Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

NOTICE
Sidewall Venting
The Peerless® Series WV-DV™ is designed and built to be vented through a side wall of a building using a stainless steel concentric vent terminal (4 inch diameter tube inside an 8 inch diameter tube). Exhaust gases from combustion contain water vapor. During the cooler months of the year, this water vapor will condense into a visible vapor plume. This water vapor may condense on any surface near the vent terminal. Care must be taken not to locate the vent terminal where the exhaust gas, vapor plume and condensation could cause a hazard or a nuisance. Do not locate terminal under a deck, for instance, as it may create a coating of ice on the deck during the winter months, as well as shorten the life of the deck materials. Refer to Chapter 4 in this manual for specific terminal location requirements. Condensate from a side wall vent terminal may also cause paint on surrounding surfaces to crack and peel. If the boiler is used to heat potable (tap) water, the boiler will cycle year round. The effects of hot exhaust gases and odors must be taken into consideration during summer months.
Side wall vented, oil fired appliances may cause soot staining on wall surfaces surrounding their terminals. To reduce the potential for staining, the boiler must be serviced annually. Soot and scale must be completely removed from the combustion chamber and cast iron heat exchanger flueways. See Chapter 7 in this manual. The oil burner must be completely serviced and set up according to the specifications shown in Chapter 5 of this manual.

  4. See clearance information in Section 1, “Preinstallation”.
  5. See exploded view (Figure 9.1). After uncrating boiler and setting it on foundation, open burner mountingplate (Item 5) and make certain the target wall (Item 2) is seated in the back of the combustion chamber. (WV-DV-04) Ceramic fiber blanket base liner (Item 3) should be lying flat on bottom of combustion chamber between target wall and burner mounting plate. Close burner mounting plate.

PIPING & CONTROLS

A. BOILER SUPPLY & RETURN

  1. See Figure 3.1 for suggested piping to the boiler.

  2. Make up cold water supply connection to the boiler.

  3. Plug all open tappings in the boiler and fill with water.
    Apply approximately thirty (30) psi pressure. Check to make certain that all joints and fittings are water tight.

  4. After all joints and connections have been proven water tight, remove cold water supply and plugs from all tappings that are to be used. See Figure 8.1 for tapping locations.

  5. Return piping must allow for opening and closing Burner Mounting Plate. PB Heat, LLC suggests installing a 1-1/4 NPT tee, a 90° elbow, and a 1-1/4 NPT x 5” long nipple in the return tapping before a vertical stand pipe is used.

  6. The supply and return connections should be sized to suit the system. A 1-1/2” to 1-1/4” reducing coupling may be used on the return where the system piping is 1-1/2”.

  7. The supply should be out of the top of the back section and return to the bottom of the front section. There is a 3/4” tapping in the top of the back section for air elimination.

  8. When the return temperature from the system will be below 150°F on oil boilers for extended periods (heat pump systems, outdoor reset, snow melt, etc.), provide piping and controls to protect the boiler from condensation. Condensation will damage the boiler and will lead to shortened boiler life and maintenance problems.PB WV-DV Series Oil Boilers - CONTROLS

  9. If the boiler is to be used in conjunction with a refrigeration system, the chilled medium shall be piped in parallel with boiler and proper valves applied to prevent the chilled medium from entering the boiler. Refer to Figure 3.2.

  10. If the boiler is connected to heating coils located in air handling units, the boiler piping system must be equipped with flow control valves or other automatic devices to prevent gravity circulation of the boiler water during the cooling cycle.

B. SAFETY RELIEF VALVE
CAUTION
Pipe the discharge of the safety relief valve to prevent injury in the event of pressure relief. Pipe the discharge to a drain. Provide piping that is the same size as the relief valve.

  1. Remove safety relief valve and 3/4” x 3” nipple from parts bag. Install nipple and safety relief valve in top or rear tapping. See Figure 8.1. If rear tapping is used, installer must supply an elbow so that safety relief valve is installed in vertical position.

BURNER SETUP & BOILER OPERATION

CAUTION
Burn only #2 Fuel Oil in this appliance. Do not use gasoline, crankcase drainings or any oil containing gasoline.
A. BURNER INSTALLATION

  1. The oil burner is supplied with a mounting flange fixed in position.
    NOTICE
    Be sure hi temp gasket is between the burner mounting flange and the Burner Mounting Plate.

  2. Care must be taken when routing the oil lines so not to interfere with the opening and closing of the burner mounting plate. Flexible oil lines or flared copper disconnects with valves (when copper lines are used) may be installed to assure full opening of the burner mounting plate when servicing.
    NOTICE
    Two-pipe oil supply for Riello burner requires a separate kit. Order part

    C7001026 from Riello dealer.

  3. Oil burner specifications:
    For information pertinent to the oil burner such as nozzle sizing, fuel supply piping, adjusting or servicing, refer to the charts in this section and the burner installation manual.

  4. Sampling tapping in CeraFlex Appliance Adapter must be used for CO², smoke and flue pressure readings.

B. BURNER START-UP & ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION
Do not start the burner unless all cleanout doors are in place.

  1. Burner should start automatically when thermostat is turned up and main boiler service switch is turned on.
    If burner does not start, check to be sure there is oil in the tank and push reset button on burner control:
    Beckett: Square red button.
    Riello: Round red button inside clear flexible cover on back of burner cover.
    If burner still does not start, contact serviceman.
    CAUTION
    Do not attempt to start the burner when excess oil has accumulated, when the unit is full of vapor, or when the combustion chamber is very hot.

  2. Adjust burner for highest CO² (Maximum 13.1%) while maintaining a 0 Smoke. Pressure or draft over fire and in flue cannot be adjusted. However, draft and/ or pressure measurements must be taken in these two locations and recorded for reference.
    All adjustments must be made using suitable instruments such as found in a Bacharach Combustion Test Kit.
    CAUTION
    Always keep the manual fuel supply valve shut off if the burner is shut down for an extended period of time.

  3. Burner and boiler can be shut down by turning down the thermostat and moving the main boiler service switch to the “off” position.

  4. Post-purge timing on Riello BF5 burner is controlled by 3/8” diameter dial near top right corner of AL1009 circuit board inside burner cover. Post-purge duration must be a minimum of one minute. Adjust dial so arrow is pointing directly to the right (toward mounting screw for AL1009 bracket). Check post-purge timing to confirm it is at least one minute long. 5. See burner manufacturer’s manual for further information regarding the burner.

C. CHECK BOILER CONTROLS

  1. Limit and Operating Controls:
    a. Lower the set point of each control until the burner shuts down. Note that the system temperature corresponds to the desired set point.
    b. Return the controls to the desired set point.

  2. Low Water Cut-off – consult the manufacturer’s instructions for the low water cut-off operational check procedure.

D. FILL THE BOILER

  1. Set the air pressure on the expansion tank to the system water pressure before filling boiler. The pressure reducing valve on the fill line will typically allow the system to be filled and pressurized to 12 psi (83 kPa). Consult the valve and expansion tank manufacturer for more specific information.
  2. Fill the boiler and system with water making certain to vent air from all high points in the system. Water should bleed from each air vent when it is opened.
  3. Check all joints and fittings throughout the system for leaks. If leaks are found, drain the system and repair as
  4. See Section 1 – Preinstallation for boiler water treatment requirements.
  5. If the system requires antifreeze protection, use onlypropylene glycol specially formulated for hydronic systems. These contain inhibitors that prevent corrosion of the boiler and system components. Do not use ethylene glycol or automotive antifreezes.
    a. Make sure that the antifreeze supplier can provide periodic testing of antifreeze concentration and inhibitor level.
    b. If an automatic fill valve is used, the solution strength in the system must be checked to assure that the antifreeze concentration has not been overly diluted.
    c. Local codes may require the addition of a backflow preventer or manual fill only with separation from the city water supply.
    d. Consider the minimum temperature of potential exposure in the system when deciding on the antifreeze concentration. A concentration of 50% generally provides protection from freezing to -30°F.

E. PURGE AIR FROM THE SYSTEM

  1. Purge the system using purge valves, isolating zones in the process or use system vents. Do not operate the pump(s) while purging. Pumps will hold air in the eye of the impeller.
  2. Allow the system to reach 180°F and use manual vents, if installed, to remove any remaining air. Watch the pressure gauge as the system approaches 180°F. If the pressure exceeds the design operating pressure, check:
    a. Fill valve pressure.
    b. Expansion or compression tank operation and sizing.
