Filling Boiler With Water And Purging Air For
Systems With Diaphragm Type Expansion Tanks
Refer to the appropriate diagrams,"Near Boiler Piping" on
page 11 for more information.
1. Close all zone service valves on the supply and return
piping. Open the feed valve and fill boiler with water.
Make sure air vent is open. Hold relief valve open until
water runs air free for five seconds to rapidly bleed air
from boiler, then let the relief valve snap shut.
2.
Open the zone service valve on the supply pipe for the
first zone. Open the purge valve on the first zone. Feed
water will fill the zone, pushing air out the purge valve.
Close the purge valve when the water runs air free.
Close the zone service valve.
3.
Repeat step 2 for all remaining zones.
4. Open all service valves. Any air remaining trapped in
the return lines between the service valves and the
boiler will be pushed towards the air vent when the
boiler is placed in operation.
5.
Inspect piping system. Repair any leaks immediately.
Purging Air For Systems With Conventional
Closed Type Expansion Tanks:
Refer to the appropriate diagrams"Near Boiler Piping" on
page 11 for more information.
1.
Close all zone service valves on the supply and return
piping and close the expansion tank service valve.
Drain expansion tank. Open the feed valve and fill
boiler with water. Hold relief valve open until water
runs air free for five seconds to rapidly bleed air from
boiler, then let the relief valve snap shut.
2.
Open the zone service valve on the supply pipe for the
first zone. Open the purge valve on the first zone. Feed
water will fill the zone, pushing air out the purge valve.
Close the purge valve when the water runs air free.
Close the zone service valve.
3.
Repeat step 2 for all remaining zones.
4.
Open the expansion tank service valve and the tank
vent. Fill the tank to the proper level and close the
tank vent. Remove the handle from the expansion tank
service valve so the homeowner doesn't accidentally
close it.
5. Open all service valves. Any air remaining trapped in
the return lines between the service valves and the
boiler will be pushed towards the expansion tank when
the boiler is placed in operation.
6.
Inspect piping system. Repair any leaks immediately.
Control - System Startup
At initial start up, with the Economy feature active, the
control establishes a 145°F target temperature. To test
the high limit shut-off function, the Economy dial must be
turned to OFF. Once tested, restore the Economy setting.
If the heating demand is high, the target will increase over
time to satisfy the heat load.
How Thermal Targeting Works
Thermal targeting technology analyzes thermostat activity
and continually evaluates how much heat the house
requires.
When it is very cold outside, heat demand is high and limit
control will raise boilers target temperature to provide
heat.
When outside temperature is mild, heat demand is low.
Limit control will lower boiler's target temperature saving
fuel.
