Safety measures for preventing internal flue gas recirculation The heat exchanger of the S-CB 400 & 550 boiler contains two burners. The air supply channels of both burners are internally connected to each other, so the installer only needs to connect one air supply duct to the boiler. The controller allows the situation in which only one burner is burning, while the other one is off.
Description of the most important boiler parts 1. Fan The fan is a compact unit: the motor and fan housing are an integral part and can be replaced as a complete unit. The fan varies in speed due to the boiler control, which ensures that the modulation of the boiler is attained. 2.
7. Non-return valve A non-return valve fitted behind the fan will prevent recirculation of flue gases from one burner to the other burner (when this burner is not operating). 8. Heat exchanger The heat exchanger consists of spirals of stainless steel smooth tube. Through the openings between the spirals the flue gases are pushed, establishing an optimal heat transfer.
ACCESSORIES AND UNPACKING OF THE BOILER Accessories Depending on the selected controlling of the central heating system and the type of boiler, the following items can be ordered and delivered with the boiler: Item Part no. Outside (air) temperature sensor: 12 kOhm@25°C (to be mounted to the boiler connections) E04.016.585 External flow temperature sensor for behind the low velocity header: 10 kOhm@25°C (to be E04.016.304...
INSTALLATION OF THE S-CB 400 & 550 General notes The boiler is mounted on a pallet with a wooden “support” frame around it. The boiler is wrapped in shrink warp before the wooden support frame is mounted. After the frame is placed the whole pallet, boiler and frame package is shrink wrapped again.
• Ensure that the correct space is provided when positioning the boiler for maintenance and replacement of parts. The recommended minimum clearance is: - Side clearance: 500 mm (advised 1000 mm) - Front clearance: 800 mm - Rear clearance: 500 mm •...
5.4 Mounting the boiler Before mounting the boiler, the installer needs to design and calculate the following parts: • Flue gas pipe connection. • Air supply connection. • Flow and return connection. • Condensate and pressure relief valve drainage. • Power supply.
Condensate drain connection The condensate drain is placed at the centre and at the bottom of the boiler and has a ¾ inch hose discharge. Connect this flexible hose to the sewer system. Use only plastic parts with the condensate drain. Metal lines are not allowed.
The boiler pump must be controlled by the boiler controller. If, for any reason, an external pump control is applied without written approval of Strebel, the complete warranty on the boiler and all supplied parts will become invalid.
Installing a strainer and/or dirt separator Always install a strainer (water filter) and/or SYSTEM WITH DIRT SEPARATOR a dirt separator on the system side after a low loss header / Strebel boiler guard / plate DIRT SEPARATOR WATER FLOW TO LLH / WATER RETURN...
6.11 Plastic piping in the heating system When plastic pipes are used in the central heating system and NOT oxygen diffusion proof to standard DIN 4726, these should be separated from the boiler system by using a plate heat exchanger. Diffusion (through the plastic) can cause air to enter the heating system.
Higher pressure systems (e.g. in high buildings) If pressures higher than 4,0 bar occur in the heating system, the best solution is to separate the system from the boiler by means of a plate heat exchanger. Now the boiler pressure can still be under 4,0 bar and the boiler control remains as described above.

FLUE GAS AND AIR SUPPLY SYSTEM General The boiler must be commissioned and installed by a skilled installer in accordance with all applicable standards and regulations. The overall resistance of the air supply and flue terminal must not exceed a pressure drop of 200 Pa. For installation values see the table in section 8.8.2.
Boiler categories - types of flue gas systems. Type according EN 15502-2-1: 2012 Performance Description B23(P) Open * Roof terminal Flue Air supply from * Without draught diverter Outlet room * Boiler room air supply. * P = overpressure systems Be aware: The installation room has to have sufficient air supply vents.
Closed * Appliance sold without flue/air-inlet ducts. Air supply from * The flue gas parts are not part of the boiler. The outside boiler is intended to be connected to a separately Flue outlet approved and marketed system for the supply of Air inlet combustion air and discharge of combustion products.
Multiple boilers can be connected to a common duct. These flue gas systems for multiple boiler installations must always be engineered as zero or negative pressure systems; this to prevent the risk of recirculation of the flue gases. In circumstances where a zero or negative pressure cannot be achieved, please call Strebel Ltd Technical Department for advice.
Pipe heights and mutual distances on a flat roof. Height A This is the height of the air inlet that must have a cap to prevent rainwater entering the system. When in- and outlet are mounted on a flat roof, the inlet should be at least 60 cm above the roof surface and at least 30 cm above the max- imum snow level.
S-CB 400 & 550 air inlet / flue gas outlet calculation examples The load of the boiler is influenced by the resistance of the air supply and the discharge system. The diameter and length of both air supply and flue gas pipes needs to be designed accurately to decrease the possible power loss of the boiler.

11.2 Heating The following paragraphs describe the different functions of the boiler and their related “controlling behaviour settings” as a central heating boiler. 11.2.1 C ONTROLLING BEHAVIOUR SETTINGS The factory settings for all heating applications are working fine and it is therefore advised not to change these settings.
11.2.3 R OPENTHERM OOM THERMOSTAT An RC OpenTherm controller can be connected to the boiler for temperature reading(s) and remote programming (connections 13-14). 11.2.4 O UTSIDE TEMPERATURE RELATED FLOW CONTROL The flow temperature set point can be calculated by using the measured outside temperature for controlling the boiler.
11.2.6 0-10 VDC REMOTE BURNER INPUT CONTROL The burner input is controlled by connecting an external 0-10 VDC signal to the boiler (connections 15-16). P5 BB Analogue input Config (0=off 1=temp 2=power) (display D1). This parameter must be set at "2" so the supplied 0-10V dc signal will control the burner input. The standard factory setting is ‘1’, temperature set point control.
11.3 Indirect hot water / calorifier The following paragraphs describe the different functions of the boiler and their related “controlling behaviour settings” as a central heating boiler with an indirect hot water function. 11.3.1 PUMP AND WAY VALVE CONTROL See chapter 19 for several installation examples of the boiler and the preferred functions. When the boiler is used as an indirect boiler for both central heating and hot water function, this hot water function can be activated by using a DHW pump or a 3-way valve.
11.3.4 L HIGH FLOW TEMPERATURE TO TANK COIL This function can only be used for an “indirect” programmed boiler (parameter P4 AA = 1). Normally for a regular calorifier a fixed flow temperature of 85°C is supplied to the calorifier heat exchanger in case of a heat demand.
11.3.5 H EATING AND HOT WATER SWITCHING TIME This function can only be used for an “indirect” programmed boiler (parameter P4 AA = 1). In case there is a heating demand and the unit is operating for this heating demand, also a hot water demand can be activated.
’ 11.3.7 ANTI EGIONNAIRES DISEASE PASTEURISATION FUNCTION This function can only be used for an “indirect” programmed boiler (parameter P4 AA = 1), on which a DHW program is active. To prevent Legionnaires’ disease the boiler (software) provides a function for heating up the hot water storage tank (once a week) to a higher water temperature then the normal active hot water set point.
11.4 Cascade control Before commissioning a cascade installation, several parameters have to be changed. These parameters can be programmed on the unit itself, without the use of a computer. NB! Remember that a S-CB 400 & 550 boiler is already a cascade of two burners, so cascading these boilers gives a multiple of 2-burner cascades.

COMMISSIONING THE BOILER 12.1 First: flushing the boiler with water After installation of the boiler the first step, before commissioning, is to flush the whole heating installation with fresh water to remove pollution, debris and other materials that might cause a blocking with the S-CB isolated from the system.
Page 95
By pressing the [SERVICE] button of the boiler, the boiler can be started without a heating demand. The boiler will start to fire and also the pump will start to run. Firing of the boiler without a water flow (but filled with water!) will cause the so called “boiling noises”.
STARTING THE BOILER 13.1 General Check the gas pressure available at the gas connection pipe of the boiler. Use the pressure nipple (4)* of the gas safety valve for this measurement. The gas input pressure for the boiler, to operate properly under the correct load, must be at least 20 mbar at high fire.

Mounting the burner door correctly back onto the heat exchanger: IMPORTANT: Before mounting the burner door, make sure that its gaskets and insulation are in excellent shape. If any signs of damage or ageing are present, these parts must be replaced. The burner door must be mounted back on the heat exchanger as follows, see picture below: - Place the burner door with its holes over the six threaded studs, numbered 1 to 6 in the picture.
Siphon Disassemble the siphon and clean every part of it. Check the siphon connection of the heat exchanger for any blocking or pollution and clean it (if necessary). Check the functioning of the siphon by pouring clean tap water in the burner room (when burner door is removed).
