87%-Efficiency Boilers – Special Instructions

NOTE: The constructions of the 84%- (standard) and 87%-efficiency (optional) boilers are very similar, and they are installed to the same requirements, except as noted in this section.

Water Piping

An 87%-efficiency boiler requires a minimum inlet water temperature of 120ºF (49ºC) to prevent exces- sive condensation in the combustion chamber. An 87%-efficiency boiler operated with an inlet tempera- ture of less than 120ºF (49ºC) must have a manual bypass or an approved low-temperature operation system to prevent problems with condensation. A man- ual bypass, shown in Fig. 15, must be piped into the system at the time of installation. This piping is like a primary/secondary boiler installation with a bypass in the secondary boiler piping. Raypak strongly recomm-

ends that a thermometer be placed into the boiler inlet piping next to the in/out header to facilitate tempera- ture adjustment. Inlet water temperatures below 120ºF (49ºC) can excessively cool the products of combus- tion, resulting in condensation on the heat exchanger.

Venting

CAUTION: Proper installation of flue venting is criti- cal for the safe and efficient operation of the boiler.
