Domestic water supply characteristics
The cold water inlet pressure must be lower than 6 Bar.
Besides, for an optimal boiler functioning, wa-
ter pressure
should be more than 1 Bar
. A lower pressure could make difficult to restore correctly the
pressure the heating system.
In case of higher pressure
it is indispensable to install a PRESSURE REDUCER
upstream the
boiler�
The cleaning frequency of the storage coil depends on the water supply hardness.
If the water hard
-
ness is more than 25° fr it’s required to install a softener to bring the hardness below that value.
Besides, the presence of solid residuals or impurities in the water (for example in case of new systems)
could compromise the correct functioning of the boiler. For DHW production systems, the regulation in
force prescribes a safety filter to protect the systems.
Protection against freezing
Thanks to its antifreeze system, inner components could never reach a temperature lower than 5°C. This
system is activated when the boiler is supplied by the electrical and gas lines, provided that the pressure
in the heating system is correct.
If some part(s) of the system external to the boiler (included the primary circuit of the storage
unit and the relevant coil) could be subject to freezing risk, it is advisable to fill the heating
circuit with, instead of water, an antifreeze liquid specific for heating systems, propylenic gly-
col based, following the instructions of its manufacturer. Pay attention to the correct product
concentration: adding those substances to the heating water in incorrect dose could lead to the
deformation of the seals and cause unusual noises during operation.
ITALTHERM S.r.l. will not be held responsible for consequent damages.
Instruct the User about the antifreeze function of the boiler and about the antifreeze product
added in the heating system.
Outdoor installation in a partially protected place
This type of forced draught boiler can be installed
outdoor, but only in partially protected places.
The boiler minimum and maximum working tem-
peratures are mentioned in the paragraph "Tech-
nical data" on page 38 and on the boiler data
plate�
The materials used
for the boiler installation, in-
cluding the devices and/or the materials used for
thermal insulation, should be so to
maintain their
functionality
within the temperature range indi-
cated on the data plate�
If the place
where the boiler is located is converted
from outdoor to indoor
(e.g. veranda) it will
be necessary to
verify the compliance
of the new configuration with the laws and rules in force,
and to make the modifications required.
