TOTALLY CONDENSING :
The HeatMaster

®

TC combines the
unique ACV Tank-in-Tank concept with
a dual primary circuit resulting in
exceptional performance from a totally
condensing combination boiler.

Tank-in-Tank technology

ACV’s advanced implementation of thermal storage technology is
tried and tested and is remarkably simple, efficient and reliable.
At the heart of the HeatMaster® TC is a stainless steel tank
through which the flue tubes pass.
This is surrounded by a mild steel shell containing the primary
water, which extends down to the combustion chamber and even
around the flue tubes. The burner fires onto the primary water
which indirectly heats the stainless steel tank containing the hot
water. As with all Tank-in-Tanks, this is corrugated over its full
height and is suspended in the HeatMaster® TC by its hot and
cold water connections.
The area of the heat transfer surface is therefore much greater
than that of standard direct fired water heaters. A much larger
heat transfer surface means that Tank-in-Tank units recover much
faster than any other kind of hot water storage device - and keeps
boiler cycling to a minimum. The high storage temperature within
the inner tank also results in exceptional hot water outputs.

Dual primary circuit technology

The HeatMaster® TC primary circuit is split into two sections - a
high temperature upper circuit and a low temperature lower circuit,
divided by a separation plate. The hot water storage tank is located
in the upper circuit which always operates at a temperature of
between 60°C and 90°C. This is ideal for hot water production as
it maintains the stored water at constantly high temperatures,
eliminating bacterial formation such as Legionellae, as well as
resulting in high volume hot water production.
The down-firing flue tubes pass through the upper circuit, through
the separation plate and into the lower circuit. The primary water
here operates at a temperature typically between 30°C and 60°C
for heating (dependent on the heating return temperature), perfect
for condensing when working in heating mode.

Dual coil technology

During hot water mode, the bottom circuit operates at a much
lower temperature, typically 5°C to 20°C depending on the
cold water inlet temperature. The incoming cold water enters
the lower primary circuit via an indirect water preheater. As
this preheater is wrapped around the lower flue tubes of the
combustion chamber, it is able to absorb the remaining heat
from the flue gases. The result is that during hot water mode the

HeatMaster® TC totally condenses whether on full or part-load.

INTRODUCTION

Heating

The heating return
enters the lower circuit
of the boiler, which allows
the boiler to operate
in condensing mode.
The upper circuit of the

HeatMaster® TC is kept

at a consistently high
temperature due to the
internal shunt pump which
ensures that the primary
water circulates around
the heat exchanger flue
tubes.

Heating and
hot water

Once up to temperature,
the HeatMaster® TC is
capable of producing
heating and hot water
simultaneously.

Hot water

With the upper circuit
maintained at high
temperature, the

HeatMaster® TC is always

ready to supply hot water
on demand.

The cold water enters
through the indirect water
preheater at the base of
the heat exchanger and is
preheated before entering
the hot water tank. The low
temperature of the bottom
circuit results in continuous
condensation of the flue
gases in hot water mode.

Operating modes

In both heating and hot water modes, the premix
gas burner fully modulates the power to match
the system demand.

664Y2800.B

DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIFICATIONS

The HeatMaster® TC is an hot water producer combined in
a condensing boiler in accordance to the Belgium "HR-Top"
standard. The boiler is certified compliant with "CE" standards as
a connected appliance C13(x) - C33(x) - C43(x) - C53 - C83(x), but
it can also be connected as an open appliance in category B23.

Lining

The boiler is protected by a steel lining that first of all undergoes a
degreasing and phosphation process before being lacquered and
heated at 220°C. The inside of this lining is coated with a layer of
thermal and acoustic insulation, reducing losses to a minimum.

Heat exchanger

The core of the HeatMaster® TC features a new stainless steel
heat exchanger. This piece of technology represents the fruit of
exhaustive research and intensive laboratory testing. It reflects
ACV’s eighty years of experience in using stainless steel for
heating and hot water functions. The particular geometry of the
exchanger pipes is calculated to obtain a very large Reynolds
number throughout its cycles.
The HeatMaster® TC achieves an exceptional output that remains
stable throughout the boiler’s life, given that it causes no oxidation
on the exchanger, which is manufactured entirely from quality
steel.

Burner

ACV uses its BG 2000-M burner for the HeatMaster® TC: this
is an air/gas premix burner providing safe and silent operation
while limiting emissions (NOx and CO) to an incredibly low level.
Although the ACV BG 2000-M boiler is very modern, it uses
proven technology and is manufactured from standard spare
parts that are easily available on the market.

Temperature regulation

The basic version of the HeatMaster® TC is fitted with a
microprocessor controlled regulator (MCBA) which takes over
both the safety functions (ignition, monitoring the flame, limiting
the temperature, etc.) and control of the boiler temperature.
This MCBA also includes a weather-dependent regulator. All you
need to do is connect the outdoor temperature sensor available
as an option to the device. However, this regulator can also
operate with a standard on/off room thermostat In addition,
with the combination of a weather -dependent regulator and a
room thermostat, you can control the temperatures based on
the weather with compensation for the indoor temperature.
There are four user adjustable parameters. By entering a
special maintenance code, qualified ins tallers can access
several other parameters to adapt the boiler to special
requirements. In principle, these parameters are factory set
for all normal applications.

PRODUCTION OF HOT WATER

In addition to its exceptional hot water performances, the ACV
Tank-in-Tank concept provides the follwoing advantages :

- A solution for scale deposits: thanks to the specially designed
corrugations, the hot water tank expands and contracts during
the heating cycle, preventing the formation of scale.

- A guarantee against the risk of Legionnellae Disease and
bacteria: the hot water tank is fully immersed in the primary

circuit and the hot water is constantly kept at a temperature
above 60°C.

- Exceptional resistance against corrosion and aggression:
provided by the stainless steel.

FROST PROTECTION

The boiler is equipped with an integrated frost protection: as soon
as the boiler temperature drops below 7°C, the system activates
the central heating pump. As soon as the NTC1 flow temperature
drops below 3°C, the system automatically ignites the burner until
the temperature rises above 10°C. The pump continues to run
for about 10 minutes.

If an outdoor temperature sensor is connected to the system,
the pump is activated as soon as the outside temperature drops
below the specified threshold.

To provide efficient protection for the whole system against frost,
all the valves on the radiators and the convectors should be
completely open.

USERS GUIDE

Heating system

The central heating circuit must be pressurized (see in the
chapter “Installation” how to define the system pressure).
The pressure indicator is located on the right-hand side of the
display.

If your system needs to be refilled more than twice

a year, please contact your installer.

The CH pressure must be a minimum of 1 bar and mus t be
checked by the end user on a regular basis. If the pressure
drops under 0.5 bar, the integrated water pressure switch
blocks the appliance until the pressure in the system returns to
a level above 0.8 bar. The connection for a fill valve is provided
underneath the appliance. The installer can also fit the system
with a separate valve. Make sure that the appliance is powered
off when filling the system. To do this, toggle the Star t/Stop
switch located on the left of the screen to Off. (see the Control

panel).

For more information, please ask your installer when the system
is delivered.

A safety valve is provided at the underneath of the appliance.
If the system pressure exceeds 3 bars, this valve opens and
drains the water from the system. In this case, please contact
your installer.
