Installation & Operation Manual

5Start-up and Check-out

1.Make sure the system is free of leaks and that air is purged from the system.

4. Make sure that each zone valve or circulator operates when,

and only when, its thermostat calls for heat. Let each zone

operate long enough to purge any remaining air from the

CAUTION

Fix any leaks found before proceeding further. Leakage from the boiler piping can result in severe damage to the boiler.

2.Many soldering fluxes contain Zinc Chloride which can cause severe corrosion damage to stainless steel. After completing all domestic water connections, flush the indirect water heater thoroughly before leaving the installation. This is particularly important if the indirect water heater will be unused for an extended period of time after installation. Flush the indirect water heater by drawing at least three times its volume from the tank.

3.Make sure that all electrical connections are made correctly and that no exposed high voltage wiring is present.

heater is satisfied.

6Maintenance

The Lochinvar SSS series indirect water heater is an extremely simple device and as such requires very little maintenance. There are, however, several items which should be checked out on an annual or as needed basis to ensure a reliable supply of hot water:

*On an annual basis, remove the black cover over the hand hole and make sure the hand hole cover is leak-tight.

*Make sure that the rest of the boiler and domestic water piping is free of leaks.

*If there is an oil lubricated circulator in the system, make sure it is lubricated as called for by the circulator manufacturer.

*The indirect water heater depends upon the boiler for a source of heat and is therefore only as reliable as the boiler. Make sure that the boiler is maintained in accordance with the boiler manufacturer’s instructions.

*If a water treatment system is required to keep the water chemistry within the parameters shown in Table 2A (see Section 2 - Pre-Installation), make sure that this system is properly maintained.

SSS119, SSS031, SSS041, SSS051, SSS081 specifications

Lochinvar is a well-regarded name in the heating and water heating industry, renowned for its innovative and efficient solutions. Among their notable products are the SSS031, SSS041, SSS119, SSS081, and SSS051, a series of high-efficiency condensing boilers designed for residential and commercial use.

The Lochinvar SSS series, which includes models like SSS031 through SSS119, showcases advanced technologies aimed at optimizing energy efficiency and performance. One of the standout features of these models is their stainless steel construction, which enhances durability and resistance to corrosion. This material choice not only extends the lifespan of the units but also contributes to their energy efficiency by ensuring consistent heat transfer.

In addition to stainless steel, Lochinvar incorporates cutting-edge condensing technology in the SSS series. This design allows the boilers to extract additional heat from the exhaust gases, making use of latent heat that would otherwise be lost in traditional models. As a result, the SSS series achieves impressive Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings, often exceeding 90%. This high efficiency not only reduces energy consumption but also lowers operating costs, making these boilers a smart investment for both residential and commercial applications.

Another key characteristic of the Lochinvar SSS series is its user-friendly control system. Equipped with a touchscreen interface, operators can easily monitor and adjust settings for optimal performance and comfort. The integration of smart technologies and connectivity features allows for remote monitoring and control, enhancing the user experience and enabling proactive maintenance.

Furthermore, safety is a paramount concern in the design of the SSS models. They are equipped with multiple safety features including modulating burners and a low-water cutoff system, which ensures safe operation under various conditions.

The SSS031, SSS041, SSS119, SSS081, and SSS051 models cater to a range of heating demands, from smaller homes to larger commercial spaces. Each model varies in capacity, allowing users to select the appropriate unit based on their specific heating requirements. This flexibility, combined with the series' robust features and efficiencies, underscores Lochinvar’s commitment to providing reliable and sustainable heating solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern energy consumers.
