1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Ensbury LT boiler range consists of 14
models, gas, oil or dual fuel fired, welded carbon
steel boilers with outputs ranging from 70kW to
580kW. Refer to Technical Data in Appendix A for
details on Natural gas, Propane and Oil firing.
For applications firing blended Bio Fuel (RME or
FAME), please refer to Hamworthy Heating Ltd for
confirmation and guidance on the fuel specification.
Ensbury LT boilers are three pass, smoke tube
boilers with combustion chamber and flue way using
Low-Nox technology. The geometry of the
combustion chamber and it’s relatively low volume,
coupled with a patented flame escape system,
allows for lower emission values and safe operation.
The third pass is equipped with turbulators. Their
turbulent action further increases the heat exchange
and allows the system to work at low combustion
gas temperatures, optimising efficiencies.
Ensbury LT boilers are suitable for minimum return
temperatures down to 15°C and as a result, are
suitable for direct connection to mixed temperature
heating systems, delivering a minimum flow
temperature of 60°C (50°C for oil firing) with no
minimum flow rate requirements.
Ensbury LT 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. For hot water production
they can be used in conjunction with calorifiers or
indirect hot water cylinders.

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 running
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.
• Stop boiler/burner. Open main gas isolating valve and restart burner. The burner will pre-purge, 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.
• After allowing burner to reach stable firing conditions for approximately 15 minutes, carry out combustion
gas check.
Measure CO2, CO, flue gas temperature, and circulating water temperature rise across the boiler. The
readings obtained for the appropriate gas should be as indicated in Figure B.7, target appliance readings.
Readings should be taken at both High and Low settings. A switch is provided on the burner to hold the
burner on low fire.
• After all other adjustments have been made, set burner air pressure switch as instructed in manufacturer's
technical information supplied with burner.
• Check gas pressure at burner head corresponds with value determined from burner manufacturer's
technical information - as detailed in (f) above.
• Check gas flow rate at meter. Ensure that all other appliances served by the meter are isolated whilst flow
rate is checked.
• 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.
• Set boiler control thermostats to required setting, and check operation of heating control system.
• Fully familiarise the user with the boiler operating controls, the main component functions and the safety
features.
THESE INSTALLATION AND SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE LEFT WITH THE USER OF THE
BOILER FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
7.4 External Controls
The external controls used in typical boiler installations, for both vented and unvented systems, are shown in
Figure 3.3. If different systems or controls are to be used and there are any doubts as to the suitability, contact
Hamworthy Heating Technical Department for advice.
7.5 Installation Noise
In order to avoid the possibility of noise from the installation, care should be taken to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
If acoustic insulation is added to the boiler, care must be taken not to impede combustion or ventilation air flow. If in doubt
contact the manufacturer.
7.6 User Instructions
When the above is complete, the boiler owner or their representative should be made aware of the lighting and operating
instructions. A practical demonstration should be given describing each functional step. This Installer's Guide and burner
Operating Instructions and booster instructions (where fitted) should then be handed over and kept in a safe place for
easy reference.

8.0 CONTROLS AND OPERATION
8.1 Temperatures
An adjustable control thermostat is supplied with each
boiler and should be set to operate within the range 3590°C for standard applications.
For high / low applications a second control thermostat
is supplied that should be set around 5°C lower than the
main control thermostat. This will enable the burner to
switch to a lower firing rate as the water temperature
approaches the set point.
A temperature limiter, (hand reset limit thermostat) is
also fitted to the boiler and must be set at 100°C.
If a modulating burner is fitted, an additional
temperature sensor must be fitted in the flow pipework
and wired back to the modulating control on the burner,
following the manufacturer’s instructions. In this case,
the high / low thermostat is superfluous and the
appropriate 4 pin plug and flying lead can be
disconnected from the boiler control panel. The
thermostat sensor can be withdrawn from the pocket in
the boiler flow pipe and the modulating temperature
sensor can be inserted in the pocket. The 7 pin plug
must remain connected in an unmodified condition in
order to ensure that the temperature limiter remains in
circuit. Set the boiler control thermostat to maximum.
The boiler temperature control is carried out directly by
the modulating controller on the burner to the
temperature set point adjusted within the controller.
NOTE:- The minimum difference between control
thermostat and temperature limiter
less than 10°C.
MUST NEVER be
Where the system is operating on a low temperature
circuit care should be taken to ensure that the flow
temperature set point does not fall below 60°C for gas
or 50°C for oil.
8.2 Water Flow Controls
Due to the design of the Ensbury LT boiler, it is not
necessary to maintain a minimum flow through the
boiler, as the water content and thermal mass of the
boiler allow for the control of residual heat, without the
operation of the high limit thermostat. This allows for
more flexibility and tolerance in heating system design
and eliminates the requirement for primary circuit
pumps or boiler shunt pumps, hence reducing energy
consumption.
However correctly sized circulating pumps and valves
must be used in the system to provide the necessary
performance.
8.3 Frost Protection
Consideration should be given to fitting a frost
thermostat set at approximately 4°C.
8.4 Unvented Systems
See Figure E.3 for typical layout of a Unvented
(Pressurised) Hot Water System.
For system design refer to
BS 7074-2.
In order to correctly size a pressurisation unit for any
heating system certain parameters are required :-
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 pressurisation 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 EN ISO 4126-1, for information.
See also BS 6880-1, for design considerations.
8.5 Multiple Boiler Control Schemes
For multiple 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 that will control up to 8 stages from
a flow temperature sensor. Outside and room
temperature sensors are optional. For further
information, contact Hamworthy Heating for details.
8.6 Hours Run Meters
All Ensbury LT boilers are fitted as standard with
hours run meters, to enable the duty at both low and
high fire to be monitored. If the boiler is set up for
Modulation, both counters will register the same
cyclic duty.
8.7 Modulating Burners
The modulating burners from Riello are available as
standard temperature control or optional 0-10v
signal control.
IIMPORTANT; the specification must be identified
prior to delivery.
The temperature control version comes with a
dedicated PT100 probe for insertion into the boiler
flow pipe plus a bolt on control module, to influence
the modulation rate of the burner as it approaches
the desired set-point. To achieve this, the boiler
control panel thermostats must be set to maximum.
The 0-10v signal version comes with a plug in
module to convert a 0-10vdc control signal (input) to
vary the position of the air damper servo motor and
corresponding gas rate.

APPENDIX C - FLUE DATA
C 1 General Requirments
Detailed recommendations for flue systems are given in
BS 6644, IGE/UP/10, "Flues for Commercial and Indus-
trial Gas-Fired Boilers and Air Heaters."
The following notes are intended to give general guidance only.
The flue passages within the Ensbury LT 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.
Ensbury LT boilers are suitable for installation in a
balanced compartment in accordance with the requirements of
BS 6644. Consult Hamworthy Heat-
ing Technical Department for help or assistance if in
doubt.
C.2 Design 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 A1, A2 & A3
C.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.
C.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.
C.5 Disconnection
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 sup-
porting and not present a risk to people in or around the
building.
See
Section 13: SERVICING for further information.
C.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.
C.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.
C.8 Flue 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.
flue
MUST be self supporting. Check that the flue and
NOTE! The
chimney are clear from any obstruction.
C.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.

APPENDIX D - VENTILATION
D1.1 Air Supply
Detailed recommendations for air supply are given in BS 6644 and BS5440 Pt 2. 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.
D1.2 Air Supply by Natural Ventilation - Open Flue applications
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 the 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.
Boiler house ventilation
Low level (inlet) - 4cm² per kW of total rated input (Net)
High level (output) - 2cm² per kW of total rated input (Net)
Compartment ventilation
Where the boiler is to be installed in a compartment, permanent high and low level ventilation is required which
must communicate direct to outside, for cooling purposes.
Low level (inlet) - 10cm² per kW of total rated input (Net)
High level (output) - 5cm² per kW of total rated input (Net)
D1.3. Air Supply by Mechanical Ventilation
Air supplied to the boiler room by Mechanical means should be as follows:
1) Mechanical ventilation must be interlocked with the boilers to prevent operation in
the event of ventilation fan failure
2) Mechanical inlet and mechanical extract can be utilised providing the design
extraction rate does not exceed one third of the design inlet rate.
3) Mechanical extract ventilation with natural inlet ventilation
MUST NOT be used.
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 fans.
D 1.4. Boiler House Temperatures
The air supplied for boiler house ventilation shall be such that the maximum temperatures within the boiler house
shall be as follows:
At floor level (or 100mm above floor level) = 25°C.
At mid-level (1.5m above floor level) = 32°C.
At ceiling level (or 100mm below ceiling level) = 40°C.
D 1.5. General Requirements
The air supply should be free from contamination
such as building dust and insulation fibres from
lagging. To avoid unnecessary cleaning and
servicing of the boiler modules, the boilers should
not be fired whilst building work is being undertaken.
High and low level ventilation grilles shall be
positioned as high and as low as practicably
possible. Low level grilles should be located within 1
metre of the floor for Natural Gas and within 250mm
of the floor for LPG. High level grilles should be
positioned within 15% of the boiler room height from
the ceiling. High and low level grilles shall
communicate with the same room or space where
compartment ventilation is used. Where grilles
communicate directly with outside air, they shall be
positioned on the same wall.

The calculated extract flow rate is the actual inlet
flow rate minus the appropriate figure in the table
above.
Recommendations for the water circulation system
are given in
BS 6644 for gas fired boilers but the
same principals can be used for those using fuel oil.
The following notes are of particular importance:-
E1.1 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.
E1.2 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.
E1.3 Each boiler has flanged flow and return
connections located on the rear section of the boiler.
E1.4 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 boiler.
E1.5 E1.5 A coarse filter and dirt separator MUST
be fitted in the return to both primary and secondary
heat exchangers
E.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 multiple installation, each bank of boilers,
must be fitted with a pressure relief valve to
BSEN-
ISO 4126-1 and sized as shown in BS 6644.
Each Ensbury LT has a tapping on the flow pipe for
the fitting of a safety valve to the boiler.
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.
E.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 is
shown in figure E.2.
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.
7.4 Altitude Gauge (Water Pressure Gauge)
Every boiler or group of boilers should be provided
with a gauge complete with isolating valve. See
Figure E.3 for typical position.
7.5 Thermometer
A thermometer complete with pocket should be
fitted in the pipework to indicate water flow
temperature. See Figure E.3 for typical position.
7.6 Drain Valves
Each boiler should have a drain valve fitted (not

Rc½ connection is provided for a drain valve on the
flanged return connection.
The heating system in total should have drain valves
as recommended by
BS 6644 which permit the
draining of the whole system, including the boiler
and any hot water storage vessel. See Figure 3.3 for
recommended positions.

Figure E.5. Boiler Installation with Constant and Variable Temperature Heating Circuits
With Domestic Hot Water
Compensation of the variable temperature heating circuit must use an external mixing control.
Boiler operating temperatures should be set to meet the demands of the highest temperature circuit, but not set
below the minimum boiler flow temperature.
Where all circuits are required to operate below the minimum boiler flow temperature, then all circuits should incorporate mixing controls, to lower the temperature from the boiler before distribution to the circuit.
Due to the thermal mass and water content of the boiler body, the temperature of the heating circuit return can be
low. For minimum temperature details refer to figure E1
