MACH® Series Gas-Fired Boiler

Installation

 

 

3.6.6 Sealed Combustion Air/Venting System

The MACH Series Boilers are also certified for operation with a sealed combustion air and pressurized venting system. Such a system employs a sealed combustion air intake duct leading from outdoors and a sealed exhaust vent terminating outdoors. Air flow through the system is maintained by the fan inside the boiler assembly.

3.Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.

Vent Installation Details

Installation must conform to the vent manufacturer's instructions in all respects including joining, clearances, fastening, fire-stopping, and other matters.

Vent ductwork may be run horizontally or vertically if so certified.

3.6.7Removing an Existing Boiler

(from a common venting system)

When an existing boiler is removed from a common venting system, the common venting system is likely to be too large for proper venting of the appliances remaining connected to it.

At the time of removal of an existing boiler, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation, the following steps should be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation:

1.Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.

2.Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion or other deficiency which could cause an unsafe condition.

4.Place the appliance being inspected in operation. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust the thermostat so that the appliance will operate continuously.

5.Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe.

6.After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.

Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and CSA B149 Installation Code. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common vent system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables.

3.6.8 Intake/Exhaust Layout

Four basic configurations for the intake/exhaust may be used. Refer to Section 3.6.3 for required clearances for all terminations shown in the four following figures.

MACH-05 specifications

The Patterson-Kelley MACH-05 is an innovative high-efficiency boiler designed to meet the demanding needs of today’s commercial and industrial applications. Known for its remarkable performance and advanced technologies, the MACH-05 stands out in the market with its ability to provide reliable heating solutions while minimizing energy consumption and environmental impact.

One of the key features of the MACH-05 is its cascading capability. This allows multiple units to be linked together for enhanced capacity and redundancy. By operating in a modular system, users can achieve optimal energy efficiency by adjusting the number of active units based on real-time demand. This ensures that the system operates at peak efficiency, increasing overall reliability and reducing operational costs.

The MACH-05 is equipped with a fully modulating burner system, which ensures precise control of output and efficiency across a broad range of operating conditions. This advanced burner technology facilitates a significant reduction in fuel usage compared to traditional fixed-output systems. Combined with its high thermal efficiency rating, the MACH-05 is not only environmentally friendly but also economically advantageous for facilities looking to lower energy expenses.

In terms of construction, the MACH-05 features a compact, lightweight design that allows for easy installation and integration into existing systems. Its stainless steel heat exchanger is built to provide superior durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a long operational lifespan and reducing maintenance requirements. This design advantage translates into lower lifecycle costs for end-users.

The boiler also incorporates intelligent control systems that enhance operational efficiency. These controls can monitor and adjust parameters in real-time, optimizing performance and offering detailed diagnostics to anticipate maintenance needs. The user-friendly interface makes it easy for operators to manage the system and access vital information regarding performance metrics.

Additionally, the MACH-05 is designed with safety in mind, featuring multiple safety controls and alarms that function to protect both the equipment and personnel. This commitment to safety ensures that facilities can operate with peace of mind, knowing that they have a reliable and secure heating solution.

In summary, the Patterson-Kelley MACH-05 combines advanced engineering, efficiency, and safety features to provide a versatile and dependable heating solution. Its key advantages, including cascading capabilities, fully modulating burner technology, and intelligent controls make it an ideal choice for commercial and industrial applications, paving the way toward sustainable and cost-effective heating systems.
