1.1 INTRODUCTION
These instructions should be read in conjunction with the Installation and Servicing
Instructions issued by the manufacturers of the heat source e.g. the boiler used.
Any water distribution and central heating installation must comply with the relevant
recommendations of the current version of the Regulations and British Standards
listed below:-
Gas Safety Regulations
Building Regulations
I.E.E. Requirements for Electrical Installations
Water Regulations
British Standards
BS6798, BS5449, BS5546, BS5440:1, BS5440:2, CP331:3, BS6700, BS5258, BS7593 and
BS7671.
A suitably competent person as stated in the Gas Safety Regulations must install the
BoilerMate and carry out any subsequent maintenance/repairs. In fact, the front panel
is secured by 2 screws and should only be removed by a competent trades person.
The manufacturer's notes must not be taken as overriding statutory obligations.
The BoilerMate A-Class SP is only suitable for use with a sealed primary central heating
system.
The BoilerMate A-Class is not covered by section G3 of the current Building Regulations
and is therefore not notifi able to Building Control.
The BoilerMate A-Class SP is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
The information in this manual is provided to assist generally in the selection of
equipment. The responsibility for the selection and specifi cation of the equipment
must however remain that of the customer and any Designers or Consultants
concerned with the design and installation.
Please Note: We do not therefore accept any responsibility for matters of design,
selection or specifi cation or for the effectiveness of an installation containing one of
our products unless we have been specifi cally requested to do so.
All goods are sold subject to our Conditions of Sale and Warranty Terms, which
are set out at the rear of this manual.
In the interest of continuously improving the BoilerMate range, Gledhill Water Storage
Ltd reserve the right to modify the product without notice, and in these circumstances
this document, which is accurate at the time of printing, should be disregarded. It will
however be updated as soon as possible after the change has occurred.
1.0 DESIGN
Description
The BoilerMate A-Class SP shown schematically
on page 4 is designed to provide sealed system
space heating and mains pressure hot water at
high fl ow rates when coupled to any remotely
sited, condensing or non condensing, boiler
suitable for sealed heating systems, as long
as they comply with the recommendations
contained in the rest of this manual.
The BoilerMate A-Class is an indirectly heated
hot water only thermal store and is supplied
with the factory fi tted controls and equipment
shown in Section 1.2 Technical Data. The
indirect heat exchanger is highly effi cient and
designed to provide extremely quick hot water
recovery as well as back-up space heating
when using 'Switch' .
Because the F & E cistern is only used to fi ll
the thermal store the standard appliance
is supplied as a manual fill model, i,e,
without a ballvalve and overflow, which
makes it particularly suitable for use in
fl ats/apartments. A ballvalve and overfl ow
fi tting can be supplied as an optional extra if
required to provide an automatic fi ll model.
Because this product does not require a safety
discharge from a temperature and pressure
relief valve, any installations will be easy to
incorporate into the building and will not suffer
from the problems associated with using PVCu
soil stacks to take the discharge from unvented
cylinders.
An important feature of this concept is that
hot water can be supplied directly from the
mains at conventional fl ow rates without the
need for temperature and pressure relief safety
valves or expansion vessels. This is achieved
by passing the mains water through a plate
heat exchanger. The outlet temperature of the
domestic hot water is maintained by a printed
circuit board (A.C.B.), which controls the speed
of the pump circulating the primary water from
the store through the plate heat exchanger.
