1Prevent combustion air contamination

￿WARNING

￿WARNING

If the boiler combustion air inlet is located in any area likely to cause contamination, or if products which would contaminate the air cannot be removed, you must have the combustion air and vent re-piped and terminated to another location. Contaminated combustion air will damage the boiler, resulting in possible severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.

If the boiler combustion air inlet is located in a laundry room or pool facility, for example, these areas will always contain hazardous contaminants.

Table 1 Corrosive Contaminants and Sources

Products to avoid:

Spray cans containing chloro/fluorocarbons

Permanent wave solutions

Chlorinated waxes/cleaners

Chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals

Calcium chloride used for thawing

Sodium chloride used for water softening

Refrigerant leaks

Paint or varnish removers

Pool and laundry products and common household and hobby products often contain fluorine or chlorine compounds. When these chemicals pass through the boiler, they can form strong acids. The acid can eat through the boiler wall, causing serious damage and presenting a possible threat of flue gas spillage or boiler water leakage into the building.

Please read the information listed in Table 1. If contaminating chemicals will be present near the location of the boiler combustion air inlet, have your installer pipe the boiler combustion air and vent to another location, per the Knight Boiler Installation and Operation Manual.

Hydrochloric acid/muriatic acid

Cements and glues

Antistatic fabric softeners used in clothes dryers

Chlorine-type bleaches, detergents, and cleaning solvents found in household laundry rooms

Adhesives used to fasten building products and other similar products

Areas likely to have contaminants

Dry cleaning/laundry areas and establishments

Swimming pools

￿WARNING

To prevent the potential of severe personal injury or death, check for areas and products listed in Table 1 before installing the boiler or air inlet piping.

If contaminants are found, you MUST:

•Remove contaminants permanently. —OR—

•Relocate air inlet and vent terminations to other areas.

Metal fabrication plants

Beauty shops

Refrigeration repair shops

Photo processing plants

Auto body shops

Plastic manufacturing plants

Furniture refinishing areas and establishments

New building construction

Remodeling areas

Garages with workshops

With an annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating that can exceed 95%, users can expect significant savings on energy costs while reducing their carbon footprint.

Another important characteristic of the Lochinvar 80 - 285 is its stainless steel heat exchanger. The use of stainless steel not only enhances durability but also ensures longer life expectancy and resistance to corrosion. This makes it an excellent choice for harsh environments or areas with hard water. Furthermore, the design of the heat exchanger promotes optimal thermal performance and efficient heat transfer, ensuring that the system operates at peak efficiency.

The Lochinvar 80 - 285 series also incorporates intelligent controls, allowing for enhanced operation and management of heating systems. The intuitive user interface provides easy access to critical system information, allowing users to monitor performance and make adjustments as needed. The built-in diagnostic tools help in troubleshooting and maintaining optimal performance, minimizing downtime and service costs.

Moreover, the boiler is designed with a flexible venting system. It can be vented vertically or horizontally, offering installation versatility for various building configurations. This adaptability makes it a favorite among contractors and engineers, simplifying the installation process and reducing labor costs.

The Lochinvar 80 - 285 series prioritizes safety as well. It comes equipped with multiple safety features, including flame monitoring and automatic shut-off valves, ensuring that the system operates safely under all conditions. Additionally, its low emissions design contributes to a cleaner environment by complying with stringent emission standards.

In summary, the Lochinvar 80 - 285 series stands out for its high efficiency, durability, and user-friendly technology. With its advanced condensing technology, stainless steel heat exchanger, intelligent controls, and versatile installation options, it is a dependable choice for anyone seeking a reliable heating solution that prioritizes performance and sustainability.
