HOT WATER SUPPLY APPLICATIONS

Where excessive heat exchanger condensation exists due to

continued low water inlet temperatures, a bypass balance loop

Cer-Temp 80 Recovery Systems

must be installed (see page 15).

 

WATER LINE CONNECTIONS

HARD WATER CONDITIONS

This section provides detailed installation diagrams for typical methods of application for the unit using a Cer-Temp 80 Recovery System (for one temperature water).

This equipment must be protected against loss of water or loss of water flow by the installation of a safety flow switch in the outlet piping from the boiler. Piping and wiring diagrams show the application of this accessory for this purpose.

These diagrams will serve to provide the installer with a reference for the materials and methods of piping necessary for installation. It is essential that all water and gas piping, vent connections, electrical wiring, and check and flow regulating valves be installed as shown on the diagrams.

Where hard water conditions exist, water softening or the threshold type of water treatment is recommended. This will protect the dishwashers, coffee urns, water heaters, water piping and other equipment. When water softening or water treatment is not practical, a comparatively easy method of periodic lime removal from the unit must be employed.

WARNING

Lime accumulation can reduce the life of the equipment, reduce efficiency and waste fuel. Boiler failure due to lime or scale build- up voids the warranty.

These units are so constructed that lime removal is simple and complete, see PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE.
