Condensate connection
Condensate connection
For every m
3
of natural gas that is
burned,between0.7and1.0litresof
water can accumulate, due to a very
high energy utilization. Condensate,
whichaccumulatesintheboiler,in
the waste gas pipe or in the chimney,
mustbedrainedtothepublicsewage
system.
Inthisregard,country-specic
regulationsmustbetakenintoaccount.
A neutralization of the condensate may
berequired.Itmustbepossiblefor
thecondensatetovisiblydrainintoa
funnel-siphon (2) at the installation site.
Axedconnectiontothepublicsewer
system is not permitted.
For condensate drainage, only
corrosion-resistantandcertied
materialsmaybeused.Thedrainage
mustbecarriedoutinafrost-free
space. The drainage pipe should have
aslope,soastoavoidabackwashof
the condensate.
Filling of the siphon
Beforetheboileristakeninto
operation, the equipment siphon (1)
mustbelledwithwater,soasto
prevent an emission of waste gas from
the condensate connection. Filling
iscarriedoutmosteasilybypouring
approximately 0.5 litres of water into
the waste gas pipe (3).
Once each year the waste gas
connectionshavetobecheckedfor
leakproofnessandthesiphonlled
with water.
AllPLUSoorstandinggasred
condensingboilerscontainasiphonic
condensate trap to collect and release
condensate.
The amount of condensate formed is
determinedbythetypeofboilersand
thewatertemperatureproducedbythe
boiler.
Condensate pipework.
Pressthesuppliedplasticribbon
tubeontothecondensatedrainatthe
bottomoftheboiler.Connectthetube
to the main condensate drain (minimum
diameter=40mm)bymeansofanopen
connection to avoid sewage gasses
comingintotheboiler.
Fit a pipe work header for the
condensatedrainbehindthehydraulic
system. For that purpose, the lower
bracketshaveholesallowingthe
installation of a PVC drain of ø40mm
max. Use this drain to connect the
individual condensate drains of each
boiler.
Thesiphonofauegassystemcan
alsobeconnected,ifrequired,by
means of an open connection.
HAZARD:
Danger of death due to
poisoning! If the siphon is
notlledwithwater,orifany
connections are open, then escaping
waste gas can pose a hazard of
death for people.
