Filling The Sealed System Primary Circuit; Check The Operation Of The Safety Valves - Heatrae Sadia ELECTROMAX Installation & Servicing Instructions Manual

7.2 Filling The Sealed System Primary
Circuit
a. The primary system must be flushed
in accordance with BS 7593 and the
manufacturer's instructions supplied
with the flushing agent selected.
b. Connect the Primary Filling Loop and
tighten connections (see Diagram
15).
c. Check all radiator valves are in the
open position.
d. Open the Filling Loop isolating valves
and allow primary system to fill until
the pressure gauge on the fascia of
the Electromax reads approx. 2.0
bar.
e. Purge air from all radiators and air
vent points in the primary system.
f. Check the primary system pressure.
This should be between 1.0 and
1.5 bar. If lower, open Filling Loop
isolating valves until gauge reads
approx. 2.0 bar. Repeat air purging
operation. This sequence may need
to be repeated several times to ensure
all air is purged from the system.
g. Check primary system for leaks and
rectify as necessary.
h. When the pressure gauge remains
steady at between 1.0 and 1.5 bar
ensure both Filling Loop isolating
valves are closed and remove Filling
Loop flexible hose from the Primary
system connection point.
7.3 Check The Operation of the Safety
Valves
a. Slowly manually open, for a few
seconds, the Temperature and Pressure
Relief Valve on the Electromax (see
Diagram 16). Check water discharged
runs freely away through the tundish
and discharge pipework. Close valve,
ensure water flow stops and valve
reseats correctly.

c. Repeat the above steps for the
Primary System Pressure Relief Valve
on the Electromax (see Diagram 16).
After this operation check that the
primary system pressure has not
dropped below 1.0 bar. If it has re-
connect the Filling Loop and refill until
the gauge reads between 1.0 and 1.5
bar. Always close Filling Loop isolating
valves and remove hose from the
primary system.
