1.1.9. HYDRAULIC CONNECTION
DANGER
Make sure that the tubes of the water and
heating plant are not used as grounding system for
the electrical plant. There are not suitable for such
use.
WARNING
To prevent voiding the warranty and to
ensure the proper operation of the boiler, please
wash the plant (if possible when hot) with suitable
pickling or descaling solutions in order to remove the
impurities coming from tubes and radiators.
WARNING
If the boiler is installed in a hydrostatic
position lower than those of the user devices
(radiators, fan coils, etc.), mount the shut-off valves
on the domestic water heating circuit to ease the
performance of the maintenance operations if it is
necessary only to empty the boiler.
WARNING
When connecting the equipment to
water supply, avoid excessive bending and recovery
operations from any off axis positioning that may
damage the tubes causing leaks, malfunction or
early wear.
WARNING
In order to avoid any vibrations and noises,
do not use tubes with small diameters or elbows with
small radius and significant cut-off of the passage
sections.
WARNING
Connect the boiler safety drains to a
discharge funnel. The manufacturer is not responsible
for any floods due to safety valve opening in case of
plant overpressure.
DOMESTIC CIRCUIT
In order to prevent limestone build-up and damages
to the domestic water heat exchanger, the hardness
of the domestic supply water should not exceed 15
°f. However, please check the characteristics of the
water used and install suitable treating devices.
The heat exchanger coil cleaning frequency
depends on the hardness of the supply water and on
the presence of solid residues or impurities inside
the water that are often present in case of recently
installed plants. Based on the characteristics of
the infeed water, you should install suitable water
treating devices, for residues presence please
install a line filter.
The pressure of the cold infeed water should be
between 0.5 and 6 bar. In case of greater pressure
values, please install a pressure reducer upstream
from the boiler.
HEATING CIRCUIT
In order to avoid any scale or deposits on the
primary exchanger, the hardness of the heating
circuit infeed water should not exceed 25 °f.
However, please check the characteristics of the
water used and install suitable treating devices.
This treatment is mandatory if frequent episodes
of return water or partial or total emptying of the
plant occur.
WARNING
In case the boiler is installed as part of
a low temperature circuit, please install a safety
thermostat on the heating flow, which can stop
the boiler activity in case of high heating flow
temperature. The company assumes no liability for
damage caused to persons or for failure to comply
with these instructions.

1.1.10. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
WATER OF THE SYSTEM
For a correct operation of the system, it is
necessary to make sure that:
1. The system does not present losses or that the
most obvious are at least eliminated;
2. If an automatic filling system is present, a litre
meter must be installed in order to precisely know
the extent of any losses;
3. The filling in of the system and the top ups are
performed with softened water in order to reduce
the total hardness. The water must also be treated
in order to maintain the pH within the provided
threshold so as to avoid corrosion phenomena.
4. Either on new systems or on replacements, the
system must be fitted with efficient systems which
ensure the elimination of the air and impurities:
Y filters, micro impurity separators and micro
bubbles of air separators;
5. Avoid draining the water of the system during the
routine maintenance even if it is about apparently
insignificant quantities: for example, in order to
clean the filters, provide the system with adequate
shut-off valves;
6. Always perform an analysis of the water of
the system before opening the communication
between the new generator and the system, in
order to establish if the parameters present in the
water indicate the need to fully drain the system,
to use the water already present in the system or
to chemically wash the system using utility water
adding a detergent when it is suspected that the
system might be dirty or particularly clogged and
at the next loading with new treated water.
Water treatment
In order to preserve the integrity of the water-
fume exchanger and to guarantee optimal thermal
exchanges, it is necessary that the water of the
primary circuit, circulating inside the exchanger of
the condensate boiler, has the characteristics defined
and constant in time. To obtain this, it is fundamental
to perform a series of system preparation and
maintenance operations such as:
• washing the system;
• check the characteristics of the water of the
system;
The type of treatment to be performed will be
chosen based on the characteristics of the water
to treat, of the type of system and on the requested
purity limits
Oxygen
A certain amount of oxygen always enters the
system, both during the filling phase and during the
use in case of reintegration or presence of hydraulic
components without oxygen barriers. The reaction
between the oxygen and the stainless steel creates
corrosion and forms sludge. While the water fume
exchanger is made of stainless steel, and therefore
it is not subject to corrosion, the sludge created in
the carbon steel system is deposited in the warm
points, including the exchanger. This has the effect
to reduce the heat capacity and thermally insulate
the active parts of the exchanger, which might
cause damages.
The precautions to limit the phenomena are:
- Mechanical systems: a deaerator combined with
a sludge remover, correctly installed, reduce the
quantity of oxygen circulating inside the system.
- Chemical systems: the additives allow the oxygen
to dissolve in water.

INSTALLER
Hardness
The filling and make-up water hardness brings
a certain amount of limestone into the system.
It attacks the warm parts of the exchanger, thus
creating load losses and thermal insulation losses
on the active parts. This phenomena can cause
damages.
The filling and make-up water of the system, if
it does not fall under the values indicated below,
should be softened. Moreover, additives can be
added in order to maintain the limestone into
the solution. The hardness must be periodically
checked and registered.
Acidity 7 < pH < 8.5
Conductivity < 400 μs/cm (at 25°C)
Chlorides < 125 mg/l
Iron < 0.5 mg/l
Copper < 0.1 mg/l
If the above indicated limits are exceeded, a water
must be chemically treated.
The type of treatment to be performed will be
chosen based on the characteristics of the water
to treat, of the type of system and on the requested
purity limits.

1.1.11. SYSTEM FILLING
WARNING
For system filling use only clean tap
water. In order to prevent limestone build-up and
damages to the domestic water heat exchanger,
the hardness of the domestic supply water
should not exceed 15° Fr. However, please check
the characteristics of the water used and install
suitable treating devices.
WARNING
If the system is filled by adding ethylene
glycol-type chemical agents you have to install on
the loading system a hydraulic trip unit in order
to separate the heating circuit from the domestic
circuit.
Before powering up the boiler, fill the system as
follows:
1. slightly loosen the cap of the jolly valve placed
on the top of the condensing block to release
the air form the top of the system (1-fig.1);
2. check that the jolly valves vent the air present
in the system are not blocked;
3. connect a rubber pipe to the draining tap placed
on top of the condensing heat exchanger (2-
fig.1);
4. open the general domestic water input tap and
load the system by exhaling all the air;
5. use pressure gauge present in the system to
make sure that the system pressure reaches
the design value;
6. after performing this operation, make sure
that the loading tap is properly closed.
7. Open the air relief valves of the radiators and
check the air removal process. When the water
starts to leak close the radiators air relief
valves.
8. If after performing these operations you
observe a decrease of the water pressure
inside the system, open once again the loading
tap until the pressure gauge reaches the
design pressure.

1.1.12. CONDENSATE DRAIN
FILLING THE CONDENSATE DRAIN SIPHON
Before starting the boiler you have to fill the
condensate collection siphon in order to avoid fuel
reflux through the siphon.
Fill the condensate collection siphon as follows:
› Unscrew the screw “P” (fig. 1), extract the siphon
and fill it with water up to the highest point “T”
(fig. 1);
› Connect the adequately prepared flexible
condensate drain tube to a disposal system
(it is necessary to neutralise the condensate
if the material out of which the canal system
where the condensate arrives is composed
presents a corrosion risk; please see paragraph
‘CONDENSATE NEUTRALISER’). The condensate
can be drained directly in the sewerage system
by inserting an easily serviceable siphon.
WARNING
After the first months of operation of the
device, it is recommended to clean the condensate
collection siphon from any deposits deriving
from the first transit of the condensate inside the
technical components of the boiler. Such deposits
might cause a malfunction of the siphon.
CONDENSATE DRAIN
The boiler produces a significant quantity of
condensate during operation. This condensate has
an acid pH of 3-5. Observe the national standard in
force and the local regulations for the disposal of
the condensate produced by the boiler.
The designer, according to the power of the system
and the intended use of the building, is bound to
evaluate the acceptance of systems in order to
neutralise the acid condensate.
The system must be performed so as to avoid the
freezing of the condensate. Before putting into
operation the device, check the correct evacuation
of the condensate.
WARNING
Before connecting the condensate
collection siphon to the drain tube, check that
the slope of the boiler is ensured according to the
indications from chapter ‘INSTALLATION OF THE
BOILER’.
WARNING
Correctly connect the condensate
collection siphon of the boiler to a draining system
by adding the slope to the drain of the condensate
of the fume exhaust duct. Where possible, it is
recommended to perform such connection by
means of a collection glass in order to check the
correct discharge of the condensate avoiding
stagnations that might cause dangerous returns of
the condensate to the boiler.
In order to connect the condensate draining to
the draining system, use only corrosion-resistant
materials with an adequate diameter.

power up to 350 kW (see fig.2). The device allows
neutralising the condensate which is collected
inside the boiler and/or in the fume discharge
systems made of stainless steel, plastic, glass or
ceramic.
Theacidcondensate,insertedintotheneutralisation
box, follows a mandatory path for two phases; the
first one, filtration of nitrates and sulphates by
means of active carbons contained in the first tube
line, in the second one, the pH is increased.
The acidity of the condensate can be checked
by using litmus paper in order to determine the
pH. Then, the neutralised condensate can be
transported into the sewage system.
MAINTENANCE
The pH parameters must be comprised between <
7 and 8.5 >.
Every six months, it is necessary to establish the
PH of the treated condensate inside the neutraliser.
Immerse a litmus paper (or a suitable digital
tool) in the condensate near the tapped draining
connection for about 2 seconds and thus lay it on a
white paper. After about 30 seconds, it is possible
to compare with the coloured scale. The neutral
point is on the value 6.8-7; at a lower value, the
condensate is acid, at a higher value, it is base].
If necessary, replace the active carbon and the
reagent granulate.
