Adequate Installation Clearances Clean, Debris and Chemical-free Combustion Air Do not install the boiler in areas where dust and debris may accumulate or where hair sprays, spray detergents, chlorine, CAUTION or similar chemicals are used. Do not install the boiler in areas where petrol or other Do not install the boiler on carpet mmables are used or stored.
Any pipes exposed to the elements or which could freeze old and new, must be cleaned to remove flux, grease and in winter must be insulated with suitable insulating carbon residue. Navien recommends cleaning the boiler material. system with cleaning products specially formulated for boiler systems.
4.1.1 Guidelines for a Central Heating Installation Read and follow the guidelines listed below to ensure safe and The fire-tube type heat exchanger of the Navien LCB700 boiler is proper installation of a boiler heating system. designed to attain the highest level of heat transfer in a compact design.
Page 22
Pressure Relief Valve WARNING The requirements recommended for the pressure relief valve are as follows: Immediately repair any leaks in the system plumbing to avoid adding make-up water. Make-up water adds The pressure relief valve is calibrated to be activated at a oxygen and minerals to the system that may lead to heat maximum pressure of 3 bar, and all the pipes and connections must therefore be able to withstand pressures of up to 3 bar.
4.1.4 Water Quality Standards for Appliance Quality Assurance CAUTION The water supplied to the boiler must satisfy the water quality If the water supplied to the boiler does not satisfy the water requirements on the following table. quality requirements, contact an authorised technician or licensed professional to avoid product malfunctions due to poor water quality before supplying water to the boiler.

5.3 Oil Supply Single Pipe Gravity Feed System The oil storage tank must be positioned so that the oil level does not exceed 4 metres above the level of the boiler oil pump and, in addition, the oil level must be at least 300 mm above the oil pump. Where the maximum oil level in the oil storage tank exceeds 4 metres, a head breaking device must be installed between the tank and the boiler oil pump.
Page 31
Double Pipe Sub-Gravity Feed System With the storage tank outlet below the burner, a two pipe system should be used. The return pipe should be at the same level in the tank as the supply pipe, both being 75 to 100 mm above the base of the tank. The pipe ends should be a sufficient distance apart so as to prevent any sediment from being disturbed by the return entering the supply pipe.
Page 32
Single Pipe Suction Lift with De-Aerator System When the storage tank is below the burner, an alternative to a two pipe system can be achieved using an oil de-aerator. This effectively removes the air from the oil supply on a single pipe lift. The maximum suction height 3.5 metres.
