According to the selected configuration a secondary low water level controller, a high-water level controller and a modulating water level controller can be installed in the system additionally. Minimum one piece of level controller must be installed for ELKBJ systems. Figure Ap.4.8.12Automatic Water Level Controller sensor positions Low water level sensor is appr.
Figure Ap. 4.9 Reflex Glass Boiler Water Level Indicator There is at least one piece of reflex glass type, level indicator in ELKBJ boiler configuration. The most frequently used models are Reflex Glass types with the dimension 310 mm & 400 mm (these are the distances between connection flanges).
The manometers must be connected onto a siphon (or omega) type tube. This prevents the manometer from getting harmed by high temperature and sudden pressure hit. Some water is added into the siphon before connecting the manometer. 2024 Akkaya Isı Makinaları A.Ş., All rights reserved. ELKBJ USER MANUAL - 2024-rev00 (NA-01.01.2024)
Figure Ap. 4.13 Boiler Temperature Sensor ELKBJ model boilers’ control panel is equipped with a digital heat indicator and alarm system, receiving the heat value by the help of a thermocouple placed on the boiler top. This heat controller is a safety device. It saves the boiler from getting damaged by low or high temperature.
APPENDIX 4.15 Electrical Control Board Figure Ap. 4.15 Electrical Control Board A PLC board is provided in the standard package of ELKBJ model boilers. The control board contains the boiler operation system, and the safety system controls.
