    3 TECHNICAL DATA FOR S-CBX BOILERS 3.1 Functional introduction The S-CBX boilers are central heating boilers with a maximum high efficiency. Such a performance can be reached by, amongst other things, using a special heat exchanger made of stainless steel. This allows the flue gases to cool down below the condensation point, and so release extra heat.

  • Page 20: Non-Return Valve

    7.6 NON-Return valve. All S-CBX boilers have a non-return valve installed in the gas-air mixing pipe just before the burner. Flue gas recirculation is prevented by the non-return valve. The prevention of recirculation also reduces standby losses through the flue of the boiler. This creates a higher thermal efficiency. 7.7 Bypass The boiler has no internal bypass.

    13 TEMPERATURE PROTECTION The difference between Flow temperature and Return Temperature is continuously monitored. A too big difference can indicate a defective pump or a clogged heat exchanger. To protect the boiler, the burner controller reduces the input when the temperature difference ΔT becomes too high: At maximum boiler input ΔT is limited to 35°C (63 °F) - (Hx_Diff_DeltaT_Min ) In between 35°C (63 °F) and 43 °C (77 °F) boiler input modulates between minimum and maximum.

    15 CASCADING 15.1 System setup The boiler controller can control multiple boilers in a cascade setup. A system sensor is necessary to measure the cascade system supply temperature. The sensor is connected to the boiler control. A pump output is also available to run the system pump, as well as an output for the DHW pump. When the CH supply temperature is calculated based on an outdoor sensor, only one outdoor sensor is needed.

    17 COMMISSIONING THE BOILER 17.1 First: flushing the boiler with water After installation of the boiler the first step, before commissioning, is to flush the boiler and the whole heating installation with fresh water to remove pollution, debris and other materials that might cause a blocking. This must also be done with heating installations, where only the boiler is replaced.
  • Page 104: Mounting Condensate Trap

    17.4 Mounting Condensate Trap When mounting the bottom part of the condensate trap, before commissioning the boiler and/or after maintenance, it must ALWAYS be completely filled with water.

If this insulation disc shows any signs of (water) damage or degradation it should be exchanged. Also check if there are any indications in the burner room of a high condensate level (caused by a blocked condensate trap) that might have wetted the rear wall insulation.
  • Page 119 Install the new insulation: - Put two dots of glue silicone, temperature-resistant (Loctite 5366 or Ottoseal S17), according to the location indicated. - Make sure that the burner is in proper condition, remove any possible insulation residues on the burner. - Put a plastic protection skirt around the burner to protect the insulation from the burner.

    Gas/air ratio With every service check and/or maintenance of the boiler always check the gas/air ratio by measuring the CO percentage (flue gas) at the maximum and minimum load of the boiler. If necessary, adjust these values. See for information chapter “Adjusting and setting the boiler” chapter 18. Pump (supplied separated from the boiler) Check the electrical parts and the motor of the pump for a correct functioning.
