Storage Of Vitomax Boilers Prior To Installation As Part Of The Overall Plant - Viessmann VITOMAX 200-LW Installation Instructions Manual

Storage of Vitomax boilers prior to installation as part of the overall plant

Please note
This information applies to boiler storage prior to installation as part of the plant and
must be observed.
■ Vitomax boilers must be stored in
enclosed rooms, free from weather
influences under dry conditions.
■ The room temperature must not fall
below 0 °C or exceed +50 °C.
■ In its delivered condition the boiler is
protected against the ingress of for-
eign matter on the water side with
dummy flanges or caps.
■ Remove the shipping packaging to
prevent the formation of condensate.
To prevent corrosion in the non-pressur-
ised state, observe the following if the
boiler is stored for > 4 weeks:
■ Protect the interior of the boiler against
moisture on the flue gas side and on
the DHW side with a desiccant, e.g.
silica gel.
■ The amount of desiccant depends on
the boiler volume.
■ Check the effectiveness of the desic-
cant regularly.
Note
Observe the desiccant manufacturer's
instructions.
■ Ensure that the desiccant does not
come into contact with the boiler mate-
rial (e.g. by suspended fixings).
■ Preserve the dry flue gas side with a
thin film of graphite or boiled oil.
■ Instead of the moisture extraction on
the flue gas side by means of a desic-
cant, a dryer with air circulation can
also be connected.
