Argo AT1226 Manual de instalación descargar pdf (Pagina 3)

INTRODUCTION

This manual is intended to familiarize the installer

and user of the Electric Hydronic Block with its

installation, operation and maintenance so as to

assure its normal trouble free operation.

Argo electric boilers are designed and manufactured

with quality components for maximum life and

durability and require minimum service. To insure

a satisfactory installation it is imperative that the

instructions be followed carefully before operating

the heating system. Failure to do so may result in

breach of warranty.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Electric Hydronic Block is a heating device that

converts electrical energy to heat energy through

the medium of water. The simplied theory of this

conversion is as follows:

Electrical Energy x Conversion Factor = Energy

– Or –

Kilowatts Of Electricity Used Per Hour x 3412 = British

Thermal Units (Btuh) Available Per Hour For Heating.

This information is the basis used to establish Elec-

tric Hydronic Block ratings (See Table 1 on page 4).

Since the conversion process requires no combus-

tion, the boiler operates with the highest possible

efciency.

The Electric Hydronic Block is constructed with

a cast iron boiler that conforms to the American

Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler &

Pressure Vessel Code. The interior design allows

just enough water to be present for proper heating

element operation - no excess water is stored which

would cause undersirable thermal losses and longer

recovery times.

The control system is assembled in a modular pack-

age thus keeping the overall size and weight of the

Electric Hydronic Block to a minimum. The construc-

tion of the entire Electric Hydronic Block conforms to

Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Standards

for Safety for Electric Boilers.

WARNINGS

WARNING

1. BOILER SIZING IS CRUCIAL. The maximum

hourly heat loss for each heated space should

be calculated in accordance with the proce-

dures describes in The Hydronics Institute

(I=B=R) manual H-22 (Heat Loss Calculation

Guide), or by any other method which is suit-

able for local conditions, provided the results

are in substantial agreement. Select the ap-

propriate boiler based on accurate heat loss

calculation. DO NOT OVERSIZE THE BOILER,

AS SIZING IS CRITICAL FOR IN-FLOOR RADI-

ANT HEAT APPLICATIONS.

2. Keep boiler area clear and free from combus-

tible materials, gasoline and other ammable

vapors and liquids.

3. DO NOT obstruct air openings to the boiler

room.

4. Modication, substitution or elimination

of factory equipped, supplied or specied

components may result in property damage,

personal injury or the loss of life.

5. TO THE OWNER: Installation and service of

this boiler must be performed by a qualied

installer.

6. TO THE INSTALLER: Leave all instructions

with the boiler for future reference.

7. When this product is installed in the Com-

monwealth of Massachusetts the installation

must be performed by a licensed plumber or

licensed gas tter.*

* In other areas, consult your local codes.

WARNING

All installations of boilers should be done

only by a qualied expert and in accordance

with the appropriate Argo manual. Installing

a boiler or any other electric appliance with

improper methods or materials may result in

serious injury or death due to re.
