1.1
General installation information and advice may be obtained
from the Oil Firing Technical Association for the Petroleum
Industry (OFTEC). Training courses are also offered by OFTEC,
leading to inclusion on their list of registered engineers.
1.2
The appliance should be installed by a competent person. The
person installing the appliance should be aware of the Health and
Safety at Work Act and take appropriate action to ensure that the
regulations are adhered to. In order to give optimum efficiency
and trouble free operation the appliance should be commissioned
by a qualified engineer. OFTEC recommends the use of registered
engineers for the commissioning of oil-fired burners.
1.3
The manufacturers notes must not be taken, in any way, as
overriding statutory obligations.
1.4
The compliance with a British Standard does not, of itself,
confer immunity from legal obligations. In particular the
installation of this appliance must be in accordance with the
relevant requirements of the following British Standards and
regulations in respect of the safe installation of equipment.
BS 5410: part 1& 2: Code of practice for Oil Fired Boilers.
BS 799: part 5: Specification for Oil Storage Tanks.
BS 7593: Code of Practice for treatment of water in domestic hot
water central heating systems.
BS 5449: part 1: Specification for forced circulation hot water
central heating for domestic premises.
BS 5955: part 8: Specification for the installation of
thermoplastic pipes and associated fittings for use in domestic
hot and cold water services and heating systems.
BS 7291: Thermoplastic pipes and associated fittings for hot and
cold water for domestic purposes and heating installations in
buildings.
BS 7074: part 1: Application, selection and installation of
expansion vessels and ancillary equipment for sealed water
systems.
BS 7671: IEE Wiring Regulations, current edition.
The Building Regulations Part J and L1 England and Wales; Part F
and Part J Section III Scotland; Part L and Part F Northern Ireland.
Local water company bye-laws.
The Control of Pollution (Oil) Regulations.
1.5
To ensure that the installation will perform to the highest
standards, the system and components should conform to those
mentioned in the instructions.
The
Benchmark
initiative is the new code of practice to
encourage the correct installation, commissioning and servicing
of domestic central heating boilers and system equipment.
The 'Log-book' is a vital document that must be completed
by the installer at the time of installation. It confirms that the
boiler has been installed and commissioned according to the
manufacturers instructions.
Without the completion of the Log-book, manufacturers may refuse
to respond to a call-out from a householder, who will be advised
that he or she must call back the installer, who has not fulfilled his
obligations to record the information required by the initiative.
It is important that:
The services and the system are properly flushed as specified.
The User is clearly instructed on the correct operation of the
appliance.
The benefits of regular servicing are explained - to maintain the
efficiency and extend the life of the appliance.
2.1
These instructions cover both conventional flue (CF) and
room sealed balanced flue (RS) appliances.
2.2
The Worcester Danesmoor range of appliances covered in
these instructions has been designed to serve domestic central
heating and hot water requirements ranging from 12kW to
25kW.
2.3
The RS balanced flue appliance forms a fully room sealed
system by supplying air to the burner through a flexible tube.
The sealed burner alleviates the need for an air brick to be locat-
ed in the boiler room.
Because the balanced flue system does not rely on the cabinet
panels to form the room seal, combustion readings can be taken
from the flue outlet plate as on a conventional appliance, and
the cabinet panels can be easily removed during installation
thereby preventing any damage.
2.4
The boiler is factory set to the mid-range output and can be
altered, if necessary, by adjusting the burner as specified in
Tables 2 and 3. The room sealed 12/18 and 18/25 models are
only suitable for use with 28 second kerosene heating oil.
NOTE: It is a mandatory requirement of the building
regulations that only 28 second kerosene is used on low level
discharge flues.
2.5
The conventional flue 12/18 and 18/25 models may be con-
verted to burn 35 second gas oil by changing the nozzle and
burner settings as specified in Tables 2 and 3.
2.6
A colour co-ordinated twin channel programmer can be fit-
ted to the appliance fascia panel. This is available from
Worcester, Bosch Group as an optional extra.
