Flow limits
RTC
boilers does not require a minimum flow rate in order to maintain warranty. The boiler has been designed to operate with a tem-
perature difference between the supply and return of up to 100 °F. Flow should be initiated with the start of the burner to minimize
temperature fluctuations and control deviations. The field installed manual reset high limit (as required by CSD-1) must be fitted to the
instrument tapping of the heating supply, set to 210°F and electrically connected into the Control unit or the burner enable/disable
circuit directly.
RTC
boilers can operate with zero flow, but this condition is not recommended for long time to avoid over-temperatures.
It is recommended a minimum flow only to have heat transfer and a maximum flow, to prevent erosion.

Requisiti qualitativi dell'acqua
Si consiglia di utilizzare acqua come agente termico nell'impianto
di riscaldamento. Si deve inoltre prevedere un impianto di tratta-
mento chimico dell'acqua.
La qualità dell'acqua impiegata nell'impianto di riscaldamento
deve essere conforme ai seguenti parametri:

NOTICE:
If it proves impossible to treat the heating system water
supply properly because the water charging system is
automatic and uncontrolled, if there are no barriers
installed to prevent water oxygenation and if the heating
system includes an open expansion vessel, then the
boiler itself must be separated from the heating system by
means of a heat exchanger.
Se la durezza dell'acqua di partenza supera il valore indicato in
tabella si deve utilizzare un impianto di addolcimento dell'acqua.

NOTICE:
− Chemical products used for water treatment must be com-
patible with applicable water pollution laws.
− Provided they are properly applied, these laws guarantee
the safe functioning of the heating system.
2.6.4
Central heating system
Possible causes for corrosion and limescale
Typical problems encountered in central heating systems include:
− the breakage of heated surfaces through overheating cau-
sed by the thermal insulation of limescale deposits on the
water side
− oxygen corrosion
− deposit corrosion
− stray current corrosion
− diffused and localized acid corrosion.
The technical details provided in this section refer specifically to
domestic and industrial hot water heating systems with working
temperatures up to 210°F (99°C).
2.6.5
New central heating systems
Mistakes to avoid and precautions.
To eliminate contact between system water and the air, the fol-
lowing is required:
− ensure that the expansion vessel is a closed vessel, and
of the correct size and pre-charge pressure (the pressure
should be checked periodically)
− ensure that the system is always kept at a pressure hi-
gher than atmospheric pressure at all points (including the
pump suction side) and at all operating conditions (preci-
sely because the seals, gaskets and joints in a water circuit
are designed to resist pressure from within, but not to resist
a vacuum within)
− ensure that no part of the system is made from materials
that are permeable to gases (e.g. plastic pipes with no oxy-
gen barrier used in floor heating systems).
9
NOTICE:
The original system filling water and any topping up water
must always be filtered (using synthetic or metal mesh
filters with a filtration rating of no less than 50 microns)
to prevent sludge from forming and triggering deposit
induced corrosion.
