WESSEX 220 M

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 This boiler must be installed by a competent person
holding 'CORGI' registration or equivalent. All
installations MUST conform to the relevant Gas Safety
and Building Regulations. Health & Safety
requirements must also be taken into account when
installing any equipment. Failure to comply with the
above may lead to prosecution.
1.2 This boiler is intended for use on Group H Natural
Gas (2nd Family) and LPG-Propane (3rd Family). The
information relating to propane firing is to be found in
Appendix ‘A’. Boilers MUST NOT use gas other than
that for which they are designed and adjusted.
1.3 The Wessex 220 M is a gas fired, fully modulating,
fan assisted, open flued central heating / hot water
boiler. Using the latest gas / air ratio control technology
it is able to provide clean efficient operation across a
large output range. The boiler can be supplied in a
modular format, a maximum of three vertically stacked
modules being arranged into a single unit sharing a
common flue
1.3.1 Each boiler module utilises a metal fibre, fan
assisted, pre-mix burner. Operation is initiated by a full
sequence ignition control that incorporates a Hot
Surface Ignition system and rectification supervision of
the flame.
1.3.2 Each of the boiler models is designed for direct
connection to a flue system. The Technical Data for the
various arrangements is given in Section 2. The flue
outlets from more than one unit may be connected to a
single chimney. No draught diverter is fitted to the boiler
nor is a fixed diverter required in the flue system.
However a draught stabiliser is recommended for some
installations.
1.3.3 The Wessex 220 M is floor mounted and is
intended for the heating of Commercial and Industrial
premises. It may also be used to supply hot water for
these premises via an indirect cylinder.
1.3.4 The Wessex 220 M has a low water content and
water flow rates MUST be maintained at or above the
recommended levels shown in Section 8 and Figure
2.2.
1.4 If the boiler is to be connected to an un-vented
(pressurised) heating system, care must be taken to
ensure all extra safety requirements are satisfied and
that the relevant interlocks will shut the boiler(s) off
should a high or low pressure fault occur.
The pressurisation unit must also incorporate a low level
water switch which protects the water pumps and will
directly or indirectly shut down the boiler plant should a
low water condition occur. Consideration should also
be given to the maximum working pressure of the boiler
as given in Section 2: TECHNICAL DATA. Consult
Hamworthy Heating Technical Department for help or
assistance if in doubt.
1.5 The Wessex 220 M boiler is not suitable for direct
connection to domestic hot water supplies.
1.6 The Wessex 220 M boiler can be installed with
either reverse return water flow, (optional kits available)
or with single pipe headers, (non HHL supply).See
Figure 1.1. for typical schematic layout.
BOILER VARIATIONS
Wessex 220 M220 - Single 220 kW unit.
Wessex 220 M440 - Single 440 kW unit created by
stacking 2 – 220 kW modules vertically.
Wessex 220 M660 - Single 660 kW unit created by
stacking 3 – 220 kW modules vertically.
1.7 The fully assembled unit is supplied covered with a
protective sleeve. The flue assemblies for the M440 and
M660 models are supplied in a separate pack.
1.8 Options
1.8.1 Optional reverse return header kits are available
for models M440 and M660. These kits are free-
standing allowing installation to the system prior to
installing the boiler and can incorporate all necessary
valves, inter connecting pipework, and flexible flow and
return connections. Refer to individual kit instructions for
details.
1.8.2 Milton boiler sequence control system for timed
remote control of single and multiple modulating boilers,
with outside temperature compensation and optimised
start. Refer to Milton kit instructions for details.
1.8.3 Sequencing Interface Module – Hamworthy
Heating can supply an interface module fitted within the
boiler module control panel to enable the remote fully
modulating control of the boiler module via a 0-10V
analogue control signal from a non-HHL control system.
An interface module will be required for each boiler
module, and a 0-10V control signal will be required for
each boiler module. Refer to sections 8.12 and 9.3 for
further details.
