Safe Handling - Keston 30C Installation And Servicing Instructions

INTRODUCTION
The Keston 30C boiler is a wall mounted, full sequence,
automatic spark ignition, low water content, fanned flue, high
efficiency, condensing, combination gas boiler.
Note. Due to the high efficiency of the boiler a plume of water
vapour will form at the terminal during operation.
Central heating (CH) output is fully modulating with a range of
6.1 to 24.2kW (20,700 to 82,600 Btu/h)
Instantaneous domestic hot water (DHW) output is also fully
modulating with a maximum of 30.3kW (103,300 Btu/h)
The boiler is supplied fully assembled with DHW plate heat
exchanger, diverter valve, circulating pump, pressure gauge,
safety valve and CH expansion vessel.
Variable CH and DHW temperature controls are fitted on the
user control and the boiler features a DHW preheat facility.
The boiler includes as standard:
- Automatic bypass
- Boiler frost protection
- Daily pump and diverter valve exercise.
The boiler casing is of white painted mild steel.
The boiler temperature controls are visible located in the
control panel on the front of the boiler.
The heat exchanger is manufactured from cast aluminium.
The boiler is suitable for connection to fully pumped, sealed
heating systems ONLY. Adequate arrangements for completely
draining the system by provision of drain cocks MUST be
provided in the installation pipework.
Pipework from the boiler is routed downwards.
OPERATION
With no demand for CH, the boiler fires only when DHW is drawn
off, or periodically for a few seconds without any DHW draw-off, in
order to maintain the DHW calorifier in a heated condition. This
only occurs if pre-heat knob is in the 'ON' period.
When there is a demand for CH, the heating system is
supplied at the selected temperature of between 30
80 o C, until DHW is drawn off. The full output from the boiler is
then directed via the diverter valve to the plate heat exchanger to
supply a nominal DHW draw-off of 12.4 l/min at 35
temperature rise.
The DHW draw off rate specified above is the nominal that the
boiler flow regulator will give. Due to system variations and
seasonal temperature fluctuations DHW flow rates/temperature
rise will vary, requiring adjustment at the draw off tap.
At low DHW draw-off rate the maximum temperature is limited
o
to 64 C by the modulating gas control.
The boiler features a comprehensive diagnostic system which
gives detailed information on the boiler status when operating,
and performance of key components to aid commissioning and
fault finding.

GENERAL

SAFE HANDLING

This boiler may require 2 or more operatives to move it to its
installation site, remove it from its packaging base and during
movement into its installation location. Manoeuvring the boiler
may include the use of a sack truck and involve lifting, pushing
and pulling.
Caution should be exercised during these operations.
Operatives should be knowledgeable in handling techniques
when performing these tasks and the following precautions
should be considered:
• Grip the boiler at the base.
• Be physically capable.
• Use personal protective equipment as appropriate, e.g.
gloves, safety footwear.
During all manoeuvres and handling actions, every attempt
should be made to ensure the following unless unavoidable
and/or the weight is light.
• Keep back straight.
• Avoid twisting at the waist.
• Avoid upper body/top heavy bending.
• Always grip with the palm of the hand.
• Use designated hand holds.
• Keep load as close to the body as possible.
• Always use assistance if required.
OPTIONAL EXTRA KITS
• Telescopic Concentric Flue B pack
• Electronic Timer (7 day) kit
• RF Electronic Programmable Room Thermostat kit
• Stand Off kit
