DESCRIPTION General information The R2200 is a gas-fired boiler with an atmospheric burner with HIGH/LOW/OFF regulation. The R2200 is fitted with a 2-stage thermostat control working at 100% or approx. 50% boiler capacity. The R2200 series of boilers are available in 8 types: R2207, R2210, R2213, R2216, R2220, R2224 and R2228.
Main components Fig. 2 R2200 Draught diverter The R2200 is fitted with a draught diverter with a flue gas extractor fan. It is possible to connect the flue outlet connection on the top cover with a standard flue pipe. The inside of the draught diverter is made of aluminium. The galvanized panel work is easily removed without the use of any special tools by means of a click system.

Combustion chamber The chassis consists of two side frames with steel supports. Dura blanket type thermal insulation is sandwiched between the vermiculite refractory blocks and front, rear and side panels of the combustion chamber housing. These vermiculite refractory blocks are mounted so as to allow freedom of expansion. The refractory blocks backed with Dura blanket insulation form the combustion chamber.
Page 12
Burner The burner is mounted under the combustion chamber in the chassis. The burner bars, mounted in the burner tray are manu- factured from stainless steel. Each burner bar is supplied by its own injector nozzle mounted on the gas manifold. A bottom plate is mounted under the burner bars.
2.3 Principle of regulation The flow temperature can be constant or influenced by weather compensation. Several boilers can be connected by using cascade switching. In order to reduce electricity consumption both boiler and boiler pump can be switched off by the cascade switch box.
Boiler protection The R2200 is protected by the following systems: minimum water flow switch The water flow switch is installed in the flow and monitors continuously the minimum water flow. If the flow falls below a preset level, the burner is shut down. The water flow switch is factory set and should not be adjusted.

A flue base is not required. To maintain ease of access and therefore ease of mainte- nance, the following minimum dimensions are recommended between the R2200 and the boiler room walls: Front with control panel...
Unit connections 5.2.1 Gas supply The product should be installed according to relevant codes of practice as mentioned in the “Supplement”. 22IP22/501001AE Gas connection can be found at the rear of the boiler. Always mount a gas filter. The main gas service cock and gas filter should be supplied by a qualified heating engineer.
External control It is possible to externally control the unit. The following termi- nals on the terminal block have the following functions: 1st stage on-off 2nd stage high-low lock out, minimum gas pressure switch blocking, low water level protection outgoing alarm signal (230 V) blocking, high gas pressure switch outgoing cascade signal (230 V) * remove jumper.

In areas with extreme hard water, precautions should be taken to control water hardness, ie. a water softener. Contact the service department of Stokvis Energy Systems for more infor- mation about the required water quality necessary for the R2200 series.
Hydraulic system System pressure By system pressure is meant, the water pressure measured at the heat exchanger in cold condition. With a correctly sized expansion system the system pressure will not change very much under variable temperature conditions. 22CV22/540001GE 5.4.1 Flow and resistance The next figure shows an example of a hydraulic system.

Minimum and maximum water volume per hour A too low flow rate through the fin tubes can lead to cavitation. Also, a too high flow rate can cause erosion. To protect the heat exchanger from these two extremes, the flow rate (Q) should be set using the table below.
Page 27
Positioning the pump and expansion vessel We advise that the pump should be mounted in the return pipe in the following order: expansion vessel, pump, boiler. If you mount the pump in the supply pipe, the lifespan of the pump will be reduced. Always connect the expansion vessel to the suction side of the boiler pump.
Page 28
The primary circuit must have a low water volume. This enables faster heating and reduces the condensing time of the boiler after for example night time temperature reduction. The recommended maximum volume of the primary circuit per 100 kW installed boiler capacity is 200 litres. When the installation is switched off, the boilers must be switched off first.

Fig. 18 Main gas valve adjustment The capacity of the R2200 is adjusted using the burner pres- sure method. The burner pressure can be read off a manome- ter connected to the pressure test point C on the outlet side of the main gas valve.
Boiler failure In case of boiler failure the boiler will lock out. Reset the boiler with the reset button on the control panel. Repeat this several times if necessary. If the boiler still does not start, refer to chapter ‘Boiler failure’. Measuring boiler ionisation In order to check ionisation a micro-ampere meter with a scale range from 0 to 50 µA DC should be used.
