Prevention of condensations
Condensation in boilers is harmful, especially
when they are made of steel. With a combustion
set to 25% excess air, boilers are suitable for
operating with a minimum boiler temperature and
return temperature, showed in the the following
table:
Requirement

65 – 100%

When installation requires lower temperatures
than those of the table, it will be necessary to add
a by-pass pump to raise the return temperature
and/or a 3 way mixing valve to have a flow
temperature lower than boiler temperature.
The "Pr" by-pass pump can be calculated for a
water flow about 50% of the main heating pump
of the installation "Pi" and with possibility to
overcome the boiler pressure drop (always less
than 0,1 bar).
Note:
If after following the above recommendations, any
signs of malfunction or failure is detected in the
boiler or installation, please contact with your local
distributor or any authorized After Sales Service.
