Gas Safety Regulations - IDEAL europa 224 Installation And Servicing

INTRODUCTION
europa 224, europa 228 and europa 232 are wall mounted,
low water content, balanced flue combination gas boilers.
Central heating (CH) output and domestic hot water (DHW)
output (on combination versions) are both fully modulating:
--- between 9.10 (31 049) and 24.30 (82 912) kW (btu/h) for
model europa 224;
--- between 11.00 (37 532) and 28.00 (95 536) kW (btu/h) for
model europa 228 .
--- between 12.73 (43 435) and 32.00 (109 184) kW (btu/h) for
model europa 232.
The boilers are suitable for connection to fully pumped,
pressurised sealed water systems ONLY.
A system bypass is not required when TRV' s are fitted to all
radiators (see Frame 5). The boiler incorporates an automatic
bypass.
A circulating pump, pressure gauge, safety valve and heating
expansion vessels are provided.
The CH flow temperature is controlled by an electronic
thermostat. In DHW mode the boiler modulates to sustain a
nominal adjustable water flow temperature of 55 ° C.
The boiler casing is of white painted mild steel with a
drop ---down controls access door.
The boiler temperature control is located behind the control
panel door.
The main heat exchanger is made of copper.
The DHW heat exchanger is stainless steel.
The system pipework must include drain cocks in appropriate
places. Pipework may be taken downwards.
For upwards pipework installation an additional frame
(optional) must be used (see frame 18).
OPTIONAL EXTRA KITS
Horizontal Concentric Extension Ducts
Up to 4 m (13' 1") for models:
europa 224, europa 228.
Up to 2,7 m (8' 10") for model europa 232
Other available kits are listed in frame 9.
DHW OPERATION (combi versions)
With no call for CH the boiler fires only when DHW is drawn
off. When there is a call for CH, the heating system is supplied
at the selected temperature until DHW is drawn off. The
output is then directed by the diverter valve to heat the
secondary heat exchanger and supply a maximum draw ---off
of:
europa 224. 10.0 (2.2) l/min (gpm) at 35 degree rise.
europa 228 11.6 (2.6) l/min (gpm) at 35 degree rise.
europa 232 13.1 (2.9) l/min (gpm) at 35 degree rise.
The nominal DHW temperature is 55 ° C, but water drawn off
when the boiler has been on for central heating may be hotter
than this, for a short period of time.
GAS SAFETY
Current Gas Safety (Installation and Use)
Regulations or rules in force
The appliance is suitable only for installation in GB and IE and
should be installed in accordance with the rules in force.
europa Installation & Servicing
GENERAL
In GB, the installation must be carried out by a CORGI
Registered Installer. It must be carried out in accordance with
the relevant requirements of the:
F Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations
F The appropriate Building Regulations either The Building
Regulations, The Building Regulations (Scotland),
Building Regulations (Northern Ireland).
F The Water Fittings Regulations or Water byelaws in
Scotland.
F The Current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations.
Where no specific instructions are given, reference should be
made to the relevant British Standard Code of Practice.
In IE, the installation must be carried out by a Competent
Person and installed in accordance with the current edition of
I.S.813 "Domestic Gas Installations", the current Building
Regulations and reference should be made to the current
ETCI rules for electrical installation.
Detailed recommendations are contained in the following
British Standard Codes of Practice:
BS 5440:1
Flues (for gas appliances of rated input not
exceeding 70 kW).
BS 5440:2
Ventilation (for gas appliances of rated input
not exceeding 70 kW).
BS. 5449 Forced circulation hot water systems.
BS. 5546 Installation of gas hot water supplies for
domestic purposes (2nd Family Gases)
BS 6700 Design, installation testing and maintenance of
services supplying hot water for domestic use.
BS. 6798 Installation of gas fired hot water boilers of
rated input not exceeding 70 kW.
BS. 6891
Low pressure installation pipes.
Health & Safety Document No. 635.
The Electricity at Work Regulations, 1989.
The manufacturers notes must NOT be taken, in any way, as
overriding statutory obligations.
IMPORTANT These appliances are CE certificated for safety
and performance. It is, therefore, important that no external
control devices, e.g. flue dampers, economisers etc., are
directly connected to these appliances unless covered by
these Installation and Servicing Instructions or as otherwise
recommended by the boiler manufacturer in writing. If in
doubt please enquire.
Any direct connection of a control device not approved by the
boiler manufacturer could invalidate the certification and the
normal appliance warranty. It could also infringe the Gas
Safety Regulations and the above regulations.
SAFE HANDLING OF SUBSTANCES
Care should be taken when handling the boiler insulation
panels, which can cause irritation to the skin. No asbestos,
mercury or CFCs are included in any part of the boiler in its
manufacture.
LOCATION OF BOILER AND FLUE OUTLET
The boiler must be installed on a flat and vertical wall, capable
of adequately supporting the weight of the boiler and any
ancillary equipment.
The boiler may be fitted on a combustible wall and insulation
between the wall and the boiler is not necessary, unless
required by the local authority.
The boiler must not be fitted outside.
