Patterson-Kelley MACH-05 manual Introduction, 2.0SAFETY

MACH® Series Gas-Fired Boiler

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The P-K MACH® Series Gas-Fired Boilers are fully modulating using a variable speed combustion blower, sophisticated microprocessor controls, modulating gas safety shut off / control valves and a unique aluminum alloy heat exchanger capable of operating in a fully condensing mode to provide maximum efficiency in a minimum amount of space. The high-quality materials and thoroughly tested design of the boiler should provide years of trouble-free service if the instructions in this manual are followed carefully.

This manual covers installation of P-K MACH Series Boilers. The model numbers may be followed by a prefix or suffix letter in some cases to indicate special features or different options.

While details may differ slightly, basic operation is the same for all models. Boilers may be built to operate with natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas (propane). Check the rating plate for correct fuel usage and gas pressures.

The boiler is only a part of the complete heating system. This boiler may be fully operational and yet because of poor circulation, control, or other operating characteristics, not deliver heat to the desired location. Additional equipment such as temperature sensors, pumps, flow switches, balancing valves, and check valves will be required for satisfactory operation of any system. Patterson-Kelley cannot be responsible for the design or operation of such systems and a qualified engineer or contractor must be consulted.
