The P-K SONIC gas-fired boiler is fully modulating using a
variable speed combustion blower, sophisticated microprocessor
controls, modulating gas safety shut off / control valves and a
unique stainless steel heat exchanger capable of operating in a
fully condensing mode to provide maximum efficiency in a
minimum amount of space. The high-quality materials and
design of the boiler should provide years of trouble-free service if
the instructions in this manual are followed carefully.
The boiler is only a part of the complete heating system. This
boiler may be fully operational but because of poor circulation,
improper control, or other site related characteristics, not deliver
heat to the desired location. Additional equipment such as
temperature sensors, pumps, flow switches, balancing valves,
and check valves will be required for satisfactory operation of any
system. Harsco Industrial, Patterson-Kelley cannot be
responsible for the design or operation of such systems and a
qualified engineer or contractor must be consulted.
While details may differ slightly, basic operation is the same for all
models. Boilers may be built to operate with natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas (propane). Check the
rating plate for correct fuel usage and gas pressures.
