Lochinvar 51 Knight Wall Mount Boiler How it works, Stainless steel heat exchanger

Installation & Operation Manual

The Knight Wall Mount Boiler - How it works...

1.Stainless steel heat exchanger

Allows system water to flow through specially designed coils for maximum heat transfer, while providing protection against flue gas corrosion. The coils are encased in a jacket that contains the combustion process.

2.Combustion chamber access cover

Allows access to the combustion side of the heat exchanger coils.

3.Blower

The blower pulls in air and gas through the venturi (item 5). Air and gas mix inside the blower and are pushed into the burner, where they burn inside the combustion chamber.

4.Gas valve

The gas valve senses the negative pressure created by the blower, allowing gas to flow only if the gas valve is powered and combustion air is flowing.

5.Venturi

The venturi controls air and gas flow into the burner.

6.Flue gas sensor (limit rated)

This sensor monitors the flue gas exit temperature. The control module will modulate and shut down the boiler if flue gas temperature gets too hot. This protects the flue pipe from overheating.

7.Boiler outlet temperature sensor (housed with high limit sensor)

This sensor monitors boiler outlet water temperature (system supply). If selected as the controlling sensor, the control module adjusts boiler firing rate so the outlet temperature is correct.

8.Boiler inlet temperature sensor

This sensor monitors return water temperature (system return). If selected as the controlling sensor, the control module adjusts the boiler firing rate so the inlet temperature is correct.

9.Temperature and pressure gauge (field installed, not shown)

Monitors the outlet temperature of the boiler as well as the system water pressure.

10.Electronic LCD display

The electronic display consists of 4 buttons, a navigation dial and a multiple line liquid crystal display.

11.Flue pipe adapter

Allows for the connection of the PVC vent pipe system to the boiler.

12.Burner (not shown)

Made with metal fiber and stainless steel construction, the burner uses pre-mixed air and gas and provides a wide range of firing rates.

13.Water outlet (system supply)

The water outlet is the water connection for water leaving the boiler and entering the system. Boiler connection is 1".

16.SMART SYSTEM Control Module

The SMART SYSTEM Control responds to internal and external signals and controls the blower, gas valve, and pumps to meet the heating demand.

17.Air intake adapter

Allows for the connection of the PVC air intake pipe to the boiler.

18.High voltage junction box

The junction box contains the connection points for the line voltage power and all pumps.

19.Manual air vent

Designed to remove trapped air from the heat exchanger coils.

20.Low voltage connection board

The connection board is used to connect external low voltage devices.

21.Low voltage wiring connections (knockouts)

Conduit connection points for the low voltage connection board.

22.Condensate drain connection

Connects the condensate drain line to a 1/2" pipe.

23.Access door

Provides access to all internal components.

24.Ignition electrode

Provides direct spark for igniting the burner.

25.Flame inspection window

The quartz glass window provides a view of the burner surface and flame.

26.Gas shutoff switch

An electrical switch designed to cut power to the gas valve to prevent releasing any gas.

27.High limit sensor (housed with outlet sensor)

Device that monitors the outlet water temperature. If the temperature exceeds its setting, it will break the control circuit, shutting the boiler down.

28.Relief valve

Protects the heat exchanger from an over pressure condition. The relief valve provided with the unit is set at 30 psi.

29.Flame sensor

Used by the control module to detect the presence of burner flame.

30.Line voltage wiring connections (knockouts)

Conduit connection points for the high voltage junction box.

31.Air pressure switch

The air pressure switch detects blocked inlet conditions.

32.Transformer

The transformer provides 24V power to the integrated control.

14.Water inlet (system return)

The water inlet is the water connection for water entering the boiler from the system. Boiler connection is 1".

15.Gas connection pipe

Threaded pipe connection of 1/2". This pipe should be connected to the incoming gas supply for the purpose of delivering gas to the boiler.
