Reservation For commissioning and assistance in maintenance matters, please contact your supplier’s service department.
DESCRIPTION General information The R2000 series water heaters are atmospheric open flued, low thermal capacity gas-fired water heaters. These high efficiency water heaters are designed to provide hot water to various industrial and commercial applications where there can be varying demands and fluctuating loads. Several models are available with heat inputs from 65,5 kW to 470,7 kW and recovery rates from 1219 litres per hour to 8577 litres per hour, based upon a temperature rise of 44 K or 976...

Page 13
Draught diverter The R2000 is fitted with a draught diverter. 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 plate mantle is easily removed without the use of any special tools by means of a click system.
Page 14
Heat exchanger The heat exchanger (type 2-pass) is mounted on the chassis. To ensure proper heat transfer of the combustion gases, the copper fin tubes are arranged side by side and expanded laterally into a mounting plate. The baffles on the copper fin tubes optimize the efficiency of the heat exchanger.
Page 15
Burner The burner is mounted under the combustion chamber in the chassis. The burner bars, mounted in the burner trolley are manufactured from stainless steel. Each burner bar is supplied by its own injector nozzle mounted on the gas manifold. Fig.
2.3 Principle of regulation Electronic Modulating version This type of boiler control regulation (indicated by the EM control option) uses a built-in PID regulator to maintain a con- stant flow temperature to within a minimum temperature devia- tion of +1 to -1 K. This system allows the user to fine-tune the reaction of the boiler to the heating system or application process.
Page 17
2.3.1 EM Control option Electronic Modulating version with outside temperature compensation and night-time temperature reduction This system (indicated by the EW control option) uses the above mentioned PID regulator to regulate the boiler. The “EW” control system maintains the advantages of the “EM” type boiler and adds to it the possibility of automatically changing the flow temperature according to the outside temperature and the required heating curve.

INSTALLATION Boiler room Installation of the R2000 should only be carried out by a recog- nized installer in accordance with the current national and local demands, norms and standards (see supplement). 5.1.1 Siting Install the water heater as close to the chimney as possible. A plinth base is not required.
Mechanical ventilation The supply of air by mechanical means shall be by mechanical inlet with natural of mechanical extractions, mechanical extract with natural inlet must not be used. The minimum flow rates with mechanical ventilation are as follows: Inlet Air (Combustion ventilation) - 1.1 m /s per 1000 kW total rated heat input.

The following termi- nals on the terminal block have the following functions: common up signal down signal enable 0 - 10 VDC control signal (only available with EM control option) external main gas valve alarm signal (230 V)
5.2.3.1 Water system The following notes are of particular importance to these water heaters. A drain tap is fitted to the header at the connection end of the water heater to drain the content of the heat exchanger. The water connections are normally on het right hand side of the water heater but can be supplied on the left hand side by special order, i.e.

Where there is a risk of the water pressure falling below the minimum pressure a minimum pressure switch should be included which turns off the water heater. Under certain conditions and following a high demand it is possible for the water heater to condensate. It is necessary to maintain the water heater above the minimum condensation point of 36 °C.

Pre-lighting checks The following is a list of appliance checks to be carried out. and dry run 6.2.1 Check 1 With the water heater gas inlet service cock closed and electricity supply switched off Ascertain from the gas supplier or the customer that the meter installation is operational.
III) Check the setting of the modulating combustion air damper situated underneath the burners, there should be a gap of 4 mm (Natural gas) or 8 mm (LPG) with the damper in the fully closed position against the stops. Burner trolley assembly Fig.
If no leak is found, this indicates that the 1st safety shut off valve is letting by and should be replaced (whole multi block on models R2017 and R2022).

Press reset button to override water heater lockout. Carry out a) above and close the pilot manual cock once the pilot burner has ignited.
Fig. 24 Measuring ionisation With the gas train cover closed switch on the water heater. Check for spillage of products of combustion from the draught diverter opening with a smoke detec- tor or other suitable apparatus, ensuring that any openable windows, doors etc., fitted in the water heater space are shut and any extraction fans are operating.

Stress the importance of regular servicing for safe and efficient operation and that if a gas leak is detected to turn off the water heater at the gas service cock and to call the local gas supplier. Water heater failure In case of water heater failure the system will fall into lock-out.
OPERATION AND FAULT INDICATION Function The water heater starts up in the sequence described below: Heat demand. Ignition of pilot flame. As soon as pilot flame is detected, an ionisation current will pass to the flame safeguard control box. The main gas valve opens and gas ignites over complete burner tray.
If there is insufficient water flow the water heater will turn off and lock-out. Red lamps 2 and 5 on. Reset by pushing button If the flow temperature exceeds the high limit setting, the water heater will mechanically lock-out and switch off. Red lamp 2 on. When resetting by pushing button 3, lamp 4 TA will light.

MAINTENANCE Safety Always wear the proper protective clothing and shoes when servicing the water heater. Wearing jewelry and loose clothing can contribute to unsafe situations. General information In order to keep the R2000 in a safe working condition, the water heater should be inspected and serviced at least once every year and cleaned if necessary.
Burner tray The burner manifold and the gas regulator are connected by means of a coupling. Remove the burner for inspection as follows: 1 Close the gas service cock and disconnect the burner mani- fold and gas regulator. 2 Release the two brackets which attach the burner to the water heater frame.
Servicing WARNING: ONLY COMPETENT PERSONS SHOULD CARRY OUT SERVICING ON THIS WATER HEATER IN ACCOR- DANCE WITH THE GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE) REGULATIONS 1984. Ensure that both gas and electrical supplies are switched off before carrying out any service operation. After carrying out any service operation it is important to check for gas soundness and re-commission the water heater as described in Section 6 - Commissioning.
