3.1 Installation standards
This ALTAIR boiler must be installed
in compliance with current laws and
standards, which are taken as being
an integral part of this booklet.
3.2 Installation
3.2.1 Packaging
ALTAIR boilers are supplied packed
in a strong cardboard box on a woo-
den pallet. On removing the card-
board box, make sure that the boiler
is complete.
The packing materials can be recy-
cled. Dispose of them via specific
waste collection sites.
Keep the packing out of the reach
of children, as, by its very nature, it
may constitute a source of danger.
The producer accepts no
responsibility for damage to peo-
ple, animals, or property due to
failure to observe the instruction
above.
The pack contains a packet in which
you will find the installation, opera-
tion, and maintenance manual.
3.2.2 Choosing where to install
the boiler
The following must be taken into
account when choosing where to
install the boiler:
• It is advisable to leave at least 50
cm on each side of the boiler to faci-
litate future maintenance.
• Do not install in damp or dusty
rooms.
• The boiler room must not be acces-
sible to outsiders, children, or ani-
mals.
3.2.3 Installing the boiler
Before connecting the boiler to the
piping for the hot water and heating
systems, clean the piping carefully to
eliminate any metal residue left
during working and welding, and any
oil or grease that may be left and that
could damage the boiler or alter its
operation if it reaches the boiler.
NB: Do not use solvents, as these
could damage the components.
The producer accepts no respon-
sibility for damage to people, ani-
mals, or property due to failure to
observe the instructions above.
To install the boiler proceed as follows:
• Remove the galvanised plate on
the lower back part of the boiler.
• Unscrew the four screws which
block the brackets fixing the boiler to
the timber pallet (Fig. 5)
• Remove the boiler from the pallet
without damaging it.
• Put spacers between the floor and
the boiler’s feet if necessary, to make
the installation stable.
• Connect the boiler to the system’s
delivery and return pipes.
•
Remember that the plumbing
system must include all the safety and
control elements required in terms of
current standards (safety valve, water
pressure switch, heat discharge valve,
pressure gauge, etc.).
• Couple the boiler to the flue.
• Connect to the electrical system of
the boiler: the ambient thermostat,
the heating pump, and the heating
water pressure switch.
• Connect to the electrical mains.
3.2.4 Ventilation of boiler rooms
ALTAIR boilers have open combu-
stion chambers and are designed for
being connected to a smoke flue.
The combustion-supporting air is
drawn
directly from the room in
which the boiler is installed.
It is obligatory that the boiler be
installed in an adequate room in
terms of the current standard,
which
is taken as an integral part of this
booklet.
3.2.5 Smoke chimney system
The ALTAIR boilers have a smoke
flue coupling that is suitable for con-
necting to a smoke chimney with a
diameter as specified in the techni-
cal data tables.
Current standards must be complied
with when discharging smoke into
the atmosphere, and
these stan-
dards are taken as being an inte-
gral part of this booklet.
The smoke ducts from the boiler are
to be connected to a smoke flue for-
med as indicated in current stan-
dards,
which are taken as being an
integral part of this booklet.
The following obligatory require-
ments for smoke flues and smoke
ducts must be kept in mind:
• They are to be of a diameter not
less than that on the boiler outlet.
• They are to be made of impermea-
ble material that can withstand the
smoke temperature and related acid
condensate.
• They are to have low thermal con-
ductivity, sufficient mechanical
strength, be properly sealed, and of a
calculated height and cross-section.
• The vertical inclination (smoke flue
pipe) and section are to be constant,
without any bottlenecks.
• Where horizontal flues sections
have to be used, these must be at an
incline of at least 5%.
• The end of the flue pipe is to be
such that it can ensure efficient, con-
stant evacuation of smoke under any
weather conditions.
• The end section of the flue pipe is
to be at least 0,5 m above any adja-
cent structure within a 5 m radius.
