2.3.3 Requirements for central heating water
Water quality
Water of the following quality is required for the first fill:
▪ The water must be clean, pure or purified as well as odorless and must not contain
suspended matter.
▪ The water hardness must not exceed 190 grain/fl.oz. or 100 ppm CaCO3
(100 mg/L), i.e. soft water is required.
▪ The chlorine concentration in the water must not exceed 58 grain/fl.oz. (30 mg/L).
▪ The pH value in the heating system must be between 8.0 and 8.6.
▪ If the water quality is too poor, use additives to prepare the water. If you are top‐
ping up with small amounts, always use clean water.
NOTICE
The hot water must not be used directly in swimming pools or thermae. Use a heat
consumer of the right size to consume the heat. Do not use the heating water as
drinking water.
To ensure good water quality during operation, avoid leaks and use a closed heating
system. If necessary, use a return temperature control.
First fill
To prevent air from getting into the heating system during the first fill, fill the filling
hose with water.
Frost protection
You can add anti-freeze to the heating water, however, this can reduce the heating ef‐
ficiency. Always follow the manufacturer’s dosing instructions when using anti-freeze,
as using the incorrect amount can cause corrosion. Check the concentration of the an‐
ti-freeze at regular intervals.

2.3.4 Ventilation requirement for boiler room
Introduction
The external combustion air must meet certain requirements to ensure that adequate
combustion air is supplied to the boiler and no by-products from the combustion get
into the boiler room.
Ventilation air for the boiler room must be taken from and expelled directly outside,
and the openings and air ducts must be designed to prevent weather conditions (e.g.
from foliage or snowdrifts), plants or animals from obstructing the air flow. Permanent
ventilation is required to ensure that the boiler runs smoothly.
In North America there are several regulations which govern the minimum require‐
ments of combustion air for chimneys.
The boiler must be installed in such a way that it receives adequate ventilation and
combustion air and that the fuel in the boiler burns. The exhaust air must be expelled
safely outside via the chimney and maintained within a safe temperature range.
Boiler rooms are usually so small that normal ventilation does not provide enough air
and air must be brought in from outside. External air openings and air channels must
be of an appropriate size to supply adequate combustion air. The design must comply
with NFPA 211.
Consult your local chimney inspector for the installation and install the boiler in accord‐
ance with the applicable local regulations.
Recommended size of air openings according to NFPA 54 and NFPA 211:
The boiler requires a fresh air supply of between 1 sq.in. per 2,500 BTU/h and
1 sq.in. per 4,000 BTU/h (550 mm²/kW and 880 mm²/kW), depending on local condi‐
tions and the climate zone. Local conditions may necessitate an additional air supply.
2.3.5 Requirements for the heating system
▪ The whole heating system must be designed in accordance with relevant national
and local regulations.
▪The boiler’s nominal load must be adjusted to the calculated heating requirements
of all the consumer loads connected in the heating circuit in summer and winter.
▪ The heating system must be big enough to transport the heat generated by the
boiler and an additional heat source (if present). The pressure throughout the
whole system including all heating zones must be even.
▪ Special equipment must be available for filling and ventilating the heating circuit.
Flow valves and zone valves must be fitted to set the correct water flow volume.
▪ All fitted pipes must be water-tight and air-tight and safely insulated.
▪ If there is a risk of parts of the heating system freezing, add anti-freeze to the wa‐
ter in these heat zones.
2.3.6 Requirements for the boiler room
▪ There must not be a potentially explosive atmosphere in the boiler room as the
boiler is not suitable for use in potentially explosive environments!
▪The boiler room must be frost-free.
Safety 2
Requirements at the place of installation
Owner´s Manual S3 Turbo | B1390016_en-us 15

▪ There is no lighting on the boiler. Therefore, the customer must provide sufficient
lighting in the boiler room in accordance with national workplace design regula‐
tions.
▪Always consult the manufacturer when using the boiler at more than 2000 meters
above sea level.
▪ Always keep the air suction opening of the boiler free from dust.
▪ The boiler room must be at least (mm) high.
2.3.7 Combination with thermal storage
Your S3 Turbo boiler must be installed with a Thermal Storage System. The purpose
of the thermal storage system is to absorb heat produced by the boiler if the building
load cannot use all of the heat being produced. This means that the boiler will be
batch fired. Batch firing requires that the boiler only be loaded with fuel and ignited
when the thermal storage temperature is depleted adequately so that it can absorb the
energy produced from the next fire. There may be some instances when the heating
load will use all of the heat being produced by the boiler. In such cases, the boiler may
be loaded continuously.
Your boiler is equipped with a timer that provides feedback about how many hours of
run time (active burning) or slumber time (boiler is stopped because no heat is being
taken from it) are accumulating. Slumber hours should be minimized as much as pos‐
sible. If you find slumber hours increasing, it is likely that you are over-filling the boiler
with wood and it is cycling on and off rather than having continuous run times.
Over filling the boiler may result in corrosion of the firebox wall, damage to the com‐
bustion chamber, damage to the firebox aprons, soot accumulation in the heat ex‐
change and dirty emissions.
Your thermal storage system may require periodic maintenance. Please review the
periodic maintenance requirements of your thermal storage system with your installer.
2.3.8 Return temperature control
It is recommended you fit a return temperature control when installing the heating sys‐
tem. If the hot water return is below the minimum return temperature, some of the hot
water outflow will be mixed in via the return temperature control.
NOTICE
Risk of dropping below dew point/condensation formation if operated without return
temperature control.
The manufacturer stipulates using a return temperature control. The minimum return
temperature is 140°F (60°C). It is recommended you fit some kind of control device
(e.g. thermometer). The controller of the return temperature control can be integrated
in the boiler controller.
❒ Condensation water forms an aggressive condensate when combined with com‐
bustion residue, leading to damage to the boiler. If the outside temperature is low,
condensation water can freeze at the chimney outlet, which can result in inade‐
quate chimney escape, limited boiler output and a system breakdown.

2.3.9 Requirements for the chimney connection
The chimney connection must be big enough to channel flue gases from the building.
The whole flue gas system must be designed to prevent possible seepage, insufficient
feed pressure and condensation.
The manufacturer recommends fitting a draft regulator to limit the pressure to 0.12
inch WC (30 Pa). The draft regulator should be fitted directly on the chimney connec‐
tion where the pressure is very low.
The boiler must be connected to a brick chimney or a shop-made chimney in accord‐
ance with UL 103 HT (ULC S629 in Canada). The chimney must be clean and in good
condition at the time of installation.
The pipe unions within the chimney must be made of stainless special steel (with 304,
316 or 321 alloys). The flue gas connection pipe must be made of untreated steel or
stainless steel with a thickness of 24 Gauge. The minimum rise of the pipe must be ¼"
per foot for the progression towards the chimney. The chimney and the flue gas con‐
nection pipe must have a diameter of at least 6" (150 mm). The individual pipe sec‐
tions must be joined together with at least three self-tapping screws and the joins
sealed using high-temperature silicone. The flue gas pipe must not contain more than
two 90° bends.
All connections must conform to NFPA 211. Consult your local chimney sweep for the
installation and install the boiler in accordance with the applicable local regulations.
The chimney connection, ventilation ducts and fresh air openings must not be closed
over or blocked.
The flue gas pipe must not be displaced by an attic, loft, fuel store or similar areas.
