Important: Even if the burner is delivered by ARCA, it has not the same warranty as the boiler. Its warranty depends on the conditions established by its producer. Authorised personnel must effectuate the installation, the first ignition...
4.1 MINIMAL VALUE OF THE BURNER OUTPUT AT FIRST STAGE If you have a two-stage burner, the first flame has to be set according to the values shown in the following table in order to prevent boiler corrosion. The smoke temperature is not to be lower than 120°C. MIN.
5.2 JACKET MOUNTING MK 55÷170 − Place the generator Ref.1 in the boiler room and make all hydraulic and smoke discharge duct connections. − Wrap the boiler body with glass fibre insulation Ref.2, by cutting it near the flow duct and fix it by means of Ref.3 holding strips.

PRK 320÷740 − Place the generator Ref.1 in the boiler room and make all hydraulic and smoke discharge duct connections. − Wrap the boiler body with glass fibre insulation Ref.2, by cutting it near the flow duct and fix it by means of Ref.3 holding strips.
5.3 ANTICONDENSATION PUMP In order to avoid system damages caused by unburnt gas condensation, it is necessary to insert a circulating pump between the flow and the return. The anti-condensation output can be calculated as follows: − 1° method = boiler / 45 = l/h −...
6.3 REDUCED OUTPUT RUNNING The reduced output running of MK and PRK boilers can be successfully used during autumn and spring and when the system runs partially. To obtain it extract all the metal spiral coils from ducts. This operation results in an increasing in smoke temperature so that it is necessary to reduce the burner capacity of about 30%.
6.7 BOILER WATER The boiler water quality is a basic element for its safety and good running. A bad water quality can damage both the boiler and the system. It can result in exchange surface incrustations and corrosions. A water treatment and a steady water control can avoid these consequences. It is advisable to ask for a specialized water treatment and control.
7. MAINTENANCE 7.1 EVERYDAY MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS Maintenance operations must be carried out at least once a year in accordance with local regulations. Maintenance operations must be carried out by lawful personnel, their name has to be written on the "System book".
7.3 DOOR TIGHTNESS CONTROL In case there are door leakages, it is better to tighten the door screwing system after having loosened all lock nuts. If the problem remains, verify the elasticity of the ceramic fibre insulation and, if necessary, replace it. 7.4 BOILER SCALING To extend boiler life and not to cause steel sheet overheating, a periodic scaling is necessary.
8. CERTIFICATIONS MK and PRK boilers satisfy the following European regulations: • 92/42/CEE about the efficiency of gas or liquefied combustion boilers. • 90/396/CEE about gas devices. The electrical devices satisfy the following European regulations: • 73/23/CEE about low voltage. •...
