
recommended that the flue system shall be adapted
to its design diameter as soon as possible, after
leaving the boiler.
The boiler should be connected to a single flue
system in the case of a single boiler, or a common
flue header in the case of a multiple boiler
installation. Flue systems must be self supporting,
contain access for cleaning and contain a
maintenance joint near the boiler outlet to allow for
removal of the flue box during servicing.
Ansty boilers are suitable for installation in a
balanced compartment in accordance with the
requirements of BS 6644. Consult Hamworthy
Heating Technical Department for help or
assistance if in doubt.
6.2Design Waste Gas Volume and Temperature
It is recommended that the volume and temperature
of the waste gases used for design of the flue
system are as shown in Figures 3.3 and 3.4.
HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD
6
ANSTY
500001119/D
6.3 Materials
Materials used for the flue system must be mechanically
robust, resistant to internal and external corrosion, noncombustible and durable under the conditions to which
they are likely to be subjected.
Consideration should be given to possible freezing of
condense water traps and pipework. This must be
avoided at all times. Insulate condense pipes if freezing
temperatures are likely to be encountered.
Chimneys should be lined with a non-porous acidresistant material in accordance with BS.5854, e.g.
a flexible flue liner or similar British Gas Approved
material. The internal diameter of the liner must not
be less than the recommended flue size and the
number of joints should be kept to a minimum.
Any joint between the flexible liner and the flue pipe
from the boiler should be made using a purpose
made connector. Existing chimneys should be
thoroughly swept before use and any register plates,
dampers, or restrictions removed.
If the boiler(s) is not connected to a chimney
system, but is connected directly to outside by a
standard stainless steel flue (either single or twin
wall) it is particularly important to ensure that the
point at which it exits the building is fully
weatherproofed.
6.4 Suction
The flue system should be designed to maintain
atmospheric pressure or a slight suction at the boiler
flue connection at all times (0.1 - 0.3mbar).
It is recommended that a draught stabiliser is fitted to
the flue system where the suction is likely to exceed
0.3mbar.
6.5Disconnection
Provisions should be made for disconnection of the flue
pipe for servicing. It is advisable that bends are fitted
with removable covers for inspection and cleaning as
appropriate. NOTE! The flue system must be self
supporting and not present a risk to people in or around
the building. See Section 13.0:SERVICING for further
information.
6.6 Flue Discharge
The flue system must ensure safe and efficient
operation of the boiler to which it is attached, protect the
combustion process from wind effects and disperse the
products of combustion to the external air.
The flue must terminate in a freely exposed position and
be situated so as to prevent the products of combustion
entering any opening in a building. Consideration should
be given to the fitting of a flue discharge terminal or grille
to stop the ingress of birds etc.
The flue system should be designed such that the
flue terminates at least 1 metre above the roof
surface, or above the level of any nearby structure
which is within 2.5 metres of the flue.
6.7 Surface Temperatures
Combustible materials in the vicinity of the boiler and
flue shall not exceed 65 °C during boiler operation. The
flue shall not be closer than 50mm to any combustible
material, except where it passes through such material
with a non-combustible sleeve when the air gap may
not be less than 25mm.
6.8Flue System Location
The flue system must not be placed or fitted where
there is undue risk of accidental damage to the flue pipe
or undue danger to persons in the vicinity. NOTE! The
flue MUST be self supporting. Check that the flue and
chimney are clear from any obstruction.
6.9 Condensate Discharge
When designing the flue system, care must be taken
to ensure that any condensate which may form
within the system can be safely drained to a suitable
waste point and that the flue material used is
resistant to the corrosive effects of that condensate.
7.0 AIR SUPPLY
Detailed recommendations for air supply are given in
BS 6644. The following notes are intended to give
general guidance. In all cases there must be provision
for an adequate supply of air for both combustion and
general ventilation, in addition to that required for any
other appliance.
7.1Air Supply By Natural Ventilation
The boiler room must have, or be provided with,
permanent air vents directly to the outside air, at high
level and at low level. For an exposed boiler house, air
vents should be fitted preferably on all four sides, but at
least on two sides. Air vents should have negligible
resistance and must not be sited in any position where
they are likely to be easily blocked or flooded or in any
position adjacent to an extraction system which is
carrying flammable vapour. Grilles or louvres must be
so designed that high velocity air streams do not occur
within the space housing the boiler.
The air supplied for boiler house ventilation shall be
such that the maximum temperatures within the boiler
house shall be as follows:
1) At floor level (or 100mm above floor level)
= 25 °C.
2) At mid-level (1.5m above floor level)
HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD
7
ANSTY
500001119/D
= 32 °C.
3) At ceiling level (or 100mm below ceiling level)
= 40 °C.
Where both low and high level openings are used, the
grilles shall have a total minimum free area of :Low Level (inlet) 540cm
of 60 kW total rated input (gross).
High Level (outlet) 270cm
2
plus 4.5cm2 per kW in excess
2
plus 2.25cm2 per kW in
excess of 60kW total rated input (gross).
7.2 Air Supply By Mechanical Ventilation
Air supplied to the boiler room by mechanical means
should be as follows :-
1) Mechanical inlet and mechanical extract can be
utilized providing design extraction rates comply with
Figure 7.1
2) Mechanical extract ventilation with natural inlet
ventilation MUST NOT be used.
NOTE: For mechanical ventilation systems an
automatic control should be provided to cut off the gas
supply to the boiler, in the event of failure of air flow in
either inlet or extract fan

8.0 WATER CIRCULATION SYSTEM
8.1 General
Recommendations for the water circulation system are
given in BS 6644 and CP 342. The following notes are
of particular importance:-
1) In a combined central heating and hot water system,
the hot water storage vessel must be of the indirect
cylinder or calorifier type. The hot water storage vessel
should be insulated preferably with not less than 75mm
(3 in) thick mineral fibre, or its thermal equivalent.
2) Circulating pipework not forming part of the useful
heating surface should be insulated to help prevent heat
loss and possible freezing, particularly where pipes are
run through roof spaces and ventilated cavities.
Cisterns situated in areas, which may be exposed to
freezing conditions, should also be insulated. Insulation
exposed to the weather should be rendered waterproof.
3) Drain valves must be located in accessible positions
which permit the draining of the whole system, including
the boiler and hot water storage vessel.
4) Each boiler has a flanged flow and return connection
located on the rear section of the boiler. A75 - A220,
50mm NB, A270 - A320 65mm NB. Mating flanges are
supplied suitable for welding to pipe.
5) Multiple boilers should be connected by flow and
return headers. Headers should be connected to the
system in a "reverse return" arrangement (the water
flow in each header is in the same direction) to ensure
equal flow in each module.
8.2 Pressure Relief Valve (Safety Valve)
The most important single safety device fitted to a boiler
is its safety valve and each boiler, or in the case of a
modular installation, each bank of boilers, must be fitted
with a pressure relief valve to BS 759 or BS 6759 Part 1
(ISO 4126) and sized as shown in BS 6644.
BS 6644 provides comprehensive information for the
selection and location of safety valves and attention is
drawn to the higher capacity requirements of safety
valves for pressurised hot water systems.
8.3 Open Vent and Cold Feed Pipe
(See BS 6644 for further information.)
Every boiler or group of boilers should have an open
vent pipe and cold feed pipe installed between the boiler
and the first water isolating valve. The minimum bore
(mm) of these pipes per installation are detailed in
Figure 8.3
The vent pipe must rise continually, must not be valved
except by a design which when closed for maintenance
the boiler is open to atmosphere. The pipe shall be
protected against freezing where this might occur.
8.4 Altitude Gauge (Water Pressure Gauge)
Every boiler or group of boilers should be provided
with a gauge complete with isolating valve. See
Figure B1.1 in Appendix B for typical position.
Boiler Output Feed Vent
60kW - 150kW 25 32
150kW – 300kW 32 38
300kW – 600kW 38 50
Figure 8.3 Cold Feed and Vent Pipe Sizes (mm)
8.5 Thermometer
See Figure B1.1 in Appendix Bfor typical position.
A thermometer complete with pocket should be fitted in
the pipework to indicate water flow temperature.
8.6 Drain Valves
Each boiler should have ¾” NB drain valve fitted (not
HHL supply), to drain the boiler only. A plugged Rc ¾”
connection is provided for a drain valve at the bottom
rear section. The heating system in total should have
drain valves as recommended by BS 6644. See Figure
HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD
8
ANSTY
500001119/D
B1.1, Appendix B for recommended positions.
8.7 Circulating Pump
One or more circulating pumps will be required to
circulate water around the boilers and heating system.
The pump should be sited to facilitate servicing. It is also
important that the existing system be flushed through
twice to remove any loose matter, which may have
accumulated. If in any doubt regarding the cleanliness
of the system, a coarse filter should be fitted in the
return pipework to the boilers.
NOTE: If boilers are run off time clock control, a pump
overrun (not HHL supply) should be fitted which must
run for a minimum of 5 minutes on shut-down of the last
boiler.
8.8 Minimum Water Flow Rates
Minimum water flow rates are shown in Figure 3.3 &
3.4.These flow rates should be maintained through
the boiler at all times whilst the boiler is firing. If the
water flow rate is allowed to fall below the minimum,
the boiler heat exchanger could fail due to the
resultant scale formation. Particular attention should
be paid to the restriction of external flow circuits
during periods of low heat demand.
8.9 Control Schemes
8.9.1 Temperature Controls
An adjustable control thermostat is supplied with each
boiler and should be set to operate within the range 3090°C for standard applications. A temperature limiter,
(hand reset limit thermostat) is also fitted to the boiler
and must be set at 110°C.
NOTE! The minimum difference between control
thermostat and temperature limiter must never be less
than 10°C.
Where the system is operating on a ΔT of 20°C, care
should be taken to ensure that the return temperature
does not fall below 50°C.
8.9.2 Water Flow Controls
Any external mixing valve/shunt pump or similar
controls should ALWAYS ENSURE that the minimum
water flow rate as shown in Figures 3.3 and 3.4 is
maintained.
8.9.3 Frost Protection
Consideration should be given to fitting a frost
thermostat set at approximately 4°C.
8.10 Unvented Systems
See Figure B1.1 in Appendix B for typical layout of a
Unvented (Pressurised) Hot Water System. For system
design refer to BS 7074 Part 2.
In order to correctly size a pressurisation unit for any
heating system certain parameters are required. These
are:-
1) Static height of highest component in system
(metres).
2) System volume - if it is not known a general rule of
thumb of 10 litres/kW of installed boiler power can be
used.
3) Maximum flow temperature (°C).
4) Maximum system hot working pressure, generally
given in bar g.
From the above information Hamworthy Heating can
size the pressurization unit and also the expansion
vessel required. Care must be taken in sizing expansion
vessels to ensure maximum acceptance factors are not
exceeded. Normally manufacturers of vessels impose
a limit of 0.5. This value must not be exceeded at any
time during the operation of the boiler: this includes the
over pressure condition should a safety valve lift.
Consideration should also be given to sizing of the
safety valve(s) in the system. See BS 6759: Part 1, for
information. See also BS 6880: Part 1 for design
considerations.
8.11 Modular Boiler Control Schemes
For modular boiler installations, Hamworthy Heating can
supply a unique boiler management control system
called the ‘Marshall HE’. This system comprises: a wall
mounted master control unit, which houses the main
interface processor and will control up to 8 stages. See
Figure B1.1 in Appendix B. For further information,
contact Hamworthy Heating for details.
9.0 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

remove any foreign matter that could affect correct
operation of the boiler. See technical specification
tables and check the max pressure value inside the
furnace.
a) Check the internal and external seal of the gas
supply system;
b) Regulate the gas flow according to the power
required by the boiler;
c) Check that the boiler is fired by the correct type of
fuel;
d) Check that the supply pressure is within the
values specified on the burner rating plate;
e) Check that the supply system is sized for the
maximum flow rate necessary for the boiler and
that it is provided with all control and safety
devices provided for by the regulations referred to
above;
f) Check that the boiler room vents are sized in
order to guarantee the air flow established by the
regulations referred to above and that they are in
any case sufficient to obtain perfect combustion.
In particular,
g) Check that the feeding line and the gas train
comply with the regulations in force;
h) Check that all the gas connections are sealed;
i) Check that the gas pipes are not used as earth
connections for electrical appliances.
If the boiler is not going to be used for some time,
close the fuel supply cock or cocks.
IMPORTANT:
burner draught tube and the boiler door are
suitably filled with thermo-insulating material (see
Fig. 10.6.1). The boiler is supplied with a piece of
ceramic rope, should this not suit the burner
used, use a braid of different diameter but same
material.
Note To comply with the requirements of the Gas Appliance Directive, only the combinations listed above may be utilised for natural gas applications.
Heat input values quoted above are based on Natural Gas (G20) with a net CV of 34.06 MJ/m
500001119/D
11.0 COMMISSIONING AND TESTING
11.1 Electrical Installation
Wiring MUST be checked by a suitably competent
person. An isolator correctly fused should be sited close
to the boiler. Refer to the burner instructions.
It should be noted that if a 3 phase supply is
required, it should be wired direct to the burner and
a separate 230V single phase supply wired to the
panel.
The boiler is supplied with a remote stop/start circuit for
time clock operation. Any other interlocks, i.e.
Pressurisation unit, BEM System should be wired in
series with the remote stop/start loop.
11.2 Gas Installation
For design see Section 5: GAS SUPPLY.
The whole of the gas installation including the meter
must be inspected and tested for soundness and
purged in accordance with the recommendations of
IGE/UP/1 or IGE/UP/1A as appropriate.
11.3 Water Circulation System
For design see Section 8: WATER SYSTEM.
The system should be thoroughly flushed out with cold
water without the pump in position. Ensure all the
valves are open.
With the pump fitted the system should be filled and air
locks cleared. Vent the radiators and check for leaks.
If the system is unvented the pressurisation unit should
not be utilised for the initial filling. This should be carried
out using a WRC approved double check valve and
temporary filling loop. In order to comply with local
Water Authority Regulations, this loop must be
disconnected when filling is complete. Water treatments
should not be fed through the pressurisation unit unless
permitted by the manufacturer. Check the expansion
vessel cushion pressure as detailed by the
manufacturer's Installer's Guide.
11.4 Commissioning The Boiler
Only competent persons registered for working on
non domestic gas appliances should attempt the
following: Before attempting to commission any
boiler, ensure that personnel involved are aware of
what action is about to be taken and begin by

Hamworthy Heating recommendations in such a way
that water flow rates will be in accordance with Figure
3.3 and Figure 3.4
5) The gas supply pipework is clear of any loose matter,
tested for soundness and purged to IGE/UP/1 or IGE/
UP/1A as appropriate.
11.4.1 Boiler Checks Prior To Lighting
BEFORE starting the boiler, check the following:
a. Check that fuel supply is turned off.
b. Check that electrical supply is isolated
c. Check that electrical installation conforms to
the requirements of these instructions, the IEE
Wiring Regulations for electrical installations,
and any other local regulations which apply.
d. Check boiler shell is undamaged from
transportation.
e. Check all thermostat bulbs are correctly
inserted in the appropriate pocket.
f. Check for water leaks and ensure that both
boiler and heating system is full of water and
properly vented.
g. Check that all drain cocks are closed, and that
all isolating valves in flow and return pipework
are open.
h. Check soundness of gas installation and that
pipework is purged of air, as detailed in I of E
Publications IGE/UP/1 or IGE/UP/1A
respectively. Check that gas meter is
operational and has been checked by the local
region of British Gas. Check that gas meter and
supply is of sufficient size to meet the input
rating of the burner / boiler. Refer to Figure
10.6.2.
i. Check that the burner output is correct for size
of boiler in question, referring to Figure 10.6.2
and the manufacturer’s technical information
supplied with the burner.
Note: Refer to the commissioning procedure in the
burner manufacturer’s literature, before firing
the boiler.
Always adjust the fuel supply upwards from a

place.
e. With firing head separate from burner adjust air
and gas settings, as specified in the
manufacturer’s technical supplied with the
burner.
f. Determine minimum burner gas pressure which
corresponds to required burner output (boiler
input), as follows: 1) From the manufacturer’s
technical information (supplied with the burner)
take burner pressure corresponding to required
burner output. 2) Add combustion resistance (in
mbar), given in Figure 3.3 and 3.4 for the boiler
in question, to obtain gas pressure value to be
measured at burner test point.
g. Open main isolating valve in gas supply to
boiler. Check for leaks throughout gas train and
pipework to burner.
h. Adjust gas supply governor to achieve at least
17.5 mbar (7.0 in wg) at inlet to boiler gas train.
Ensure that maximum pressure of gas train
governor is not exceeded. If a gas booster is to
be fitted, commission in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
i. Adjust start and main output gas rates as
detailed in the manufacturer’s technical
information supplied with the gas burner.
j. Check that overheat thermostat reset is set,
and that boiler control thermostat and control
system are set to call for heat.
k. Close main isolating valve in gas supply, switch
the boiler on and start the burner. The burner
control will first operate the fan to pre-purge the
boiler, then produce an ignition spark and
attempt to ignite the burner. The flame should
fail to ignite and the burner should go to
lockout.
l. Open main isolating valve in gas supply. If gas
train has separate pilot gas line, open pilot gas
isolating valve and close main gas isolating
valve. Restart boiler/burner. The burner control
will pre-purge, produce an ignition spark and
ignite pilot flame. The main flame should fail to
light, and burner will continue on ignition flame
only. The pilot gas rate can be checked and
adjusted as detailed in the manufacturer’s
technical information supplied with the gas
burner.
IF BURNER FAILS TO LIGHT, BOILER MUST BE
PRE-PURGED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
RESTART BURNER. IF BURNER REPEATEDLY
FAILS TO LIGHT, A FULL INVESTIGATION TO
FIND CAUSE SHOULD BE MADE.
m. Stop boiler/burner. Open main gas isolating
valve and restart burner. The burner will prepurge, ignite pilot flame and, after a short delay
of several seconds, the main flame will light.
Adjust the main gas rate as detailed in the
manufacturer’s technical information supplied
with the gas burner.
n. After allowing burner to reach stable firing
conditions for approximately 15 minutes, carry
out combustion gas check. Measure CO
, CO,
2
gas flue temperature, and circulating water
temperature rise across the boiler. The
readings obtained for the appropriate gas
should be as indicated in figure B1.2, Target
Appliance Readings, which should be taken at
both High and Low Settings.
o. After all other adjustments have been made,
set burner air pressure switch as instructed in
burner manufacturer’s technical information
supplied with burner.
p. Check gas pressure at burner head
corresponds with value determined from
burner manufacturer’s technical information as detailed in (f) above.
q. Check gas flow rate at meter. Ensure that all
other appliances served by the meter are
isolated whilst flow rate is checked.
r. Cycle boiler on and off several times to ensure
reliable burner ignition and boiler operation.
Check for gas, water and flue gas leakage.
Tighten all access, flue box and burner
mounting bolts and nuts.
s. Set boiler control thermostat to required
setting, and check operation of heating control
system.
t. Fully familiarise the user with the boiler
operating controls, the main component
functions and safety features.

It is impractical in this document to specify all relevant
information, but the following extracts from the above
references are emphasised since failure to comply with
these requirements will almost certainly result in an
unsatisfactory installation.
A1.2 Feed Water Quality
If the boiler feed water has a high degree of
hardness, it is recommended that the water be
treated to prevent precipitation of scale or sludge in
the boiler water passageways. Details of additives
can be obtained from any reliable manufacturer of
water treatment products or the local water
authority.
It should be noted however, that even if the boiler water
is of average hardness, not requiring treatment,
subsequent draining of the system for repair or constant
make-up water due to an undetected leak will cause
additional deposits and gradual build-up of scale. It is
essential therefore, that leaks are attended to promptly
and draining is kept to an absolute minimum.
It is recommended that the system be flushed out at
least twice before any water treatment is added. If
any doubt exists regarding the internal cleanliness
of an old system, consideration should be given to
the fitting of a coarse filter in the return pipework to
the boiler(s).
A1.3 Water Treatment
If the boiler is to be installed in an existing
system where there could be frequent losses
from the system or if the hardness of the water
is greater than 10 F, it will be necessary to use a
filter and a softener for system water and control
the pH above 8-9.
The most common reactions that occur in heating
systems are:
a. Scaling
Scale obstructs heat transfer between the
combustion gases and the water, causing an
abnormal increase in the temperature of the metal
and therefore reducing the life of the boiler.
Scale is found mostly at the points where the wall
temperature is highest and the best remedy, at
construction level, is to eliminate areas that
overheat.
Scale creates an insulating layer, which reduces the
thermal transfer of the boiler, affecting system
efficiency. This means that the heat produced by
burning the fuel is not fully transferred and is lost to
the flue. See Fig A1.3
HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD

ANSTY

b. Corrosion on the Water Side
Corrosion of the metal surfaces of the boiler on the
water-side is due to the passage of dissolved iron
through its ions (Fe+). In this process the presence
of dissolved gases and in particular of oxygen and
carbon dioxide is very important. Corrosion often
occurs with softened or de-mineralised water, which
has a more aggressive effect on iron (acid water
with Ph <7): in these cases, although the system is
protected from scaling, it is not protected against
corrosion and the water must be treated with
corrosion inhibitors.
A1.4 Adequate Water Flow
Care should be taken in the initial design and layout
having due regard for adequate water flow through the
boilers and the influence of the system controls.
It is recommended that the system design should
ensure a minimum return temperature of 50 °C.
If the temperature/flow rates of the application
cannot meet those given in Figures 3.3 & 3.4 it may
be necessary to incorporate mixing valves and
shunt pumps to ensure that the boiler will operate
satisfactorily. Figure 3.3 & 3.4 shows recommended
and minimum water flows required with the
associated pressure losses. The control system and
valves, where fitted, should be regulated to avoid
lower flows occurring.
A1.5 Time Clock Control
In order to avoid local overheating and progressive
calcium deposition at zero flow conditions where
boilers are operated from time clocks, provision
should be made for a 5 minute circulating pump
over-run after the last boiler has ceased firing.
NOTE! Time clocks should not interrupt live, neutral or
earth connections, see Section 9.0: ELECTRICAL SUPPLY for details. See Figures 10.4.2 for wiring
details.
A1.6 Minimum System Water Pressure
To comply with guidance note PM5 (Health and Safety
Executive), the minimum pressure requirements at the
boiler are given below as examples :-
1) Single installed boiler running at 82°C flow
temperature. Minimum head required is not less than 2
metres or 0.2 bar.
2) Single installed boiler running at 95°C flow
temperature. Minimum head required = 5.1 metres or
0.5 bar. See Section 8.0
3) Modular boiler installation running at 82°C flow
temperature and 11°C rise across system. Minimum
head required = 4.3 metres or 0.42 bar.
4) Modular boiler installation running at 82°C flow
temperature and 15°C rise across system. Minimum
head required = 9.4 metres or 0.92 bar. See Section
8.0 for Pressurised Water Systems.

APPENDIX B - OPTIONAL EXTRAS
System Temperatures
Each Ansty boiler is equipped with two return
connections to maximise the condensing
performance of the system. The normal
(higher) temperature connection is to suit
typical 60/80
fixed temperature fan coil units or calorifiers for
hot water (DHW) production. The condensing
(lower) temperature connection, typically
50/30OC, allows the low return water
temperatures to be maintained without the
dilution effect of the fixed temperature circuits.
The installation of Ansty condensing boilers in
commercial heating and hot water systems
offers a wide choice of design options and
applications. The systems shown here are
typical and should be considered for general
guidance only.
Example 1
Typical boiler installation comprising constant
temperature domestic hot water and variable
temperature radiator circuits. Flow rate
returning from the calorifier to the high
temperature return should equate to the boiler
minimum flow rate. Flow rate returning from the
compensated radiator circuit may be reduced
to zero due to the water mass of the boiler.
Example 2
Typical boiler installation comprising constant
temperature air handling units and variable
temperature radiator circuits. Flow rate
returning from the A.H.U. circuit to the high
temperature return should equate to the boiler
minimum flow rate. Flow rate returning from the
compensated radiator circuit may be reduced
to zero due to the water mass of the boiler.
Example 3
Typical boiler installation comprising variable
temperature underfloor heating and variable
radiator circuits. Flow rate returning from the
compensated radiator circuit and underfloor
heating circuit may be zero due to the water
mass of the boiler. The high temperature return
connections need to be blanked off.
Note: Due to its thermal mass, the Ansty boiler
may fire with zero flow conditions. The boiler
will switch off its temperature controls until
either the boilers internal temperature drops or
return water re-commences flow to the boiler.
