COMPONENTS The superheated water boilers ASX feature a series of components that can be divided into: – Safety components (safety valves, safety pressure switch, safety thermostat). – Indicator components (temperature indicator, pressure gauge, flame warning light). – Adjustment components (Thermostat). In the descriptions below, accessories are divided based on the values they control.
SAFETY VALVES The safety valves are able to maintain the pressure in the generator to the design pressure (save temporary peaks of 10% max of the max PS of the whole) even if all other pressure control devices (pressure switches and transmitters) are out of use. These valves are regulated by specific national and international standards, therefore they are sized, tested, installed and maintained in compliance with the applicable regulations and the contents of this manual.
VALVE MAINTENANCE The valve is a very delicate mechanism, so the system operator must check its efficiency. If necessary, contact a technician authorised by the manufacturer. It is good practice for the safety valves installed to protect the plant: – to be operated (once a week) with system pressurised, by activating the manual lifting lever of the shutter –...
CONTROL PANEL The boiler ASX is equipped with a control panel for the management and control of the equipment. The type of panel is chosen based on the boiler configuration. For more details refer to the layout and wiring diagram provided with the installed panel.

WATER CHARACTERISTICS The values in the following tables are extracted from tables 5.1 and 5.2 in EN 12953-10 (requirements concerning the quality of water supply and the water in the generator). Even for generators that are not covered by the aforementioned provision it is however necessary to adopt at least the indicated limits and however, to refer to the specialised companies that manage selecting the type of treatment to be carried out on the basis of a thorough analysis of the water available.
Page 31
NOTE These values are valid assuming the presence of a thermal deaerator. In the absence of the deaerator, it is appropriate, however, to raise the temperature of the water contained in the tank to at least 80°C to reduce the content of dissolved gas (O and CO It is, in any case, appropriate to use chemical conditioning to de-oxygenate the water supply completely and to minimise the corrosive CO...
PRELIMINARY CHECKS IMPORTANT – Before start-up, open the door and insert the turbulators completely inside the front ends of the smoke pipes, taking care to push them inside by at least 100 mm. – Check that all fittings are fully tightened. –...
Page 33
COMMISSIONING Start up the boiler as follows: 1) Power the boiler control panel on the general switch. 2) Make sure that the pressurization system has efficiently set the system to the minimum pressure. 3) The boiler must be operated at reduced power (max 50%) until reaching the water operating temperature in order to avoid thermal shocks and thermal expansions between the various parts of the body.During the start-up phase, it is recommended to limit the flow rate of the water passing through the boiler in order to reduce the condensation phenomenon and the consequent acid corrosion of the parts in contact with flue gases.The critical dew point temperature is approximately 57°C with methane gas...
CHECKS AFTER COMMISSIONING The system must be operated properly in order, on the one hand, to ensure an optimal combustion with reduced emissions into the atmosphere of carbon oxide, unburnt hydrocarbons and soot and, on the other, to prevent material damage and injuries to persons.
Page 35
The pressurisation must fall within the values indicated in the table of the technical data. IMPORTANT The temperature difference between flow and return must not exceed 30°C in order to avoid thermal shocks to the boiler. The return temperature from the system must be higher than 50°C with operation with methane gas or LPG and 40°C with operation with fuel oil or naphtha to protect the boiler against corrosion due to the acid condensate of flue gases.
Maintenance Periodic maintenance is an obligation required by the safety Legislation and duration of the appliance, and it must only be entrusted to professionally qualified personnel. The frequency of the operations is shown in the specific paragraph. IMPORTANT Before performing any maintenance or cleaning: –...
