Water Circulation System - IDEAL SUPER PLUS 200/S Installation And Servicing

WATER CIRCULATION SYSTEM

DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
SUPER PLUS Gas Boilers are intended for use in conjunction with
FULLY PUMPED, OPEN VENTED OR PRESSURISED systems,
subject to the requirements below. They are NOT SUITABLE for
use on gravity circulation systems.
Water flow rate:
28.4 gal/min (2.15 l/s) ± 10% through each module. Thus a 6
module boiler (Super Plus 600/6) requires 170.4 gal/min (12.9
l/s) volume flow rate.
Note:Failure to maintain this flow rate will result in operation of the
module overheat thermostat.
Any other method of installation should be discussed with Ideal
Boilers before proceeding.
Hydraulic Resistance:
When operating at the correct volume flow rate given above,
the Hydraulic Resistance of all Super Plus boilers is 98 mb (39
in.w.g.) ± 20%.
Pump Overrun:
A pump overrun time of 30 seconds minimum must be allowed for
on plant shutdown.

2. Ground floor or basement applications

Maximum Static Head:
60.0m (197 ft.), i.e. maximum operating pressure 6.0 bar (85 lb/in
Minimum Static Head
Minimum static head requirements for open vented systems must
comply with boiler design characteristics, pump manufacturer's
requirements and the requirements of the Health and Safety
Executive Publication PM5.
A minimum static head of 1.6 m is required to overcome the boiler
hydraulic resistance and give a reasonable safety margin. This
requirement is specific to the boiler but installed systems must also
comply with Health and Safety Executive Guidance Note PM5. In
those cases with minimum static head available it will be necessary
to fit a further overheat thermostat in the mixed flow from the boiler
set at 90 C and wired to terminals S2 and S3 in the wiring centre.

Note: In some cases pump manufacturers will require a head
as high as 12 m (40 ft), This must be allowed for the minimum
head increase accordingly.
