CONDENSATE TRAP

Installation of the Condensate Trap must conform with the instructions in this manual and local building codes. Condensate Neutralizer Kits are available. Contact your distributor or Service Agency. Do not remove, modify or alter the factory installed condensate trap. Install a commercially available neutralizing kit if required by the local codes.

The boiler is factory fitted with a 24V condensate trap connected to the controller. For safety reasons, if the condensate drain is blocked, the control system will turn off all the firing burners and bring the boiler to a safe shut down. If there is an air blockage in the line, vent out the air by removing the cap. Cap acts as an air vent for releasing any air block on down stream condensate line. Flexible silicon hose connect from the trap through the Condensate Neutralizer to the drain.

Due to the highly efficient operation of this unit, condensate is formed during operation and must be removed by the conden­ sate drain systems. Inspect the condensate drains and tubes at least once a month and insure they will allow the free flow of condensate at all times. The system must be inspected more frequently in cold weather if the drain system is located in an area, such as along the floor, where freezing temperatures­ are likely to occur. The condensate­ drain system must be protected against freezing. Contact a qualified service agent to inspect and correct the condition if freezing of the conden­sate lines is a problem.

Figure 40.  CONDENSATE NEUTRALIZER

The condensate drains from the boiler have pH levels between

4.3and 5.0. The pH measurement of a fluid is an indicator of the acidity or alkalinity. Neutral fluids have pH of 7.0. Acid fluids have pH below 7. Some local codes may require the use of a condensate neutralizer to raise the pH level of the condensate leaving the boiler. The condensate neutralizer be must installed between the boiler and the drain and must be installed lower than the outlet of the condensate trap as shown in Figure 38. The Condensate Neutralizer Kit model must be selected with respect to the boiler's output as mentioned in the Table 16.
