− When using oxygen permeable PEX, the system must be separated from the boiler by a heat exchanger. − A correctly sized and working expansion vessel must be Fig. 9 Array AR 3000 and AR 4000 Connections installed. − Excessive flow can cause erosion damage to the heat exchanger.
INSTALLATION 4.11 Condensate Drain and Piping “33 LWCO/Air inlet block”. At this point press the Reset button. The error will turn off. The Array Boiler is designed to condense water vapor from the Module level: flue products. Each heat exchanger of the boiler is equipped a Low Water Cut Off (LWCO) sensor is installed on top of the supply with a condensate trap (see Fig.
The maximum condensate flow cfh for AR 4000, and maintain the recommended minimum rate is 23.8 GPH for Array AR 3000 and 31.7 GPH for Array AR 4000. gas pressure at 8” w.c. while operating the burners at The drain line must be removable for routine maintenance.
