1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 A competent person holding ‘GAS SAFE’

registration or equivalent must install this boiler. All installations MUST conform to the relevant Gas Safety and Building Regulations. Health & Safety requirements must also be taken into account when installing any equipment. Failure to comply with the above may lead to prosecution.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instructions concerning cleaning, maintenance and use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

1.2 These instructions are for Group H Natural Gas (2nd Family) only. The information relating to Natural Gas firing is to be found in Appendix ‘A’. Boilers MUST NOT use gas other than that for which they were designed and made.

1.3 The Purewell VariHeat is a fully modulating, pre- mix condensing, gas fired boiler manufactured from horizontal cast iron heat exchanger sections, connected to an economiser located in the base of the boiler. The boiler is floor mounted and is intended for the heating of Commercial and Industrial premises. It may also be used to supply hot water for these premises via an indirect cylinder.

1.3.1 Each boiler module has a dedicated Siemens LMU microprocessor based boiler management system, controlling and monitoring all safety and functional aspects of the boiler performance and it’s integration with external system controls.

1.3.2 The Purewell VariHeat boiler is delivered to site fully assembled fitted with it’s casing and controls. Care should be taken when manoeuvring the boiler into position to avoid damage.

1.3.3 Each of the boiler models is designed for direct connection to a flue system. The flue system must be suitable for pressurised wet operation. The flue outlets from more than one unit may be connected to a single chimney. No draught diverter is fitted to the boiler nor is a fixed diverter required in the flue system. However a draught stabiliser is recommended for some installations—see Appendix ‘C’ (Page 48).

1.3.4 The Purewell VariHeat has a low water content and minimum flow rates MUST be maintained above the recommended levels shown in Appendix ‘E’ (Page 52)

1.4 If the boiler is to be connected to an un-vented (pressurised) heating system, care must be taken to ensure all extra safety requirements are met and that the relevant interlocks will shut down the boiler(s)

should a high or low pressure fault occur. The pressurisation unit must also incorporate a low

level water switch, which protects the water pumps, and will directly or indirectly shut down the boiler plant should a low water condition occur

Consideration should also be given to the maximum working pressure of the boiler as per Appendix ‘E’. Consult Hamworthy Heating Technical Department for help or assistance if in doubt.

1.5 The Purewell VariHeat boiler is not suitable for direct connection to domestic hot water supplies or gravity fed heating systems.

1.6 The Purewell VariHeat boiler can be installed with either reverse return water flow layout or with single pipe header layout (non HHL supply). See Appendix E for typical schematic layout.

1.7 It is good practice in all heating installations to use some form of water treatment to reduce formation of lime scale and black iron oxide sludge. The high efficiencies produced by the Purewell VariHeat Boiler can easily be reduced by lime scale formation. If a pressurisation unit is used, it is prudent to include an hours run meter to give an indication of pump running time and hence raw water make-up. Any leaks should be attended to as soon as possible to avoid scale build up within the boiler's waterways.

1.8 Each Purewell Variheat module is supplied with volt free contact outputs for Normal Run, Boiler lock-out from a General Fault, 0~10v analogue control input. Also provided are connections for BMS, Shunt Pump & Remote On/Off control as well as connections to a boiler lock circuit (causing the boiler to go to standby).

1.9 Options

1.9.1 Optional reverse return header kits are

available in 2, 3 & 4 boiler configuration covering models 70c , 95c, 110c, 140c & 180c. These kits incorporate all necessary valves and interconnecting pipework. Refer to individual kit instructions for details.

1.9.2 Controls peripherals The LMU boiler management system has the potential to accept the following control options:

1.9.3 External sensor Allows direct weather compensation on an individual boiler. Not to be used for multiple boiler systems.

1.9.4 Clip in module (LPB Bus) Allows communication with multiple boilers under the control of a Merley cascade control.

1.9.5 Merley cascade control Allows cascade management of up to 12 boilers, and interface with a BMS system.

1.9.6 The QAA73.210 is a digital multi-functional room unit for one or 2 heating circuits and d.h.w. control.

4.3 Flues

 Flue termination, routing and construction must comply with the requirements of the

Clean Air Act 1993—Chimney Memorandum, BS 6644 BS 5440 and IGE/UP/10.

 Any flue must be self supporting and separable from the boiler for servicing

requirements.

 The maximum number of modules firing into a common chimney is 9. For larger

installations refer to HHL Technical.

 Due to the low flue gas temperature, 50°C (condensing) - 75°C (non-condensing),

condensation will occur in the flue, flue materials must be non-corrosive and utilise fully sealing joints.

 Flue construction is recommended of a twin wall, insulated type to maintain buoyancy

within the flue.

 Adequate facilities must be provided for draining the flue condensation.

 Horizontal flue runs must be kept as short as possible and be inclined at minimum 2°

towards the termination.

 The flue system must be designed acknowledging that there may be a positive pressure

generated by the boiler combustion fan. Refer to Appendix C.

 The flue system must be designed to limit the max. suction (cold) to 30Pa negative,

measured at the connection to the boiler. If the suction is greater than 30Pa, refer to HHL Technical.

 This condition must then be checked hot and with all boilers firing, the max.

pressure at the connection to the boiler should be 100Pa positive.

In the event that the flue system when hot does generate a suction, the max. suction is 100Pa.

 Any stabiliser fitted must be in or close to the vertical chimney.

 Fan dilution - the design must provide for the use of balancing and trim dampers,

and their location and operation must be such that the constraints detailed above can be met. Care must be taken to ensure that the fan performance is matched to deliver the appropriate dilution, whilst ensuring that the excessive suction is not applied to the boilers. If in doubt, refer to HHL Technical.

 Fan assist - the use of fan assist must only be a last resort, as the boilers have

sufficient fan performance to drive the system. If in doubt, refer to HHL Technical.

 Connecting flue systems may be smaller in internal diameter than the boiler

connection and must be designed to deliver the necessary condition at the connection to the boiler. Refer to Hamworthy Heating Technical dept. for assistance.

7.2 Checks Prior to lighting the boiler

NOTE! Refer to Appendix A for Natural Gas maximum gas inlet pressure for norm al operation. The following checks must be made prior to lighting the boiler.

1) Ensure that the gas supply is connected but turned to the "off" position. Any unions or fittings are correctly tightened, test points are closed, and that the ignition and probe leads are connected correctly.

2) Ensure the electrical mains supply is correctly connected but the boiler isolator(s) are switched off. Remove the plastic covers by turning the fixing screws anti-clockwise a 1/4 of a turn. Check all wiring loom connections such as fan and gas valve, are correct and secure. Test the operation of the safety temperature limiter by removing the clip & bulb from the pocket in the front of the heat exchanger, and carefully apply a heat source to the bulb. The limit stat reset button should lift & protrude through the hole in the controls fascia. To reset, firmly press the button through the access hole in the controls fascia using a terminal screwdriver. If satisfactory, refit the bulb in the pocket and secure with the clip. Ensure that all limiter bulbs /sensors are fully inserted into the pockets. The flow and return temperature sensors are located at the rear of the boiler in the flow and return pipes.

3) Check setting of both the safety temperature limiter and control thermostat. The safety temperature limiter is set at 95°C. The Safety Temperature limiter, is to be found on the rear of the display fascia bracket. (See figure 8.1.2) To remove the safety temperature limiter the plastic display cover of the boiler must be removed by turning the four 1/4 turn screws visible on the outside of the moulding anti-clockwise a 1/4 turn. Then unscrew the screws securing the thermostat from its mounting plate found on the rear of the bridging piece of the metal control bracket.

The control thermostat is factory set to a flow temperature of 80°C and must be re-set to suit the application. Use button (4) on the fascia as detailed in section 8.1.1- Controls Operation.

4) Before ignition of the boiler it must be ensured that all parts of the appliance are clean and free from debris. Special attention should be paid to ensure that the air inlet to the fan/venturi is clean and unobstructed.

Figure 7.2.1 Location Gas Isolating Valve/Safety Temperature Limiter

Air Inlet

Position Of Safety Temperature Limiter Reset

5) Ensure the heating system circulation / shunt pump is operational and that the pipework is free of air.

6) To ensure correct ignition of the boiler it is recommended to check the resistance of the hot surface igniter. This should be checked cold, using a suitable ohmmeter, by disconnecting the igniter from the control panel cable and measuring the resistance across the pins of the 2 way connector. The reading should be

approximately 70 to 110 ohms.

7.3.1.1 Lighting the boiler

1) Refer to figure 8.1 for an overview of the control panel & what the push buttons do.

2) Ensure that both gas & electrical supplies are isolated (off) from the boiler.

3) Disconnect the electrical plug to the gas valve.

4) Turn on the gas isolating valve (See fig 7.2.1) and boiler electrical supply. The boiler will display the screen of Fig 7.3.1.

Note: A gas supply press ure above 12.5 mbar w ill rem ove the Low Gas Pressure block on operation (indicated by the flashing ’E132’) and in place of this code the present time will be displayed.

The difference between a ‘block ‘ & ‘lockout’ is that a block on operation occurs with a non safety critical fault condition. The boiler then automatically restarts on removal of the fault. A ‘lockout’ requires the boiler to be manually reset after a safety critical fault has been resolved.

Fig 7.3.1 - Boiler Display With Low Inlet Gas Pressure Error

5) Check and adjust if necessary the low gas inlet pressure switch located on the side of the boiler gas valve.

6) Press the ‘Mode’ button to select desired operation. The boiler will then go through the start-up sequence provided that the remote on/off contact is made and or the BMS system is in demand.

7) Check that the Hot Surface Igniter begins to glow, by looking inside the boiler through the oval viewing window within the recess at the top right hand side of the boiler. (At this point , no gas is present in the boiler so no ignition occurs).

Fig 7.3.2 - Low Gas Inlet Pressure Switch

Fig 7.3.3 - Boiler Display With Low Inlet Gas Pressure

10) Turn on the gas and electrical supplies to the boiler & press the Reset button to remove the ‘lock -out’ condition. The boiler will commence the ignition sequence. This time when the gas valve is energised, the gas will light.

8) On failure to sense presence of a flame the boiler will display a flashing Error code of 133, before making a second ignition attempt. The boiler will then go to lockout. The boiler will display the screen of Fig 7.3.3.

9) Carefully reconnect the electrical plug to the gas valve and secure with the appropriate screw(s).

 At the end of the 5 second ignition proving period, the hot surface

igniter will be switched off and the fascia display will show a flame symbol to the left hand side of the temperature displayed. See Fig 7.3.4

 After a period of 15 seconds the fan will alter speed and the burner

modulation will be set according to the heat load.  If after the 10 second flame proving period the flame signal is below 3µA the boiler will shut down and attempt one restart. If unsuccessful the boiler will display an error code of E128.

Fig 7.3.4 - Display For Boiler Ignition

10) Check the flame ionisation signal generated whilst the boiler is firing. This can be viewed directly from the display by accessing information level C1. The value is set to read dc μA. Refer to section 8.2 - Controls

Operation.

8.3 - Functions

8.3.1 Frost Protection

Note: - to access this function, the circulating pump must be wired to the LMU through a suitable contactor. There are two levels of frost protection available dependent on the sensor options used. 1st stage - When the boiler water temperature is below 5°C, the burner and the heating pump are switched on.

When the temperature increases and exceeds 15°C, the burner stops and the pump continues for the duration of the pump overrun.

2nd stage - This additional function uses the outside air temperature (if a sensor has not been fitted, the function is blocked) and provides three levels of activation.

 If the outside temperature is less than or equal to –5°C, the pump operates continuously  If the outside temperature is between –4 & 1.5°C, the pump operates for 10 minutes every 6 hours.  If the outside temperature is greater than 1.5°C, the pump is switched off.

Note:- any demand for dhw is given priority. Should protection be required for the building fabric, then a QAA73 programmable room sensor must be used to

maintain the internal building temperature.

8.3.2 Anti Legionella

To prevent the development of pathogenic bacteria in the domestic hot water tank during prolonged shut downs or low storage temperatures, the dhw must be heated once a week to a temperature greater than 60°C.

The anti legionella function heats the dhw once a week on Monday, after the first load, to 65°C.

8.3.3 Pump overrun

When the heating mode ends, the heating circuit pump remains on for a period (depending on the settings used QAA73: 544).

In dhw systems, when the dhw heating period ends, the heating pump remains on until the return temperature drops below 70°C. During this period, the dhw selector valve (if fitted) is in the open position.

8.3.4 Pump or selector valve kick If either the heating circuit pump or dhw selector valve have not been activated for more than 24hours, then dur-

ing an off period the pump or valve is activated for 5 seconds.

8.3.5 Boiler overheat protection

The boiler flow sensor in combination with the return sensor, provide overheat protection as follows:

 If the first level temperature is exceeded, a fault code is displayed.  If the second level temperature is exceeded, an alarm code is displayed and the boiler will switch off. The

boiler must be reset to restart.

To restart the boiler, the temperature must fall, accordingly the fan and pump will continue to operate until the boiler heat exchanger temperature drops.

Additionally, should the ∆T across the boiler heat exchanger exceed 25°C, the burner will reduce output to minimum rate. Should the ∆T exceed 30°C, the burner will shutdown.

8.3.6 Anti-cycling

Dependent on the installation and the minimum firing rate of the boiler, the control monitors the heating temperature curve and will hold off a boiler from firing and thus reduce the number of operations.

8.3.7 Automatic summer / winter switching

Note: - This function is only available when an outside sensor is fitted. The automatic summer/ winter switching function enables the summer mode to be switched to winter mode (vice

versa) throughout the year, without the need for manual intervention. The heating is shut down when the average outside temperature measured over the preceding 24hours is greater

than 1°C above the set point (20°C). The heating is automatically started up again when the average outside temperature measured over the preced-

ing 24hours is less than 1°C below the lower limit of the hysteresis threshold of the set point (18°C). Note: - The switch over setting is set to 19°C and can only be changed using the QAA73 room sensor. The automatic mode must obviously be activated on the boiler as well as on the QAA73, for the function to oper-

ate. The function is automatically activated by a default setting in the QAA73.

8.3.8 - Start-up / initialisation

On startup after power-On, or after a lockout reset, the setpoints will be initialized. These setpoints apply until a first adjustment is made (e.g. via the display or PC parameterization): After a readjustment, these values will be overwritten with the new value and permanently stored in the LMU. When a new startup is made, or after power-On, the previous settings will be stored in the LMU. Also, the software version number of the operator module and that of the connected type of LMU... will be deliv-

ered to the display.

8.3.9 - BMS 0~10v DC control of LMU Before programming changes are made, ensure the boiler is set to standby mode.

The following parameters need to be changed on the boiler LMU when a BMS 0-10 V signal is being used to control the boiler modules directly. All parameters can be changed using the keypad on the boiler display panel or via the computer link using the Siemens software.

Press and hold both up and down arrow keys for at least five seconds to enter advanced parameter list H90 displayed top right of HMI screen. Use either up or down arrow key to scroll through the parameter list and stop at H618 - Default value is 0

Two options for control are available :

Option 1 (preferred option for multiple boilers on a modulating 0-10V signal controlling the load)

To enable 0-10v control over the boiler power range, change the setting by using the + or – key and set value to

5. Press mode button to store change and return to home screen.

Option 2 (if the 0-10V signal is only being used to enable the boilers and is not modulating)

To enable 0-10v control over the boiler temperature set point, change the setting by using the + or – key and set value to 4. Press mode button to store change and return to home screen Press and hold both up and down arrow keys for at least five seconds to enter advanced parameter list H90 displayed top right of HMI screen. Use either up or down arrow key to scroll through the parameter list and stop at H622 - Default value is 80 Change this value to match the required flow temperature set point at maximum (10v) e.g. 80 = 80°C max set point. Press mode button to store change and return to home screen 0-10v signal wiring can now be connected to connections 15 and 16 of the terminal rail to control the boiler.

Boiler PC Req’d setting Function 618 526 4 0–10 V - temperature 618 526 5 0–10 V - load (preferred option for modulating load) 622 528 As req’d (80°C) Max temp = 10 V 623 529 As req’d (20%) Min % load = 20 % It may be necessary, depending on the operating temperature required, to raise the maximum operating temperature possible from the individual boiler modules. As standard the boiler modules leave the factory with a maximum operating temperature of 85°C. Where a higher operating temperature is required the following parameter change must be made. 505 181 As req’d (90°C) Max operating temp.

8.4 - Access to LMU Fault Log

The LMU control retains historical fault information of the last 6 faults, as read only via the Engineer level access. The current fault relates to the actual lockout at the time of the visit. Once reset, the current fault becomes the 1st fault and the remaining history is shifted back to the 5th fault, losing the previous 5th fault history.

The Albatros code is the ‘E’ display code supported by the internal code. See figure 8.2.9

9.0 FAULT FINDING

The Purewell VariHeat boiler is equipped with full self diagnostic fault indication, which is displayed on the screen

- refer to section 8.2.1 - Controls Operation.

Should a fault occur which cannot be reset, or a fault repeatedly occurs, contact Hamworthy Heating for assistance. Do not continue to operate or use the boiler as this may cause damage to the boiler or controls.

9.1 Safety Features Summary

9.1.1 Safety Temperature Limiter

1 The electronic control thermostat has several safety levels built in such that a controlled shutdown should occur before the limit thermostat is activated. Should these safety levels be overridden (say external pump overrun failure after shutdown) the temperature limit thermostat will trip initiating a boiler shutdown, preventing the boiler from firing. Should the control thermostat fail, causing an overheat condition, the safety temperature limiter will trip thus creating an immediate shutdown regardless of firing mode. An overheat message on the controls fascia will indicate that this condition has occurred. The limiter thermostat is reset by depressing the reset pin protruding through the hole in the centre of the controls fascia. If, after pushing the pin in, the display screen does not reset and the boiler does not light up, it could be that the boiler is still too hot, i.e. the control thermostat has not re-set. An investigation should be carried out to ascertain the reason for the overheating. An obvious reason would be too low a water flow rate through the boiler.

9.1.2 Flame Probe

The flame is under constant supervision by the burner logic controller through use of a flame probe. This is accomplished by measuring the flame's ability to rectify an AC current. If the flame diminishes for whatever reason and the rectified current drops below the controllers minimum (3µA DC), the controller will induce a non-volatile lockout which will require a manual re-set (‘on/off button situated on the controls fascia) to re-start the control sequence. .

9.2 Fault Finding Procedures

General error messages are detailed in section 8 to assist with fault finding. If the boiler still cannot be operated satisfactorily after following the instructions, consult your Hamworthy Heating for assistance.

9.3 Possible Causes of Boiler Lockout

1) Ignition failure due to faulty igniter.

2) Ignition failure due to faulty gas valve.

3) Ignition failure due to No or low gas supply pressure.

4) No ignition due to faulty controller.

5) Ignition failure due to faulty flame probe or sensing circuit.

6) High temperature

7) Unnecessary pressing of reset when boiler is running

Should a fault code appear which cannot be reset, or a fault code repeatedly occurs,

contact Hamworthy Heating for assistance. Do not continue to operate or use the boiler

as this may cause damage to the controls.

10.0 SERVICING

A competent person registered for working on non domestic gas appliances should check and ensure that the flue, its support and terminal, the ventilation to the boiler house, safety valve, condensate trap, drain, water filter if fitted, pressure gauge etc., are in a serviceable and working condition, and still comply with the relevant standards and codes of practice - see Section 4 & Appendices

10.1 Regular servicing is recommended, preferably by a Hamworthy appointed person, and at least annually,

to ensure trouble free operation. For the Purewell VariHeat, Hamworthy would recommend an additional 6 monthly examination following commissioning, acknowledging site conditions and running hours. Although cleaning of flueways may not be necessary on a yearly basis inspection of the flueways must be undertaken annually and it is important that all controls and safety features are checked for correct operation. NOTE! Measuring flue gas CO2 and gas temperatures will give an indication of the state of the boiler flueways and waterways. Results should be compared with previously measured values to establish possible loss of efficiency.

Should remedial work be carried out on a boiler within a bank of boilers, then the non-firing module must be

electrically isolated so as to prevent accidental operation., in the event that the installation is required for ongoing heating requirements.

10.2 The procedures detailed relate to a single boiler and must be carried out on all boilers within a bank. Before

servicing the boiler, the following procedure must be carried out: -

WARNING: Isolate the electrical supply and turn off the gas isolating valve to the boiler being serviced.

1) To remove the front casing door, remove the four 1/4 turn screws securing the fascia moulding. Pivot the fascia moulding about it’s bottom edge to 45 degrees and lift off. Store in a safe place to avoid damage. Remove the two 1/4 turn screws (rotate clockwise a 1/4 turn) securing the front casing door and lift off from the front brace. Remove the two 1/4 turn screws fixing the top panel and slide the panel in the direction of the rear of the boiler to disengage from the securing pins on the back panel.

2) Turn off gas service cock.

3) Disconnect the gas valve plug assembly from the gas valve & the low gas pressure switch plug. Disconnect the gas valve inlet flange from the gas valve. Disconnect the 3 & 5 way electrical plugs from the fan body.

4) Disconnect igniter and probe leads. Disconnect the fan/gas valve assembly from the burner body by removing the 4 M8 nuts securing the transition duct to the burner. Carefully place the fan/gas valve to one side.

5) Loosen the 4 - M8 nuts securing the burner clamping flange to the tie rods and carefully remove the clamp. The burner assembly can be removed by withdrawing upwards (care is required when removing the burner as the Hot Surface Igniter element is fragile). Check condit ion of igniter assembly and prob e for damage. Clean as required. Check burner surface and clean using a soft brush if required (if possible use compressed air to blow out the dust inside the burner. A damaged burner must be replaced.

6) Examine the non return valve located in the fan/burner duct for free operation and integrity of the foam seal. Replace if necessary.

7) The procedure to disconnect the fan from the boiler so the fan impellor can be inspected & cleaned using a soft brush & compressed air is as follows.

I) For model PV70c/95c/110c (Refer to Figures 11.2.& 11.3 for parts assembled between the gas valve & fan ) A) Disconnect the silicon tube attached to the gas valve. B) Disconnect the gas valve from the air box lid by removing the screws in the square flange of the lid. C) Remove the screws securing the air-box from it’s lid. D) Unscrew the screws fixing the venturi to the metal plate molded in the airbox. E) Remove the screws behind the venturi fixing the airbox to the fan.

II) For Models PV140c/180c (Refer To Figure 11.4 For Fan/Gas Valve Assembly) remove the screws attaching the metal bracket & plastic venturi to the fan. A) Remove the screws securing the gas valve to the corrugated gas supply pipe. B) The subassembly of gas valve, metal bracket & plastic venturi can be carefully removed for access to the fan.

10.3 The boiler flueways can now be cleaned as follows:-

1) Remove the inspection panel secured to the front base of the boiler must be removed.

2) Using a suitable brush, clean the vertical fins on the castings below the burner.

3) Using a torch, inspect the fin matrix of the secondary heat exchanger situated below the cast iron sections and clean using compressed air or a water hose. Any debris dislodged can be removed from the sump through the inspection panel.

4) Re-assemble the boiler in the reverse order to that shown above. Ensure a new seal is fitted to the top casting / burner joint to maintain a gas tight seal, (see spares list). Ensure that a new seal is fitted to the inspection panel. The boiler’s operation may be affected if these seals are do not form a gas tight joint.

5) Re-assemble the burner and clamp plate to the top casting and secure using the M8 nuts and tie rods, ensuring that the joint is sound. Assemble the gas valve, fan, transition duct using new gaskets. Refit the gas inlet flange to the gas valve using a new ‘O’ ring. Check all gas connections are tightened securely before opening the gas service cock. Re-connect electrical connections. Switch on the electricity supply and re -light the boiler following the procedure detailed in section 7.3.

6) Take exhaust gas readings and compare with section 7.4. Ensure no gas leaks are evident from the gas connections, refer to section 7.1 for procedure. Check thermostat settings and adjust if required.

7) Re-fit casing panels and tidy floor around boiler as necessary.

C1.0 FLUE SYSTEM

1. Detailed recommendations for flue systems are given in BS 6644, and IGE/UP/10. All flue discharges for plant exceeding 135kW net input must comply with the third edition of the 1956 Clean Air Act Chimney Memorandum.

86 117 137 180 232

WARNING: THE FLUE DISCHARGE FROM A VARIHEAT BOILER WILL GENERATE A

PLUME AT THE TERMINAL EXIT. THIS MUST BE CONSIDERED WITH REGARD TO

TERMINAL LOCATION AND ADJACENT BUILDING FABRIC.

C1.1 General Requirements

For single boiler installations only the Purewell VariHeat c series of boilers are designed to be used with a forced draught flue system. Flue systems should be designed in accordance with regulations and with reference to BS 6644 and IGE/UP/10.

Open (Natural draught ) Flue.

Type B23: Intake from ventilated plant room and discharge via vertical flue. – Fig C1.2

The connection to the boiler is suitable for 150mm flue duct, for connection to an open flue (chimney) system . The resistance and maximum length of the flue system components is detailed in Figure C1.1

The following points should be noted:

a. Due to the high thermal efficiency of the boiler condensation in the flue will occur. It is strongly recommended that twin wall or insulated flue pipe is used on all external flue installations.

b. Care should be taken to ensure that the flue is installed such that any condensation is continuously drained. All flues should have a maximum slope of 2° upwards in the direction of the exhaust gas flow (no horizontal sections). All joints should be such that any condensation is directed back down the slope to an open drain connection in the flue. The drain pipe must be manufactured from a corrosion resistant material and be at least 15mm diameter. It must also have a fall of at least 2-3° (approx. 30-50mm per meter) and connect to a drain via a waste trap.

c. Boiler flue outlet sizes - A flue system designed with the same diameter as the boiler flue outlet may not provide satisfactory performance in all applications. Consideration must be given to the correct calculation of the required flue size. If in any doubt consult Hamworthy Heating Ltd who can supply a full flue design and installation service.

C1.2 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 given in Table C1 above.

HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD

PUREWELL VariHeat

500001169/V

C1.3 Materials.

Materials used for the flue system must be mechanically robust, resistant to internal and external corrosion, non combustible and durable under the conditions to which they are likely to be subjected. Consideration must be given to avoid possible freezing of condense water traps and pipework

C1.4 Suction

The flue system must be designed acknowledging that there is a positive pressure of generated by the boiler combustion fan available to the flue system. It is recommended that a draught stabiliser is fitted to the flue system where the draught is likely to become –ve at the boiler connection.

C1.5 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.

WARNING: THE FLUE SYSTEM MUST BE SELF SUPPORTING AND NOT PRESENT

A RISK TO PEOPLE IN OR AROUND THE BUILDING.

C1.6 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 so situated as to prevent the products of combustion entering any opening in a building. Where the flue diameter is less than 204mm (8”) diameter a terminal must be fitted. Where the flue is of a larger size, consideration should be given to the fitting of a flue discharge terminal or grille to stop ingress of birds etc.

C1.7 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.

C1.8 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. Check that the flue and chimney are clear from any obstruction. Purewell VariHeat 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.

C1.9. Condensate Discharge

Due to the high thermal efficiency of the boiler, condensation will occur within the boiler casing during firing from cold conditions. A drain with an integral trap is fitted to the rear of each module suitable for connection to a 32mm plastic waste pipe (not Hamworthy Heating Ltd supply), which must be connected to a tundish (not Hamworthy Heating Ltd supply). Discharge piping from a tundish should be of synthetic material due to the mild acidity of the condensate (pH 3-5), with all discharge piping having a minimum fall of 30mm/m away from the boiler. Consideration should be given to possible freezing of condense water traps and pipework. This must be avoided at all times by routing pipework within the building, where possible. It is strongly recommended that on modular installations, the common header and chimney system must have separate drains for condensate disposal - refer

to section 4.5.

APPENDIX D - VENTILATION

D1.1 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.

Combustion air for the boiler is drawn through the rear of the boiler casing. The area must be kept open and free from blockage at all times.

D1.2 Air 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 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.

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) = 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) - 4.0 cm² per kilowatt of total rated net heat input. High level (output) - 2.0 cm² per kilowatt of total rated net heat input.

If the boilers are to operate during the summer months for 75% of the time a further 1 cm² or for 100% of the time a further 2 cm² should be added per kW to both high & low openings.

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.

E1.1 Water Circulation System

The Purewell VariHeat boiler has a low water content and the requirements of minimum water flow are given in the above table. Recommendations for the water circulation system are given in BS 6644.

The following details are of particular importance for the correct installation of the water circulation system:

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”) 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. Furthermore, 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 module has R2” male flow (indicated with a red spot) and return (indicated with a blue spot) connections. 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, or with a ‘single pipe header system’. Figure E1.2 on the following page show typical layouts.

5) Ideally, individual valves should be fitted to each module to enable isolation from the system, however, the arrangement must comply with the requirements of BS 6644.

E1.2 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 2.0 metres or 0.2 bar.

2) Single installed boiler running at 90°C flow temperature. Minimum head required = 3.0 metres or 0.30 bar.

3) Modular boiler installation running at 82°C flow temperature and 11°C rise across system. Minimum head required =

4.4 metres or 0.43 bar.

4) Modular boiler installation running at 82°C flow temperature and 15°C rise across system. Minimum head required =

6.5 metres or 0.64 bar.

E1.3 Pressure Relief Valve (Safety Valve)

The most important single safety device fitted to a boiler is its safety valve. Each boiler module is provided with a capped R1” stub pipe for the fitting of a safety valve (not supplied). 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.

HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD

PUREWELL VariHeat

500001169/V

E1.4 Open Vent and Cold Feed Pipe.

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 the table. The vent pipe must rise continually, any valve fitted between a boiler and the open vent pipe for maintenance purposes shall be of the 3 way type such that when closed to the vent pipe the boiler will be open to atmosphere. The vent pipe shall be protected against freezing where this might occur. See BS 6644 for detailed information on Open Vent and Cold Feed Pipes.

E1.5 Altitude Gauge (Water Pressure Gauge)

Every boiler or group of boilers should be provided with an altitude gauge complete with isolating valve. See Figure E1.2 for typical position.

E1.6 Thermometer

A thermometer complete with pocket should be fitted in the pipework to indicate water flow temperature. See Figure E1.2 for typical position.

E1.7 Drain Valves

Each boiler is fitted with a 15mm NB drain valve in the boiler return to drain the boiler only. The heating system in total should have drain valves as recommended by BS 6644. See Figure E1.2 for typical position.

E1.8 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 important that when Purewell VariHeat boilers are used to replace boilers on an existing system, the pumps should be checked for performance against the new boiler waterside pressure loss to ensure that the minimum flow rate can be obtained. 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.

If boiler / system pump(s) are not controlled by the boiler, a pump overrun (not Hamworthy Heating Ltd supply) should be fitted which must run for a minimum of 5 minutes on shutdown of the last boiler.

E1.9 Minimum Water Flow Rates

Minimum water flow rates are shown in table at beginning of Appendix E. 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.

E1.10 Waterside Pressure Drop

The waterside hydraulic resistance (Pressure drop) is given in table E1 at beginning of Appendix E.

E1.11 Water Flow Controls

Any external mixing valve / shunt pump or similar controls MUST always ensure that the minimum water flow rate as given in table at beginning of Appendix E is maintained. If there is any doubt relating to site flow conditions it is suggested that a flow switch is fitted. The flow switch should be connected such that the boiler will shut down if insufficient flow occurs.

E1.12 Frost Protection

Consideration should be given to fitting a frost thermostat set at approximately 4°C

E1.13 Unvented Systems

Refer to Figure E1.2 for typical layout of an 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 the following parameters

are required.

1) Static height of highest component in system (metres)

2) System volume. If this is not known, a general rule of thumb of 10litres/kW of installed boiler power

can be used.

3) Maximum flow temperature (°C)

4) Maximum system hot working pressure, generally given in bar gauge.

From the parameters given, 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. Refer to BS 6644: Part 1 for further information and to BS 6880: Part 1 for design considerations.
