Page 10: Technical Data Efb Boilers
TECHNICAL DATA EFB BOILERS UNCTIONAL INTRODUCTION EFB boilers are Gas Condensing central heating boilers with a very high efficiency. Such a performance can be reached by, amongst other things, using a special heat exchanger made of stainless steel. This allows the flue gases to cool down below the condensation point, and so release extra heat. -

A wall or stand to properly support the weight of the boiler. The wall used for mounting the boiler must be able to hold the weight of the boiler. If not, it is recommended to mount the boiler by means of a frame available from Lochinvar. -
Page 17: Boiler Installation Location Requirements
OILER NSTALLATION OCATION EQUIREMENTS Other considerations related to the boiler location. The ventilation of the boiler room must meet local and national standards and regulations, regardless of the selected supply of fresh air to the boiler. The flue gas pipes must be connected to the outside wall and/or the outside roof. ... -
Page 18: Mounting The Boiler
OUNTING THE BOILER Before mounting and installing the boiler the following connections must be considered: Flue gas system and the flue gas pipe connections Power supply (preferably the power connection posi- tioned above the boiler) Air supply system and connections ... -
Page 19: Connections
CONNECTIONS OILER CONNECTIONS 1 – Flow (Hot water out) 2 – Return (Cold water in) 3 – Gas 4 – Condensate trap cleaning point 5 – Condensate drain 6 – Automatic air vent. Strain on the gas valve and fittings may result in vibration, premature component failure and leakage and may result in a fire, explosion, property damage or serious injury. -
Page 20: Flow And Return Connections
A suitable kit of components is available from Lochinvar. EHS.T0501.100 RESSURE RELIEF VALVE The boiler has no internal pressure relief valve. This must be installed close to the boiler in the flow pipe of the heating system. When having cascaded boilers, each boiler must have its own pressure relief valve. -
Page 21: Bypass
YPASS The boiler has no internal bypass. When many thermostatic valves are being used, the system must have a bypass to allow an adequate flow when all thermostatic valves are closed. Instead of a bypass also a low-loss header can be used for this function. The boiler flow will also be influenced when a pipe of the heating system is frozen / blocked. -

Page 23: Chemical Water Treatment
7.13 HEMICAL WATER TREATMENT The chemical compatibility of several products for treatment of the central heating equipment has been tested on the heat exchangers and the boilers. See below for the list with the corrosion inhibitors in preventative and curative treatment for gas fired central heating boilers. If water treatment is required when filling the system or preforming maintenance an inhibitor must be used. -
Page 24: Plastic Piping In The Heating System
7.15 LASTIC PIPING IN THE HEATING SYSTEM When plastic pipes with no oxygen barrier are used in the central heating system, these must be separated from the boiler system by using a plate heat exchanger. Diffusion (through the plastic) can cause air to enter the heating system. This could damage the boiler, pumps and other components in the system. -

12 TEMPERATURE PROTECTION The difference between supply temperature and return temperature is continuously monitored (ΔT). If this becomes too high it can indicate a defective pump or a clogged heat exchanger. To protect the boiler, the burner controller reduces the input when the temperature difference ΔT becomes too high: At maximum boiler input ΔT is limited to 35°C (63 °F) - (Hx_Diff_DeltaT_Min ) In between 35°C (63 °F) and 43 °C (77 °F) boiler input modulates between minimum and maximum. -

Page 95: 14 Cascading
14 CASCADING 14.1 YSTEM SETUP The boiler controller can control multiple boilers in a cascade setup. A system sensor is necessary to measure the cascade system supply temperature. The sensor is connected to the boiler controller. A pump output is also available to run the system pump, as well as an output for the DHW pump. When the CH supply temperature is calculated based on an outdoor sensor, only one outdoor sensor is needed. -

Page 106: 16 Commissioning The Boiler
16 COMMISSIONING THE BOILER 16.1 IRST FLUSHING THE BOILER WITH WATER After installation of the boiler the first step, before commissioning, is to flush the boiler and the whole heating installation with fresh water to remove pollution, debris and other materials that might cause a blocking. This must also be done with heating installations, where only the boiler is replaced. -
Page 107: Mounting Condensate Trap
16.4 OUNTING ONDENSATE When mounting the bottom part of the condensate trap, before commissioning the boiler and/or after maintenance, it must ALWAYS be completely filled with water. This is a safety measure: the water in the condensate trap keeps the flue gases from leaking out of the heat exchanger via the condensate drain. -
Page 108: 17 Adjusting And Setting The Boiler
17 ADJUSTING AND SETTING THE BOILER Before carrying out any adjustment of the burner, carefully read this complete chapter. The initial lighting of the appliance must be performed by a fully trained competent Engineer. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, serious injury or death. As soon as the appliance has been fully installed (with regard to hydraulics, filling and de-aeration of installation, gas, flue gas, air intake, wiring etc.) according to the preliminary installation instructions, the boiler may then be wired to an electrically grounded power supply source. -
