ANTI-CONDENSATE PUMP An anti-condensate pump operates during periods of no heat request to avoid damage until the boiler returns to a stable operating temperature. While the system is oper- ating, this pump must guarantee a flow rate between 20 and 30% of maximum flow, must ensure a water return temperature no lower than the minimum permissible (see technical data) and must also delay shutting down for at least 3 minutes at the beginning of extended periods of...
The stack must guarantee the minimum draught Joints must be sealed using appropriate materials specified by applicable technical standards, (e.g. filler, mastic or silicone based sealant). assuming zero pressure at the connection to the flue gas exhaust. Uninsulated flues are potentially dangerous and Inadequate or badly dimensioned stacks and exhausts can cause burns.

PREPARING FOR INITIAL START-UP It is essential to perform the following checks before starting up or testing the functioning of your THERMITAL THE/TG 3S boiler. In particular, check that: - The water and gas cocks are open. - There is an adequate fuel supply.
INITIAL START-UP Once you have completed all the preparatory steps, proceed as follows to start up the boiler for the first time: - If the system is equipped with a temperature controller or timer thermostat, make sure that it is switched on. - Adjust the timer thermostat/s or temperature controller to the desired temperature (~20°...
CHECKS DURING AND AFTER INITIAL START-UP Once the boiler has started up, make sure that it shuts down and re-starts properly when the following actions are taken: - The boiler thermostat setting is changed - Power to the control panel is switched off and on again - The room thermostat or timer thermostat is adjusted.
MAINTENANCE Have your boiler serviced either by THERMITAL’s Regular maintenance is a legal requirement. It is also essential for the safety, efficiency and durability of the Technical Assistance Service or by a qualified heating boiler. Proper maintenance keeps consumption and engineer.
CLEANING THE BOILER Clean the boiler and remove any carbon deposits from the surfaces of the heat exchanger at least once a year. This not only extends the boiler’s working life, but also keeps it efficient in terms of heat output and consumption. Proceed as follows to clean the boiler.
