HeatStation™ CONDENSING WATER BOILER 4.2 Sensor Locations and Thermal Well The selection of the hydronic system design is explained in detail in Section 10 “Control Settings for Hydronic System Design”. The EOS control system on HeatStation comes configured for the Multi Boiler Primary/Secondary hydronic system. The system sensor will automatically be selected for system temperature regulation.
HeatStation™ CONDENSING WATER BOILER CONDENSATE DRAIN, TRAP & DISPOSAL The HeatStation boiler produces a significant amount of condensate. The condensate drain is under slightly positive flue pressure; therefore the 1" CPVC condensate trap assembly supplied with the product must always be used. This trap is sized and designed to create a liquid barrier to prevent flue gases from escaping through the condensate drain into the installed space.
The condensate neutralizer reduces or avoids the need for separate chemical treatment or dilution using substantial quantities of tap water. Contact your local Riverside Hydronics representative to obtain a Condensate Neutralization System and follow the instructions included for assembly and connection.
