    Benchmark's modulating capability relates energy input directly to fluctuating system loads. The maximum turn down ratios for the BMK 1000 and BMK 750 are 20:1 and 15:1, respectively. Both BMK models provide extremely high efficiencies and make them ideally suited for modern low temperature, as well as, conventional heating systems.

    Each Benchmark Boiler System is shipped as a single crated unit. The shipping weights for the BMK 750 and BMK 1000 Models are approximately 1100 and 1200 pounds, respectively. The unit must be moved with the proper rigging equipment for safety and to avoid equipment damage.

  • Page 16: Site Preparation

    The unit must be installed with the prescribed clearances for service as shown in Figure 2-1a. The minimum clearance dimensions, required by AERCO, are listed below. However, if Local Building Codes require additional clearances, these codes shall supersede AERCO’s requirements. Minimum acceptable clearances required are as follows: •...

    While it is possible to change the settings of temperature related functions, the unit is factory preset with settings that work well in most applications. It is suggested that an AERCO representative be contacted, prior to changing any temperature related function settings. For descriptions of temperature-related functions and their factory defaults, refer to Appendices A and E.

    Installations with 1 to 8 boilers can use BST (see Chapter 10). The ACS mode of operation is used in conjunction with the AERCO Control System. The ACS mode is used when it is desired to operate multiple units in the most efficient manner possible.

    A Combination Control System (CCS) is one that uses multiple boilers to cover both space- heating and domestic hot water needs. An AERCO Control System (ACS) and An optional ACS Relay Box are necessary to configure this system. Typically, an adequate number of boilers are installed to cover the space-heating load on the design day, however one or more units are used for the domestic hot water load.
