Electrical Requirements

a) Connect wiring as shown in
the wiring diagram which is fur-
nished inside the electrical control
panel box.

b) Be sure to install a fused discon-
nect for the blower and/or pump..
The disconnect should be installed
in compliance with the NEC
(National Electric Code) and all local
codes.

c) Connections for an optional
audible alarm are provided in the
control panel and are clearly indicat-
ed on the diagram.

Make Up Air Supply for Boiler
Room

a) It is most important to provide
free access of air to the boiler. To
burn fuel properly, it requires one
square inch opening of fresh air for
every 3,000 BTU input of fuel.
(6.4cm

for every 56 Kcal).

b) Proper ventilation of the boiler
room is essential for good combus-
tion. Install two make up air open-
ings, one at a low level (24” or
610mm from floor) and one at a
higher level in the boiler room
wall.This will provide a flow of air to
exhaust the hot air from the boiler
room.

c) The following openings are
recommended for each size boiler:

Make Up Air Openings

BHP

1 .09

.09

1 .09

1.5 .14

.37

.46

7.5

.69

Be sure total BHP = proper make
up air opening size. For instance
if you have three 10 BHP boilers,
it is a total BHP of 30, and the 30
BHP make up air opening size is
recommended.

NOTE

These measurements are subject
to state and local regulations. The
installation of exhaust fans in a boil-
er room Is not recommended. An
exhaust fan, or similar equipment
can create down draft in the stack or
restrict the burner’s air supply
which will result In poor combustion.
It is essential that only fresh air is
allowed to enter the combustion air
system. Foreign substances, such
as combustible volatiles and lint, in
the combustion system can create
hazardous conditions.
