WARNING
Failure to install a hot water tempering (mixing)
valve (12) creates a scalding hazard with potential for
serious bodily injury. Some brands of tempering
(mixing) valves are not designed as anti-scald valves.
Where domestic water is supplying multiple
apartments or large whirlpool tubs, an additional
storage tank may be connected as shown in Figure 17.
The bronze circulator shown must be connected to the
tank aquastat and must not run continuously. If the
circulator is wired to run continuously, the unit’s
domestic water flow switch will keep the unit in
domestic water priority, and no water will be allowed
to be sent to the heating system.
Where domestic water is supplying a
recirculating loop, pipe per Figure 18. If the circulator
is wired to run continuously, the unit’s domestic water
flow switch will keep the unit in domestic water
priority, and no water will be sent to the heating
system. Wire the loop’s circulator through an aquastat
to maintain domestic water priority, while still
allowing the heating systems to function properly.
3.3 Anti-Freeze — Domestic Water
Endurance EBP units use a flat plate heat
exchanger to heat domestic (potable) water indirectly.
Endurance units are equipped with a Low
Temperature control feature that recognizes when the
boiler water temperature (not the domestic/potable
water temperature) has fallen below 39° (4°C). If this
condition is recognized, the Endurance pump will run
for 5 minutes, or until the boiler water temperature
reaches 45°F (7°C). If the boiler water temperature
remains below 45°F (7°C) for 5 minutes, the appliance
will start its ignition sequence, in hopes of firing, and
heating the boiler water. The display will show [ICE]
during this time.
This feature is intended to assist in protecting the
boiler from freezing conditions, and does not help to
protect any other part of the boiler or water heater
system. This feature will not help to protect the
domestic (potable) water in the system from freezing
conditions.
Caution
Power outage, interruption of gas supply, failure of
system components, activation of safety devices,
etc., may prevent a heater from firing.
Any time a
heater is subjected to freezing conditions, and
the heater is not able to fire, and/or the water is
not able to circulate, there is a risk of freezing in
the heater or in the pipes in the system.
When
water freezes, it expands. This can result in
bursting of pipes in the system, or damage to the
heater, which could result in leaking or flooding
conditions.
SECTION 4.
Hydronic Heat Piping
4.1 Hydronic Piping
The appliance incorporates its own circulating
pump and bypass loop and is capable of providing
flow through heating zones, in addition to what it
needs for itself. Model size 110 is capable of providing
flow for two heating zones (up to 67 feet of ¾"
baseboard each), and model 175 is capable of
providing flow for four heating zones (up to 67 feet of
¾" baseboard, each).
