Installation & Service Manual

1Determine boiler location

Location of unit

1.Locate the appliance so that if water connections should leak, water damage will not occur. When such locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the appliance. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow. Under no circumstances is the manufacturer to be held responsible for water damage in connection with this appliance, or any of its components.

2.The appliance must be installed indoors where it is protected from exposure to wind, rain and weather.

3.The appliance must be installed so that the ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.,) during appliance operation and service (circulator replacement, control replacement, etc.,).

4.Appliances located in a residential garage and in adjacent spaces that open to the garage and are not part of the living space of a dwelling unit must be installed so that all burners and burner ignition devices have a minimum clearance of not less than 18" (46cm) above the floor. The appliance must be located or protected so that it is not subject to physical damage by a moving vehicle.

5.DO NOT install this appliance in any location where gasoline or flammable vapors are likely to be present.

6.All units have been approved for alcove installation (an ALCOVE is a closet enclosure without a front door).

7.The appliance must not be installed on carpet.

8.All units have been approved for use on combustible surfaces.

9.Allow sufficient space for servicing pipe connections, pump and other auxiliary equipment, as well as the appliance.

This high efficiency not only reduces fuel consumption but also lowers utility bills, making it a cost-effective solution for heating needs.

The Lochinvar boilers are equipped with a powerful heat exchanger constructed from durable stainless steel. This design not only maximizes heat transfer but also enhances the longevity of the unit. By preventing corrosion and minimizing maintenance requirements, the stainless steel heat exchanger ensures that the boiler operates at peak performance for years.

Another significant aspect of the Lochinvar boilers is their modulating burner system. This technology allows the boiler to adjust its output based on demand, ensuring that it only uses the energy necessary to maintain the desired temperature. This feature not only improves efficiency but also contributes to a more comfortable indoor environment by minimizing temperature fluctuations.

The Lochinvar series also showcases a user-friendly control interface. The advanced LCD display allows for easy monitoring and adjustment of system settings. Connectivity options are often included, providing the ability to integrate with modern building management systems for enhanced control and diagnostics.

Safety features abound in the Lochinvar models, which include built-in safeguards such as temperature and pressure relief valves, flame detection systems, and modulation cut-off to protect against overheating and other hazardous conditions.

Moreover, these boilers are designed for easy installation and maintenance. Compact dimensions and lightweight design facilitate straightforward setup, even in tight spaces. Additionally, users can take advantage of the unit’s self-diagnostic capabilities to simplify troubleshooting and reduce downtime.

In conclusion, the Lochinvar 45,000 - 260,000 BTU/HR boilers represent a pinnacle of innovation in heating technology. With high efficiency, advanced control systems, durable components, and safety features, they stand out as reliable and effective solutions for a variety of heating applications, ensuring comfort and efficiency in any environment.
