General requirements 3
The ecoTEC plus 937 is a fully-automatic wall-mounted
unit with condensing technology for central heating and
hot water preparation and with a shift load storage tank
for the storage of hot water.
Mains cold water heated by the combi boiler is fed to
the heat insulated storage tank by means of a modulating storage tank charging pump.
The provision of hot water takes place directly from the
combi boiler without the need for a copper cylinder, a
cold water tank or a supply and expansion vessel with
the corresponding pipework. The provision of hot water
has priority over the central heating.
The combi unit supplies the shift load storage tank with
electrical energy for the storage tank charging pump.
The combi unit is equipped with a warm start function
which keeps the heat exchanger hot so that hot water is
immediately available.
The temperature in the hot water heat exchanger is limited by the control system.
Fitting a water softener on the mains cold water inlet of
the combi boiler is not necessary. In regions with extremely hard water (greater than 300 mg/l of CaCO
however a water softener may still be fitted in order to
prevent the formation of scale build up in the water pipes.
The heating system can be filled using the filling devices
fitted to the ecoTEC plus combination boilers.
The ecoTEC plus 937 is be supplied for natural gas and
can be converted for propane gas with a conversion kit.

3.7 Flue termination
The following information applies to both flue pipe
systems.
a. The terminal position must be located in such a
position that any flammable gases can be freely
dissipated.
b. A plume of water vapour will sometimes be visible
from the flue terminal. Positions where this could
be a nuisance should be avoided.
c. If the terminal is less than 2 m above a balcony, the
ground or a flat roof that is accessible by persons,
a suitable terminal guard should be fitted (manufactured by Tower Flue Components, Tonbridge, TN9 1TB,
Model K3, plastic-coated).
Note
h
Vertical flue pipes must not terminate within
600 mm of an opening window, air vent or any
other ventilation opening.
The flue pipe must be fitted, or shielded, in such a way
that ignition or damage to sections of the building are
avoided.

b) so that products of combustion are not directed to
discharge across a boundary.
1) Dimensions B, C and D:
These dimensions can be reduced to 25 mm without
having a negative effect on the performance of the
boiler. In order to ensure that condensate plume does
not affect adjacent surfaces the terminal should be
extended as shown in Fig. 3.7.
2) Dimension F:
These dimensions can be reduced to 25 mm without
having a negative effect on the output of the combi
boiler. However in order to ensure that the condensate plume doe not affect adjacent surfaces a clearance of 300mm is preferred. For IE, recommendations are given in the current edition of IS813.
Danger!

Danger of death by electric shock!
The unit must be earthed.
3.10 System requirements
3.10.1 Water circulation system
Detailed recommendations concerning the water circulation system can be taken from BS 6798 and BS 5449,
Part 1 (for "Small Bore” and "Micro Bore” central heating systems). Pipework which does not form part of the
usable heating surface should be insulated to prevent
heat losses and possible freezing up, especially where
the pipes run through roof spaces and ventilated underfloor spaces. The drain connections must be located in
easily-accessible locations, so that draining the entire
system including the combi boiler and the hot water
system is possible. The drain connections should be at
least 1/2 " (BSP nominal size) and must be in accordance with BS 2879.
The combi boiler is suitable for Minibore and Microbore
Systems. Copper tubing in accordance with BS 2871
should be used for all water carrying pipework. All capillary joints in all Domestic Hot Water (DHW) pipework
must be made with lead free solder. When a new boiler
is to be fitted to an existing system, it is good practise
that the system is thoroughly flushed before the boiler
if installed in the system. See BS 7593 for full details.
Fig. 3.7 Flue termination under balcony/eaves
3.8 Air supply
Detailed recommendations for air supply are given in
BS 5440, Part 2.
It is not necessary to have an air vent in the room or
internal space in which the boiler is installed.
Ventilating a cabinet or enclosure
This appliance is highly efficient. As a consequence the
heat loss from the casing is very small. For cupboard or
compartment installations it is not necessary to provide
any high or low permanent air vents for cooling or ventilation purposes.
3.9 Electrical connection
In accordance with BS 7671 (IEE Wiring Regulations) and
any other local regulations which may apply, a 3 A
fused single phase AC supply (230 V, 50 Hz) must be
provided. In IE the current issue of the ETCI regulations
must be observed. The method of connection to the
mains electricity supply must provide a means of
completely isolating the boiler and ancillary controls.
Isolation is preferably by the use of a fused three pin
plug and unswitched shuttered socket outlet, both complying with the requirements of BS 1363. Alternatively,
a 3 A fused double pole switch with 3 mm contact separation on both poles may be used.
Caution!
a
To prevent the formation of deposits and
prevent serious damage to the appliance and
system, cleansers must be used carefully
following the cleanser manufacturers instructions and must be removed by thoroughly
flushing the system. Cleansers should only
be left in systems for a maximum of 24 hours.
Failure to thoroughly remove cleanser from a
system could result in damage to the appliance.
The cleaning must take place before fitting a new boiler
and in accordance with BS 7593. Recommendations for
use of system cleaning agents can be obtained from

3.11.2 Filling and preparation of the heating system
The system can be filled using the incorporated filling
device. This connection must be removed again after
the filling process is complete. If the local Water Authority regulations do not allow temporary connection a
sealed system filler pump with break tank must be used.
The heating system will not be filled automatically from
the domestic hot water side. (Alternative methods of
filling sealed systems are given in BS 5449)
