PLACE OF INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION IN OLDER SYSTEMS AND SYSTEMS REQUIRING MODERNISATION
RTQ 3S
r
steel boilers must be installed in a
dedicated boiler room, with adequately sized vents, in
compliance with applicable laws and standards.
If at all possible, the boiler should be installed on a raised
base to prevent the burner fan sucking up dust.
b
When installing the boiler, allow sufficient space
around it to access all safety and control devices
and to permit easy maintenance.
b
If the specific weight of the gas supply to the burner
is greater than the specific weight of air, install all
electrical parts at least 500 mm above floor level.
a
Do not install the boiler outdoors. It is not designed
to work outdoors and is not fitted with the necessary
automatic anti-frost systems to do so.
When installing these boilers in old systems or systems
requiring modernisation, always perform the following
checks:
- Make sure that the stack is able to withstand the
temperature of the combustion gases and that it
has been designed and made in compliance with
applicable standards. The stack must also be as
straight as possible, sealed, insulated and not blocked
or choked.
- Make sure that the electrical system has been installed
by a qualified electrician in compliance with applicable
standards.
- Make sure that the oil feed line and any oil storage tank
are made and installed in compliance with applicable
standards.
- Make sure that the expansion vessels are big enough
to contain the volume generated by thermal expansion.
- Make sure that flow rate, head and direction of flow of
the pumps are suitable and correct.
- Make sure that the circuit has been flushed out to
remove all sludge and lime scale, and has been vented
and seal tested.
- Make sure that a suitable water treatment system is
installed if the quality of the supply/recirculation water
so demands. (See page.21).
