3. INSTALLATION REGULATIONS
Installation of the product and auxiliary equipment in relation to the heating system must comply with all current Standards and Regulations
and to those envisioned by the law.
The installation and the relating to the connections of the system, the commissioning and the check of the correct functioning must
be carried out in compliance with the regulations in force by authorised professional personnel with the requisites required by the law,
being national, regional, provincial or town council present in the country within which the appliance is installed, besides these present
instructions.
Installation must be carried out by authorised personnel who must provide the buyer with a system declaration of conformity and will
assume full responsibility for final installation and as a consequence the correct functioning of the installed product.
Before installing the appliance, carry out the following checks:
• Make sure that the floor can support the weight of the appliance, and if it is made of flammable material, provide suitable insulation
(
DIMENSIONS ACCORDING TO REGIONAL REGULATIONS
).
• Make sure that there is adequate ventilation in the room where the appliance is to be installed, with particular attention to windows
and doors with tight closing (seal ropes).
• Do not install the appliance in rooms containing collective ventilation ducts, hoods with or without extractor, type B gas appliances,
heat pumps, or other appliances that, operating at the same time, can put the room in depression (ref.
UNI
10683
standard
)
• Make sure that the flue and the pipes to which the appliance will be connected are suitable for its operation.
It is not allowed the
connection of various appliances to the same chimney
.
• The diameter of the opening for connection to the chimney must at least correspond to the diameter of the flue gas pipe. The opening
must be equipped with a wall connection for the insertion of the exhaust pipe and a rosette.
• The unused flue gas exhaust stub pipe must be covered with its respective cap (see chapter TECHNICAL DATA SHEETS).
• The installation must be appropriate and has to allow the cleaning and maintenance of the product and the flue.
Before installation, accurately wash the pipes of the system in order to remove any residuals that could compromise the correct functioning
of the appliance.
IMPORTANT
:
a) It would be appropriate to install an automatic or manual air valve to allow the air outlet from the plumbing system;
b) In case of water leaking, close the water supply and promptly warn the after sales technical service;
c) The system working pressure must periodically be checked.
d) If not using the boiler for a long period of time, it is recommended that the after sales technical service is contacted to carry out at least
the following operations:
• close the water taps of both the thermal system and the domestic hot water system;
• empty the thermal system and the domestic hot water system if there is risk of freezing.
The
DSA
thermo appliances, can be installed in both an OPEN expansion Tank system (see chapter
) and a CLOSED expansion Tank
system (see chapter
).
La NORDICA S.p.A. declines all responsibility for damage to things and/or persons caused by the system. In addition, it is not
responsible for any product modified without authorisation and even less for the use of non original spare parts.
Your regular local chimney sweep must be informed about the installation of the appliance so that he can check the correct connection to
the chimney.
3.1. OPEN expansion Tank system
It is
COMPULSORY
that the OPEN expansion Tank system is provided with:
1. OPEN EXPANSION Tank
: which has a capacity of 10% of total water content of thermo-product and of the installation. This is
installed at the highest point of the system, at least 2 m over the radiator that is at the highest level.
2. SAFETY PIPE
: that connects through the shortest way, without descending or siphoning parts, the delivery of thermo-product to
the upper side of open expansion tank.
ATTENTION
: The inside diameter of the supply pipe which connects the thermoproduct with
the open expansion vessel must be equal to the internal diameter of the supply junction present in the thermoproduct. The above
mentioned connection pipe must be without siphoning parts.
3. LOAD PIPE
: which connects the bottom of open expansion tank with the return pipe of installation. The minimum diameter must
be ¾” gas. All those parts must no have for any reason meditate intercept bodies that could accidentally exclude them and must be
placed in rooms which are protected from frost. On the contrary, if they freeze, the boiler body could break or even explode. In case
of frost placing it will be right to add a proper percentage of antifreeze liquid to the water of installation in order to delete the whole
problem. In no way there must be water circulation in the open expansion tank between the safety and loading pipe. This would cause
the water oxygenation and the consequent corrosion of thermo-product and installation in a very short time.
4.
THERMAL DISCHARGE VALV
E
which is a further
positive
safety that prevents the boiling even when electric
energy is missing. It is made by a valve cover like a pressure safety valve which differs from it as it opens by reaching a pre-calibrated
temperature (normally at 94 – 95°C) and unload hot water from the installation delivery. This will be replaced with as much cold water
coming from the open expansion tank loading pipe of open tank by draining away the excessive heat.
5. SAFETY VALVE FROM 1,5 bar
: maximum operation pressure allowed for the system is 1,5 bar (equal to 15 m of the water column).
Higher pressures can cause deformation and breakage of the boiler body.
6. SAFETY DEVICES
envisioned by Regulations in vigour.
7. CIRCULATION PUMP
: . It would be better to install it on the return in order to avoid that it could disconnect itself at very high water
temperatures but checking that it does not drive water in the open expansion tank otherwise it should cause a continuous water
oxygenation with consequent, fast corrosion of boiler body. It must be not to avoid a forced circulation in the open expansion tank.
Furthermore it must be electrically connected to a thermostat or a electronic control unit that can be purchased with the thermo-
fireplace as
OPTIONAL
part.
