E. FILLING CONDENSATE TRAP WITH WATER ON THE INITIAL START UP THE CONDEN SATE TRAP MUST BE MANUALLY FILLED WITH WATER

The following are the steps required to initially fill the condensate trap for start up, these steps are only required at the initial start up or if maintenance requires draining of the condensate trap:

1.Disconnect the vent condensate drain line from the bottom of the vent tee on the boiler.

2.Pour about 1 cup of cold tap water into the vent drain line with a proper funnel.

3.Excess water should go through the overflow and out through the condensate drain line. Verify proper operation of the drain line (or external condensate pump if used).

4.Reinstall the vent drain line.

F. CHILLED WATER PIPING

The boiler, when used in connection with a refrigeration system, must be installed so the chiller medium is piped in parallel with the boiler with appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium from entering the boiler.

The boiler piping system of a hot water boiler connected to heating coils is located in air handling units where they may be exposed to refrigerated air circulation must be equipped with flow control valves or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation of the boiler water during cooling cycle.

COMBUSTION AIR AND VENT PIPE

A. CONNECTIONS AND TERMINATION

For boilers connected to gas vents or chimneys, vent installations shall be in accordance with part 7, Venting of Equipment, of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 2223.1-latest revision, CAN/CGA-B 149.1 and B 149.2, and applicable provisions of the local building codes.

Provisions for combustion and ventilation air must be in accordance with section 5.3, Air For Combustion and Ventilation, of the National Fuel Gas Code,ANSI 2223.1-latest revision, CAN/CGA-B 149.1 and B 149.2, or applicable provisions of the local building code.

These boilers require a dedicated direct vent system. All air for combustion is taken directly from outdoors through the combustion air intake pipe. All flue products are discharged to the outdoors through the vent pipe.

1.See Fig.9 & 10 for combustion air and vent pipe roof and sidewall termination. (Roof termi nation is preferred) Combustion air and vent pipes must terminate together in same atmo spheric pressure zone as shown. Construction through which vent and air intake pipes may be installed is a maximum 24 inches, minimum 1/4" thickness.

2.Combustion air and vent pipe fittings must conform to American National Standards Insti tute (ANSI) standards and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards D1784 (schedule-40 CPVC), D1785 (schedule-40 PVC), D2665 (PVC-DWV), D2241 (SDR-21 and SDR-26 PVC), D2661 (ABS-DWV), or F628 (schedule-40 ABS). Pipe cement and primer must conform to ASTM standards D2564 (PVC) or D2235 (ABS).

GAS-FIRED BOILERS specifications

Quantum gas-fired boilers represent a significant advancement in the realm of residential and commercial heating solutions. These innovative systems efficiently utilize natural gas to deliver consistent heating, catering to a wide range of climates and applications. With rising energy costs and increasing environmental concerns, the adoption of gas-fired boilers has gained momentum, making them a popular choice for heating needs.

One of the main features of Quantum gas-fired boilers is their impressive energy efficiency. Modern gas boilers are designed to achieve high efficiencies, often ranging from 90% to 98%. This means that the majority of the energy consumed is converted into useful heat, significantly reducing fuel costs and environmental impact. Their ability to operate at such high efficiencies is largely due to advanced condensing technology, which captures and reuses the heat from exhaust gases, thus maximizing the energy extracted from the fuel.

Moreover, Quantum gas-fired boilers are equipped with advanced control systems that allow for precise temperature regulation. These systems can monitor changes in demand and adjust the operation of the boiler accordingly, ensuring that energy consumption is kept to a minimum without sacrificing comfort. This not only promotes energy savings but also extends the lifespan of the appliance.

In addition to efficiency and control, modular design is another important characteristic of Quantum gas-fired boilers. Many models are available in compact sizes, making them suitable for diverse installation environments, including tight spaces and urban areas. Their versatility allows for installation in various configurations, including wall-mounted and floor-standing units, which can be tailored to fit the specific requirements of a heating system.

Moreover, modern Quantum gas-fired boilers come with features that enhance user experience and maintenance. Many incorporate built-in diagnostic tools that indicate potential issues before they become significant problems, facilitating timely interventions and reducing downtime. Some models even offer connectivity features, enabling remote monitoring and control through smartphone applications.

In summary, Quantum gas-fired boilers deliver exceptional energy efficiency and reliability, employing advanced technologies such as condensing methods and smart controls. Their modular design and user-friendly features make them an appealing choice for anyone seeking a high-performing heating solution. As the demand for sustainable and cost-effective heating solutions continues to rise, Quantum gas-fired boilers are poised to play a crucial role in meeting the world's heating needs.
