2.3.2 Circulation pumps The Remeha Avanta Plus 18s, 24s, 30s, 24c and 28c are fitted with the Grundfos UPR 15-60 and the Avanta Plus 35c and 39c with the UPR 15-70, two-speed circulation pumps. The control unit ensures that when the hot-water function is active, the pump runs at ‘high’.
Remeha Avanta Plus Please ensure that the new boiler plant is not in circuit when the flushing takes place, especially if cleansing chemicals are used to assist the process. It is important to check the inhibitor concentration after installa- tion, system modifications, filling the system and every service in accordance with these instructions.
2.3.6 Expansion vessel An 8 litre expansion vessel (with the vessel charge set to 1.0 bar) is fitted as standard within the boiler case and is suitable for use in a heating system with a water content up to 100 litres, operating at a flow temperature of 80°C, a maximum pressure of 3 bar and a maximum system static head of 5 metres above the boiler.
• Fit the inlet pipe for CH water to the ‘CH return’ 22 mm Ø connection. The Remeha Avanta Plus has a drain cock built into the return isolating valve It is considered good practice to install an air separator / dirt removal device in the return to the boiler.
Connecting condensate drain LT.AL.W7H.000.018 2.3.11 Connecting under floor heating The Remeha Avanta Plus can be connected directly to an under floor heating system. If plastic pipes have been used they must be made oxygen dif- fusion proof in compliance with DIN 4726/4729...
2 m above the ground, balcony, or flat roof where access by persons is possible a suitable guard must be employed. The boiler will produce a water vapour plume during normal operation. Positions for the Remeha Avanta Plus are shown in the figure and table 02.

Combustion checking/setting must be carried out by a com- petent person. It must not be carried out unless that person is equipped with a combustion analyser which conforms to the relevant British Standards. When checking/setting the air/gas ratio setting in full load it may be necessary to run water through the domestic hot water circuit to allow time for this part of the procedure, this will pre- vent the boiler from cycling on low heating demands (Combi...

Combi boiler operation The Remeha Avanta Plus 24c, 28c, 35c and 39c are combi- nation boilers with an integral plate heat exchanger provid- ing instant domestic hot water. On opening a hot water tap, detected by a flow sensor, which is located on the cold water inlet side of the heat exchanger detects the demand.
System boiler operation The Remeha Avanta Plus 18s, 24s and 30s have the same design and layout as the combi range without the DHW com- ponents (three way valve and plate heat exchanger).
8.3.4 Low flow / water protection The Remeha Avanta Plus has a low-water protection based on temperature readings. By modulating down as soon as there is a risk of an insufficient water flow, the boiler will keep work- ing for as long as possible. An insufficient water flow, however caused, - indicated by a flow/return dt ] 45°C or a rate of...
