K. A.S.M.E. RATED PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

Each boiler must have a properly sized and installed American Society of Mechanical Engi- neers rated pressure relief valve. Water expands as it is heated by the burner/boiler sections. If there is no place for the water to expand its volume, (i.e. a properly sized and properly functioning expansion tank) pressure on the inside of the boiler and heating system will increase. The furnished relief valve will automatically open at 30 psig pressure to relieve the strain on the boiler and heating system from the increasing pressure. The pressure relief valve discharge must be piped with piping same size as the valve discharge opening to an open drain, tub or sink, or other suitable drainage point not subject to freezing, in accordance with A.S.M.E. specifications. Failure to provide the pressure relief valve with piping as herein described may cause water damage and/or serious bodily injury. The boiler manufacturer is not responsible for any water damage or personal injury.

L. FLAME ROLLOUT SAFETY SHUTOFF

As required, this boiler is equipped with a manual reset flame rollout safety shutoff means, which shuts off main burner gas in the event that the flow of combustion products through the flueways is reduced. In the event of blocked flueways, enough air will not be available to support combustion, and the S9301 Integrated Boiler Control (IBC) will lockout due to loss of adequate air flow (after 3 trials for ignition). The “PURGE” diagnostic indicator lamp (lamp “B” on the IBC, see Fig.16) will blink indicating the failure mode as a lack of adequate air flow. The IBC is manually reset from lockout by either removing and reestablishing the thermostat’s call for heat, or by turning the service switch off, then back on. If the boiler cannot be restored to normal operating condition by resetting the control, contact a qualified service agency to check heat exchanger flueways for blockage.

M. (OPTIONAL) EXTERNAL CONDENSATE PUMP

For installations where there is no floor drain or other appropriate drainage receptacle avail- able to receive condensate from the boiler, an external float activated condensate pump with integral sump is required. This unit can be installed to pump the condensate to a remote tie in point to a sanitary sewer system. For this application, the boiler must be installed so that proper pitch of piping to the external condensate reservoir (sump) can be accomplished. Use wood frame or blocks to raise boiler as required for proper installation.

A. WATER TREATMENT AND FREEZE PROTECTION

1.When filling the boiler and heating system, water treatment is generally not required or desired. For localities where the water is unusually hard (above 7 grains hardness) or for low pH water conditions (below 7.0), consult a local water treatment specialist.

a.This boiler is designed for use in a closed hydronic heating system ONLY!

b.Excessive feeding of fresh make-up water to the boiler may lead to premature failure of the boiler sections.

2.Use clean fresh tap water for initial fill and make-up of boiler.

a.A sand filter must be used if fill and make-up water from a well is to be used.

b.Consideration should be given to cleaning the heating system, particularly in retrofit situations, where a new boiler is being installed in an older piping system.

GAS-FIRED BOILERS specifications

Quantum gas-fired boilers represent a significant advancement in the realm of residential and commercial heating solutions. These innovative systems efficiently utilize natural gas to deliver consistent heating, catering to a wide range of climates and applications. With rising energy costs and increasing environmental concerns, the adoption of gas-fired boilers has gained momentum, making them a popular choice for heating needs.

One of the main features of Quantum gas-fired boilers is their impressive energy efficiency. Modern gas boilers are designed to achieve high efficiencies, often ranging from 90% to 98%. This means that the majority of the energy consumed is converted into useful heat, significantly reducing fuel costs and environmental impact. Their ability to operate at such high efficiencies is largely due to advanced condensing technology, which captures and reuses the heat from exhaust gases, thus maximizing the energy extracted from the fuel.

Moreover, Quantum gas-fired boilers are equipped with advanced control systems that allow for precise temperature regulation. These systems can monitor changes in demand and adjust the operation of the boiler accordingly, ensuring that energy consumption is kept to a minimum without sacrificing comfort. This not only promotes energy savings but also extends the lifespan of the appliance.

In addition to efficiency and control, modular design is another important characteristic of Quantum gas-fired boilers. Many models are available in compact sizes, making them suitable for diverse installation environments, including tight spaces and urban areas.
