For long term protection against<br />
corrosion and scale, after flushing, it is<br />
recommended that an inhibitor such as<br />
Betzdearborn's Sentinel X100 or Fernox<br />
MB-1 is dosed in accordance with the<br />
guidelines given in BS 7593:1992.<br />
Failure to implement these guidelines<br />
will invalidate the warranty.<br />
We recommend that both antifreeze<br />
and corrosion inhibitor be used in the<br />
primary water system.<br />
4.8 Heating System Design<br />
Considerations<br />
To achieve the maximum efficiency<br />
possible from the <strong>Grant</strong> VORTEX Pro<br />
boiler, the heating system should be<br />
designed to the following parameters:<br />
Radiators:-<br />
• Flow temperature 70°C<br />
• Return temperature 50°C<br />
• Differential 20°C<br />
Underfloor:-<br />
• Flow temperature 50°C<br />
• Return temperature 40°C<br />
• Differential 10°C<br />
Size radiators with a mean water<br />
temperature of 60°C.<br />
Design system controls with programmable<br />
room thermostats or use weather<br />
compensating controls to maintain return<br />
temperatures below 55°C.<br />
!<br />
NOTE<br />
The boiler should not be allowed to<br />
operate with return temperatures of<br />
less than 40°C when the system is up<br />
to operating temperature.<br />
The use of a pipe thermostat is<br />
recommended to control the return<br />
temperature when using weather<br />
compensating controls.<br />
Refer to Section 2.5 for the size and type<br />
of the connections and Section 5 for the<br />
position of the connections.<br />
4.9 Underfloor Heating Systems<br />
In underfloor systems it is essential<br />
that the return temperature must be<br />
maintained above 40°C to prevent<br />
internal corrosion of the boiler water<br />
jacket.<br />
4.10 Pipework Materials<br />
<strong>Grant</strong> boilers are compatible with both<br />
copper and plastic pipe. Where plastic<br />
pipe is used it must be of the oxygen<br />
barrier type and be of the correct<br />
class (to BS 7291:Part 1:2001) for the<br />
application concerned.<br />
!<br />
WARNING<br />
The first metre of pipework connected<br />
to both the heating flow and return<br />
connections of the boiler must be<br />
made in copper on all types of system<br />
- sealed or open-vented.<br />
4.11 Sealed Systems<br />
If plastic pipe is to be used, the installer<br />
must check with the plastic pipe<br />
manufacturer that the pipe to be used<br />
is suitable for the temperature and<br />
pressures concerned.<br />
Plastic pipe must be Class S to<br />
BS 7291: Part 1:2001.<br />
! NOTE<br />
WARNING<br />
!<br />
The system must incorporate a lowpressure<br />
switch to shut off power to<br />
the boiler if the system pressure drops<br />
below 0.2 bar. A suitable low pressure<br />
switch kit is available to purchase<br />
from <strong>Grant</strong> <strong>UK</strong>, Part No. MPCBS 63.<br />
4.12 Underfloor Pipework<br />
Plastic pipe may be used on Underfloor<br />
systems where the plastic pipe is fitted<br />
after the thermostatic mixing valve.<br />
Copper tube must be used for at least<br />
the first metre of flow and return primary<br />
pipework between the boiler and the<br />
underfloor mixing/blending valves.<br />
