Sizing of the Boiler

Instructions for the Installer

It is very important to conduct a heatloss analysis of

the intended heated space. Select the electric boiler size

in kW based on its Btu/hr. rating that best meets the

designed heatloss.

It is important not to overly exceed the kW sizing as

this will lead to unnecessary costs of electric boiler, wiring

and materials. Consequentially it is extremely imperative

NOT to undersize the electric boiler.

How to choose the correct electric boiler size? Convert

BTU to kW by dividing the BTU load by 3,413.

(Ex. 33,513 BTU / 3,413 = 9.81kW). Choose a electric

boiler that slightly exceeds this kW requirement by no

more than 20%.

For larger BTU loads consider cascading the electric

boilers together and pipe the system in a parallel

configuration as described in the piping arrangement

section.

Note: that utilizing propylene glycol freeze protection will

reduce the heat transfer and cause the system to

be less efficient. Under no circumstance should

more than a 50/50 ratio of water to propylene

glycol be used. Consult with radiant system

designers for required freeze protection guidelines.

Designed Temperature Differential

Radiant floor heating systems are typically designed for a

10°- 20°F temperature differential determined by when

the heating fluid leaves the electric boiler and where it

enters the radiant heat source. i.e. radiant PEX/tubing.

Circulating Pump Information

This electric boiler is equipped with a Wilo Star S 21 U

15, 3 speed circulating pump. To determine the speed or

setting of the pump, confirm with radiant design completed

by others and or complete a pressure-loss calculation.

Refer to calculations of loop lengths to determine proper

speed. The pump will automatically operate based on a

thermostat call for heat. After the thermostat temperature

set point has been reached, the pump will continue to

circulate water for 3 additional minutes as part of a post

purge operation to push heated water away from the heat

exchanger.

This electric boiler is also equipped with an additional

pump relay. This will aid the installer if there is any need

to pipe the systems with a secondary circulating pump to

overcome pressure drop due to piping or hydronic tubing

design. This is commonly referred to as primary/secondary

applications described in the piping arrangement section.

Plumbing Installation Guidelines

Instructions for the Installer

1. Remove outer screws at the bottom and at the top

of electric boiler and carefully open the front cover.

2. The electric boiler is wall hung and must be installed

in a vertical position where plumbing connections are

located at the bottom. Utilize key holes slots to hang

the electric boiler. Refer to diagram on clearances

(page 5).

3. The electric boiler is provided with a e in. air vent

located on top of the heat exchanger. It is designed to

collect and remove air. Ensure plastic drain tubing

remains in place and exits the electric boiler in the

lower right corner.

4. The electric boiler is equipped with a pre-charged flat

expansion tank located on the back housing of the

electric boiler. Expansion tank has a Shrader valve,

which location is shown on the figure. This figure

presents the bottom view of the electric boiler.

Access to the valve is only from the bottom of

the electric boiler. From there it can be connected any

pressure gauge to check the pressure or pump to refill

the air inside the tank.

5. The electric boiler is equipped with an ASME

approved 30 psi automatic safety pressure relief

valve. Install the necessary length of cin. copper

piping from the relief valve to within 6 in. of the floor

to prevent personal injury or water damage to

surrounding area.

6. Observe inlet return piping (blue label) and outlet

supply feed piping (red lable) connections. Install

shutoff valves below inlet and outlet connections

before plumbing the electric boiler to the hydronic

heating system.

DO NOT reverse these connections to the radiant

supply and return manifolds. Optional temperature

or pressure gauges can be installed below the electric

boiler if desired.

7. Install boiler drain valve(s) as necessary to aid in

filling, purging and draining of unit and the related

system components.

8. Water supply feed or pressure reducing valve can

be installed to comply with local building codes.

Local codes may require a back flow preventer called

a check valve when installing a fixed domestic water

supply line to the electric boiler.

Plumbing Installation Guidelines (continued)

Instructions for the Installer

9. When possible, fill the electric boiler and hydronic

system with treated water. (i.e. soft or distilled

water) This will substantially extend the life of the

heating elements and reduce sediment buildup.

10. Freeze protection additives can be added. Only use

propylene glycol type freeze protection products for

hydronic heating systems that are non-toxic and

corrosion resistant.

The propylene glycol mix shall not exceed 50%, by

volume. 1 Under no circumstance should methanol

or ethylene glycol (automobile antifreeze) be added

to the electric boiler system as this may damage

internal components.

11. Insure purging of all air throughout electric boiler

system and related components.

12. This electric boiler requires a minimum

pressure of 7 psi in order to operate. Pressure levels

for hydronic systems typically are above the pre-

charged expansion tank pressure level (12 psi).

If additional pressure gauges are installed verify

reading as described on item 7.

13. The electric boiler is equipped with a pressure

differential bypass valve. This allows the minimum

flow rate to pass through the electric boiler when all

zone valves are closed. The valve will also help

reduce noise issues upon closing of zone valves or

actuators.

To adjust:

Turn differential bypass valve clockwise until it stops.

Turn on all heating zones and let them heat for a

couple of minutes.

Caution! piping can get hot quickly upon opening

the valve. Slowly open the bypass valve by turning

in a counter clock wise direction.

Stop turning once an increase in temperature is felt

on the outlet side of the valve. This is referred to the

tipping point. After reaching the tipping point continue

to turn the valve one complete turn. The valve is now

set to bypass excess flow as zone valves close.

Set the thermostats to normal set temperatures.

14. Proceed to the Electrical Installation.
