The CSD-1 ASME Code, Section CW-400 requires that hot
water heating and supply boilers have a) a UL 353 temperature
control device, b) at least one (1) temperature-actuated control
to shut o the fuel supply when system water reaches a preset
operating temperature, c) a high temperature limit control that
prevents the water temperature from exceeding the maximum
allowable temperature by causing a safety shutdown and
lockout, and d) its own sensing element and operating switch.
The temperature control system integrated into the 926
control provided with this heating appliance complies with
the requirements of CSD-1 Section CW-400 as a temperature
operation control. The control monitors the temperature
dierence between the inlet and the outlet sensor, which is
aected by boiler water ow. If this temperature dierence
exceeds 55°F (typically because of low water ow or very low
heat load), the control will reduce the maximum fan speed.
If the temperature dierence exceeds 60°F, the control will
eectively sense there is little or no water ow or heat load and
shut the boiler down. The controller will restart automatically
once the temperature dierence has dropped below 55°F and
the minimum o time (anti-cycle time) has expired. In addition,
if the control senses that the outlet water temperature has
reached 210°F, the boiler is put into a hard lockout and requires
manual reset to restart.
IMPORTANT
In accordance with Section 325 (f) (3) of the Energy Policy
and Conservation Act, HTP, Inc. has provided this boiler with
multiple features designed to save energy by reducing the
boiler water temperature as heating load decreases.
These features include:
A modulating combustion system that adjusts ring
rate based on heat demand.
Adjustment of boiler set point based on inferred heat
load as determined by an outdoor sensor. The outdoor
sensor is supplied by HTP, Inc. with this boiler.
This boiler does not include a standing pilot.
This boiler is designed and shipped to assure the
highest eciency operation possible. Such high
eciency is achieved by limiting heating circuit water
temperature to 140°F when there is no anticipated
heat load, based upon the outdoor sensor and the
Outdoor Reset Curve (sensor response curve) in the
boiler software.
This feature may be over-ridden as described below in
specic installations:
The boiler control is equipped with an outdoor sensor
override for use with building management systems
or in cascaded systems (for systems with total input of
300,000 BTU/hr or greater).
See statement below for an important notice on the use of
the override.
