- Should you be required to provide for water tre-
atment, this should be carried out by comple-
tely desalinating the lling water. As opposed
to the complete soening process, desalinating
the water completely not only removes harde-
ning agents (Ca, Mg), but also eliminates all
other minerals to reduce water-lling conduc-
tivity up to 10 microsiemens/cm. Given its low
conductivity, desalinated water does not only
prevent the formation of lime scale, but also
serves as protection against corrosion.
- Insert a suitable inhibitor / passivator (for
example Cillit HS 23 Combi, Fernox MB-1,
Betz Deaborn Sentinel X100, Copal Salaman-
der System Inhibitor); if required, also insert
appropriate antifreeze (such as for example
Cillit CC45).
- Check the electrical conductivity of the water,
which should be 600 µs/cm or less.
- To prevent corrosion, the water system's PH
should be between 7 and 8.5.
- Check the maximum content of chlorides,
which should be less than 250 mg/l.
Note: for quantities and methods of use of
water-treatment products, refer to the instructi-
ons provided by their manufacturer.
1.19 SYSTEM FILLING.
Once the boiler is connected, proceed with sys-
tem lling via the lling cock (Fig. 2-2).
Filling is performed at low speed to ensure rele-
ase of air bubbles in the water via the boiler and
central heating system vents.
e boiler has a built-in automatic venting valve
on the circulator. Check if the cap is loose. Open the
radiator vent valves.
Close radiator vent valves when only water escapes
from them.
Close the lling valve when the boiler pressure
gauge indicates approx. 1.2 bar.
Note:during theseoperations turn on thecirculation
pump at intervals, by means of the stand-by button
located on the control panel. Vent the circulation
pump by loosening the front cap and keeping the
motor running.
Screw the cap back on aer the operation.
1.20 GAS SYSTEM STARTUP.
To start up the system, make reference to the
Standard:
In particular, for new gas systems:
- open windows and doors;
- avoid presence of sparks or naked ames;
- bleed all air from pipelines;
- check that the internal system is properly sealed
according to the regulations in force.
1.17 FLUES, CHIMNEYS AND CHIMNEY
CAPS.
e ues, chimneys and chimney caps for the
evacuation of combustion products must be in
compliance with applicable standards. Chimneys
and roof-installed exhaust terminals must com-
ply with the outlet height and with the distance
from technical volumes set forth by the technical
standards in force.
Positioning the wall ue exhaust terminals. e
wall ue exhaust terminals must:
- be installed on external perimeter walls of the
building;
- be positioned according to the minimum dis-
tances specied in current technical standards.
Combustion products exhaust of natural
draught or fan assisted appliances in open-
top closed environments. In spaces closed on
all sides with open tops (ventilation pits, cour-
tyards etc.), direct combustion product exhaust
is allowed for natural draught or fan assisted gas
appliances with a heat input range from 4 to 35
kW, provided the conditions as per the current
technical standards are respected.
1.18 WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
FILLING.
As already mentioned in the previous paragra-
phs, a treatment of the thermal and domestic
system water is required, in compliance with the
local standards in force.
e parameters that inuence the duration and
proper operation of the heat exchanger are the
water's PH, hardness, conductivity, and oxygen,
together with the system's processing residues
(any welding residues), any oil present and cor-
rosion products that can, in turn, cause damage
to the heat exchanger.
To prevent this:
- Before installation on new systems as well as
old ones, clean the system with clean water to
eliminate solid residues contained therein.
- Clean the system with a chemical treatment:
- clean the old and the new system using a
suitable cleaner (e.g. Idraclean Caldt5, Cillit
HS 23 RS, Fernox Superoc, Betz Deaborn
Sentinel X300/X400, Salamander System
Cleaner) combined with thorough washing.
- Check the maximum hardness and amount of
lling water; if the contents and hardness of the
water are less than 15°F, no specic treatment
is required; otherwise, to limit the content
of calcium carbonate, you must provide for
water-lling treatment.
- For lling, you are not allowed to use water
soened with the use of ionic-exchange resins
or distilled water.
1.14 DUCTING OF FLUES OR
TECHNICAL SLOTS.
Ducting is an operation through which by in-
serting one or more relevant pipes, one achieves
a system for the evacuation of the combustion
products of a gas appliance, consisting in the
combination of an existing or new ducting pipe
with a chimney, ue or technical slot (also in new
buildings). Ducting requires ducts declared to
be suitable for the purpose by the manufacturer,
following the installation and user instructions,
provided by the manufacturer and the require-
ments of the regulations in force.
1.15 CONFIGURATION TYPE B22,
OPEN CHAMBER AND FORCED
DRAUGHT FOR INDOORS.
e appliance can be installed inside buildings in
B22 mode; in this eventuality, all technical rules
and national and local regulations in force, must
be complied with.
- Type B open chamber boilers must not be
installed in places where commercial, artisan
or industrial activities take place, which use
products that may develop volatile vapours
or substances (e.g. acid vapours, glues, paints,
solvents, combustibles, etc.), as well as dusts
(e.g. dust deriving from the working of wood,
coal nes, cement, etc.), which may be dama-
ging for the components of the appliance and
jeopardise functioning.
- in B22 conguration, unless otherwise provided
for by local regulations in force: the boilers
must not be installed in bedrooms, bathrooms
or bedsits. ey must neither be installed in
rooms containing solid fuel heat generators
nor in rooms communicating with said rooms.
- e installation of appliances in B22 congura-
tion is only recommended in places that are not
lived in and which are permanently ventilated.
To install them one must use the cover kit whose
installation is referred to in Paragraph 1.10.
1.16 FLUE EXHAUST TO FLUE/CHIMNEY.
Flue exhaust does not necessarily have to be con-
nected to a branched type traditional ue. e ue
exhaust, for boiler clots installed in C conguration,
can be connected to a special LAS type multiple
ue. For B22 congurations, exhaust is only allo-
wed into individual chimney or directly into the
external atmosphere via a relevant terminal, unless
otherwise provided by local regulations. Multiple
and combined ues must be specially designed
according to the calculation method and requ-
irements of the technical standards in force, by
a professionally qualied company. Chimney or
ue sections for connection of the ue exhaust
pipe must comply with requisites of technical
standards in force.
