  • Page 7: General Boiler Information

    Open flued (Type B23 flue) Alpha CD90S and CD115S boilers leave the factory with 'B23' type configuration (open chamber and forced draught - single flue pipe) and receive the air for combustion from openings in the rear of the boiler, therefore air supply for combustion and ventilation must be provided in accordance with BS6644.
  • Page 8 Alpha CD90S and CD115S boilers leave the factory with 'B23' type flue configuration (open chamber and forced draught - single flue pipe). To change the configuration to 'C' type (sealed chamber and forced draught - concentric flue pipe), remove the 80 mm dia.
  • Page 9 3.4.1 Horizontal Flue Options L max L max Open flue: 80 mm dia. single pipe Lmax = 17 m (CD90S), 14 m (CD115S) 90° bend is equivalent to 2.1 m of flue length 45° bend is equivalent to 1.3 m of flue length Concentric flue: 80/125 mm dia.
  • Page 10 A terminal must not be sited below 2.1 m where people have access to, such as public footpaths, access routes, patios etc. However, If the terminal is fitted less than 2.1 m above a surface where there is no public access, the terminal must be protected by a terminal guard. A suitable guard is available from Alpha Therm Ltd. Boundary Fig.
  • Page 11: Flow 2

    To ensure the boiler heat exchanger is protected from contamination, we strongly recommend the use of a barrier heat exchanger when installing these boilers. Barrier heat exchangers are available from Alpha Therm Ltd.. If the boiler is to be used with an open central heating system refer to Fig. 8 and use a barrier heat exchanger (i.e. separates the boiler primary circuit from the open heating circuit).
  • Page 12 3.10 FLUSHING THE HEATING SYSTEM It is essential that the central heating system is thoroughly cleaned and flushed when fitting an Alpha CD50S or CD70S boiler. Failure to do so will invalidate the warranty. If this is difficult because the system is old/dirty refer to Section 3.8, Fig.
  • Page 13 3.11 DISPOSAL OF CONDENSATE Provision must be made for the safe disposal of condensate produced by the flue gases of the Alpha CD90S or CD115S boilers and reference should be made to BS 6644 for the requirements on the disposal of condensate.

  • Page 15 Ensure the seal is pushed in position against the ceiling. The maximum vertical length (without bends) for flue pipe is 17 m (CD90S) or 14 m (CD115S) (see Figs. 15 and 16).
  • Page 16 Extensions for horizontal kit - The horizontal kit can be extended up to a maximum horizontal distance of 10 m (CD90S) or 14 m (CD115S) (Fig. 20), including the flue terminal and excluding the flue bend on the boiler (refer to Section 3.4).
  • Page 17 Ensure that there is sufficient free cable to allow the control panel to be raised and lowered then tighten the cable clamp screws. Leave the control panel open until commissioning procedures have been completed. Carry out electrical system checks - Short circuit, Polarity, Earth continuity and Resistance to earth with a suitable multimeter. Alpha CD90S/115S - Installation...
