L’ACQUA.
1. WATER
Check that the physical-chemical characteristics of water are
within the values shown into EC directive 80/778.
As far as Italy is concerned, also refer to both DPR 24-05-1988
n.236 as amended and integrated (at present, the Ministerial
Decree issued by the Ministry of Health on 14/07/1988 and the
Ministerial Decree issued by the Ministry of Health on 14/02/1989
as well are in force) and DM26/03/1991.
Make use of treatment systems that are suitable to keep the potable
water characteristics as above specified and being in compliance with
what provided for by the Authorities in charge.
2. CORROSION PROTECTION
2.1. VITROFLEX HI-TECH
Cylinders’ surface of series 209 SPTE has been treated with the
anticorrosive VITROFLEX HI-TECH, which is waterproof,
dielectric, highly thermal shock-resistant and collision proof ;
furthermore, it can ensure the best alimentary-sanitary
characteristics. VITROFLEX HI-TECH, in fact, makes SICC
cylinders suitable for the potable water supply, in accordance with
EEC directive 89/109.
2.2. Magnesium anode
Cylinders 209 SPTE have an internal corrosion protection
consisting of a fully active system given by magnesium anodes. Its
wear status must be periodically checked each 6 months, at least,
by pressing the proper tester key and being sure that the indicator
position stays within the green zone of the reading field, otherwise
the anode replacement should be arranged as soon as possible.
3. PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS
Series 209 SPTE products deal with cylinders created to produce
hot sanitary water. They have been manufactured both in the
vertical and horizontal versions and they are particularly suitable
for plants of small and medium sizes. They are equipped with
brackets for the wall fastening as well as threaded couplings for
the feeding hydraulic connections. They mainly consist of a tanker,
an exchanger and an insulation.
3.1. Storage
Tankers have been manufactured with high quality carbon steel
plates. Their relevant arc welding deals with a totally automatic
procedure, which has been approved by the main testing entities.
Max. operation pressure allowed is of 8 bar and max. temperature
allowed is of 99 °C. Series 209 SPTE’s tanker has been internally
treated with VITROFLEX HI-TECH anti corrosive, so that it can
hold water for alimentary-sanitary purposes, in accordance with
EEC directive 89/109.
3.2. Heat Exchanger.
The heat exchanger consists of a pigtail coil. 12 bar is its max.
operation pressure, whilst 99 °C is its max. temperature.
3.3. Insulation
Insulation concerning series 209 SPTE consists of a hard – high
density polyurethane insulation lined with a pre-coated lamination,
allowing to limit leakage according to the values shown as follows:
Type heat leakage (at + 40 °C between
tanker and environment) KW/h
80 0.064
100 0.074
150 0.077
200 0.090
300 0.110
3.4. Electric kit.
Cylinders 209 SPTE may be equipped with an optional electric kit,
which consists of:
- Winter-summer switch (pump / element)
- Timer
- Manually rechargeable safety thermostat
- 220 Volt 2000 watt monophase electric element.
4. INSTALLATION, USE AND MAINTENANCE
4.1. Installation
Always arrange for safety valves and expansion tanks for the primary
and secondary circuits. During the installation phase, always comply
with the laws in force and the drawings attached. The appliance shall
always be equipped with a cathode protection (magnesium anode).
Always arrange for an automatic air discharge valve to be placed on
the cylinder upper side, by the hot water outlet line. Make use of
dielectric couplings when cylinder is connected to tubes which are
made of another material. Charge and raise steam the primary circuit
before the sanitary water tank. See the thermostat wiring diagram as
for the electric connections (series 209 SPTE).
To fit the electric element proceed as follows:
- remove the relevant coupling plug (1 ¼”);
- assembly the element;
- then connect it and arrange for a safety series manual charge
thermostat, as to the thermostat, to avoid boiling.
4.2. Use
The cylinder has been manufactured to produce hot water only;
therefore, any other different use shall be considered as dangerous
and unsuitable.
The cylinder should be used in accordance with the temperature and
pressure limits shown on the nameplate and within such booklet as
well.
Check the magnesium anode at least 2 times a year and during the
boiler normal use; such checks should be more frequent in case
water is particularly aggressive.
4.3. Maintenance
Magnesium anode replacement
Discharge the cylinder, remove the anode tester cable, then unscrew
the anode plug, by means of a 40mm socket spanner, and put a
vessel for the water of the tanker lower part under the same plug.
Make use of original anodes and gaskets to replace the old ones.
Then, fill the boiler again and make sure that there is no leakage.
! ! Warning !
Always disconnect the power supply before any
kind of operation (assembly, maintenance, technical
repair, etc.) !
