V locating the Boiler WARNING Failure to observe the following location requirements could result in property damage, a fire, explosion or carbon monoxide (CO) hazard. 1) Clearances: • Observe the minimum clearances shown below. Except as noted, these clearances apply to all combustible construction, as well as noncombustible walls, ceilings and doors.
1) Do not install this boiler directly on a combustible floor. Where it is desired to install an FWZ on a non-carpeted combustible floor, install the boiler on a base constructed as shown in Figure 5.1 2) If listed Type L vent is used, follow vent pipe manufacturer recommendations for minimum clearances. 3) Do not install this boiler in a location where gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids will be stored or used.

a. For Buildings of Other than unusually tight construction 1) Determine whether the boiler is to be installed in a confined space - A confined space is defined as having a volume less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU/hr input of all appliances installed in that space. To determine whether the boiler room is a confined space: a) Total the input of all appliances in the boiler room in thousands of BTU/hr.

VII Venting WARNING • Improper venting may result in property damage and/or the release of flue gases, which contain deadly carbon monoxide (CO), into the home, which can cause severe personal injury or death. • Inspect existing chimney before installing boiler. Failure to clean or replace damaged pipe or tile lining will cause property damage, severe personal injury or death.

Certain types of heating systems have additional requirements. Some of the more common variations follow: 1) Indirect Water Heaters - Figure 8.3 shows typical indirect water heater piping. Boiler piping is the same as for any two zone system. Figure 8.3 shows circulator zoning, which is usually preferred for indirect water heaters. Size the circulator and indirect water heater piping to obtain the boiler water flow through the indirect water heater called for by the indirect water heater manufacturer.

IX Fuel line Piping WARNING • Under no circumstances can copper with sweat style connectors be used. • Do not use compression fittings. • Oil piping must be absolutely airtight or leaks or loss of prime may result. • Some jurisdictions require the use of a fusible shutoff valve at the tank and/or the burner. In addition, some jurisdictions require the use of a fusible electrical interlock with the burner circuit.
Page 23
10) All systems require an oil filter. Use of a high efficiency micron filter (Garber or equivalent) in addition to a conventional filter is highly recommended, particularly on FWZ060 and FWZ080. 11) Use only #2 Fuel Oil with physical and chemical characteristics meeting the requirements of ASTM D-396.
X Wiring WARNING • All wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70). • Disconnect electrical power to the boiler and heating system before servicing. Positively assure that no voltage is present.
Page 26
• Do not attempt to use EnviraCOM connections for any purpose not explicitly permitted by Crown Boiler Company. Attempting to do so may result in unreliable operation and/ or damage to controls. • Do not use the transformer provided on the boiler to power external devices such as...

XI start-up and checkout WARNI NG • Never attempt to fill a hot empty boiler. • Make sure that the area around the boiler is clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. • Safe reliable operation of this boiler requires that the burner be checked and adjusted by a qualified oil serviceman using combustion test instruments.
Page 30
FIGurE 11.0: FluE DraFt taPPInG 15) Make sure that the oil pressure matches that shown in Table 11.1 for the burner supplied. Adjust pressure if required. 16) Check the vacuum at the inlet of the fuel pump. Make sure that the vacuum does not exceed the fuel pump manufacturer’s limit (consult the pump manufacturer’s instructions).

XII Operation a. General Information This boiler uses a proprietary version of the Honeywell L7248L Aquastat to regulate water temperature and to manage ® demands from up to two circulator zones. Crown offers several options that can be used with this control and which are mounted in a console on top of the boiler. These include a touch screen display, low water cut-off kits, and an outdoor reset control.

Page 36
HdF (High limit differential) - If the boiler shuts off on high limit, the water temperature must fall by an amount equal to the differential during the same call for heat before the burner will again start. For example, with HL=180 and HdF=15, the burner will shut off if the water temperature exceeds 180F and stay off until the temperature falls to 165F (180 - 15).
Page 37
Or (Circulator Overrun) - Determines how long the Heating Circulator will operate after the call for heat ends. In some cases, this can help reduce energy consumption by sending heat stored in the boiler out into the system. At the same time, caution should be exercised before setting this value to something other than zero.
XIII service and Maintenance WARNING All boiler cleaning must be completed with the burner service switch turned off. Boilers equipped with burner swing door have a potential hazard which can cause severe property damage, personal injury or loss of life if ignored. Before opening swing door, turn off service switch to boiler to prevent accidental firing of burner outside the combustion chamber.
Page 39
WARNING The boiler must be connected to an approved chimney in good condition. Serious property damage could result if the boiler is connected to a dirty or inadequate chimney. The interior of the chimney flue must be inspected and cleaned before the start of the heating season and should be inspected periodically throughout the heating season for any obstructions.

Important Product Safety Information Refractory Ceramic Fiber Product Warning: The Parts list designates parts that contain refractory ceramic fibers (RCF). RFC has been classified as a possible human carcinogen. When exposed to temperatures about 1805°F, such as during direct flame contact, RFC changes into crystalline silica, a known carcinogen.
XIV trouble shooting a. combustion 1) Nozzles - The selection of the nozzle supplied with the FWZ boiler is the result of extensive testing to obtain the best flame shape and efficient combustion. Other brands of the same spray angle and pattern may be used but may not perform at the expected level of CO2 and smoke.
Page 42
B. control system The following pages contain trouble shooting tables for use in diagnosing control problems. When using these tables the following should be kept in mind: 1) This information is only meant to be used by a professional heating technician as an aid in diagnosing boiler problems. 2) Where applicable, follow all precautions outlined in the Section XI (Start-up and Checkout).
