The room where the boiler will be placed should be under normal indoor environmental conditions. The boiler should not be installed in areas of high humidity, or places where there is a possibility of excessive heat or freezing. The unit should be located on a solid, flat & level surface due to the weight of the unit and being on wheels. If required the wheels can be removed and the unit bolted to the solid floor for added security.
It is mandatory to connect the boiler to the individual grounding line. If this is not done, the device will not be commissioned by LOTUS authorized service, the device will be out of warranty and LOTUS shall not be liable for any possible damages / problems.
Any device selected must be suitable for use and not unduly affect the flow rate capacity to the Lotus industrial model boiler unit, consult the manufacturer of the device for details. If any anti calcification treatment is not applied, combi boiler device will be out of guarantee.
The Lotus industrial model boiler unit initial primary system cold needs to be filled step by step and complete adding water must be done up to top when the boiler tempreature is around the upper limit. Then air purge can be placed.
Positioning the Lotus industrial model boiler unit Decide where the Lotus industrial model boiler unit is to be installed. Reference must be made to the dimensions of the unit and the minimum access space requirements. For maintenance the boiler should...
