Modu-Fire®Gas-Fired Boiler

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The P-K MODU-FIRE®Gas Fired Boiler is a revo- lutionary advance; Patterson-Kelley now combines full-modulation burner control with our time-tested modular hot water boiler design. The result is “modular full-modulation”- Modu-Fire! This new hybrid boiler combines the best of our earlier de- signs with a new generation of burner and control technology. You will achieve even higher part-load efficiencies – but without the complexity you might expect in this type of high performance boiler. High performance made simple and dependable for years of trouble-free operation.

This manual covers installation of the P-K MODU- FIRE® Boiler Series 1000, 1500, and 2000. The model numbers may be followed by a prefix or suf- fix letter in some cases to indicate special features or different options. While details may differ slightly, basic operation is the same for all models. Boilers are built to operate with natural gas or pro- pane. Check the rating plate for the correct gas type and flow rate.

The boiler is only a part of the complete heating system. This boiler may be fully operational and yet because of poor circulation, controls, or other oper- ating characteristics, not deliver heat to the desired location. Additional equipment such as temperature sensors, pumps, flow switches, balancing valves and check valves will be required for satisfactory opera- tion of any system. Patterson-Kelley cannot be re- sponsible for the design or operation of such sys- tems and a qualified engineer or contractor must be consulted.
