Introduction; Safety; General; Training - Harsco Industrial MACH C1500GG Installation & Owner's Manual

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The MACH® Gas-Fired Boiler is fully modulating using a variable speed combustion blower, sophisticated
microprocessor controls, dual modulating gas safety shut off / control valves and a unique aluminum alloy heat
exchanger capable of operating in a fully condensing mode to provide maximum efficiency in a minimum amount of
space. The high-quality materials and thoroughly tested design of the boiler should provide years of trouble-free
service if the instructions in this manual are followed carefully.
This manual covers installation of MACH® Boilers. The model numbers may be followed by a prefix or suffix letter in
some cases to indicate special features or different options.
While details may differ slightly, basic operation is the same for all models. Boilers may be built to operate with
natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas (propane). Some MACH® boilers are certified to use both fuels (although not
simultaneously). Check the rating plate for correct fuel usage and gas pressures.
The boiler is only a part of the complete heating system. This boiler may be fully operational and yet because of poor
circulation, control, or other operating characteristics, not deliver heat to the desired location. Additional equipment
such as temperature sensors, pumps, flow switches, balancing valves, and check valves will be required for
satisfactory operation of any system. Harsco Industrial, Patterson-Kelley cannot be responsible for the design or
operation of such systems and a qualified engineer or contractor must be consulted.
