3.2 General Boiler Operation
The boiler is operated from the Ufly controller. The Boiler Control Manager (BCM) is used for
Modbus communication as well as backup operation. The boiler management logic automatically
fires the maximum number of simultaneously operating heating elements in order to maximize heat
production and overall efficiency. Burner efficiency and a high heat exchange between surfaces
contribute to the reliable and efficient output power. The various components are designed to work
together so that operating time is shared equally among the components, thus reducing
maintenance and labor costs.
The hot water moved by the pump is pushed to the return of the primary flow of the hydraulic
separator. From here a second pump will distribute the hot water to the various destinations. The
cooled return water is drawn by the pump through the hydraulic separator to resume the cycle via
the boiler.
W A R N I N G !
If installing to an outdoor location where freezing temperatures may occur, it is necessary to install
devices and/or materials to prevent any freezing in the condensate drain and the Flow and Return
manifolds. Failure to do so may cause serious damage to the equipment.
3.3 Boiler Freeze Protection
Should the boiler water outlet temperature decrease to less than 44.6°F (7°C), the system pump
will start, and all heat modules will start at minimum output until the minimum setpoint (BCM
Parameter 31) is reached. This protection device is exclusively for the boiler. For the protection of
the whole system, a second freeze protection thermostat is necessary to switch on the heating
system pump.
NOTE:
If glycol is used as antifreeze in the boiler, a back-flow preventer must be installed in the
make-up/fill line.
