1.3 Indirect Fired
The term ‘Indirect Fired’ indicates that the products of combustion are kept isolated from the main supply air stream. The burner fires into a combustion chamber, the resultant products of combustion are directed into a heat exchanger and from there to an external flue, which dis- charges into the atmosphere.
1.4 Factory Test
All heaters produced will be subjected to various tests before they are dispatched. Each heater is individual so the data will differ between each unit. The relevant data can be found on the data plate attached to the heater.
1.5 Construction
The construction of a Zephyr will consist of double skin panels all around. External units will be fully water proof; the burner compartment will be adequately ventilated via two combustion air grills situated high & low.

Installation
3.1 Location/Positioning
WARNING The oil variant of the heaters must be installed in accordance
with the current OFTEC regulations for oil fired products. Under no
circumstances should any item be placed on or above any part of the heater,
whether it is being used or not.
All basic criteria must be satisfied prior to commencing the installation and
commissioning process.
The heater must be positioned and installed to comply with all relevant
standards and guidelines and should also meet the local and national fire
regulations and insurance criteria, this is critical if the heater is to be
installed within a special risk area (e.g. being; within close proximity to
where petrol engine vehicles are stored or parked, where cellulose spraying
takes place, where woodworking machinery is being operated, etc,).
CAUTION The heater must not be installed within an area with unsuitable
conditions, e.g. where the atmosphere is highly corrosive, has a high degree
of salinity, or where high wind velocities may affect burner operation.
Suitable protection should be provided for the appliance when it is located in
a position where it may be susceptible to external mechanical damage; for
example, fork lift trucks, overhead cranes etc. Indirect heaters must not be
located in hazardous areas, however, it is permissible for the heater to
supply air to such areas. The heater must not be installed within an
environment where there is a high concentration of chlorides, fluorides,
salts, or other aggressive or volatile chemicals/ compounds. Nor should the
heater be positioned where the burner could be adversely affected by high
winds or draughts. The location chosen for the heater must allow for the
fitting of an effective flue system. The location must also allow for adequate
clearance for the air supply, return air circulation, gas supply and
electrical supply, whilst also providing good and safe working access. The
heater must be installed on a flat and level surface made from non-
combustible material, which is sufficiently robust to withstand the weight of
the heater and any ancillary equipment.
3.2 General requirements
WARNING Unauthorised modifications to the appliance, or departure from
the manufacturers guidance on intended use, on recommended practices may
constitute a hazard.
To ignore the warning and caution notices, and advice from the manufacturer on
installation, commissioning, servicing, or use, will jeopardise any applicable
warranty. Moreover, such a situation could also compromise the safe and
efficient running of the appliance itself, and thereby constitute a hazard All
heaters must be earthed. The installation of the appliance must meet all the
relevant European, national, and local criteria. Prior to installation the
following points should be considered;
- The position of the heater for the optimum efficient distribution and circulation of warm air.
- The position of the heater relative to the route of the flue.
- The position of the heater relative to the supply of fuel
- The position of the heater relative to the electrical services, and if appropriate, any additional controls.
- The position of the heater relative to the supply of fresh combustion air.
- The height if applicable at which the heater is to be mounted and potential stratification /circulation problems.
- The position of the heater relative to service and maintenance requirements.
- The appliance is designed to work in a maximum ambient temperature of 40°c.
The Air Heaters are designed for mounting directly on the floor and do not need any fixing.
3.2.1 Electrical supply
CAUTION Ensure the supply is in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations and is as stated on the appliance data plate.
The main electrical supply must not be switched off or disconnected as a
method for stopping the heater, the exception to this is in an emergency, or
during servicing, where the heat exchanger has been given sufficient cooling
time to regent damage from occurring. Claims for damage will not be
considered if they resulted from incorrect wiring or incorrect use of the
heater Wiring external to the heater must be installed in accordance with any
local, national, and European regulations. The means of connection to the
main electrical supply must allow for complete electrical isolation of the
heater, furthermore, in the case of a unit wired for a three-phase supply, the
supply should only be used to serve the heater itself and no other plant or
equipment. The position of the isolation switch must be such that it is
adjacent to the heater and easily accessible at all times. In addition, the
isolator itself must have a contact separation of not less than 3mm. The
Control fuse ratings are detailed on the appliance data plate.
WARNING
Ensure that the electric and gas or oil supplies are turned off before any
electrical work is carried out on the heater.
Ensure that wiring cannot make contact with any surfaces liable to be subject
to high temperatures or where the insulation of the wiring could be impaired
as a result of such contact.
3.3 Installers Responsibilities
- To install the heater, as well as the gas and electrical supplies, in accordance with applicable specifications and codes. Space-Ray recommends the installer contact a local Building Inspector, Fire Officer or Insurance Company for guidance.
- To use the information given in the manual together with the local and national codes to perform the installation.
- To install the heater in accordance with the Clearances to Combustibles of this heater.
- To plan for the installation of supports, flues and air intakes.
- To provide access to burners for servicing.
- To provide the owner with a copy of this installation, commissioning, operation and service manual.
- To never use heater as support for ladder.
- To ensure that there is sufficient ventilation in the area to comply with the requirements of all relevant local and national codes.
Ignoring the warning and caution notices and the advice from the manufacturer
on installation, commissioning, servicing, or use, will jeopardise any
applicable warran- ty. This could also compromise the safe and efficient
running of the appliance itself and thereby constitute a hazard.
3.4 Heater installation
Before installation, check that the local distribution conditions, nature of
gas pressure and adjustment of the appliance are compatible.
The air heater must be installed in accordance with the rules in force and the
relevant requirements of any fire regulations or insurance company’s
requirements appertaining to the area in which the heater is located,
particularly where special risks are involved, such as areas where petrol
vehicles are housed, where cellulose spraying is carried out, in wood working
departments etc.
3.4.1 Clearances and Positioning
The following clearances for installation and servicing must be observed:
To the front – Equal to the depth of the heater.
To the rear – 1.0m
To at least one side- 1.0m
Above the heater – 1.0m
Clearances – see Fig.1
A minimum of 500mm upstream and downstream must be allowed for, due to the
radiant heat. Filters must be fireproof, if fitted and a motor shield is
required over the main supply fan motor if directly in front of the heater.
To correctly install the heater, bear in mind that the heaters should:
- Be installed on a level noncombustible surface capable of supporting the weight of the heater and any ancillary equipment.
- Be supported over the entire perimeter of the lower base.
- Be placed on a surface whose deflection and strength is such that it can prevent vibrations from reaching underneath.
- Respect the clearance distances in order to allow for a correct flow of air and normal cleaning and maintenance operations.
- Be easily and safely accessible without the need for special equipment (ladders, mobile platforms, etc.).
- Maintain the safety distances from flammable material;
- Be placed close to a flue exit point.
- Be able to be connected to the fuel source.
- Be close to an electrical socket.
- Allow for easy maintenance and inspections;
- Be fitted with the ventilation openings required by the relevant regulations. Do Not Install the Unit:
- In places where there are aggressive atmospheres.
- In tight spaces where the sound level of the heater can be increased by reflections or echoes.
- In corners where leaves could accumulate or where other objects could clog the air passage and reduce the heater efficiency.
- In pressurized environments.
- In negative pressure environments.
- Outdoors, if not provided with protection against bad weather conditions.
When installing the heater, minimum clearance is required around the heater.
If the heater is to be fitted at a height, then the structure of the gantry
must be capable of the heaters weight (see
Table 2), also a safe working platform and access must be allowed for; to
enable easy and safe working access.
Note: The front of the heater is the side on which the burner is
fastened.
When designing a system, allowance must be made so equipment can be serviced
after installation and for the fitting of any spares, which may be required.
The Zephyr is designed to be installed nozzle head or in ductwork. The
appliance is designed to work in a maximum ambient temperature of 40°c. The
Air Heaters are mounted direct on the floor and do not need any fixing. The
base on which the heater is positioned should not be less than 150mm (6
inches) thick and must be constructed of non-combustible material. Any
combustible material adjacent to the heater and the flue system must be placed
or shielded as to ensure that its temperature does not exceed 65ºC.
WARNING No air heater shall be installed where there is a foreseeable
risk of flammable particles, gases, vapours, or corrosion inducing gases or
vapours being drawn into either the heated air stream or the air for
combustion. In such cases installation may only proceed if the air to be
heated and the air for combustion are ducted to the heater from an
uncontaminated source, preferably out side the building. If this heater is to
be suspended, then weight in table 2 must be considered.
3.4.2 Supply air ductwork
All delivery and return air ducts, including air filters, jointing and any
insulation or lining must be constructed entirely of materials, which will not
contribute to a fire, are of adequate strength and dimensionally stable for
the maximum internal and external temperatures to which they are to be exposed
during commissioning and normal operation. In the selection of materials,
account must be taken of the working environment and the air temperatures
which will result when the overheat limit thermostat is being commissioned.
Where inter-joint spaces are used as duct routes, they should be suitably
lined with fire-resisting material.
A full and unobstructed return air path to the air heater must be provided.
If the air heater is to be installed in a plant room, the return air and warm
air discharge arrangements must be such as to avoid interference with the
operation of the flue by the air circulation fan. The return air intake and
the warm air outlet(s) should therefore be fully ducted, in the plant room, to
and from the heater, respectively. The openings in the structure of the plant
room through which the ducting passes must be fire stopped. In addition, where
there is a risk of combustible material being placed close to the warm air
outlets, suitable barrier rails should be provided to prevent any combustible
material being within 900mm (3 ft) of the outlets.
3.4.3 Airflow
It is essential that the correct amount of air is provided through the heater
and should be evenly distributed when entering the heater.
All pressure calculations/resistances for air are ambient with the Heater in
the ‘off’ position.
3.4.4 Air distribution
It is essential that the correct amount of air is provided through the heater
and should be evenly distributed when entering the heater.
All pressure calculations/resistances for air are ambient with the Heater in
the ‘off’ position.
The materials selected must be of low heat capacity, and it is preferable that
all warm air ductwork is thermally insulated. Where ducting may be subject to
deterioration from exposure to moisture or high humidity, material selection
and insulation are prime considerations. Joints and seams must be airtight and
fastened securely and designed to remain so, even when operating at high
temperatures.
Adequate support must be designed into the layout of the ductwork to ensure
that the integrity of the seams and joints is maintained. The support must be
independent and separate from the heater and the ducting, to allow for free
movement during expansion and contraction. Where ducting passes through walls
or partitions sufficient clearance must be left, irrespective of any fire stop
requirement, to allow for expansion and contraction. Failure to adhere to
these latter two points can result in the generation and transmission of
excess noise.
Where ducting is installed in concrete flooring a permanent membrane must be
used to isolate the ducting from the corrosive effect of the alkaline salts
within the concrete.
Care should be taken to ensure that soft insulation ma- terial does not become
compressed and thereby lose its insulation effectiveness.
Overheat Protection Device
Overheat protection is fitted in case the air flow falls below the minimum
necessary for safe operation of the heater, which may be caused by failure of
the supply fan motor or belt failure, dirty filters or inlet damper failure.
If the air flow falls too low, the high limit will trip out and will require
manually resetting. If this happens on a regular basis it must be investigated
by a competent registered engineer as this could cause serious damage to the
heater.
WARNING If the heater has a Honeywell combined thermostat installed, then
the jumper link must be removed from the replacement thermostat.
Heat exchanger damage may be the result.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, in- jury, property
damage or product damage.
To reset the Jumo overheat the right hand side stat shown in Fig 2, remove the plastic cap (A) with a screw driver and lift the white lever (B).
Ensure that the fan and limit settings are as follows: Fan control set to 35 O C – Do not adjust Limit 20 O C above normal running temperature no greater than 100
Flue System
The flue system must be made to the following specifications:
- Mechanically robust.
- Resistant to internal and external corrosion.
- Non-combustible and durable under the conditions to which they are to be subjected.
- Stainless steel flue is recommended.
- Dinak flue is recommended
5.1 Design
When designing a flue system for the appliance the designer must consider the
following points:
- The flue gases exiting the appliance can be as great as 250 O C and as low as 60 O C on modulating burners.
- Prevention of condensation within the flue and the management of drainage from the flue; for example, the use of twin wall flue will minimise the condensation.
- Flue must be a type acceptable to current standards.
- Facilities should be made for the disconnection of the flue from the heater to aid servicing and inspection.
- This appliance does not require a draught diverter.
- It is a requirement to fit a 90 O Tee condensate piece is connected directly onto the heater spigot, from this point the flue must then rise vertically with nohorizontal runs of flue pipe or 90 O bends. If there is an unavoidable obstruction, then the use of 45 bends will be permitted. (Please contact Space-Ray if more than two 45 O bends are used).
- The flue should terminate in a freely exposed posi- tion and must be situated as to prevent the products of combustion entering the building via any opening.
- A Flue terminal must be fitted.
- The flue installation must be designed to the latest gas regulations and any local environmental standards.
- Where a flue passes through a combustible roof, ceiling or floor, the flue pipe should be surrounded with a metal sleeve, the size of which should be sufficient to provide a space not less than 25mm between the flue pipe and the sleeve when positioned.
Note! Flue connection sizes can be found in table 1
5.2 Flue arrangement
The Zephyr heaters are designed as a Type B23 forced draught heater were the
combustion air is taken from the room space the heater is installed in and
requires only a flue pipe exhausting to outdoors. All products of combustion
must be flued to outdoor atmosphere.
The heaters are designed to operate safely and efficiently with either a
horizontal or vertical flue system when installed according to the specific
requirements and instructions.
If the heater is replacing an existing heater, be sure that the flue is of the
correct size and that the existing flue is in good condition. A correctly
sized flue system is required for safe operation of the heater. For testing,
the flue pipe should include a sealable test point. Ideally the test point
should be at least 450mm away from the air heater flue connection socket.
However if a concentric flue is attached directly to the connection sockets
then the combustion should be tested through the flue outlet collar via a
drilled test point which must be securely plugged on completion. Follow the
flue pipe manufacturer’s installation instructions for making joints,
including connections to the air heater, for passing through a building
element and for support requirements.
Gasket sealed single wall seamless stainless steel flue pipes are required.
All joints must be sealed to prevent the products of combustion from leaking
into the building.
WARNING The products of combustion from the unit heater must be flued to
the outside of the building. A properly sized flue system is required for safe
operation of the unit heater. An improperly sized flue system can cause unsafe
conditions and/or create condensation. Failure to provide proper flueing
arrangements could result in death, serious injury and/or damage to property.
It is important to ensure that there is an adequate air supply at all times
for both combustion and heating requirements. Modern buildings involve greater
use of insulation, improved vapour barriers and weather proofing. These
practices mean that buildings are sealed much tighter than in the past. Proper
combustion air supply for a power vented Type B installation requires
ventilation of the heated space. Nat- ural infiltration of air may not be
adequate. Use of exhaust fans aggravates this situation. It is important to
ensure that there is adequate combustion air supply at all times
Reliance on doors and windows is not permitted. Always ensure that an adequate
inlet for fresh air for combustion is provided sized to suit the total
installation of any combustion apparatus.
The flue MUST be installed in accordance with national and local regulations.
Single wall flue pipe exposed to cold air or run through unheated areas should
be insulated. Where condensation is unavoidable, provision must be made for
the condensation to flow freely to a point to which it can be released, i.e. a
drain or gully. The condensation drain from the flue must be constructed from
non-corrodible material not less than 20 mm diameter. Copper or copper based
alloys must not be used for condensate drains. Vertical flue runs greater than
3m long will require a condensate tee c/w drain fitting between the flue
outlet of the heater and the vertical flue pipe. Alternatively, insulated flue
pipe should be considered.
Horizontal flue up to 150kW (max run is 3m plus one 90 elbow – condense tee is
not required) runs should be installed with a slight gradient of approximately
5 towards the terminal. Due consideration should be given to the possibility
of condensation from the flue freezing on any footpaths that pass below the
terminal. It is important to ensure that there is an adequate air supply at
all times for both combustion and heating requirements. Ensure that the air
combustion inlet opening at the appliance cannot be obstructed. An approved
flue terminal must be installed to provide an extraction effect under
virtually all wind conditions. The free area of outlet openings should be at
least twice the nominal area of the flue. Outlet openings should be provided
preferably all round, or at least on opposite sides. It is important for the
terminal of an individual open flue system to be located so that it is not
likely to be subjected to wind pressures which could restrict or reverse flow
of combustion products through the flue. The ideal position is above the
highest point on the roof.
It is essential that the terminal is positioned outside the building so that
it is freely exposed to any wind and is not shielded by any roof structure or
object to such a degree that they create undesirable pressure regions around
the terminal. The table below details the minimum flue heights for internally
and externally mounted units. The maximum flue height is 25m; if this is to be
exceeded please contact the manufacturer/distributor.

flues can be purchase from flue specialists.
Gas Installation
The installation must be purged and tested for soundness prior to
commissioning.
Always ensure that appropriate personal protective equipment is used.
The minimum inlet gas pressure should be 20mbar for natural gas.
A competent and/or qualified engineer is required to either install a new gas
meter to the service pipe or to check that the existing meter is adequate to
deal with the rate of gas supply required.
Type of Roof| Location not within 1.5m of a vertical surface on the roof|
Location within 1.5m of a vertical surface of a structure on the roof
---|---|---
On Ridge| Not on Ridge
Pitched| Pitch exceeding 45O| At or above roof level| 1m Above flue/roof
intersection| The base of the terminal to be 600mm above the level of the top
of the structure.
Pitch not exceeding 45O| 600mm Above flue/roof intersection
Flat| With parapet| Not applicable| 600mm Above flue/roof intersection+
Without parapet| 250mm Above flue/roof intersection
Table 3 Recommended flue roof terminal locations
- For example: a chimney stack dormer window; tank room; lift motor room; parapet, etc.
+ When the flue outlet is at a horizontal distance greater than 10 times the height of the parapet or structure, the terminal outlet height need be only 250mm above the roof.
WARNING When these units are installed, air for combustion is taken from the space in which it is installed. Do not restrict the combustion air intake. Ensure that an adequate clean air supply for combustion and ventilation is provided within the building in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations in force.
5.3 Flue terminal
A flue terminal (must be approved) needs to provide an extraction effect under virtually all wind conditions, the free area of outlet openings should be at least twice the nominal area of the flue. Outlet openings should be provided preferably all round, or at least on oppositsides.
Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with national standards so that the supply pressure, as stated in the technical data section will be achieved. It is the responsibility of the competent engineer to ensure that other relevant standards and codes of practice are complied with in the country of installation. Pipes of smaller size than the heater inlet gas connection must not be used. The complete installation must be tested for soundness as described in the country of installation. Support as piping with pipe hangers, metal strapping, or other suitable material.
Service pipework must terminate at an approved isolating valve and be adjacent to the position of the heater. The connection to the heater can be made by way of either an approved flexible coupling, or rigid connection. Threaded connections must comply with ISO288/1 of ISO 7/1, further information concerning the accepted practice in European countries is detailed in EN1020. The diameter of the pipework from the isolating valve to the burner connection must not be less than the diameter of the burner connection inlet. As far as gas burners are concerned, we suggest placing a leak detector near them, which will operate an electro valve that will stop the gas supply in case of any accidental leakage. The gas supply line should be installed by a qualified person, in compliance with all the relevant Laws, Regulations and Rules. Refer to the designer of the system.
Gas Supply
All Gas Pipework to the appliance should be installed in accordance with
current regulations, local and national codes and must be connected with an
acceptable gas isolation valve and union, so that the burner maybe re-moved to
aid servicing and inspection of the burner.
7.1 Size and Connection
The following considerations are to be considered:
Pipework smaller than the inlet gas connection should not be used.
- The gas supply pipe is adequately sized to carry correct volume of gas from the gas meter to the heater(s).
- The heat input and gas consumption for each heater can be found in table 1 to aid in the design of gas supply pipe work.
- All gas pipe work and electrical connections must be adequately supported and must not support any of the heaters weight or rely on the strength of the burner gas pipe work.
- Unless the heater is suspended or movement is apparent, the Zephyr must be connected with medium, heavy or copper pipe; otherwise the use of an approved flexible connection between the isolating valve and the heater can be used. We recommend that the flexible gas connector is one size bigger than the heater connection to reduce any pressure loss.
The minimum dynamic inlet gas pressure for natural gas is 17.5 mbar.
NOTE: Maximum inlet pressure is 50mbar. if this is exceeded then an
external regulator (by others) must be fitted.
IMPORTANT
The complete installation must be purged and tested for gas soundness in
accordance with local, national codes and a registered engineer.
Oil Installation/connection
Warning Prolonged exposure and contact with gas oil can result in the
natural oils being removed from the skin, sensitisation can result in
dermatitis. Always ensure that the appropriate personal protective equipment
is used.
8.1 Fuel supply
Warning Galvanised or plastic pipe work and fittings must not be used.
(See BS 5410 Part 1) The constraints of the application will, to a large
extent, determine whether it is preferable to use a single pipe gravity feed
system, or whether a two pipe pumped system is more appropriate. Where more
than one appliance is to share a common supply it will be necessary to use a
pressurised ring main system.
All pipework must be constructed and installed so that it does not permit the
ingress of air. The construction, size, and position of the oil storage tank
must take account of the current regulations, as well as suiting the
requirements of the installation.
CAUTION On pumped systems always check that the pump is correctly set up
prior to operation. Ensure that valves are open allowing a free flow of oil
through the system. In order to promote trouble free operating it is necessary
that the oil within the storage tank and oil line does not fall below the cold
filter plugging point (cfpp), in the UK and with class D fuel (also referred
to as gas oil). The critical temperature is -4 O C for this summer grade. The
cfpp critical temperature for the winter grade is 12 O C. If summer grade fuel
is stored for winter use in areas prone to severe frosts and low temperatures
it will be necessary to insulate or even heat the supply tank and pipe work.
Note The fuel supplier should be contacted prior to installation so that
any requirements concerning delivery, transport, storage and use can be
addressed before work commences. The inlet pump pressure must not exceed a
maximum of 0.4 bar, this is because beyond this point gas is liberated from
the oil.
8.2 Storage tank
An externally painted steel storage tank to BS 799 part 5 or a medium density
polyethylene oil tank OFTEC certified to OFS T-100 may be used. Local,
national, European and fire regulations must also be complied with and must
include:
- A fuel level gauge (not made from glass) a vent pipe with a diameter greater than that of the filler and featuring a weatherproof termination.
- A sludge valve.
- An outlet valve situated at the opposite end of the tank to the sludge valve.
- A filler pipe connection situated at the opposite end to the outlet valve.
The size of the storage tank must take account of the estimated consumption
and any quantity price breaks offered by the oil supplier. It is preferable to
install the tank outside, however, if this is not practicable and the tank
must be installed indoors advice must be sought about its positioning,
especially so far as fire regulations are concerned.
If a separate fire-resistant chamber cannot be provided for indoor
installations, a catchment pit with a capacity 10% greater than that of the
storage tank must be provided storage tanks can if necessary be sited on a
roof, but this is subject to special regulations as well as local authority
approval and compliance with fire regulations, reference to BS 5410 part 2 &
part 1 is strongly suggested. It is advisable to leave the tank unpainted on
the inside, but to paint the outside with a proprietary grade of anti-
corrosive paint.
WARNIN A galvanised or open topped tank is strictly not allowed. All oil
storage tanks require a bond.
The Control of Pollution Regulation (Oil Storage) 2001 should be consulted
prior to installation.
8.3 Single pipe system (gravity feed)
For installations where the oil tank is 200mm or more above the level of the
fuel pump the principle of gravity feed may be used. The draw off point for
the supply to the burner must not be positioned any lower than 100mm above the
bottom of the tank.
Where a return valve is fitted this must be tamper proof to prevent
inadvertent operation.
CAUTION If the valve is closed when the pump is running the oil pressure
can be increased sufficiently to cause damage to the seals within the pump.
The return oil should be discharged (preferably) through an elbow onto a tank
plate situated within the tank, this should be positioned so as not to
introduce air or air bubbles into the draw off pipe.
8.4 Two pipe system
This is used where the oil storage tank is lower than the pump.
Access for the fuel feed to the burner should be via a suitable tapping made
in the top of the tank, and the fuel feed pipe should extend to not less than
100mm above the bottom of the tank. A none return valve with a metal to metal
seat should be fitted, especially if the return pipework is terminated at a
level above the draw off tube. The non- return valve must be removable for
service and maintenance purposes, and the return pipe from the pump must
therefore be extended down into the tank to the same level as the suction
pipe. The presence of a tamper proof isolating valve fitted within the return
pipe is only required if there is a risk that oil will siphon out of the tank
if the return pipe is disconnected at the pump during maintenance or servicing
and if the non return valve has been omitted.
8.5 Pressurised ring main system
This system is used to supply a number of units from a common storage tank.
A booster pump is used to provide the pressure to push the oil around the ring
main and back to the tank.
Pressure reducing valves should be fitted on the delivery pipe to each heater
to ensure that the pressure at the burner pump is less than 6 psi.
CAUTION The internal by-pass plug must be removed from the burner pump
when used in a pressurised ring main application.
8.6 Pipework and fittings
Galvanised or plastic pipe work and fittings must not be used (See BS 5410
Part 1).
All joints must be sealed properly, if necessary, using PTFE tape or other
approved sealing media.
The pipework must be effectively sealed so as to prevent the ingress of air.
The fire check valve must be operated by way of a fusible link positioned so
that it is above the burner.
The pump suction should not exceed a maximum of 4 metres. Beyond this limit
gas is released from the oil. Oil lines must be completely airtight.
The return line should terminate within the il tank at the same level as the
suction line; in this case a non-return valve is not required. The return line
should terminate within the oil tank at the same level as the suction line; in
this case a non-return valve is not required. Should, however, the return
line terminate over the fuel level, a non-return valve is essential.
This solution, however, is less safe than the previous one, due to the
possibility of leakage in the valve. Priming the pump: start the burner and
await priming. Should lock-out prior to arrival of the fuel, wait at least 20
seconds before repeating the operation
Condensate drains
On models where larger turndowns (6:1) are required, there will be a condensation drain point fitted to the heater. This MUST have a trap fitted along with a drain both by others. Drain & pipework must be no smaller than:- up to model 150 = ¾”, models 180 and above =1” BSP.
The condensate pipe work must not be installed below 1” BSP. Do not use plastic condensate pipe and connections as the temperature of the condensate may be high at the outlet to the drain. Plastic pipework can only be used, at least 1500mm, after the trap. Condensate trap MUST be pre-filled. Check local and national regulations regarding the discharge of condensate.
Electrical installation/ connection
WARNING Always isolate from the mains electrical supply before commencing
workon the heater.
The electrical installation may only be carried out by an appropriately
qualified person in accordance with the current Rules and Regulations in
force. This appliance must be earthed. All wiring must be in accordance with
current IEE Regulations and all local regulation that apply. Zephyr heaters
are supplied for use on 415V 50Hz 3PH & 240v 50Hz 1PH supplies as standard.
Single phase is available on some models upon request. The electrical supply
must be as specified and suitable for the heater, and must be run within
conduit to a point adjacent to the heater, and be terminated to provide an
isolation point that will prevent remote or inadvertent activation. Cables,
conduit, and fittings that are used to make the connection between the
isolator and the heater must conform to the appropriate local and national
regulations. All heaters are supplied fused and prewired; all must be earthed.
The electric and controls terminations are located on the front of the Heater
housed in an interface panel. All heaters are compatible for interfacing with
building management systems and 0-10V DC is required as standard on modulating
heaters. A minimum of 1.5V is required for the heater to operate.
Check that the air heater is well earthed and that an earth leakage test is
carried out. Final connections for any additional external controls must be
completed on site, and must be carried out according to local and national
regulations. Separate user information is provided for the burner, and forms
part of the product information pack which accompanies every heater when
despatched.
Always ensure that the appropriate personal protective equipment is used.
Ensure that all cables and installers wiring are appropriately fixed and that
they do not touch the flue or combustion collector box. The electric panel is
pre-installed with burner, control and safety thermostat of the FAN-LIMIT
device connected.
Electrical connection should be carried out in the following order:-
- General power supply;
- Connections to the blown burner;
- Connections to the various external safety systems (fire dampers, fire protection, etc.).
Please note the following:
- Electrical connections must only be carried out by qualified engineers
- If confused, please contact manufacturer for further clarification.
- Install upstream of the unit a differential magneto thermal circuit breaker suitably sized according to the regulations in force.
- Always connect the earthing system, taking care to leave the earth wire slightly longer than the other wires, in the event that the wires are accidentally pulled, the latter is the last one to be removed.
- Get a qualified engineer to check that the section of the cables and the electrical systems are suitable for the maximum power absorbed by the unit indicated on the information plate.
- Respect polarity in the connection of the power supply (phase – neutral). In any case, make sure that the direction of rotation of the fans is correct.
- The unit must be connected to an efficient earthing system.
Ventilation
Where the heater is to be installed in a plant room, the heater requires the
plant room housing to have permanent air vents communicating directly with the
outside air, at a high level and at a low level. Where communication with the
outside air is possible only by means of high level air vents, ducting down to
floor level for the lower vent(s) should be used. Air vents should have
negligible resistance and must not be sited in any position where they are
likely to be easily blocked or flooded, or in any position adjacent to an
extraction system, which is carrying flammable vapour. Grilles or louvres
should be designed so that high velocity air streams do not occur within the
plant room. The ventilation should be installed to in accordance with local
and national codes.
11.1 Ventilation Requirements
The space in which the heater is situated must be adequately ventilated, see
below for the minimum ventilation free area at low and high levels. Low Level:
540cm² plus 4.5cm² per kW after 60kw. High Level: 270cm² plus 2.25cm² per kW
after 60kw
Heater Controls
As standard, each heater is supplied without controls although a time and
temperature controller is available as an option. Terminals 10 & 11 (heater
terminal strip) must be linked together, this is normally done in the
manufacturing proces. However, if modulating fan is required the link will
need removing and a 0-10V DC signal connecting to terminals 9 (0V) & terminal
11 (10V DC) – The fan will not operate unless one of the two options above has
been used.
In order to control the burner a 0 to 10V DC signal is required.
Minimum control must be time & temperature.
In addition to the burner, the following functions can be connected-
- Summer fan run
- Burner lock-out
Each heater can be used with most Building Management Systems.
If you require any further information or you have any special requirements, please do not hesitate to contact our Technical Department.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard
Use extreme caution while working on this appliance.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or electric shock.
Only competent engineer should carryout work on this appliance.
Commissioning
Commissioning MUST be carried out by a competent Gas Safe registered engineer. This section must be read in conjunction with the commissioning instructions given in the burner manual.
-
Visually check the full system to see if it is in accordance with this manual and to current/GAS SAFE legislation and IEE regulations and to this manual.
-
Check combustion air is adequate in plant room or surrounding area.
-
Check clearances around the heater are in accordance with those stated in section 3.4.1.
-
Check contactors, electrical wiring is correct and terminated tightly and fuse ratings are correct.
-
Ensure that the gas pipework is sized correctly and relative documents for pressure testing, soundness and purging are available. It is the responsibility of the commissioning engineer to check for soundness from the main inlet to the servicing stop tap on the inlet of the valve.
-
Ensure that the inlet gas pressure is no greater than 50mb static and no less than 17.5mb running.
-
Make sure that all dampers are set and diffuser outlets are open to give the correct air flow.
-
Check that there is an interlock with the supply fan and burner so that the burner cannot run without the supply fan e.g. air pressure switch across supply fan in series with the enable circuit between terminals 1 & 2. The supply fans MUST be set to run for 15 minutes after burner shutdown, on a shutdown condition. Terminals 1 & 2 are also used to wire thermostats and time switches in series to switch the burner on and off.
-
Terminals 7 & 8 are required for high /low operation (if fitted); when the circuit is made it is high and when it is broken it is low.
-
Ensure that the thermostat wired between terminals 1 & 2 is closed and turn the gas supply on to make the gas pressure switch and turn the commissioning stop tap off.
-
Switch the burner on. The burner should run through its cycle and after the ignition spark goes out, the burner should lockout on flame failure on the control box.
-
Before opening the main gas valve ensure the standing gas pressure is correct (between 20 & 50 mbar), the serivice gas pipe must be purged as per current regulations to the gas burner inlet before the burner is fired. A 0-10vdc signal generator must be connected between terminal 7 & 8, this will allow the burner to be commissioned at minimum and maximum rates during commissioning. At this point, check the start gas rate by firing the burner with 1.5V on the signal generator which should be no greater than 20% of the total output. This is preset in the factory and must be checked.
-
Burnertech Modulating Burner – Once the burner ignition rate has been checked and is correct the signal generator can be set to 10 vdc signal, the burner will now operate at 100% output. The burner must run for 20 minuntes before running temperatures and burner emissions checked, Typical flue gas readings are given below:- 4% to 5% CO O 2 2 9.5% to 10% CO Up to 50ppm (Typically, 20 ppm) Maximum flue stack temp – 250°C Please refer to the burner manual for adjustment
-
When satisfied with the gas settings, the CPI switch (if fitted) requires setting on, they are integral, which
are factory set. For further information please see the burner manual. -
Burnertech Modulating Burner – once high fire is correct the signal generator can be set to 1.5 vdc signal for low fire, the burner will now operate at 20% output. The burner must run for 20 minuntes before running temperatures and burner emissions checked, Typical flue gas readings are given below:- 4% to 5% CO O 2 9.5% to 10% CO Up to 50ppm (Typically, 20 ppm) Non-condensing mode above – 130°C Condensing – low fire flue stack temp – 50°C 2 Please refer to the burner manual for adjustment
-
High/Low burners – The high and low air pressure switch must be set after the damper has been locked off. The low air pressure switch is set by turning it up until it locks out and then moving it back 1.2mb on the pressure switch. Set the high air pressure switch to 1.2mb above the lockout pressure.
-
The low gas pressure switch (if fitted) will be preset in the factory to 10mb.
-
Check the strength of the flame sensing device by removing the link on the burner, which connects the flame probe to the control box. Connect a multi-meter in series to give reading in uA. The signal strength should be a least 70uA for U.V. and 6uA on flame rectification.
-
After running the unit for a period of one hour, take a running temperature from the fan limit side of the thermostat. Set the over-heat to 20°C above the running temperature. The supply fans should be shut down once, when the burner is running to try the overheat device and the fans must be switched on as soon as the unit locks out on overheat.
-
All gas nipples must be replaced and checked for tightness and checked with leak detection fluid.
-
A leak detection test is to be carried out with leak detection fluid and an electronic leak detector on the gas train whilst the burner is running to see if there are any leaks in the burner gas train. A soundness test is to be carried our on all gas work.
-
Make a full record of combustion data on the commissioning sheet provided. The commissioning sheet should include the following:
• Model and Serial Numbers.
• Heater running temperature and overheat settings.
• Full thermal input.
• Governor pressure setting (pilot for start gas and main for full fire).
• Gas flow rates for full fire.
• Burner damper setting and pressure switch set- tings.
• Flame signal strength on full fire.
• Exhaust gas O 2 , CO 2 , CO and temperature.
After setting all air pressure switches and valves etc, mark the position or
lock off if possible.
Typical flue gas readings are given below:O2 4% to 5% CO 9.5% to 10%
CO Up to 100ppm (Typically, 20 ppm) Flue stack temp Up to 250°C 2
Note: You must not electrically isolate the heater when in full fire,
always wait until the burner stops and the supply fan over runs to dissipate
the heat before electrically isolating.
For summer ventilation switch on/off switch to off and set fan switch from
auto to manual.
Servicing
IMPORTANT! – SERVICING MUST ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A COMPETENT REGISTERED
ENGINEER (GASSAFE) BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY WORK ON THE UNIT SEE
THAT THE ISOLATING SWITCH IS IN THE ‘OFF’ POSITION AND THE GAS SUPPLY IS SHUT
OFF.
ONLY PARTS SUPPLIED OR RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE USED.
INFORMATION IS FOR GUIDANCE OF QUALIFIED SERVICE ENGINEERS ONLY
Note: Heater MUST be fully serviced at least once a year and
recommissioned. In dirty or dusty environments it may be nessecary to increase
the number of times the heater is serviced to maximise performance and
efficiency from the heater.
If the flue gas passages in the heat exchanger, the combustion chamber, or in
the flue chamber are blocked, the heater can overheat causing the unit to shut
down on the overheat thermostat.
14.1 To clean the Heat exchanger
The heat exchanger must be cleaned from the front and rear of the appliance
after first removing the following items:
-
The burner assembly
Burner Removal (With gas and electrical supply isolated):
1. Disconnect the electrical supply to the burner by removing the multi-pin plug from the socket on the Heater interface panel.
2. Disconnect gas valve plugs.
3. Unscrew gas union assembly at inlet to gas train and at entry into burner mounting flange and remove gas train assembly.
4. Remove four fixing screws holding burner to heater front and lift away burner.
5. Fully service the heat exchanger in the following manner and replace burner electrodes, if required: -
Remove the fan limit thermostat
-
Remove the front outer case panel
-
Remove and support the flue system
-
Remove Rear panel
-
Remove the heat exchanger cover plate, front and rear.
-
Brush any deposits from all of the flue ways using a brush. Also brush down the heat exchanger tubes.
-
Remove any soot from the bottom of the combustion chamber with a vacuum cleaner.
-
Inspect soundness of combustion chamber/ heat exchanger.
-
Replace all items in reverse order.
NOTE: Fit new gasket or seal to gas exchanger box, cleaning door where
necessary.
Note: Service external units as per our standard internal procedures. In
extreme weather conditions, always ensure any electrical connections are
protectedand do not allow water ingress.
14.2 Wet Conditions
If it is found that the area in which the heater is installed has become
wet/flooded, the heater must be electrically isolated immediately and an
investigation to find out if any water has penetrated into the heater
controls. If so, ensure they are dried out properly before reinstalling the
electric supply.
14.3 Burner Maintenance
Refer to the Burner Supplement supplied with the heate .
14.4 Servicing Heat Exchanger
Heat Exchanger is of multi-tube construction with removable access, clean
outdoors at either end. Access plates are secured by brass nuts, sandwiching
glass wool webbing type gasket material between the heat exchanger flange and
the access doors. When removing the doors it is important to inspect the
gasket material and replace if necessary.
It is important that the tubes should be inspected and swept out if necessary,
replacing Gasket Material – the material is of glass wool webbing 25mm x 3mm
thick in strip form. The method of securing it is to have strips overlapping,
and to cut through both surfaces with a sharp knife to give an exact join.
Self adhesive webbing is easier to secure.
14.5 Recommended intervals
14.5.1 Weekly check
- Check that there are no apparent leaks.
- Clean air filters if fitted, if of the washable type, or replace where necessary.
14.5.2 Quarterly check
As weekly check, and also:
- Check the tension of the main fan belt(s) if fitted.
- Check the flue for condensation.
- Remove the Burner Inner Assembly – clean and replace.
14.5.3 Annual Inspection
- Clean heat exchanger surface.
- Inspect and align fan and motor pulleys (if fitted)
- Check the tightness of the motor bolts.
- Adjust fan belts for tension (if fitted)
- Inspect and adjust electrical connections.
- Check all wiring and tube connections.
- Remove the burner inner assembly – clean and replace.
- Start the Heater and check CO readings, stack tem perature efficiency and CO level.
- Check the combustion air supply and check the smoke reading.
14.6 Overheat/Limit control
The limit control provides protection for the heater, should the temperature
rise above a safe level. If an overheat condition occurs, the limit control
will shut down the burner and hold it off until the manual reset button is
pressed.
NOTE: If the limit requires re-setting more than once after first re-set,
then a competent engineer must be called to investigate further.
Fan setting = 35°C ON (If required) = 25°C OFF High Limit = 20°C above normal
running temperature no greater than 100°C.
Important: When integrated with building management system, the fan will
be operated via their controls and all interlocks must be fitted to ensure the
burner cannot start until the supply fan is running. On burner shutdown the
supply fan overrun will continue running for 10 to 15 minutes to dissipate
residual heat.
14.7 Fan control (if used)
The burner should start it’s safety sequence and then fire up. When the heater
achieves 35°C the supply fan will cut in and the heater is up and running.
When the space is up to temperature the burner will stop and the supply fan(s)
will run on until the fan control reaches 25°C, then the supply fan will shut
down. The heater will then switch on and off as required via the day
thermostat and time clock. If the heater fails to start, check burner lockout
and high limit resets as referred to in fault findings, if any further
investigation is required or the heater repeatedly locks out then a Gas Safe
registered engineer must be called to investigate further.
Note: You must not electrically isolate the heater when in full fire,
always wait until the burner stops and the supply fan over runs to dissipate
the heat before electrically isolating.
For summer ventilation switch on/off switch to off and set fan switch from
auto to manual.
14.8 Cleaning the heater
The heater can be cleaned externally using a damp cloth with a light detergent
on the outer panel only, away from all of the electrics. No substance can be
used that will cause harm to the surface of the metal, or remove paint etc.
Note: Water must not be used on unpainted galvanised finished surfaces.
14.9 Fan Assembly
Inspect the fan blades to see they are not damaged and that there is no
excessive building up of deposits that could give an imbalance via access
panel on the side of the heater. If necessary, clean the fan blades.
The main fan bearings are permanently sealed and do not require lubrication.
Check belts (if fitted) for signs of wear and replace if required.
14.10 Gas control valve
No regular maintenance is required on these devices. Please refer to section
16 for removal or replacement of parts.
WARNING! Replace faulty gas valve with genuine manufacturer recommended
replacement parts; failure to do so could result in death, injury and damage
to property.
Note! Check all gas pipes and joints to ensure there are no cracks or gas
leaks. Any cracks in the pipe work or joint must be repaired.
Removal and Replacement Parts
Note! Please refer also to the burner supplement supplied with this
Manual.

User Instructions
WARNING If you smell gas:
- Open all windows and door.
- DO NOT try to light any appliance.
- DO NOT use electrical switches.
- DO NOT use any telephone in your building.
- Leave the building.
- Immediately call your local gas supplier after leaving the building; follow the gas supplier’s instructions
- If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire brigade.
Once the controls have been fully installed and proved with the Heater (all
interlocks proved etc), the supply air has been balanced and only when the
Heater has been fully commissioned by a qualified registered engineer (Gas
Safe), you are now able to use your Heater safely.
Easy Lighting and Shutting Off Instructions Burner Start up
- Ensure Burner and Heater On/Off Switch is on.
- Fan switch is in auto position. If the heater is controlled via a BMS then the supply fan should be running before the burner can start.
- Make sure the time clock and thermostats are calling for heat or that the BMS is giving enable signal to terminals 1 & 2 in our interface panel.
Burner Shut down
- Ensure Burner and Heater On/Off Switch is off.
- Fan switch is in auto position. The fans should run on for at least 10 min or till the fan limit is below 25ºc to cool heat exchanger.
- Make sure the time clock and thermostats are not calling for heat or that the BMS is not giving enable signal to terminals 1 & 2 in our interface panel.
WARNING In Emergency only! Use electrical isolator and the gas isolation
valve to isolate the appliance.
Do not use electrical isolator to switch this appliance off in normal use, as
the fan is required to run on to cool the heat exchanger failure to do so will
cause damage to this appliance.
Simple Fault Finding
- Some possible reasons for the heater not operat- ing are:
- Gas supply not turned ON.
- Electrical Supply not turned ON.
- The time and/or Thermostats may not be ON.
- The Limit stat may have operated due to an interruption of electrical supply or fault with the distribution fan.
WARNING If the limit thermostats persistently operate, there is a fault
which must be investigated by a qualified engineer registered with Gas Safe.
This Heater should not be electrically isolated during normal operation; doing
so without a fan run on for 10 min will cause serious damage to the heater.
Simple Fault Finding (burner faults)
If the burner fails to ignition for any reason, it will go to lockout. This
will be indicated by the red light on the burner or digitally shown on a
display screen. Press in and release the lockout reset button; call a
registered engineer if this does not rectify the problem. Lockout should not
occur during normal operation of the heater and indicates there is a fault
condition which must be corrected.
WARNIN Do not store or use petrol or other flammable vapours and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Some objects will catch fire or explode when placed close to the heater.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, injury or property
damage.
