Strebel Ltd can supply standard cascade systems with mounting frame, piping and low loss headers for up to six boilers depending on the range. Larger amounts of boilers in a cascade combination are possible but require a dedicated system which must be designed separately.
2. Installation Procedure Cascade Configuration In order to completely install a cascade configuration of two or more boilers, the following procedure should be observed: 1. Calculate the total required amount of power for the cascade configuration and determine the number of boilers necessary in the cascade configuration to achieve the required power. This is described in detail in chapter 3.
If the required power in kW is known, consult Table 3.1 (below) in order to determine which combination of boilers can be applied to achieve the required power. Total Total Number S-CBX 85 S-CBX 105 S-CBX 125 S-CBX 155 Power *...

2) In case the required power is calculated at 440 kW, the table will show you that the required cascade type and that the cascade configuration should have 4 boilers: one S-CBX 85 boiler, two S-CBX 105 boilers and one S-CBX 155 boiler.
4. Calculate Dimensions and Space of Cascade Configuration In this chapter is explained how to determine the dimensions of the cascade configuration and how much space is required in the room where the cascade configuration will be installed. EHS.T0200.5050 Figure 4.1 Dimensions front view...

EHS.T0200.5050 Figure 4.2 Dimensions: Side views After you have determined which cascade configuration will be applied and therefore how many boilers must be combined in the cascade configuration, the next step is to determine the total dimensions of the cascade configuration and the space required for the cascade configuration.
5. Explanation of Parts and Groups Each cascade configuration exists of the following parts and groups: The number of boilers as selected in chapter 3. The frame group (with locking plates) as determined by the number of boilers. An external pump for each boiler. Connecting sets to connect the boilers to the hydraulic and gas header groups.
6. Connecting Sets Supply Connecting Set Gas Connecting Set Connection to boiler. Connection to boiler. Connection pressure relieve valve. Ball valve. Ball valve. Coupling to supply header. Coupling to gas header. Return Connecting Set with External Pump Connection to boiler. Pump location.

8. Mounting the Frame Frame elements The first part of the actual installation of the cascade configuration is assembling the frame on which the boilers will be hung. The basic frame exists of the following elements: • L-shaped stands • Top beam •...
The number of elements to be mounted depends on the number of boilers which have to be combined. # L- # Top # In-between # Frame Width # Boilers stands beams beams braces beams 440 mm 930 mm 1420 mm 930 mm exists of a 930 mm...
9. Mounting the Gas Header Attention! All lines/piping must be mounted free of tension. The weight of all the components should be supported separately from the boiler so there is no force on the connections. Attention! During mounting of the gas header group, it is very important that the position of the support beam as well as the support brackets of the headers allow for some play (tolerance) for a neat installation.
10. Mounting the Boilers on the Frame 1. Before mounting the boiler on the frame, ensure that the frame is level both horizontally and vertically. If necessary, adjust with the adjusting bolts on the lower side of the frame (see Figure 10.1). 2.
11. Mounting the Hydraulic Group and the Connecting Sets After the boiler has been mounted on the frame, the hydraulic group and the connecting sets must be mounted. Attention! All lines/piping must be mounted free of tension. The weight of all the components should be supported separately from the boiler so there is no force on the connections.
12. Mounting the Low Loss Headers After mounting the hydraulic and gas header group and the connecting sets to the boilers, the low loss header must be mounted to the supply and return headers. Figure 12.1 Low loss header Depending on the configuration of the cascade setup, one of the following low loss headers can be mounted: Type Size Used for...
Overflow. Attention! The hydraulic piping of the Strebel Ltd cascade systems already contains non-return valves underneath each boiler. When other hydraulic systems are used, non-return valves must be fitted in the return pipe of each boiler. The Installation & Service Manual of the S-CBX boiler series provides you with the necessary installation schemes and requirements to complete the installation.
– Part 2: Chimneys serving more than one heating appliance.” Strebel Ltd can advise you on the software to be used for doing these calculations. Do not attempt to design common flue systems without the appropriate software and training.
16. Set Parameters Before commissioning the cascade installation, several parameters have to be changed in order to have the boilers operate in unison as a cascade configuration. These parameters can be programmed on each boiler itself in the display of the boiler (so without the use of an external computer).
18. Accessories To complete your cascade configuration the following accessories are available: Sensors Details Article nr. Remarks Outside air temperature sensor 12kOhm@25ºC E04.016.306 Optional External flow temperature sensor low loss header 10kOhm@25ºC E04.016.304 Required Table 18.1 Accessories 19.

The exact amount for each part in the cascade configuration varies and depends on the cascade type and the number of boilers in the cascade set. Furthermore, headers and connecting set couplings come in different sizes, depending on the cascade configuration (see Table 4.1, Table 4.2 and Table 4.3).
