  • Page 12: Clearances

    CLEARANCES The location chosen for the equipment must permit the provision for a satisfactory flue system and, where necessary, an adequate air supply. The location must also provide adequate space for servicing and air circulation around each unit. This includes any electrical trunking laid across the floor and to the appliance.
  • Page 13: General Requirements

    GENERAL REQUIREMENTS The Lochinvar EcoShield™ condensing water heater has been designed to operate trouble free for many years. These instructions should be followed closely to obtain the maximum usage and efficiency of the equipment. READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTIONS Read and fully understand all instructions before attempting to operate maintain or install the unit.
  • Page 14: Water Quality

    The Water Resources Act requires that trade effluent is discharged to municipal sewers between pH 6.5 and 10.0. If it is determined that these levels cannot be achieved, an in-line condensate neutralisation kit is available from Lochinvar Limited. This unit is capable of neutralising 4000...
  • Page 15: Gas Supply

    GAS SUPPLY The Lochinvar EcoShield™ range is suitable for use on second and third family gasses 2H - G20 - 20mbar and 3P - G31 - 37mbar. Details relating to Natural Gas (2H) appear below; for details relating to Propane (3P) please refer to Section 16.0 LPG FUEL.
  • Page 16: Flue System

    Aluminium flue pipe must not be used on this appliance as it may lead to premature failure of the heat exchanger and will invalidate the warranty. Before installation of any flue system read the installation manual carefully for both the appliance and flue system to be used. Information on the flue system Supplied by Lochinvar can be found within this manual.

  • Page 38: Air Supply

    11.0 AIR SUPPLY The following information is based on single water heater installations only. If more than one water heater is being used, BS6644 should be consulted to calculate the necessary requirements. 11.1 COMBUSTION VENTILATION When used as a Type C appliance, provided sufficient clearance is provided, ventilation for combustion is not necessary as the combustion air is ducted directly from outside.
  • Page 39: Water Connections

    OPEN VENTED SYSTEM ARRANGEMENT The Lochinvar EcoShield™ can be used in an open vented arrangement provided that a vent pipe in accordance with CP 342, BS6644 or BS6700 as appropriate is fitted. The minimum static head requirement for an open vented system is 1.0 bar.
  • Page 40: Unvented System Arrangement

    It is the law that unvented hot water systems be installed by an approved installer. If the Lochinvar EcoShield™ is to be used in an unvented arrangement, the system should follow the guidance given in BS6700 and must comply with the Building Regulations 1992: Part G3, in England and Wales,P5 in Northern Ireland and P3 in Scotland. A kit of components that have been suitably sized for the unvented operation of the appliance is available from Lochinvar Limited.
  • Page 41 TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE A temperature and pressure relief valve is factory fitted as part of the unvented water system kit. This valve has a lift pressure of 7 bar and a lift temperature of 90°C. This should be checked for transit damage prior to filling the water heater. The storage vessel relief valve connection should not be used for any other purpose.
  • Page 42: Electrical Supply

    The WH19/WH21 unvented kit supplied with the EcoShield™ water heater includes an expansion vessel, this should be checked by the installer to ensure there is sufficient spare capacity available for the Hot water secondary system volume.

  • Page 50 5. If the control does not detect flame by the end of the trial for ignition, the control performs a 10 second post-purge. On the SHW35 CE to SHW116 CE models, the control will perform another pre-purge and try to light the burner again. If the burner does not light after 4 trials, the control will lockout for 1 hour and then try another set of 4 trials.
