mounting oF expansion
tank
Mount the expansion tank at least
200mm higher than the highest point
of the heating system or boiler. If the
expansion tank is mounted in a wardrobe
for example, Alde's protective housing
should be mounted around the expansion
tank. This will stop accidental splashes
coming in contact with clothing.
Leave a space of at least 220 mm above
the expansion tank for topping up and
service.
Screw down fixing plate (D 16) onto the
wall and mount the expansion tank. The
expansion tank can be turned round
mirror fashion if the connection pipe does
not conform to the heating system's pipe.
The incoming pipe are always in the
middle and outgoing pipe next to it (see
Fig. D).
The air vent hose (D 17) shall be assem­
bled vertically upwards and clamped
down so that creases cannot form in the
hose.
The over-fill hose (D 18) shall be
mounted so that it goes the shortest
route from the expansion tank, and into
the bilge or a suitable container. Cut the
hose obliquely at a 30º angle.
After the heating system has been filled,
the rubber gasket shall be mounted on
the tank, and secured with the nut (D 20).
ConneCtion to tHe
Heating system
The LPG boiler's connection pipe to the
heating system (Ø 22 mm) is located on
the side of the boiler. Red marking for
outgoing flow pipe (F 21) and blue for
incoming return pipe (F 22).
Domestic types of panel radiator can
be specified. The Compact 3010 output
allows up to five 1kW. - Panel type radia­
tors to be installed. These should be
installed on a 22mm system with 15mm
T connections to the radiators. Thermo­
static valves should be fitted to allow
balancing the heat throughout the boat
or the shuting off of heat to some areas.
On larger systems or those plummed in
15mm an inline pump and second expan­
sion tank may be required.
Alde also produce a range of convectors
suitable for corridor and furniture instal­
lation. These can be fitted in conjuction
with Panel type radiators. Up to 14m
of convector is possible. All windows
should have a radiator or convector fit­
ted beneath them when possible. Care
should be taken to match the output of
the radiators, convectors and calorifier
to that of the boiler to ensure maximum
efficiency.
Use assembly set with automatic bleeder
and automatic circulation stop for mount­
ing on the boiler. Connect the outgoing
pipe with the rubber T pipe (F 23). The
draining hose (F 25) should go into the
bilge or a suitable container. The hose
shall be cut obliquely at a 30° angle.
nb! do not start the boiler on gas or
electric without first filling the heating
system.
nb! If a 230­volt pump is mounted, it
must be connected to the return pipe.
The rubber connections must be secured
with spring band clamp.
A thin layer of Loctite 5923 should
be applied to the joints to seal them
between the rubber connections.
nb! In operation, the heating system
reaches a high temperature. Therefore,
the heating pipes should be insulated or
built in so that crew and passengers do
not come into contact with them.
nb! Copper pipes or joints should
not be used in the system. aluminium
pipes alone are best. do not mix dif-
ferent metals as this can give rise to
serious corrosion damage.
ConneCtion to tHe
FresH-Water system
In order that the warm water heater shall
function, it must be connected to the
boat's fresh water system.
The fresh water connections are located
on both sides of the boiler. Blue marking
for incoming cold fresh water and red for
outgoing warm water.
A safety valve must always be connected
to the warm water heater. Safety valves
are available in two different models. If
incoming pressure to the warm water
heater exceeds 0.3MPa (3 bar) a pres­
sure reducing valve must be installed.
The pressure reducing valve shall be
installed with a maximum of 0.3 MPa (3
bar) and have a minimum capacity of
5dm³/min.
1. external safety valve with
built-in drain.
Alde Article No. 3000 498 Safety/Drain
valve shall be mounted on the cold water
hose into the heater.
Drill a Ø 16mm hole in the floor for the
drain hose, and then screw down the
safety/drain valve into the floor. Let the
draining hose empty into the keelson or
into a separate collecting vessel.
Mount the hose connection (F 26) on the
incoming nipple. Assemble in the follow­
ing order, nut (G 30), clamp ring (G 31),
O­ring (G 32) and last of all, hose nipple
(Fig. G 33). Connect the safety/drain
valve to the hose connection.
nb! The safety/drain valve must not be
mounted higher than the hose connec­
tion.
After that, mount the angle connection
with built­in bleed valve on outgoing con­
nection (F 27).
This shall be mounted in the same way
as the hose connection. Mount the bleed
hose (G 28) on the valves hose sleeve.
It should drain into the bilge or a suitable
container. The hose shall be cut obliquely
at a 30° angle. The hose must not be
blocked.
Only use genuine Alde valves.
2. Fixed-mounted safety
valve.
Alde Article No. 3000 290 Safety/Drain
valve shall be pre­mounted via a T con­
nection on the outgoing connection of
the boiler). A draining hose with 10mm
interior diameter shall be connected from
the safety valve's outlet pipe. The hose
shall be led out through the floor and cut
obliquely at a 30° angle. Let the draining
hose empty into the keelson or a sepa­
rate collecting vessel. The hose must not
be blocked.
Mount the hose nipples on the incoming
and outgoing connections.
A drain cock for emptying the boiler
should be mounted on the incoming con­
nection. Only use genuine Alde valves.

Lpg ConneCtion

Remove the protective cap from the gas
pipe on the boiler (F 29).
Make the LPG installation to the boiler
with an 8mm pipe connection and con­
nect to the boiler's gas pipe with clamp
ring connections.
When laying the pipe, remember that the
boiler has to be dismounted for service.
The boiler should be connected to an
LPG cylinder with type­approved pres­
sure reducing valve and a pressure of 30
mbar.
nb! national regulations must be
adhered to when installing Lpg.
