MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Maintenance as outlined below can be performed by the owner unless otherwise noted.

The acidic nature of flue gasses condensing on the aluminum boiler sections will cause the formation of aluminum oxide. This oxide formation is normal, is generally uniform throughout the boiler sections, and represents a negligible mass of aluminum that is consumed by oxidation during the life of the boiler. If left unchecked, this buildup may eventually cause blockage of the flue gas passages in the boiler sections, reducing efficiency, and ultimately shutting down the boiler due to lack of combustion air flow. Regular service and maintenance by a qualified service agency must be performed to assure safe trouble free operation and maximum efficiency.

A. BEGINNING OF EACH HEATING SEASON

1.Annual service call by a qualified service agency, which includes:

a.Examine flue passages between boiler sections, burner, and condensate lines, and clean if necessary following the annual examination and cleaning instructions in para graph “F” on the next page.

b.Visually inspect venting and air intake system for proper function, deterioration or leakage. If the vent or air intake show any signs of deterioration or leakage, repair or replace them, immediately. Insure proper reassembly and resealing of the vent and air intake system. c.Check for and remove any obstruction to the flow of combustion air or venting of flue gases. Check the air baffle located inside 1 1/2"x2" flexible coupling on the mixer, clean it if necessary and make sure to put it back. Refer to repair parts diagram of mixer and pressure switch assembly for exact location.

d.Follow instructions for “PLACING BOILER IN OPERATION”.

e.Follow instructions for” CHECK OUT PROCEDURE AND ADJUSTMENTS”.

f.Visually inspect condensate drain line for proper operation and deterioration. Check for plugged condensate drain line.

g.Check the silicone rubber seals between boiler sections. Insure that there are no leaks. Use RTV silicone rubber adhesive sealant (available in caulking gun tubes) rated for at least 400° F to replace or repair seals in locations where original seals have deteriorated.

h.Check all gasketed joints for leakage, and tighten bolts or replace gaskets if necessary.

i.Remove jacket front and top panels and check for piping leaks around relief valve and other fittings. Repair, if found. DO NOT use stop leak compounds.

2.Check that boiler area is free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

3.Circulator pump and blower motor furnished with boiler are permanently lubricated from factory and require no further lubrication. Additional or non-factory supplied pumps and/or motors should be lubricated according to the pump and/or motor manufacturer’s instruction.

B.DAILY DURING HEATING SEASON

1.Check for and remove any obstruction to the flow of combustion air or venting of flue gases.

2.Check that boiler area is free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

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.
