3.0INSTALLATION

3.1RECEIVING AND STORAGE

3.1.1 Initial Inspection

Upon receiving the boiler, inspect it for signs of shipping damage. Since some damage may be hidden, we recommend unpacking the boiler and removing the top cover and inspecting the boiler.

Verify that the total number of pieces shown on the packing slip agrees with those actually received.

Important: note any damage, suspected potential damage, or shortage of materials on the freight bill and immediately notify the carrier. File all claims for shortage or damage with the carrier. Claims for hidden damages must be filed with your carrier within 7 days. The boiler carton is equipped with a “Tip (N) Tell”. If "Tip (N) Tell” arrow point is blue, that indicates that the package has been on its side or tipped over in transit.

3.1.2 Storage Prior to Installation

If the boiler is not installed immediately, it must be stored in a location adequately protected from the weather, preferably indoors. If this is not possible, then it should remain in the shipping container and be covered by a tarpaulin or other waterproof covering.

Note: controls and other equipment that are damaged or fail due to weather exposure are not covered by warranty.

Code, Section IV for 50 psig maximum operating pressure and/or 200º F maximum temperature.

Other codes or approvals which apply will be labeled on the boiler.

Installation of the boiler must conform to all the requirements of all national, state and local codes established by the authorities having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, in the U.S. to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, latest edition. In Canada, the equipment shall be installed in accordance with the current Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment, CAN/CGA-B.149, and applicable Provincial Regulations for the class, which should be carefully followed in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installations are made.

Where required by local codes, the installation must conform to American Society of Mechanical Engineers Safety Code for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers (ASME CSD-1).

In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (a) this unit must be installed by a licensed pipe fitter / plumber,

(b)field installed gas cocks must be “T” handle type, and (c) piping of condensate shall conform with the State Plumbing Code.

3.3SETUP

3.3.1 Foundation

Provide a firm, level foundation, preferably of concrete.

3.2COMPLIANCE WITH CODES

The P-K MACH Series Boiler with standard components and with many options complies with American National Standard/CSA Standard ANSI Z21.13/CSA 4.9, latest edition, Gas-Fired Low Pressure Steam and Hot Water Boilers.

The heat exchanger is constructed and stamped in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel

Note: The boiler may be installed on a combustible floor; however, the boiler must never be installed on carpeting.

3.3.2 Placement

The boiler must be level to function properly. To assist in leveling the boiler, the four (4) adjustable leg bolts (1/2"- 13 NC) must be installed. The adjustable legs are also necessary to provide adequate floor

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.
