1. GENERAL INSTRUCTION

1.1 DESCRIPTION

The Keston Condensing Boiler is unique in its concept and design. While the application for which the boiler was designed is the same as those which other boilers are us ed the Keston boiler has the added advantage of very high efficiency, and small diameter plastic flue which can be extended to 10 metres horizontally or vertically.

The Keston uses a high power combustion blower to deliver a pre-mix of gas and air to a downward firing burner in a high efficiency, single pass heat exchanger.

Normally the combustion temperature of the air gas mixture is around 1800 Keston achieves combustion at an am azing 1000

C thereby reducing the NOx emissions

down to an incredible less than 5 p.p.m. The flue system is room sealed and fan powered. The ignition is direct spark and fully

automatic. The boiler housing is not waterproof. The boiler should be installed in a position where it will always be dry. A small air intake point is incorporated within the appliance cabinet to ensure that the interior of the cabinet is maintained under a slight negative pressure. This is a safety feature to ensure no products may leak out of the cabinet into the installation space.

C but the

The boiler is suitable f or connection to open vented or sealed s ystems. T he system mus t be pumped central heating or pumped central heating with combined indirect domestic hot water. Gravity circuits must not be used.

The boiler has a primary heat exchanger which, through its combustion chamber and corrugated coil, transf ers the heat produced in the hot gas es of combus tion process into the circulating water. Head characteristics of the boiler coil must be taken into consideration when calculating the pump size.

The Keston boiler is not a high water content boiler and does not contain the metal mass , or water volume, of a cast iron or steel boiler. This boiler is of low mass and low water content and therefore responds fast er when there is a call for heat. Th is f eatur e requir es a higher water pumping rate thr ough the boiler otherwise localised boiling will occur within the boiler.

Allow a pressure drop through the boiler of 3.2 ft head and a water flow of 4.2 gallons (19 litres) per minute f or the Keston 50, 4.3 f t head and 5 gallons (23 litres) per m inute for the Keston 60 and 9 ft head and 6.7 gallons (30.5 litres) per minute for the Keston 80.

The boiler selected m ust be sized relative to the total c alculated heat loss of the building. The boiler rated output should not be greater than the total required to make up the calculated heat loss plus the heat required to provide domestic hot water. If there are special conditions such as excessive domestic hot water usage consult the manufacturer.

1.2 BOILER SCHEMATIC

Air is drawn into the boiler through a 40mm ( BS5255) m uPVC pipe. T he air f low is proved by a differential pressure across the air control orifice.

Gas is mixed with com bustion air at the inlet to the fan. The gas flow is regulated by an orifice located in the housing downstream of the gas valve.

The gas and air are thoroughly mixed in the blower and f ed into the burner located at the top end of the heat exchanger module. The gas and air mixture is ignited by a direct spark ignition control system and burns with a blue flame j ust off the surface of the burner. As the hot products of com bustion pass downwards, they are cooled, exchanging heat with the circulating water which enters the heat exchanger coil at the bottom of the heat exchanger.

When the return water temperature is below 54oC, part of the water vapour in the combustion products will condense ins ide the heat exchanger, thus increasing the boiler efficiency. This condensate falls to the bottom of the heat exc hanger where it is s eparated from the flue gases and exits from the boiler through the condensate drain. Any condensate formed in the flue runs back down the flueway and is drained at the base of the flue connection to the heat exchanger.

The condensate is very slightly acidic (about the same acidity as vinegar) and should be piped in a plastic pipe. It is not harmful to the waste disposal system and may be disposed of as normal waste water.

The flue gases are piped in a 40m m m uPVC pipe to the outside. The temper ature of the flue gases are usually less than

10oC above the temperature of the retur n water. The flue

pipe should be terminated outside the building from where they cannot re-enter the building or any other adjacent building or cause a nuisance by pluming.

The heating level may be controlled by room thermo stats, hot water cylinder thermostats and programmer time clocks.

room containing a bath or shower, any electrical switch or appliance control, utilising

mains electricity, should be so situated that it cannot be touched by a person using the bath or shower.

Compartment installation is permitted - such compartments must be constructed in accordance with BS 6798.

The wall on which the boiler is mounted must be of suitable load bearing capacity and must be non-combustible.

Important : It is not recommended to install the boiler on a studded wall or similar - it is possible that the vibration from the fan would be amplified and transmitted to other parts of the house.

[NB: Refer to Section 2.8.3]

The Keston can be located virtually anywhere desired provided that all regulations are met. Because of the boiler's compact size and venting flexibility, the installation is not limited to a boiler room setting. Before locating the boiler near a living space consider whether the sounds generated by the boiler will be objectionable. Sound levels from the boiler are no greater than from any other type of high-efficiency boiler but even minimal levels may be objectionable if located near a bedroom or in a living area.

Figure 2.3

The boiler must be connected to a 230V ~ 50Hz supply, fused at 5A. All external controls and wiring must be suitable for mains voltage. Wiring

external tothe boiler must be in accordance with current I.E.E wiring regulations and local regulations.

Installation & Servicing Instructions

Page 11

WD50/2/1997 Chapter 2 - Boiler Connections The Keston 50, 60 & 80 Condensing Boilers

The method of connection to the mains electricity supply must facilitate complete electrical isolation of the boiler complying with the requirements of BS

1363. The appliance must be connected to the supply via a fused double-pole switch,

having at least 3mm (1/8 inch) contact separation in both poles, serving only the boiler and the system controls.

The connection point to the mains supply should be readily accessible and adjacent to the boiler, except for rooms containing a bath or a shower. Refer to section 2.3 Position.

2.4.2 External Wiring & Controls

1. The boiler is deisgned so that all control wiring is external to the boiler. Hence, any programmers or room thermostats etc must act by switching the 230V supply to the boiler.

2. System designs which allow the boiler to fire when there is no pumped circulation must NOT be used.

3. A programmer may be used with zone valves to give independent control of central heating and hot water.

2.5 BOILER SIZE SELECTION

The size of the boiler to be used is determined by the total calculated heat loss of the building. Match the calculated heat loss with the boilers rated output. If a boiler is

installed with an output rating greatly exceeding the total capacity of the distribution system the efficiency of the boiler will be reduced. If the boiler is to be used to heat

domestic hot water no additional capacity is normally needed for the average residential installation since there is usually some excess capacity in the boiler as water heating is an intermittent load.

2.6 GAS SUPPLY

A gas meter should be connected to the service pipe by the local gas supplier or their contractor. An existing meter should be checked preferably by the gas region to ensure that the meter is adequate to deal with the rate of gas supply required. Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with BS 6891.

Minimum/Maximum Natural Gas Pressure:

Natural gas pressure before the gas valve must be maintained at 20 mbar (8 in w.g) while the boiler is running. Gas pressures above or below this level will lead to problems associated with the gas valve's internal pressure regulator.

Minimum/Maximum L P Gas Pressure:

LPG pressure must be maintained between 31.5 mbar (12.4 in w.g) and 37.6 mbar (14.8 in w.g) while the boiler is running Gas pressures above or below these levels will lead to problems associated with the gas valve's internal pressure regulator.

Supply pipes to the boiler must not be sized less than the boiler inlet connection (15 mm) Due consideration must be given to the supply pressure to other gas appliances in the premises.

Installation & Servicing Instructions

WD50/2/1997 Chapter 2 - Boiler Connections The Keston 50, 60 & 80 Condensing Boilers

A gas cock is supplied loose with the boiler. This cock should be fitted in the gas line to the boiler as close to the boiler as possible so that it is easily identified as the cock to isolate the boiler.

2.7 WATER SYSTEMS

All piping must be installed in accordance with all applicable local and Water Supply Bylaws for forced hot water heating systems. Consideration must be given to pipe capabilities and pressure drop through the piping. Water treatment must be carried out to BS 7593 : Treament of Water in Hot Water Central Heating Systems. Pump isolating valves must be positioned as close to the pump as possible.

a The Keston is suitable for use on open, vented water systems with combined feed

and vent.

b It is preferable for use on sealed water systems, provided the appropriate

components required (see Section 2.7.2 Sealed Systems) are included in the system.

c Any system must

connection with the boiler. A trap may be installed in the flow line to collect any solder, or other debris, from the installation.

d All water systems must be constructed to comply with requirements of the Local

Water Authority.

e Only fully pumped systems can be used - gravity systems are strictly

suitable. f Always use a system complying with the requirements of BS 5449 and BS 6798. g The system must be so arranged that there shall always be a minimum flow of 4.2

gpm (19 litres/min) [Keston 50], 5 gpm (23 litres/min) [Keston 60] or 6.7 gpm

(30.5 litres/min) [Keston 80] when the boiler is firing. This can be via a specially

installed by-pass arrangement. h Copper tubing to BS 2871 Part 1 is recommended. i Jointing should be either with capillary or compression fittings. Pipes should have

a gradient to ensure air is passed easily to vent points and water flows readily to

drain points. j Draining taps must be located in accessible positions which permit the draining of

the boiler and hot water storage vessel. Draining taps should be at least 15

mm in nominal size and be in accordance with BS 2879.

AIR VENT POINTS k These must be fitted at all high points where air may collect.

2.7.1 Open Vented Systems

A typical system is shown in Figure 2.7.1 which includes a combined feed and

vent. Note there must be no valve between the boiler flow and the open vent.

Note that the minimum static head required is 8 ft at the boiler flow pipe. If the

cold feed/vent is not brought to the flow pipe as shown, then the pressure loss

across the heat exchanger may have to be taken into account when estimating

the static pressure.

Although suitable for open vented systems with combined feed and vent

arrangements, the Keston is a low water content boiler. As such, any air

entrainement within the system water will produce boiler "kettling". It is

therefore recommended, if in any doubt, to consider the use of sealed

systems where possible.

2.7.2 Sealed Systems

Sealed systems must be designed in accordance with BS 5449 and BS 7074 Pt1. A typical sealed system is shown in Figure 2.7.2. It must include :

(i) A safety valve fitted on the flow, adjacent to the boiler. It must be non

adjustable and preset to 3 bar. A drain pipe must be attached, at least as big as the valve connection, and routed to drain in any area not hazardous nor where it may be subject to freezing.

(ii) An expansion vessel complying with BS 4814 and sized in accordance

with the requirements of BS 5449 and BS 7074 Pt 1. The vessel must be

positioned on the inlet to the pump. (iii) A filling point, in accordance with local water authority requirements. (iv) A method of system make-up (automatic or manual), in accordance with

local water authority requirements. (v) There must be no permanent connection of mains water to the boiler

system. (vi) The installation must be designed to work with flow temperatures of up to

110

All components of the system including the heat exchanger of the indirect cylinder must be suitable for a working pressure of 3 bar and a temperature of

C. Care should be taken in making all connections that the risk of leakage is

110 minimised.

2.7.3 Hot Water System (if applicable)

The hot water storage vessel must be of the indirect type (certain direct cylinders can be used provided

they are suitably adapted by fitting an immersion calorifier). DIRECT CYLINDERS MUST NOT BE USED. Further guidance is provided in BS 1394. It is advisable to fit a lockshield valve on the cylinder return

to enable balancing of flow rate through the cylinder.

2.7.4 Boiler By-pass Piping

Boiler water flows are critical to the operation of the boiler. If flow cannot be maintained through the system piping to meet the minimums required by the boiler (see paragraph 2.7 (g)). Insufficient water flows through the boiler will cause the boiler to "kettle" or even produce steam which can damage the heat exchanger and will invalidate the heat exchanger warranty.

It is normally advisable to incorporate a boiler by-pass in the system, especially if thermostatic radiator valves are used. The by-pass should be fitted with a lockshield valve to permit balancing of the by-pass flow rate. The flow/return differential should be 10

C to 15oC. The lockshield valve can be adjusted to

maintain this condition with the radiators fully heated.

WD50/2/1997 Chapter 2 - Boiler Connections The Keston 50, 60 & 80 Condensing Boilers

2.7.5 Air Elimination

In the initial charge of water to the boiler system and in all subsequent additions of water to the system some air will be dissolved in the water. As the water is heated the air is driven out of the solution and will collect in high spots in the system. These air bubbles can interfere with pumping and heat transfer and

must be eliminated.

Installation of air bleed valves at the high spot(s) in the system will allow for air elimination when filling the system and will allow re-venting in a day or so after all air has been driven out of solution. Installation of an automatic air vent will ensure that any air, even minute amounts, which subsequently enters the system will be automatically removed.

2.7.6 Strainers

Debris in the heating system can cause noise if it enters the heat exchanger. Fitting of a Y-strainer ahead of the circulating pump will trap any debris left in the system and will protect the pump from damage.

2.7.7 Pump Selection

The Keston boilers have low water content heat exchangers with a high resistance to flow, when compared with cast iron heat exchanger boilers. As a result selection of the correct pump is essential avoid localised boiling within the heat exchanger. The selected pump must be capable of maintaining the required flow rate for the boiler against the pressure losses contributed by the boiler and the rest of the system.

Refer to the pressure loss/flow rate Table 2.7.7 to determine the pressure loss from the boilers. Add this to the pressure loss caused by the rest of the system and select a pump capable of meeting the flow rate required at the total pressure loss generated by the boiler and the rest of the system. The selected pump must comply with BS 1394.

It is important to note that the minimum flow rate must be maintained whenever the boiler is firing. Systems using zone valves must be specifically designed to only fire the boiler when the pump is running and the minimum flow rate can be achieved.

The Wilo Salmson Gold Star pump, or the Grundfoss 15/60 pump is normally suitable for use with the Keston condensing boiler range. However, in all cases due consideration must be given to the resistance to flow offered by the rest of the system when making a final pump selection. This is particularly important when using small bore underfloor

heating pipework.

2.8 FLUE SYSTEM

2.8.1 Design

Individual air supply and flue outlet pipes are used. The material used for flue outlet &/or air inlet must be muPVC to BS 5255 and of an internal diameter of 38 mm.

Both flue outlet terminal and air inlet terminal are supplied and are illustrated in Figure 2.8.1.

2.8.2 Maximum Lengths

The maximum lengths of both air inlet pipe and flue outlet pipe, when no bends are used, are as detailed below.

Maximum Air Inlet Length : 10.0 m Maximum Flue Outlet Length : 10.0 m

However, each bend used has an equivalent length that must be deducted from the maximum straight length stated above.

A 92.5 Example:

sweep elbow is equivalent to 1.0m straight length.

Air inlet uses two 92.5o sweep elbows. Hence, maximum length permissible (ie a+b in figure 2.8.2) = 10.0m - 1.0m - 1.0m = 8.0m

Flue outlet uses one 92.5 c+d in figure 7 = 10.0m - 1.0 m = 9.0m

2.8.4 Terminations

It is not advisable to terminate air

intake or flue within a car port area.

Air inlet terminals must be facing upwards and positioned to ensure only fresh air is drawn into the boiler directly from outside the property. The flue outlet terminal is designed to face outwards but can, if desired, be adapted to face in any direction BUT

must not be directed in the region of the air inlet. The two terminals are subject to the requirements of BS 5440 Pt 1 for clearances from features of the building although some can be decreased to the values indicated. If either the air inlet or the flue outlet terminate at a height of less than 2m (6ft) above ground level the termination must be protected by a suitable guard. The K4 terminal guard, manufactured by Tower Flue Components Ltd, is suitable for this purpose and can be obtained from Keston Boilers. The Keston Condensing Boiler, as with any condensing boiler, will generate a condensate "plume" from the flue terminal in all weather conditions.

Consideration must therefore be given to the effect of this "plume" when selecting a location for the flue terminal.

A minimum clearance of at least 350 mm must be left between the terminations.

2.8.7 General Installations

All parts of the system must be constructed in accordance with BS 5440 Part 1, except where specifically mentioned in these instructions. All pipework must be adequately supported. All joints other than push-on or plastic compression connectors must be made and sealed

with solvent cement suitable for muPVC pipes and conforming to BS 6209: 1982. External wall faces and any internal faces of cavity walls must be made good.

2.9 AIR SUPPLY

The Keston is a room sealed appliance and therefore does not require purpose provided ventilation for combustion air.

2.10 COMPARTMENT INSTALLATION

Where the appliance is installed in a cupboard or compartment, no air vents are required. The boiler will run sufficiently cool without ventilation.

2.11 CONDENSATE DRAINAGE

Being a condensing boiler, the Keston is fitted with a condensate trap at the base of the heat exchanger and flue assembly, with facility to connect to a drain point underneath the appliance.

Use only plastic piping and do not reduce below 22mm internal diameter within the dwelling. Condensate should preferably be drained into the house sanitary waste system or, alternatively, the rainwater system. Termination of the pipe must be either at a branch or stack internal to the house, or externally at an open gully. Alternatively, discharge into a purpose made condensate soakaway can be considered. Existing or purpose built drains must use suitable corrosion resistant material as condensate is mildly acidic.

A minimum slope downwards towards the drain of 2.5 Freezing of the termination and pipework must be prevented. Any drainage pipes outside the house must be at least 32 mm inside diameter.

Further guidance is given in the British Gas Publication 'Guidance Notes for the Installation of Domestic Gas Condensing Boilers'.

2.12 RADIANT FLOOR HEATING

This type of heat distribution creates an exceptionally evenly heated environment and since it is hidden beneath the finished flooring does not interfere with furniture placement. The homeowner has complete freedom to decorate without having to contend with any heating equipment visible in the homes interior. The low operating temperatures of this type of system lead to very good operating efficiencies. In fact, under floor heating can produce in excess of 95% operating efficiency from a Keston condensing boiler. Water temperatures in radiant floor heating systems must be kept relatively low, generally under 48 to the touch. If radiant heating is only one application for a multi-zone system which also requires higher delivery water temperatures for other zones (i.e. water heating, skirting heaters etc.) then the radiant floor zone temperature will need to be controlled separately from the boiler.

(45mm fall in 1m) is essential.

C, so that surfaces do not become uncomfortably warm

If radiant floor heating is the only application of the boiler, the boilers temperature limits can be lowered accordingly by introducing an external thermostat control mounted on the return pipework into the boiler. This thermostat can then be used to interrupt power

supply to the boiler when the required temperature is reached. Mixing valves are also

available which will mix return water from the system with boiler output water to dilute the temperature of water transmitted to the distribution system. Mixing valves may create problems with low flow and high temperatures through the boiler unless care is taken to design a system which will provide proper flows and will fully load the boiler. Keeping the boiler's temperature high will prevent the boiler from operating at peak efficiencies. Systems which maintain boiler temperatures in this way should be avoided.

If only a portion of the boiler's available output is to be used for radiant floor heating a thermal storage tank will improve the boiler's operation and give adequate control of temperature for the distribution system. By heating water to be distributed to the radiant floor zone to the proper temperature in an indirect-fired water heater, full load conditions will be available to the boiler because the heat exchanger in the tank can be sized to match the boiler's output. The tank's thermostat can be set at the optimum operating temperature needed by the distribution system and short-cycling of the boiler will be prevented. In such insulations it is advisable to calibrate the thermal store's operating thermostat to become the controlling thermostat of the boiler, ie the thermal store operating thermostat is always activated to shut off the boiler before the boilers own thermostat is activated. An insulated thermal storage tank without the heat exchanger may also be used.

2.13 LOW WATER VOLUME BOILER VS. CAST IRON BOILER

Because of their high water content and mass of metal, cast iron and steel boilers are less responsive but somewhat more forgiving of design errors. Short-cycling of the burner on the temperature limit control is less pronounced, though no less detrimental to operation, because the boiler itself will absorb and radiate a significant amount of heat. Low water volume boilers respond more quickly to a call for heat, can be made more compact and lightweight, but must have adequate heat delivery systems to avoid short-cycling of the burner on the temperature limit control. The heat delivery system's output must be equal to or greater than the boiler's output to fully load the boiler or short-cycling will occur.

Likewise, pumping rates of water through low water volume boilers must be maintained so that water is moved through the boiler fast enough so as not to reach boiling temperatures. The slower the water moves through the boiler the more heat it will absorb and the higher the temperatures will rise. Consequently, the pump selected must be adequate to maintain that critical flow of water.

2.14 DETERMINE RADIATION NEEDED ROOM-BY-ROOM

A radiator or convector's ability to deliver heat is related to the water temperature and the rate of delivery to the unit. Most systems in the past have been rated at about 80 Higher efficiencies can be gained from a condensing boiler if ratings published at lower temperatures are used. However, this is not imperative. With normal 80 condensing boiler will still deliver significantly higher efficencies than a non-condensing boiler. Lower water temperatures in the system tend to increase the efficiency of the boiler and will help assure that the boiler is subjected to a sufficient load to avoid short-cycling.

C ratings used a

The Keston boilers are capable of temperatures of up to 80 temperature of the return water, the lower the efficiency of the system. This is true of all boilers, though all non-condensing boiler must be kept at higher temperatures to avoid condensation in the boiler which destroys such boilers quickly. Materials used in the Keston are made to withstand the condensates corrosive nature.

3.3 ASSEMBLY PRACTICE

Remove all plastic debris and burrs when installing air intake piping. Plastic filings caused by cutting muPVC pipe must not be allowed to be drawn into the filter or combustion air blower. Prevent dust entering the air intake when cutting on building sites. Blower failure which is determined to be caused by plastic filings or other debris will not be covered by guarantee.

WD50/2/1997 Chapter 3 : Installation The Keston 50, 60 & 80 Condensing Boilers

Combustion air filters are fitted to the Keston condensing boilers as standard. This filter must be examined at least once every year, and more often in particularly dusty and dirty areas.

The combustion air filter will prevent plugging of the burner caused by dirt being trapped in the burner's outer mesh. The filter element supplied with the boiler is obtainable from Keston Boilers or its distributors.

a From the two connections on the boiler, mark the positions of the two holes for

the flue and air pipes on the wall(s) or ceiling. To allow access to drill the holes it may be necessary to temporarily remove the boiler. If the boiler stays put then it is imperative that the front panel and top access plate are replaced and the two plastic pipes capped off whilst drilling. Under no circumstances must debris from the wall or cut pipes be allowed to enter the appliance or the plastic pipework.

b Drill the two holes in the wall/ceiling, preferably using a core drill.

ii) For 'horizontal' runs of flue

pipe the holes must either be oversized or cut at a 5 (the latter may be difficult on long holes).

3.4.2 Oversizing

For every 1m length of run, L, the minimum diameter of the horizontal hole, D, must be du + 10 mm or ds + 10 mm respectively, assuming the pipe touches the wall at points T otherwise D will have to be increased by clearance from T. See Section 3.4.3 - Examples.

Always thoroughly deburr all pipes and, most important, remove shavings from within the pipe.

d. Assemble, using adhesive, the pipework from the boiler connections to

the exit from the first wall/ceiling (remount the boiler if removed). When pushing pipe through walls, ensure grit and dust is not allowed to enter the pipe. Ensure pipes are fully engaged into sockets. Connect the condensate drainage system and fill the condensate trap by pouring water down the boiler flue spigot ( See Section 3.5 Condensate Drainage).

Make the final connection of flue and air pipe to the boiler using push on, or plastic compression couplings. Ensure that the connectors

are set vertically otherwise leakage of condensate may occur which will corrode the casing. Do not use adhesive on the 'push on' end of the connecting couplings.

e. Using the same methods drill any further holes (always covering existing

pipework), cut and assemble the pipework.

f. From outside, complete the two terminations - See Section 2.8 Flue

System and make good all holes.

g. Support any pipes whose route could be displaced either of its own

accord or by accident. Any horizontal run over 1m or vertical runs of any length must always be supported.

h. Check all connections for security and re-seal any joints using sovent

cement where soundness may be in doubt. Note: It is equally important to seal the air inlet with solvent cement as

the flue outlet pipe joints.

3.5 CONDENSATE DRAINAGE

Connect the condensate drainage system to the boiler. It is advisable to use a detachable fitting at connection to the boiler to enable easy removal for servicing.

Fill the condensate trap by pouring water into the boiler flue spigot until water is seen to flow freely from the condensate drainage system. Make the final connection of flue pipe to the boiler.

4. COMMISSIONING OF THE BOILER

Important: This condensing boiler c ontains components which could be dam aged or block ed by grease, dirt, solder etc., from the water system. The following commissioning procedures must be followed precisely.

4.1 INITIAL FLUSHING

All waterways within the Keston are either copper or high alloy stainless steel. As a result standard water treatment chemicals for conventional central heating boilers are suitable. In any event reference must be made to BS 7593 : Treatment Of Water In Hot Water Central Heating Systems.

a. Disconnect the boiler from the system at the flow and return connections and

temporarily

b. Flush the entire system until clean water is discharged, free from dirt, flux, solder

etc. The use of a flushing chemical is recommended, e.g. Fernox Supafloc. Sludge and scale must be removed from an existing system.

c. Connect the system to the boiler and fill in accordance with Section 2.7 - Water

Systems. At this stage, for sealed systems, fill to a pressure of about 2.7 bar.

link the flow and return pipes on the system.

d. Check the complete system for water soundness. If leaks need to be rectified

using flux and solder, the system must be flushed cold again before proceeding.

e. Reduce the pressure to the Initial System Design Pressure for sealed systems, if

applicable. Vent the system

4.2 GAS SUPPLY

The complete gas installation up to the boiler service cock must be checked for soundness. BS 6891.

4.3 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Carry out preliminary electrical safety checks, i.e. Earth continuity, Polarity, Resistance to Earth, Short Circuit using a suitable test meter.

4.4 LP GAS CONVERSION

All Keston condensing boilers are built and shipped as natural gas fired units. Field conversion kits are available to convert Keston condensing boilers to use LPG. Suitable instructions are supplied with the LPG field conversion kits.

4.5 INITIAL FIRING

Important Checking the gas pressure to the pre-mix burner requires a special procedure, outlined below, which must be carried out.

a. Purge the gas supply in accordance with BS 6891. b. Turn the gas service cock OFF. c. Loosen the screw in the burner pressure test point (Figure 5.7.3 item 106A) on

the gas valve and attach a suitable gauge.

Installation & Servicing Instructions

Page : 23

Page 27

WD50/0/1996 Chapter 4 : Commissioning The Keston 50, 60 & 80 Condensing Boilers

d. Turn on the electrical supply, setting any external controls to call for heat. e. ON/OFF switch - select 'ON'. The amber 'run' light will illuminate on the ON/OFF

switch, the red 'lockout' light will illuminate, the blower and pump will start and, after about 15 seconds, a spark will attempt to light gas at the burner. With the gas service cock off, the boiler will go to lockout - red light illuminated, but the blower and pump will continue to run. At intervals of approximately 1 minute the boiler will make two further attempts to fire. After the final attempt the blower will run for a further 20 seconds before shutting down.

f. Vent the water system.

Important:

Keston heat exchanger consists of a single coil which can trap an air pocket.

The Great care must be taken to ensure that water flow has been established through the heat exchanger and thus ensuring no air pockets remain in the heat exchanger and pipe work. Firing the boiler while an air pocket exists in the heat exchanger could damage it.

g. Note the reading on the pressure gauge caused by the suction of the blower. This

should be approximately minus 12 mbar for the Keston 80, minus 26 mbar for the Keston 60 and minus 32mbar for the Keston 50. If it is not, check the system as follows:

If the negative pressure exceeds the required figure, then it suggests that there is a possible restriction in the air inlet pipework.

If the negative pressure is less than required figure, then it suggests that there is a possible restriction in the flue outlet pipework. Note the

exact reading. h. Turn the gas service cock to ON. i. Turn off the electricity supply, wait 10 seconds and turn back on. The boiler will

again go through its ignition sequence but this time the main burner will light, provided all air has been purged from the gas supply to the boiler. When the burner is lit and the boiler is operating normally the the green (run) lamp, the upper lamp adjacent to the flame symbol, will also be illuminated indicating successful ignition.(If it does not, air is indicated - turn off and repeat the procedure).

If this does not occur, the green (run) lamp, the upper lamp adjacent to the flame symbol, will be extinguished and, at approximately 1 minute intervals, the

electronic ignition system will make two further attempts to light the burner. If the ignition is successful and the boiler is operating normally, the green (run)

lamp, the upper lamp adjacent to the flame symbol, and the red (lockout) lamp will be illuminated simultaneously.

If, after three automatic attempts, the boiler still fails to ignite, the green (run) lamp, the upper lamp adjacent to the flame symbol, will be extinguished and the

red (lockout) lamp will remain illuminated. If, after five manual attempts (to allow for purging of any air in the gas line), the

boiler still fails to ignite (indicated by the red (lockout) lamp) refer to Section 5.2 Fault Finding Flow Chart.

j. Check for gas soundness between the gas service cock and connection to the

burner manifold.

4.6 HOT FLUSHING

a. Allow the system to heat up,

checking for water soundness.

b. Follow instructions provided with

the cleaning agent, ie Fernox Supafloc. Turn off the boiler and flush the water system while still hot. Thoroughly flush the system with clear water.

c. Refill the system using a quality water treatment such as Fernox MB1 or Fernox

Super Concentrate. If aluminium radiators are used then Fernox Copal should be used. For sealed systems, fill to the required Initial Design Pressure.

4.7 CHECKING THE GAS PRESSURE

With the boiler running measure the burner pressure at the burner pressure test nipple. The gas setting is factory adjusted to within the required range and should not normally

need re-adjustment unless the unit has also been converted to LPG as part of the installation. If the reading is incorrect then check such factors as soundness of the air and flue pipe joints and the gas inlet pressure (20 mbar required). If all joints are sound and the gas inlet pressure is satisfactory remove the brass dust cap covering the burner pressure adjustment screw on the gas valve (See fig. 4.7). Set the gas pressure to the required value as stated in table 1.4 by turning the exposed burner pressure adjustment screw (clockwise will increase burner pressure, anti-clockwise will decrease burner pressure). Replace the brass dust cap to cover the burner pressure adjustment screw.

4.8 TIMING THE GAS METER - NATURAL GAS

NB:

Table 4.8 Meter Timings

After the boiler has been started, and with no other appliances using gas, time the gas meter to be certain that the unit is running at the proper gas input. Determine the cubic feet of gas passing through the meter and determine the input in Btu per hour. Input must be within plus or minus 5% of the rated input.

Time, in seconds, the time taken to pass 2 cubic feet of gas through the meter (ie one revolution of a 2 cu ft dial) or 0.1 cubic metres if the meter is of the new metric digital type. Refer to table 4.8 to determine the input to the boiler and the time required for 2 ft

4.9 HANDING OVER TO THE USER

It is important to fully explain the following : a. Procedure to light and turn off the boiler, including isolation of the electrical supply

if necessary.

b. The function of the lockout feature must be explained :

If the red light only is illuminated for more than four minutes, this means that the boiler has failed to light. Turn off the electrical supply and wait 20 seconds. Turn ON again and wait. i) If lockout recurs immediately then the gas supply should be checked as

ON, otherwise consult a Service Engineer.

ii) If it is not possible to relight, the boiler must be isolated and a Service

Engineer called in to rectify the fault. c. Advise that a reduction in the water pressure reading on the gauge for sealed

systems indicates a leak which should be rectified before further use.

d. Advise that the appliance should be serviced by a competent person at least once

a year.

e. Advise on frost precautions. f. Hand over User Instructions.

5. FAULT FINDING

5.1 ELECTRICAL CONTROL SEQUENCE

When the external controls are calling for heat, power will be fed to the boiler connection strip at terminals L (Live) and N (Neutral). If the ON/OFF switch is also in the ON position the boiler ON lamp (amber) will be illuminated. Provided all temperature thermostats and pressure switches are closed, power will be fed to pin 2 on the control box, initiating the following sequence.

(1) The boiler lockout lamp (red) will be illuminated (2) The fan will start. (3) When the fan reaches running speed, the Air Pressure switch, normally open, will

close which will start the ignition sequence.

(4) After a pre-purge period of about 15 seconds, the gas valve will open to allow gas

to mix with the air at the suction side of the fan and the ignition spark will occur at the main burner.

(5) When the burner ignites, the flame is detected by the control box through the

combined flame sensor/ignitor and the ignition spark is stopped. Both the lockout lamp (red) and the boiler run lamp (green), the upper lamp adjacent to the flame symbol, will be illuminated. The boiler is now in its normal run condition.

(6) The burner will continue to operate until the gas valve interrupts the gas supply.

The gas valve will be closed by the control box if power is interrupted to the boiler by any external control or the boiler thermostat. If an interruption to the gas supply causes loss of the flame the control box with pause for approximately 10 seconds and then attempt to re-ignite the unit. If this attempt fails, ie due to lack of gas supply, the boiler will make two further attempts to ignite at intervals of approximately 1 minute and will then go into a lockout state (red lamp illuminated only). Once gas supply has been resumed the boiler can be reset by turning the boiler off and then on again via the on/off switch on the boiler control panel.

(7) The boiler can also be shut down by any of the flow limit, flow overheat and the

flue overheat thermostats, gas low pressure switch and by the low water pressure switch.

In such an event the green (run) lamp, the upper lamp adjacent to the flame symbol, will be extinguished and only the red (lockout) lamp will be illuminated.

Any failure of the boiler to sequence in the above manner should be investigated using the following trouble shooting flow diagram.

Before attempting any electrical fault finding, always carry out preliminary electrical system checks. On completion of any service/fault finding task which has required the breaking and remaking of electrical connections, the checks, earth continuity, polarity, short circuit, resistance to earth must be repeated.

To ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of the boiler it is necessary to carry out routine servicing at regular intervals. The frequency of the servicing will depend upon the particular operating conditions, but it is recommended that an annual service should be carried out by a

competent engineer. The appliance has an integral air filter, mounted at the top right hand side of the boiler, to which

the air intake pipe is connected. This filter should be ex amined every time the boiler is servic ed. It may need more frequent inspection ac cording to the condition of the atm osphere in which the air intake terminates.

Note: The air filter can be easily blocked if the boiler is running on or near a building site having

an excess of airborne dust. It is essential, with a premix gas burner, that the air is clean and free of dust.

It is the law that any service work must be carried out by competent qualified persons.

6.1 Pre-Service Checks

It is recommended that an inspection should be carried out prior to shutting down the unit for servicing. Remove the front cover by releasing the 2 slotted screws on the top and lifting the cover from the base (Front cover located by two pegs). The following items should be observed:

a. Smooth starting and running of the blower. b. Smooth lighting of the burner. c. Check for leakage of gas, gas/air or combustion products. d. Check for condensate leaks. e. Check the colour and appearance of the flame. A sky blue flame slightly off the

burner gauze is normal. The burner itself should appear dark. Any glow on the burner indicates gauze blockage requiring cleaning, an incorrect gas flow or an air intake blockage.

f. Check that the temperature differential between the flow and return pipes is less

than 15

C. The temperature difference should be between 10oC and 15oC. g. Check for water soundness. h. Inspect the flue vent and air intake pipework. Joints must be sound and all

pipework well bracketed.

i. Check that there is a steady fall back to the boiler from the flue pipe to allow

condensate to run back into the boiler (See Section 2.8.3 Slope).

j. With the boiler operating at a low return temperature (i.e. less than 50

C) check

that the condensate flows freely from the condensate line.

6.1.1 Burner & Heat Exchanger Blockage Checks

i) Turn off the boiler & shut off the gas supply to the boiler. ii) Remove the pressure point screws from points A & B. Attach a differential

gauge.

iii) Turn on the boiler and wait for the fan to reach full speed. Obviously the

burner will not light.

iv) The pressure difference should be lower than : 8 mbar on the Keston 50,

8.4 mbar on the Keston 60 and 11.2 mbar on the Keston 80. If not, clean the burner.

this, check the flue for blockage. xii) Turn off the electrical supply to the boiler. xiii) Remove the pressure gauge tube and refit the screw. xiv) Open the gas service cock.

6.2 Recommended Routine Service

a. Inspect the air filter located at the top right hand side of the boiler. Release the

projecting leaf on the filter box and slide out the filter. If the filter looks dirty remove the dirt with a vacuum cleaner or by other means. If

in any doubt renew the filter element.

b. Remove the burner head (Section 7.7) and inspect the burner appearance. Black

markings or other discolourations on the gauze indicate too much gas or a lack of air possibly due to a blocked air filter. Any breakages or damage to the burner mesh indicate the burner must be replaced.

WD50/2/1997 Chapter 6 : Servicing The Keston 50, 60 & 80 Condensing Boilers

c. If necessary, either due to discolouration or a high pressure differential between

points A & B in the pre-service checks, clean the burner with a mild detergent and rinse under a hot running tap.

d. If necessary, either from visual inspection or a high pressure differential between

points B & C in the pre-service checks, clean the heat exchanger using a suitable stiff plastic bristle brush, vacuum out any large particles and flush the heat exchanger with fresh water until the water flowing from the condensate drain is clear. When brushing the heat exchanger take care not to damage the condensing plug in the lower half of the heat exchanger.

e. Remove the condensate trap (Section 7.10) and unscrew the cap. Clean by

flushing through with clean running water. Reassemble in reverse order.

f. Check the electrodes mounted on the burner head. If the points are damaged or

burnt replace them. Check that the spark gap measures 4 mm.

g. Replace the burner head, renewing any gasket as necessary, and reconnect the

gas/air supply and the ignition lead. Ensure the flanged gas/air supply joint is air tight.

h. Turn on the electrical supply to the boiler and allow the boiler to reach operating

temperature levels.

household

i. Check for gas leakage around the burner head, air/gas flexible hose to the burner

head and ignitor plug if they have been removed.

j. Visually inspect the burner through the glass spy hole at the burner head (a small

mirror will prove useful).

k. Recheck the burner pressure by following the procedure detailed in Section 4.7

KESTON CONDENSING BOILER

Users Instructions

The Gas Safety (Installation And Use) Regulations: 1994 im pose certain statutory obligations on

gas users. Further information regarding these regulations can be obtained from your Gas Region. All gas appliances must be installed by competent persons by law in accordance with these regulations. Membership of CORGI is indication of such a competent person with regard to gas installation. It is in your interests, and that of safety, to ensure that the appliance is installed correctly and that the

law is complied with. Failure to do so could lead to prosecution.

Introduction

These instructions should be carefully read to ensure safe and economical use of your boiler. The Keston Condensing Boiler series are high efficiency central heating condensing boilers designed to provide central heating and indirect domestic hot water supply. They are designed for use with fully pumped systems only. These boilers are supplied for natural gas use but may be converted for use with LPG by installing the appropriate conversion kit. This conversion must be carried out by a competent person.

Servicing

To ensure continual safe and efficient operation of the boiler it is recommended that the appliance be checked and serviced as necessary at regular intervals. Generally once per year will be sufficient. It is the law that any servicing must be carried out by a competent person.

Clearances

If fixtures are to positioned close to the boiler the following minimum clearances must be observed: Top : 254 mm, Bottom : 127 mm, Left : 1 mm, Right : 1 mm & Front : 305 mm. Extended clearance is required to the front to allow for access for servicing.

Cleaning

Normal casing cleaning only requires dusting with a dry cloth. To remove more stubborn marks wipe with a damp cloth and finish with a dry cloth.

Boiler Setup

1) Check that the gas supply from the gas meter is turned ON

2) Check that the gas tap to the boiler is in the ON position (i.e. the screwdriver slot is aligned with the gas tap).

3) Switch on the electric supply to the boiler and controls and set the heating controls to call for heat.

4) Check the pressure gauge, to the right on the control panel on the front of the boiler. This should show around 1 to 2 bar pressure for pressurised systems.

Page 58

WD 62/1/1997

Warning: If there is no pressure indicated and the system if of the pressurised

type do not attempt to light the boiler. Send for your Installer or Service Engineer to re-pressurise the system.

To Light The Boiler

On/Off Switch

Green

Lamp Red

Lamp

Pressure Gauge

Fig 1: Boiler Control Panel

Switch the On/Off switch, to the left of the control panel on the front of the boiler, to the ON position. The following sequence will occur:

1) In the On position the On/Off switch will be lit with an amber light If the switch

does not illuminate check that the electricity supply to the heating system is on and that the controls are calling for the boiler to fire.

2) At the same time the red (lockout) light will illuminate. If neither the red (lockout) lamp nor green (run), the upper lamp adjacent to the flame symbol, illuminate then the boiler is up to temperature and will automatically start when the heating temperature drops sufficiently.

3) After about 15 seconds the boiler will ignite and the green (run) lamp, the upper lamp adjacent to the flame symbol, will also be illuminated.

The boiler is now running correctly and will proceed to switch itself on and off as the heating reaches its operating temperature.

If the green (run) lamp, the upper lamp adjacent to the flame symbol, goes out and the red light remains illuminated for more than two minutes, due to a failure to ignite or an interruption to the gas supply, turn the boiler off, wait for 10 seconds and turn the boiler on again as described above in To Light The Boiler. If the boiler still fails to ignite after three successive attempts contact your Installer or Service Engineer.

NB: The Keston boiler is designed for simplicity and hence has no user adjustment.

Gas Leak or Fault

If you suspect a gas leak turn off the appliance immediately and contact your local gas region without delay. If you suspect a fault with the appliance it must not be used until the fault has been corrected by a competent person.

In the unlikely event of a breakdown consult your Installer or Service Engineer
