INSTALLATION 4. INSTALLATION 4.1. Hydraulic connections The boiler is intended for connection with an open expansion vessel network. The boiler can be connected also with closed expansion vessel, if it is equipped with an overheating serpentine (optional). The boiler is intended for maximum working temperature 90 C and maximum pressure 3 bar for boilers up to 500 kW, and 4 bar for bigger boilers.
INSTALLATION Additional safety equipment can be mounted at the connection pipe T6. This can be a dual safety valve (pressure and temperature) or a cooling valve. Alternatively this pipe can be used for connection with the expansion vessel. 4.3. Overheating serpentine As an optional, the boiler can be equipped with an overheating protection serpentine.
INSTALLATION 4.5. Filling the system After completing all the hydraulic connections, the circuit may be filled with water. After filling the system, open the radiators air valves to get rid of the air in the installation. Verify that the installation pressure is according to the technical feature of the boiler.
