CHAPTER 4

Mounting and installing instructions

This chapter is addressed both to the authorized persons who are involved in installing the

 boiler and to the beneficiary who is interested that the performed works correspond to the

safety operating norms of all installations contributing to a proper functioning of the boiler.Installing of the boiler is not equivalent with it’s putting into operation. This must be done by

ISCIR authorized personnel according to the normatives in force and agreed by Kober S.R.L.

Turturesti, Vaduri Branch.

4.1. Location of the thermal unit

According to the normatives in force, respectively: Normatives for the design and

execution of natural gases feeding systems, Normatives for operating natural gases

feeding systems 16/98, chapter 8 and I 31 Normative for design and execution of feeding

systems using petroleum liquefied gases (PLG)

The unit can be installed in any room with a maximum humidity of 60% and a temperature

range of 20-300C.

4.2. Mounting on the wall

Is performed according to the following instructions:

The packaging is removed.

There are to be made two holes in the wall at a distance of 380 mm one from the other and at

the desirable height.

The two dowel-pins are fixed in the wall, followed by mounting the two hooks by screwing.

The set of dowel-pins and hooks are delivered together with the unit.

The unit is fixed into the two hooks, taking care to position them in the two cutting-ups on the

rear.

The rigidity of the fixing has to be checked.

4.3. Connection to the combustion gases exhausting system

The diameter of the combustion gases exhausting line is 125 mm.

The connection for combustion gases exhaustion is linked, by sheet-iron tubing, on the

shortest way to the stack (exhaustion column). Sharp bending must be avoided.

If it is necessary the exhaustion tubing of the combustion gases is thermally insulated.

- On the combustion gases exhausting line, without connection to the chimney stack (forced 

draft).

The exhaustion of the combustion gases is made through a tube with a diameter of 60 mm,coaxial with the air intake tube having a diameter of 100 mm. The exhaustion tube is placed 

inside the air intake tube.

The intake-exhaustion kit is delivered together with the unit. It consists of an elbow, the

intake-exhaustion tube and the afferent seals.

The connection is made as following:

-  All the gaskets are mounted in their own positions

-  The elbow is fixed at the upper side of the carcass with 4 screws, taking care to

 position the afferent gasket between the cover and the elbow. It is possible to locate

the elbow in steps of 45 degrees in a horizontal layout.

-  The tube is then fixed by connecting to the elbow.

It is compulsory to install the kit with a slope of 0,5-2% for evacuating outside thecondensate.

7/28/2019 Manual OPTIMUS MT c15 Eng

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/manual-optimus-mt-c15-eng 8/34

Electric power supply

The boiler must be connected to a 220V – 50Hz monophasic network with safety null,

through 5 A fusible fuses. All external control and commutation components must correspond 

to this voltage.

The external connections must comply with the normatives in force. The connection to the

electrical network of the building must allow the total electrical insulation of the boiler insituations in which it is necessary to intervene on it.

4.4. Connection to the fuel feeding system

The gas-feeding connection (connection C, see the layout of the connections in chapter 10)

will be executed according to the normative in force (I6-98).

- Minimum/maximum pressure when natural gas is used:

The pressure of the natural gas at the inlet in the gas valve must be maintained 

 between 20-25 mbar. Exceeding this pressure range can lead to decreasing of the combustion

efficiency.

- Minimum/maximum pressure when LPG is used:

The pressure of the gas, when LPG is used, at the inlet of the gas valve must bemaintained in the range of 35-45 mbar.

The gas connection element has ¾”.

The gas tap is sealed.

The tightness is checked with a water-soap emulsion.

The gas line is vented.

The maximum allowable pressure, to which the gas valve resists, is 60 mbar. If the

preset value of the pressure is not observed noise could occur, owing to turbulent

combustion, or problems could appear at the internal regulator of the gas valve, which

could lead to the worsening of the combustion efficiency.

The gas supplying pipes must not have a smaller diameter than the connection

corresponding to the boiler.

4.5. Connection to the heating and domestic water system

Recommendations:

It is recommended that the heating system should be designed by specialized and authorized 

 personnel, according to the normatives in force: I13 – Normative for the design and execution

of heating installations, personnel who also should execute these works, so that the

installation can be operated in optimum conditions.

During the design of the central heating system special attention must be given to the

dimensioning of the pipes and the pressure losses on them and on the heating elements.

Filling of the installation must be done preferably with treated water (softened water).Connections can be done by soldering or with compression fittings in the case of copper 

 pipes. It must be ensured the necessary slope of the pipes for venting and easy evacuation to

the points foreseen for this purpose in the installation.

The evacuation points must be placed in accessible places, which allow the drainage of water 

from the heating circuit. It is recommended a minimum diameter of 1/2”.

It is recommended to introduce manual venting devices on each of the heating elements

(central heating radiators, registers, etc).

After connection of the pipes the two circuits will be filled gradually with water.

- On the primary circuit (heating)

The heating circuit must be cleaned very well, especially when the boiler operates on a

heating circuit used previously.

Page 9: Manual OPTIMUS MT c15 Eng

7/28/2019 Manual OPTIMUS MT c15 Eng

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/manual-optimus-mt-c15-eng 9/34

The boiler is connected to the heating installation (through connections A and E, see “Layout

of the connections” in chapter 10).

The admitted working over-pressure is 3 bar.

The testing over-pressure is 4,5 bar.

On the heating circuit is compulsory to install on the outlet of the installation an impurities

retaining filter - On the secondary circuit (domestic hot water)

The boiler is connected to the domestic hot water installation (through connections B and D,

see the layout of the connections in chapter 10).

The admitted working over-pressure is 8 bar.

It is compulsory to install softening filters on the cold water inlet connection

Operating with an empty or partially filled boiler can lead to explosions.

The cold water feeding pipe of the domestic hot water preparing circuit will remain

 permanently open (the closing of the network will be done only through the taps near the

consumption points) for permitting the taking over of the dilatations on this circuit.

VentingBecause water contains a certain amount of dissolved gases, venting will be made at the first

filling and during the subsequent completion with water of the heating system.

During the heating of the system the gases will be collected in the highest points of the of the

system and must be eliminated. Installing of some venting devices (manual or automated) in

these points of the system will allow the elimination of the gases, both at the first filling and 

during operation.

CHAPTER 5

Operating instructions

5.1. General description

The mural thermal unit represents a gaseous fuel consuming apparatus, which has the role to

transform the energy of the gaseous fuel into thermal energy by burning. This apparatus isfunctioning without the need of permanent surveillance because of the protection and control

systems the unit is endowed with.

The unit consists of several components that are functionally described below.

The gas enters the unit through the gas feeding circuit consisting of a connection and a

 pressure reducing device which will adjust the pressure to 20 mbar for G20 – subgroups A(L)

and A(H). For LPG (subgroups of propane and propane-butane mixtures) the reducing device

will be regulated to 37 mbar. So the gas is reaching at the gas valve that has also the role to

modulate the gas flow rate at the outlet towards the burner.

Ignition is made by initiating the flame by means of an ionization sensor.

The unit is foreseen with a fan having the role to evacuate the combustion gases. During the

initiating phase the fan has the role to evacuate a volume of air for ensuring a non-explosiveignition. Explosive ignition can occur because of some gas accumulations during the

shutdown periods.

The burning chamber, having a parallelepipedic shape and being manufactured of sheet iron,

lined inside with ceramic fibers, is designed in such a manner that it allows the heat transfer to

the heat exchanger with minimum heat losses.

In the case of the heating circuit, the heat resulted by combustion of the gaseous fuel is taken

over by the monothermal heat exchanger and transferred to the thermal agent (water), which

is transported through the heating installation by the circulation pump. In the case of the

domestic hot water the heat transfer is made to this circuit by the plate heat exchanger.

The combustion gases are evacuated by the fan.

The protection and the control of functioning are made electronically. The programming of 

the unit is made on the control panel (see paragraph 3.1).

The regulating, protection and automation apparatus ensure:

-  ignition of the flame

-  sensing the presence of the flame

-  signalling the temperature and pressure of the water in the unit

-  adjustment of the heating circuit temperature

-  adjustment of the temperature on the domestic hot water circuit

-  safe operation of the boiler in the case of over-temperature and over-pressure

-   presence of draft (air pressosat)

safety of the boiler at the minimum level of water (pressure sensor)-  sensing the need of domestic hot water (flow-meter) and granting prevalence to this

type of consumption.

5.2.5. The operation of the electronic plate

The IMP start cycle

When the feeding of the electronic plate is started, there must elapse 25 seconds before any

unsuccessful heating demand or attempt is processed on the plate. This allows a positive

completion of the initialization. At this moment the 4 “—“ segments are displayed and the

symbol 11 blinks.

The operating cycle starts when a heating demand exists through the room thermostat (heating

module) or flow meter (domestic hot water module). The water pump is activated (only for 

heating and the domestic circuit in monothermal boilers) and if the temperature of the water is

lower than the temperature previously regulated, the command for actuating the burner will be

initiated.

In the case of boilers with closed chamber, the control unit activates the fan only if the air  pressostat is in the “no-air-flow” position, which then shifts to the “air-flow” position, the TW

 pre-cleaning time starts and after its elapsing the gas valve is put into operation, the ignition

device is activated and the TS safety period begins.

At this moment the heat capacity of the burner is maintained at a low value (soft start). If a

flame signal (symbol 9) is detected at the end of the TS safety period, the temperature control

 process will be started and the flame of the burner will be modulated (symbol 12 increases

and decreases according to the modulation of the gas valve) for reaching the same water temperature as the one previously regulated. If the flame signal is not detected during the

safety period, the gas valve will close after elapsing this period of time and another ignition

attempt will be initiated, starting from the TW pre-cleaning time. The control unit performs 3

ignition attempts and if the flame is not detected blocking occurs. This is signaled by the

symbol 9 on the control panel; for resetting the system push the corresponding button. If there

still exists a hot water demand, the boiler will start a new ignition cycle; if the factors

determining the blocking appear again, the unit returns to the same state. The unit continues

to function until the heat demand stops or one of the safety devices is activated or the flame

extinguishes.

5.2.6. Domestic hot water module in the case of bithermal units (symbol 7 on)The ignition demand in the domestic hot water module has prevalence toward the heating

module. The ignition of the burner is produced when a domestic hot water demand occurs.

The unit tries to supply the hot water to the user at a preset temperature. The demand is

detected through the flow meter. In this case the pump is not functioning. If the temperature

of the hot water is higher than the preset value, the unit stops. Immediately after the heat

dissipates, the unit is activated again.

5.2.7. Heating module (symbol 8 on)

If the unit is on winter program and if the room thermostat is deactivated, the temperature of 

the flowing water is lower than the one set previously, the unit will initiate the ignition at soft-

start power, the modulation of the flame starts and continues until the unit reaches the

functioning state. If the temperature of the water is higher than the limit set previously by the

user, the unit stops and the pump is active; reignition occurs when the temperature of the

water decreases under the set value, provided that a period of time has elapsed from the shut-

down of the unit, namely the time “of preventing the appearance of frequent cycles”. The

maximum capacity of the unit in the heating module is set during heating with the buttons

located on the control panel.

Over-functioning of the circulation pump

Each time when the unit shuts down (in the heating module), the pump is still working for a

short period of time for preventing over-heating of the water in the primary heat exchanger.The role of the pump is to prevent blocking

If the unit did not perform any ignition cycle in a given period of time, the pump starts to

operate a few seconds for avoiding blocking owed to non-operation.

5.2.8. Antifreeze function (symbol 4 on)

When the sensor of the system measures a temperature lower than the set temperature for the

antifreeze function, the burner is activated in the heating mode and the pump starts to operate.

This state persists until the canceling temperature of the antifreeze function is reached.

5.2.9. “Chimney-sweep” function (symbol 5 blinks)

This function is specially designed for canceling the normal control of the unit, allowing the

unit to function at the maximum hating capacity. The function is useful during installing and 

when measures are taken to check the combustion products, as the standards in force may

request. The function can be deactivated manually on the control panel or by any demand for domestic hot water.

5.2.10. Auto-checking of the system and protection functions

The system is foreseen with several diagnose functions that are signaling on the display of the

control panel the operating state of the unit and the type of faults that might occur:

- Temperature of running water 

the heating temperature in 0C (from 00C to 990C) or the DHW system is displayed (if 

available).

- Blocking and the corresponding temperature (anomaly)

in the case of failure in detecting the flame after the three ignition cycles, the mother plate

will block and the blinking symbol Err E2 appears on the display of the control panel.- Parasite flame (anomaly)

if a parasite flame is present, the blinking symbol Err E2 appears

- Insufficient water pressure in the primary hydraulic circuit (anomaly)

in cases in which the pressure sensor measures an insufficient water pressure in the system

(<= 0,5 bar), the burner and the pump are deactivated and on the display appears the blinking

luminescent symbol Err E1.

- Failure of temperature sensor (anomaly)

1. Heating water sensor: any malfunction of the sensor, owed for example to a wrong

connection or short-circuit leads to an immediate deactivation of the burner and of the pump

and to the appearance of the blinking luminescent symbol Err E3.

2. Sensor for domestic hot water: any malfunction of the sensor, owed for example to a wrong

connection, does not lead to an immediate deactivation of the burner, but to the display of the

 blinking luminescent symbol Err E4 (only in the case of monothermal units)

- Absence of draft during start-up (anomaly)

if the pressostat does not commute in the TW pre-cleaning period of time, the unit does not

start to function and after 10 seconds appears on the display the blinking symbol Err E5. This

anomaly disappears when the flame is detected at the end of the operating cycle.

- The elimination of the combustion products causes the activation of the protection devices

(animaly): OPEN CHAMBER 

The protection devices of the combustion products are activated and determine the automatic

shutdown of the unit and the blinking symbol E5 appears on the display. This anomalydisappears only by pushing the SW3 button.

In the case in which the limit thermostat (TL) is activated, the system stops automatically and 

the blinking symbol Err E8 appears on the display of the control panel. This anomaly persists

even if TL is deactivated. For resetting the normal operating system is sufficient to push the

SW2 reset button.

5.4. Shutdown of the unit in safety conditions

In situations in which the final user notices that the apparatus has an abnormal functioning, if 

there are displayed repeatedly error codes or if the manifestations of the apparatus are beyond 

his power of understanding, he is obliged to shutdown the apparatus as soon as possible and 

in maximum safety conditions. For this the user has to perform the following operations:

-  to push the stand-by button for interrupting the functioning of the unit.

-  to disconnect the unit from the power supplying circuit by unplugging the feeding

cord.

-  to disconnect the fuel supplying circuit by closing the gas taps.

-  to disconnect the circulation of the domestic hot water and heating water by closing

the valves corresponding to these circuits.

After shutting down the unit in maximum safety conditions, the user will contact the service

 providing company to which he is rounded of (sell chapter 1, subchapter 1.4).

5.5. Error signals

The possible errors of the system are indicated by the following codes:

E1 – insufficient water pressure in the primary hydraulic circuit

E2 – the ionization electrode does not sense the appearance of the flame. Possible defective

gas valve or absence of the gas in the circuitE3 – absence of the signal of the temperature sensor on the central heating circuit

E4 – absence of the signal of the temperature sensor on the domestic hot water circuit

E5 – problems on the combustion gases circuit

E8 – the TL sensor is activated, reset the operating system by pushing the SW2 reset button

5.6. Visualization of pressure

The pressure in the installation is shown on the display and is useful during the filling of the

installation. The user has to check periodically if the pressure in the installation did not

decrease under the set filling value.

Page 17: Manual OPTIMUS MT c15 Eng

7/28/2019 Manual OPTIMUS MT c15 Eng

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/manual-optimus-mt-c15-eng 17/34

5.7. Absence of water in the central heating circuit

The pressure will be maintained in the range of 1-2 bar. If the minimum pressure decreases

under the value of 0,5 bar, the unit will display the E1 signal and will shutdown. If the

 pressure exceeds 3 bar, the safety valve will open and eliminates the accumulated pressure out

of the system.

5.8. Over-temperature safety thermostat

Is activated if the temperature of the water exceeds 950C, interrupting the operation of the

unit. After the temperature decreases to 850C, the thermostat allows automatic coupling.

The water perssostat is sealed in the manufacturer’s company with point of paint and

any adjustment made upon it during the warranty period implies the cancellation of the

warranty.

IT IS FORBIDDEN TO REMOVE THE AIR PRESOSTAT.

5.9. Sensing the absence of the draft

The safety air pressostat senses the non-functioning state of the fan in the case of the forced draft unit and displays the E5 error signal.

5.10. Additional information regarding the functioning of the unit

The boiler has several adjustment possibilities, but those accessible to the user are shown on

the contrl panel (Fig. 1)

Any other adjustment done by the beneficiary leads automatically to the loss of the warranty

 because it can lead to a defective functioning of the unit.

The numbers on the control panel are only informative because the thermal comfort of the

dwelling depends on many factors: insulation degree of the building, size of the windows,

orientation of the windows, etc.

Adjustments are made according to the needs and to the external temperature of the air.

The functioning of the unit will be “without permanent surveillance”, ensured automatically

 by the control apparatus mounted on the boiler and, eventually, by the environmental

apparatus (room thermostat). These apparatus must be adjusted according to the controlled 

environment.

The setting of the temperature on the heating circuit will be made between 30-800C; the

environmental thermostat will be adjusted according to the desired temperature in the

respective room.

If the central heating installation will be disconnected form the power network during the cold 

season or in cases in which the temperature in the boiler reaches the freezing point (00C) for a

 period of time exceeding 2-3 hours because of some malfunction, it is necessary to empty the boiler, the heating installation as well as the domestic hot water installation.

Also it is necessary to disconnect the boiler form the power and gas network.

5.11. Additional facilities

-  Adapting the unit to the floor heating system (maximum temperature 400C)

-  By installing an external temperature sensor the unit adapts its power according to the

temperature outside the building

-  Functioning of the unit with domestic hot water accumulation in a boiler 

5.12. Other functions regarding the safety of the installation

- Preventive unblocking of the pump

Page 18: Manual OPTIMUS MT c15 Eng

7/28/2019 Manual OPTIMUS MT c15 Eng

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/manual-optimus-mt-c15-eng 18/34

If the unit did not operate a determined period of time (24 hours), the pump will start a few

seconds for avoiding blocking because of long-term non-functioning of the unit.

- Preventive unblocking of the deflection valve

At each stopping of the pump the deflection valve is actuated for a second and then returns to

its initial position.

- Antifreeze functionWhen the sensor of the system is recording a temperature under 60C the burner starts at its

minimum power together with the pump. This stage persists (is maintained) until the

temperature of 200C is reached.

CHAPTER 6

Putting into operation, service and maintenance

6.1. Putting into operation

First filling of the installation

Flowing water will be circulated through the whole system for eliminating dirt, impurities,etc. before coupling the unit to the heating installation

1.  The boiler is connected to the heating system and the installation will be filled with

softened water.

2.  The tightness of the whole system is checked. Possible leakages are to be remedied 

during this stage.

3.  If there are no more problems, the system will be vented and completed with water.

4.  After the system has reached its working temperature it will be checked again the

tightness of the heating system.

5.  A new venting of the installation will be done, followed by completion with softened 

water if necessary.

6.  The pressure of the system will be checked daily during 3 consecutive days and if 

there is noticed a pressure loss (fact that is not abnormal because the dissolved gases

are evacuated through the automatic venting device) it is necessary to complete with

water. It is recommended also to perform in the fourth day another venting of the

installation, followed by completion with water to the working pressure.

Checking the gas feeding system

Checking will be done with soap foam for detecting possible gas losses within the whole

installation, until the gas tap of the boiler.

Checking the connection to the power networkPolarity, grounding, ground and short-circuit resistance will be checked with a multimeter.

Checking the type of gas used and setting the unit for the type of gas used

Upon beneficiary’s request the boiler can be fed with LPG by changing the nozzles of the

 burner and the settings on the electronic plate. It is recommended that in case of changing the

fuel, the start-up of the unit to be done only by personnel authorized by the manufacturing

company.

The succession of the operations and their mode of execution will be done according to

Appendix B, form B1 of P.T. A1 issued by Order no. 397/22.08.2003.

Page 19: Manual OPTIMUS MT c15 Eng

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/manual-optimus-mt-c15-eng 19/34

Combustion adjustments

Although the value of the gas pressure is adjusted by the manufacturer, different accidental

causes or a long-term use can lead to the necessity to readjust the fine adjustment of the

combustion.

All adjustments of the gas flow rate will be made according to the specific characteristics of 

the application in which the thermal unit is used. The adjustment of the modulation pressure

of the valve will be done using a pressure tester and by checking the analysis of the

combustion gases. During the analysis of the combustion gases it will be checked if the value

of the emissions are within the following limits:

Charbon monoxide – max. 100 mg/Nm3

Sulphur oxide expressed in SO2 – max 35mg/Nm3

 Nitrogen oxides NOx expressed in NO2 – max. 350mm/Nm3

All these values are referred to a content of O2 of 3% volume according to the Order 462/07/1993 issued by the Ministry of Waters, Forests and Environment Rrotection.

Adjustment and sealing of the gas valve will be done only by personnel authorized by the

manufacturer of the unit.

Installing the environmental thermostat and the external sensor

The environmental thermostat is used for optimizing the electric power and natural gas

consumption and for creating an improved comfort in the room in which it is used. This

allows maintaining the temperature of the environment within the desired parameters.

The connecting procedure of the environmental thermostat is as follows:

- The frontal carcass of the unit is dismantled for having access to the electronic control box.

- On the rear side of the electronic box are the connecting plug of the environmentalthermostat and the external sensor.

- The linking electric cable (bridge) between the two terminals of the contactor is removed.

- The two wires of the linking bifilar cable to the environmental thermostat and the external

sensor are disinsulated. The thermostat is introduced and fixed by screwing in this connector.

- There are performed. the mounting procedures of the cover of the electronic box and the

frontal carcass

So the installing procedure is ended.

OBSERVATIONS:

1.  The conductors of the bifilar cable between the unit and the environmental thermostatmust have a cross-section of 0,5mm and must be preferably of copper (Cu).

7/28/2019 Manual OPTIMUS MT c15 Eng

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/manual-optimus-mt-c15-eng 20/34

2.  The location of the environmental thermostat must be done in such a manner that its

functioning ensures an optimum comfort. For this we recommend the location of the

thermostat at a height of 1,2m above the floor of the room.

3.  The position of the switch of the environmental thermostat is marked on the diagram

of the electronic plate at the position T.A.

4.  There can be used both simple thermostats and mechanical or electronic ones.

Handing over to the beneficiary

It is important to explain to the beneficiary the following:

1.  The ignition and closing procedure of the boiler, including the insulation of the power 

feeding part.

2.  The operating mode of the boiler and possible problems that can occur. Also it will be

explained the significance of each button or switch on the control panel.

3.  There will be explained to the final user the error codes and the interpretation mode of 

the error codes.

4.  The beneficiary will be warned that a decrease of the water pressure in the system is

caused by a leakage that must be remedied before using again the boiler.5.  It is recommended that the beneficiary requests at least once a year the checking of the

operation of the boiler made by an authorized person.

6.  The beneficiary will be warned about the cautions to be taken against freezing.

7.  The start-up sheet will be signed and also a report of the beneficiary’s briefing in

which he signs that he has appropriated the operating modality of the boiler.

These documents are signed in the original by the beneficiary and the person who performs

the putting into operation. In the start-up report there will be registered also the possible errors

made by the installing personnel during mounting and if the person in charge with the start-up

of the installation considers that these errors are dangerous, he has the right to refuse the start-

up until their remedying.

The person who performs the start-up is not obliged to correct the mounting errors, but he

assumes his responsibility that the installation corresponds from the functional and 

constructive point of view with the selected unit.

CHAPTER 7

Main components and equipments

The main components and equipments of the C15 SPV 24 MEFM units are the followings:

7.1. Front cover – is made of pickled sheet iron with a thickness of 1mm, dyed inelectrostatic field.

It can be dismantled. By dismantling it is ensured the access to the other elements and 

equipments of the unit.

The front cover together with the carcass of the unit form the pressurizing chamber which is

tight.

7.2. Combustion chamber – is made of 1mm sheet iron, has a parallelepipedic shape and is

insulated inside with ceramic fibers.

7.3. Gas valve – has the role to provide the quantity of gas necessary for combustion and is

electronically controlled for realizing the requested constant temperature by modulating thegas flow rate. The units are equipped with Honeywell (Holland) gas valves.

Pressure adjustments are made only by the manufacturer or the service representative. The

operation of the unit is permitted only with the gas valve sealed.

The assembly gas valve – combustion modulator ensures a continuously modulation at startup

and for maintaining the temperature set on the control panel, providing the minimum and 

maximum pressure of the fuel imposed for operating the unit at minimum, respectively

maximum load.

On the gas feeding circuit is installed a pressure regulator which regulates the pressure at the

inlet in the unit at a value of 20mbar for natural gas and at 30-37mbar for LPG.

7.4. Burner – has the role to mix gas and air, resulting the combustible mixture, and to direct

the flame. Is made of stainless steel with 11 ramps and 11 nozzles that are of two types. For 

natural gas they have a diameter of 1,25mm and for LPG 0,77mm.

Page 24: Manual OPTIMUS MT c15 Eng

7/28/2019 Manual OPTIMUS MT c15 Eng

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/manual-optimus-mt-c15-eng 24/34

 

The burner is made of stainless steel and is delivered by the WORGAS Company – Italy. The

 burner is endowed with an ignition electrode and an ionization electrode delivered by the

RAUSCHER Company – Germany. The ignition spark appears between the ignition electrode

and grounding.

7.5. Heat exchanger (combustion gases/water) – is monothermal, being made of oval bronze

tubes on which bronze lamellas are mounted. Its role is to realize the thermal transfer from the

flame to the thermal agent (water), which circulates inside.

The monohtermal heat exchanger is delivered by the FUGAS Company – Italy and is made of 

oval tubes with ovoid wing type elements with an active part of 220x180mm2.

7.6. Plate heat exchanger – is made of sheet copper. Has the role to make the heat transfer 

 between the thermal agent in the heating circuit and the water in the flowing water circuit. It

is mounted on the hydroblock.

7.7. Safety valve – protects the thermal unit and the installation, opening when the pressure

exceeds 3bar.

7.8. Circulation pump. The circulation of water in the heating installation/boiler is madewith a GRUNDFOS circulation pump (Denmark).

If it is noticed that the power of the pump is not sufficient for an installation (namely it has a

total pressure drop higher than 6m water column) then it can be linked in series another 

circulation pump.

Page 25: Manual OPTIMUS MT c15 Eng

7/28/2019 Manual OPTIMUS MT c15 Eng

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/manual-optimus-mt-c15-eng 25/34

7.9. Expansion vessel – has the role to take over the thermal dilatation in the central heating

circuit and has a capacity of 7 liters.

The ZILMET expansion vessels (Italy) the unit is equipped with are closed expansion vessels.

If the total volume of the expansion vessels is not enough, there can be mounted additional

expansion vessels directly on the installation.

7.10. Flow meter – has the role to sense the appearance of a flow on the domestic hot water 

circuit.

7.11. Three-way valve

Description and functioning: has the role to realize the transfer from the heating circuit on the

short domestic hot water preparing circuit by obturating the circulation of water in the heating

line in favor of the internal line of the unit which contains the plate heat exchanger for 

 preparing domestic hot water.

7.12. Fan – its role is to evacuate the combustion gases. The fan has variable speed that is

controlled by a Hall type sensor.

The speed of the fan is directly proportional with the value of the gas flow rate regulated by

the modulating valve, so it results a quasi-constant air excess on the whole range of thermal

loads which leads to a major decrease of the CO and NOx values and implicitly to theimprovement of the efficiency of the combustion.

By using this system the obtained yields are over 90% at any thermal load by which the boiler 

is functioning. The C15 SPV 24 MEFM units are endowed with LN di NATALINI LINO

monophase fans (Italy) with one functioning stage and with a high degree of silencing.

7.13. Air pressostat – has the role to sense the absence of draft and to control the shutdown

of the boiler (by controlling the electronic ignition) if this is not functioning, does not function

correctly or when evacuation tubing of the combustion gases is obturated.

7.14. Evacuation kit – has the role to support the evacuation of the combustion gases and to

ensure the airflow to the combustion chamber.

The combustion gases evacuation and air feeding kit is manufactured by the Company LN di

 NATALINI LINO – Italy.

It is used only at the unit versions with forced circulation and consists of two concentrically

mounted tubes which are making the linkage with the outside of the room.

7.15. Hydroblock inlet – hydroblock outlet – plate heat exchanger assembly

Is produced by FUGAS Company – Italy.

With the help of the hydroblock the filling of the central heating circuit is realized by opening

the valve. The fluxostate (Hal sensor) is hydraulically attached and has the role to sense the

domestic hot water demand.

Also on the hydroblock is installed the water pressostat and the control device of the three-

way valve.

7.16. Control plate – realizes the interacting between the automation elements.

The control, protection and automation system ensures the following functions with the

observation of the Technical Prescription in force:-  Pre-venting of the burning chamber 

-  Ignition of the flame

-  Signaling the temperature and pressure of the water in the unit

-  Regulating the temperature on the heating circuit

-  Regulating the temperature on the domestic hot water circuit

-  Starting of the pump if a demand for heating water appears

-  Safety of the thermal unit at over-temperature and over-pressure

-  Absence of draft (air pressostat)

-  Safety of the thermal unit at the minimum level of water (water pressostat)

-  Sensing the demand for domestic hot water (flow-meter) and granting prevalence to

this consumptionThese functions are ensured by the automation block (electronic plate) BRAHMA S.p.A. – 

Italy, with ignition transformer TR2 of 15kW working at 220V – 50Hz with the role of 

functioning controller of the thermal unit.
