DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESTIGE
SOLO / AQUASPEED / EXCELLENCE
Description of the specifications
The Prestige is a wall-mounted condensing boiler meeting the requi-
rements of the HR-Top standards in force in Belgium. The boiler is
certified compliant with EC standards as a connected appliance
(C13
(x), C33(x), C43(x), C53, C63(x), C83(x)), but it can also be
connected as an open appliance in category B23.
Lining
The boiler is protected by a steel lining that first of all undergoes a
degreasing and phosphation process before being lacquered and
burnt at 220°C. The inside of this lining is coated with a layer of ther-
mal and acoustic insulation, reducing losses to a minimum.
Heat exchanger
The core of the Prestige features a new stainless steel heat
exchanger.This piece of technology represents the fruit of exhausti-
ve research and intensive laboratory testing. It reflects ACV’s eighty
years of experience in using stainless steel for heating and hot water
functions. The particular geometry of the exchanger pipes is calcu-
lated to obtain a very large Reynolds number throughout its cycles.
The Prestige achieves an exceptional output that remains stable
throughout the boiler’s life, given that it causes no oxidation on the
exchanger, which is manufactured entirely from quality steel.
Burner
ACV uses its BG 2000-M burner for the Prestige: this is an air/gas
premix burner providing safe and silent operation while limiting
emissions (NOx and CO) to an incredibly low level. Although the
ACV BG 2000-M boiler is very modern, it uses proven technology
and is manufactured from standard spare parts that are normally
available in the shops.
Temperature regulation
The basic version of the Prestige is fitted with a microprocessor-
controlled regulator (MCBA) which takes over both the safety func-
tions (ignition, monitoring the flame, limiting the temperature, etc.)
and control of the boiler temperature. This MCBA also includes a
weather-dependent regulator. All you need do is connect the out-
door temperature sensor available as an option to the device.
However, this regulator can also operate with a standard room
thermostat (enabled/disabled). In addition, with the combination of a
weather-dependent regulator and a room thermostat, you can regu-
late the temperatures based on the weather with compensation for
the indoor temperature.
There are 4 parameters accessible to users, enabling them to adjust
the settings they need. By entering a special maintenance code,
qualified installers can access several other parameters to adapt the
boiler to special requirements. In principle, these parameters are
factory set for all normal applications.
Production of hot water
• Solo:
The Prestige Solo is custom-designed to operate for heating
alone or in combination with the whole range of ACV water tanks.
The SmartLine range is the number one choice for domestic
applications. To simplify this combination, ACV has designed a
special mini-tank connection kit that is simple to incorporate into
the lining of the appliance for rapid and reliable assembly.
• AquaSpeed:
The Prestige AquaSpeed has a constant supply of hot water from
its 6-litre tank that is directly and immediately available. It combi-
nes all the advantages of hot-water storage and immediate pro-
duction: instant hot water without the need to wait for the reser-
ves. The Prestige 32 AquaSpeed provides 13.3 litres of hot water
per minute at 40°C, instantly and without waste (∆T 30°C). The
AquaSpeed mini tank is made of stainless steel and the hot water
is heated in a copper spiral in the tank.
• Excellence:
The Prestige Excellence combines all the advantages of ACV’s
Tank-in-Tank systems with the comfort and space saving of a
wall-mounted boiler: In a 63-cm shell, it includes a 62-litre stagi-
ness steel Tank-in-Tank. The Prestige 32 Excellence supplies 258
litres of water at a temperature of 40°C in 10 minutes: In addition
to their exceptional hot water supply capability, the Prestige
Excellence tank-in-tanks feature:
- A solution for scale deposits: in view of the fact that the hot
water tank can dilate and contract during the heating cycle, the
ring-shaped shell prevents the formation of scale.
- A guarantee against the risk of Legionnaire’s Disease and
bacteria: the hot water tank is completed immersed in the prima-
ry circuit and the hot water is constantly maintained at a maximum
temperature of 60°C.
- Exceptional resistance against corrosion and aggression:
provided by the stainless steel.
FROST PROTECTION
The boiler is equipped with an integrated frost protection: as soon as
the NTC 1 flow temperature drops below 7°C, the system activates
the central heating pump. As soon as the NTC1 start temperature
drops below 3°C, the system automatically ignites the burner until
the temperature rises above 10°C. The pump continues to run for
about 10 minutes.
If an outdoor temperature sensor is connected to the system, the
pump is activated as soon as the outside temperature drops below
the specified threshold.
To provide efficient protection for the whole system, all of the valves
on the radiators and the convectors should be completely open.
