5 INSTALLATION OF THE S-FX BOILERS
5.1 General Notes
The S-FX
boiler is mounted on a pallet with a wooden “support” frame around it. The boiler is wrapped in shrink
warp before the wooden support frame is mounted. After the frame is placed the whole pallet, boiler and frame
package is shrink wrapped again.
Only remove this packaging when the boiler has been positioned at the place where it will be installed. After
removing the wrapping and the frame, the boiler can be taken off the pallet using a forklift or another suitable lifting
device.
Positioning
The boiler will now be positioned on the four adjustment bolts.
Ensure the boiler levels in both directions are horizontal by using these four bolts.
5.2 Boiler Room
5.2.1 G
ENERAL
The S-FX range must be installed in a suitable room with ventilation openings direct to outside air in conformity
with the current regulations. If there are several other heat generators that can work together in the same room,
the ventilation openings must be sized to allow all heat generators to operate simultanously.
The place of installation must be free of flammable materials or objects, corrosive gases, powders or voltile
substances. The installation room must be dry and not exposed to rain, snow or frost.
5.2.2 B
OILER ROOM
For the installation of the boiler(s) the following demands regarding the boiler room should be considered:
1.
The radiation losses of the unit are low.
2. The boiler has a built-in fan that will generate noise, depending on the heat demand. The sound emissions
are quite low from the boiler but be aware that some noise is produced.
3. You need a power supply of at least 230V-50 Hz with an earth connection and may need a supply of 400V-
50Hz depending on the pump. We advise to install a separate “safe working switch on which all poles are
switched” externally so one can work on the boiler while having all the wiring free of supply voltage.
4. The air supply of the boiler will be drawn in from the boiler room.
Other considerations related to the boiler location.
•
The ventilation of the boiler room must meet all applicable standards and regulations, regardless of the
selected supply of fresh air to the boiler location.
•
The flue gas tube must be connected to an outside wall or roof duct. The air supply is required to come
from outside into the plant room via correctly sized vents / ducts.
•
The installation area must be dry and frost-free.
•
There must be sufficient lighting available in the boiler room to work safely on the boiler.
•
Mind the positioning of electrical components in relation to the temperature sensitivity.
•
Make sure there is an open connection with the sewer to drain the condensate. This connection should
be lower than the condensate drain level of the boiler.
•
Ensure that the correct space is provided when positioning the boiler for maintenance and replacement of
parts. The recommended minimum clearance is:
- Side clearance: 50 mm
- Front clearance: 500 mm
- Rear clearance: 500 mm
- Above clearance 200 mm
•
Make sure that the floor on which the boiler is placed can hold the weight of the boiler.
The S-FX range is strictley prohibited to be installed outdoors, unless adequately protected against
atmospheric agents.
