I NTRODUCTION
The Ravenheat boiler is for the use of central and domestic hot water combined in
one unit.
It is fitted with an automatic domestic hot
water priority valve.
A (winter/summer) selector switch is fitted to the left hand side of
control panel. With the only (summer)
position being for domestic hot water.
position being for central heating
with domestic hot water priority. The boiler
is equipped with a front cover which can be
removed for servicing. The data badge with
technical data is placed on the lower left
hand side of the frame.

2.2.7
switched off, the pressure switch returning
to its rest mode.
Central heating mode
If the switch is positioned on with
a demand for heat to supply radiators, etc.
With heating circuit fully charged so as to
operate the low water sensor device the
boiler will start in the same way as domestic hot water mode but with slightly differing
time delay in that it will start on minimum
and remain at this level for about 1 minute,
after which the flame will lift to its maximum
setting as governed by a potentiometer
range rates the heating circuit between
maximum and minimum power.

DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL SYSTEM
AND SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
2.2
Domestic hot water mode
When the appliance is in rest mode with the
mains neon switch on. Switch the sum-
mer/winter switch in the position, mak-
ing sure the heating circuit is charged with
water (above 1 bar). When the domestic hot
water tap is turned on, the boiler will func-
tion in the following sequence:
2.2.1
The pump starts.
The control board sensors.
The fan operates via the pressure switch and
sends a signal back to the ignition board that
the fan is running at maximum speed.
2.2.2
The spark ignition system is powered which
in turn commences the spark igniter to
operate and light the burner.
At this point the ignition board opens the first
step of the gas valve to light the pilot/burner.
2.2.3
When the electrode/sensor senses the sig-
nal of the pilot/burner, it opens the second
stage of the gas valve via the ignition board
on minimum power. Upon the second valve
opening the spark igniter stops.
2.2.4 From the minimum gas rate setting the boiler increases to the maximum permissible
pressure over a period of 3 to 4 seconds
and will remain at its maximum required
power until its maximum regulated temperature.
2.2.5
When the domestic hot water tap is closed
the diverter valve goes back into rest mode,
the main burner is shut down along with the
pilot/burner. The pump and fan are also

2.3.3
2.3.4
2.3.5
2.3.6
2.3.7
On the control panel are mounted two
potentiometers (thermostats) these control
the temperature. One is for domestic hot
water and the other for heating.
The boiler is fitted with an anti-cycling
device on the control board. This delays the
boiler from re-firing over a 2.5 minute period
when in heating mode. The domestic hot
water will always take priority and is unaffected by the anti-cycling device.
GENERAL FUNCTION
Central Heating Mode
A potentiometer is installed on the electric
circuit board permits regulation of the boiler
to partial heating requirements, between
the factory setting.
Air is drawn by the fan for combustion.
The fan also forces exhaust gas through the
flue to the outside, this creates a lesser
pressure in the sealed combustion chamber, thus sucking in combustion air, through
the inlet duct.
The boiler water temperature is automatically controlled by a built in thermostat.
Interior space temperature is set by the
room thermostat to be installed in the heating system. The boiler already carries con-
nection terminals for this thermostat, as
well as for a timeclock. The burner will continue to operate until it is stopped by the
timer or one of the thermostats.
When the internal C.H. temperature sensor
intervenes the main burner shuts down. The
fan stops but the pump continues to oper-
ate.
When the room thermostats intervene the
main burner shuts down. The fan stops and
the pump turns off.

Domestic hot water mode
The heat exchanger in the D.H.W. circuit is
built into the main heat exchanger, and
domestic water is heated by converting the
water in the central heating circuit. The
transference of heat is very high because
the two fluids-move in a counter direction
flow to each other.
Switch 33 in the (winter) position.
When a hot water tap is turned on a
diaphragm diverter valve excludes the central heating circuit, the boiler automatically
modulates to maintain the domestic hot
water at a constant temperature.
Water temperature can be regulated using
the D.H.W. thermostat located on the front
control panel.
When domestic hot water is being drawn
the main burner and pump perform as they
do during central heating except that the
burner is commanded by the D.H.W. ther-
mostat.
When D.H.W. is no longer called for the boil-
er automatically returns to the central heat-
ing mode.
Switch 33 in the (summer) position. The
boiler functions like an automatic gas hot

water heater. When D.H.W. is no longer
required the main burner fan and pump
immediately turn off.
This also takes place when switch 33 is on
(winter) if there is no demand for
heat to the central heating system or until
the room thermostat/time clock demands
for heat to the central heating circuit.
SAFETY DEVICE
In both central heating and domestic hot
water mode safe operating is ensured by:
- A differential pressure switch which shuts
off the main burner if the fan stops or the
flue or combustion air intake duct is
obstructed.
An overheat cut off thermostat set slightly
higher than the high limit thermostat acts to
turn off the burner to resetable “lockout”
(Fig. 50) item 3.
A safety valve fitted on the central heating
circuit set at 43 psi (3 bar).
A heating circuit (low water) pressure
switch is set at 0.4 bar.

4.8.1
WATER CIRCULATION (central heating)
Detailed recommendation are given in BS
6798:1987/5449:1990 (for smallbore and
microbore central heating systems). The following notes are given for general guidance.
4.8.2 Pipework
Copper tubing to BS 2871 1 .1 .1971 is recommended for water pipes. Jointing should
be either with capillary soldered or with
compression fittings.
Where possible pipes should have a gradient to ensure air is carried naturally to air
release points and water flows naturally to
drain taps. It should be ensured as far as
possible that the appliance heat exchanger
is not a natural collecting point for air
except where providing useful heat, pipes
should be insulated to prevent heat loss
and to avoid freezing. Particular attention
should be paid to pipes passing through
ventilated spaces in roofs and under floors.
4.8.3
The water through the appliance heat
exchanger circuit must exceed the min.
2.38 gals/min. (650 It/h) when the burner is
firing. It is important to ensure that this rate
is achieved when sections of the system
are shut off either manually or by automatic
controls. Therefore a by-pass must be fit-
ted to the system (15 mm min.) (Fig. 6A).
14
Fig.

4.8.4
4.8.5
4.8.6
If the volume of circulating water is too low,
the boiler water temperature will rise too
rapidly. This could cause noise in the system or even cause the overheat cut off to
lockout.
Draining tap
These must be located in accessible positions to permit the draining of the whole
system. The taps must be at least 15 mm
nominal size and manufactured in accordance with BS 2870 1980.
Air release points
These must be fitted at all high points
where air will naturally collect, and must be
sited to facilitate complete fitting of the system.
The appliance has an integral sealed
expansion vessel to accommodate the
increase of water volume when the system
is heated. It can accept up to 1.5 gal (7 Its)
of expansion water. If the appliance is con-
nected to a system with an unusually high
water content, calculate the total expansion
and add additional sealed expansion
capacity as appropriate (Fig. 7).
In general modern systems will present no
problem.
located, between the cistern and the auto-
matic air vent. The stop valve may remain
open during normal operation of the system,
if automatic water make-up is
required.
Booster pump method (Fig. 8).
The system may be filled through a self
contained unit comprising of a cistern pressure booster pump if required and if necessary an automatic pressure reducing valve
or flow restrictor. The cistern should be
supplied through a temporary connection
from a service pipe or cold water distributing pipe. The unit may remain permanently
connected to the heating system to provide
limited automatic water make up.
Mains topping up method (Fig. 9).
Here the temporary connection is supplied
from a service pipe, or distributing pipe,
which also supplies other draw-off points at
a lower level.
A combined double check valve shall be
installed upstream of the draw-off point,
through a temporary hose connection from
a tap supplied from the mains, where the
mains pressure is excessive a pressure
reducing valve shall be used to make filling
easier. The following fittings shall form a
permanent part of the system and shall be
fitted in the order stated.

Permissible methods of filling
Cistern method (Fig. 8).
The system may be filled by one of the following methods. Through a cistern used for
no other purpose, via a ballvalve permanently connected directly to a service pipe
and/or cold water distributing pipe. The sta-
tic head available from the cistern should
be adequate to provide the initial system
