Storing Viessmann shell boilers

Recommendation for corrosion prevention
Please follow all instructions carefully.
Applicability of instructions
Storage of boilers until system installation.
General
■ Store Viessmann shell boilers in closed rooms, pro-
tected from weather influences and under dry condi-
tions.
The room temperature must not fall below 0 °C or
■
exceed 50 °C.
■ Viessmann shell boilers are delivered equipped with
blank flanges or protective caps on the water side,
for protection against the ingress of foreign bodies.
■ To prevent the formation of condensate on the boiler:
– Remove the transport packaging after delivery or
– Protect the boiler against moisture by using a des-
iccant.
(cont.)
All other use is deemed inappropriate. Any resulting
losses are excluded from the manufacturer's liability.
Any usage beyond this must be approved by the man-
ufacturer in each individual case.
Intended use presupposes that a permanent installa-
tion in conjunction with permissible components
designed for this purpose has been carried out.
Intended use also includes adherence to maintenance
and inspection intervals.
Storage period 4 weeks

■ Protect the interior of the shell boiler against mois-
ture. Use a desiccant, e.g. silica gel, on the flue gas
and water side.
Use the appropriate amount of desiccant for the vol-
■
ume of the boiler.
Note
Observe the desiccant manufacturer's instructions.
■ Check the effectiveness of the desiccant at regular
intervals.
Ensure that the desiccant does not come into contact
■
with the boiler material.
Recommendation
Fill suitable containers with desiccant. Suspend the
containers in the boiler body.
Instead of extracting the moisture on the flue gas
■
side by means of a desiccant, a dryer with air circula-
tion can also be used.
■ Coat the dry flue gas side of the shell boiler with a
thin film of graphite or varnish.
