APPLIANCE DESCRIPTION
Systems ECOVAPOR are automatically-operated appliances for high pressure (12 bar) steam production from 350 to 3000 kg/h.
The horizontal combustion chamber is of the reverse flame type and the tube bundle is complete with helical turbulators.
The patented combustion system, with pre-mixing and flue gas recirculation, only for natural gas (CH4), allowing to obtain high
efficiency levels, low emissions and a thermal power modulation from 1 to 10, is integrated inside the front door and in the rear
smokebox.
The generator body is thermally insulated through a high-density mineral wool mattress protected by stainless steel panels to
minimise losses.
They use a single control panel where the whole electric wiring of the appliance merges, and including the touch-screen
operator's panel, the burner managing control unit, with display, the burner motor inverter, controls of several devices and an air-
conditioning system to ensure a temperature suitable to the devices.
The steam generating system ECOVAPOR has been designed for the installation inside closed heating plant rooms with an
ambient temperature below 50 °C; it rests on a support made of carbon steel section bars ensuring its stability.

They are equipped with water side inspection opening (flanged hatch).

SAFETY COMPONENT CALIBRATIONS


The components listed below are adjusted at the indicated pressure values
–– safety valve: 12 bar (factory sealed - do not modify)
–– safety pressure switch: 11 bar (factory sealed - do not modify)
–– pressure transducer: 10 bar (adjust during installation, if necessary).

COMPONENTS
The steam generating systems ECOVAPOR feature a series of components that can be divided into:
–– Safety components (safety valves, safety level switches, safety pressure switch).
–– Indicators (level indicator, manometer, flame light).
–– Adjustment components (level adjusters, pressure switches, pressure transducers).
–– Feed components (centrifugal pump).
–– Operation components (shut-off valves, drain valve).

Hereinafter are the descriptions of the operation of each single component.

PRESSURE GAUGE
The manometer indicates the reached steam pressure value. The value of the design pressure is shown in red on the graduated
scale.
The manometer is fitted onto a three-way valve allowing to carry out the following operations:
–– Communication between generator and pressure gauge (normal operating position).
–– Communication between pressure gauge and the outside (position needed to purge the siphon).
–– Communication between generator, pressure gauge and sample pressure gauge (position needed for pressure gauge
comparison).

SAFETY VALVES
The safety valves are able to maintain the pressure in the generator to the design pressure (save temporary peaks of 10% max of
the max PS of the whole) even if all other pressure control devices (pressure switches and transmitters) are out of use.
These valves are regulated by specific national and international standards, therefore they are sized, tested, installed and maintained
in compliance with the applicable regulations and the contents of this manual.
The use and maintenance manual is supplied with the safety valves.

IMPORTANT
m Before starting the generator, remove the steel wire used to lock the lever during transportation. Make sure that the
lifting lever is free to move.
The safety valves have been designed and manufactured to operate without lubrication; simply keep them clean and
in good working order.

16 General information
The use and maintenance manual is supplied with the safety valves.
In case of conveyed drain, blow the conveyor pipe so as to compensate the reaction force generating upon fluid drainage (refer
to the valve use manual supplied with the appliance).
Make one or more draining holes in the conveying pipe to drain any condensate.
Drain must take place in the atmosphere, direct the valve so as not to harm people or damage property.

NOTE: Clamp at no more than 1 m Typical suggested diagram

IMPORTANT
m The operation of the safety valves is affected by the load losses occurring in the drain conveyor pipe, if any, during
their opening. The load losses inside safety valve drain conveyor pipe must be equal to 0.The nominal diameter of the
drain pipe must be greater than or equal to the size of the outlet fitting of the safety valve. A diameter ≥ 1.5 DN (PSV)
is recommended.

SAFETY PRESSURE SWITCH


The safety pressure switch detects the steam generator pressure and is activated in case of steam pressure controller failure
(regulation pressure switch or pressure transducer) by permanently stopping the burner. The burner will be switched on again
only after the steam pressure value has decreased under the calibration pressure value of the safety pressure switch and the
control panel has been manually reset. For further details, refer to the manual of the supplied component.

IMPORTANT
m The safety pressure switch is calibrated at 11 barg and is sealed.

IT IS FORBIDDEN
d Modify the adjustment of the safety pressure switch.

General information 17
PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
The 0 - 16 bar (4 - 20 ma) pressure transducer detects the steam pressure inside the generator and converts it into a current value,
then transmits it to the control panel supervising generator operation.

IMPORTANT
m The technical specifications of this device are available in the manual supplied with it.

CAPACITIVE PROBE
The capacitive probe, combined with the pre-amplifier, has been designed for the adjustment or ON-OFF control of the conductive
liquid level. It can also be used with one or more control units/transducers to provide, besides the control, also any level and/or
outlet alarms of a BMS supervision system.

The pre-amplifier is finger screwed on probe upper end, and can be easily removed without affecting the operation of the probe.

Pre-amplifier
The pre-amplifier is a current loop level transducer to be used in combination with the capacitive probes. It generates a 4 – 20 mA
output signal, which is proportional to the water level present inside tank or generator.
It features two keys and a two-colour (red and green) light signal indicator to be used during commissioning. The device consists
of an austenitic stainless steel tubular body screwed on the top of the capacitive probe, and features a DIN 43650 connection head
and a Pg 11 cable gland. Do not replace the cable gland with another one not of the Pg 11 type.

Probe
The capacitive probe is a metal bar with a special coating ensuring a complete isolation from the liquid where it is immersed. It
measures the capacity of a tank through the capacity variation, which is directly proportional to the level variation. The capacity
value is measured by the pre-amplifier and transmitted to a control unit or to a transducer as a direct current signal. Controls
and settings are on the control unit. The pre-amplifier sensitivity is defined based on the immersed length of the probe, and the
relevant wiring diagrams are included in the related installation and maintenance instructions.

18 General information
2 Combustion system

DESCRIPTION
The steam generating system ECOVAPOR is equipped with a patented combustion system with premixing and external
recirculation, integrated into the boiler, with vector flame development, characterised by the presence of a suction fan in the rear
part. Therefore, the mixing-combustion process occurs under depression, preventing any possible leakages and further increasing
the safety level. More specifically, the combustion system consists of the following components.

AIR/GAS MIXING SYSTEM


It is fitted inside the generator system, with no moving parts subject to wear, containing:
–– system for pre-heated air suction through the boiler body and door holes to increase the system energy efficiency
–– gas supply line consisting of gas train and flexible supply duct. The gas train features a combined pneumatic gas valve for
adjustment and safety operations with continuous modulation. Complete with filter, minimum pressure switch and tightness
control pressure switch
–– air filter, contributing to the cleaning and additional air pre-heating
–– cone; the sucked air binds to the gas inside the cone, keeping the mixing ratio within the limits of a good combustion.

COMBUSTION HEAD
Patented, with low emissions and wide modulation range, containing:
–– stainless steel cylinder body, resistant to corrosion and high temperatures
–– metal braid cylinder internal coating, made of patented refractory stainless steel metal fibre
–– electrode ignition system specifically designed to reduce the effects of deformation due to high temperature
–– flame detection with ionisation probe.

In sizes from 1700 to 3000, burner is ignited by the flame.


Burner start-up is allowed by an ignition pilot flame, basically consisting of a gas supply tube, an ignition electrode and an
ionisation electrode.
Once the control device enables the start-up, the electrode sets off a spark, the pilot flame gas valves open and allow the ignition
of the pilot flame which, in the second phase, ignites burner main flame.
After a set time, the control device will turn the pilot flame off.

FLUE GAS SUCTION


It is integrated into the rear chamber, composed of a centrifugal fan with AISI 316L backward-curved blade impeller.

Combustion system 19
SAFETY AND CONTROL SYSTEMS
For the correct operation of the combustion system through:
–– safety pressure switch on the air side to stop the combustion in case of fan abnormal operation
–– combustion management system consisting of a flame electronic supervisor, interconnected with the steam production
control system.

BURNER MODULATION STRATEGY
The burner is of the modulating type with PID (Proportional - Integral - Derivative) control.
The burner starts when the measured steam pressure is under the setpoint value shown in the operator panel of the control
panel, less the ignition differential, while it stops when the measured steam pressure reaches the setpoint value plus the turning
off differential.
The modulation occurs within the "modulation range", which is the sum of the "low modulation range" and the "high modulation
range".
The PID system is optimised to keep the pressure close to the “setpoint” value.
Above the "high modulation range" the burner will be immediately set to the minimum.
Under the "low modulation range" the burner will be immediately set to the maximum.

The sampling frequency is increased close to the upper and lower limits of the "modulation range" and converts the calculated
power value into a 4-20 mA analogue signal.

SYSTEM LOGICS ECOVAPOR IN CASE OF NO FLAME
Hereinafter is the description of the logics that the System ECOVAPOR executes if the burner flame, due to a failure, does not turn
on or if the flame is not detected upon ignition, or if it turns off during operation.

FAILURE UPON IGNITION


If the burner is not able to turn on the flame, the system closes the pneumatic gas valve and repeats the ignition phase twice
(each attempt is preceded by a leak test of the gas valve). If the System cannot detect the flame after the third attempt, it shuts
off the burner. The flashing error message “Loc.c 2” and “Loc.d 1” appears on the equipment display (1), inside the control panel.

FAILURE DURING STANDARD OPERATION


If the flame turns off during operation, the System closes the pneumatic gas valve and shuts off the burner, with relevant indication
on the control panel display. The flashing error message “Loc.c 7” and “Loc.d 0” appears on the control unit display (1), inside the
control panel.
To restore operation, press key (RESET), positioned on panel front side, several times.

IMPORTANT
m The list of all possible burner failures is included in the specific chapter at the end of this manual.

PRELIMINARY ACTIVITIES TO BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE THE "FIRST" COMMISSIONING


IMPORTANT
m Before feeding the steam generating system, it is recommended to perform a "Boiling out" with consequent
passivation, in order to remove any machining residues. Taking into account the high risk resulting from wrong
chemical treatments, the operation must be carried out by Qualified Personnel.

The ECOVAPOR/system is fed by means of a multi-stage centrifugal pump. Water must reach pump suction with quite a high head
in order to avoid possible cavitation phenomena.
The minimum temperature of sucked water must be higher than 60 °C in order to favour oxygen elimination that, in any case,
must be completely eliminated with suitable chemical agents. In addition, if water temperature is >60°C the risk of thermal shock
inside the generator will be reduced.
The height of installation of the feed reservoir depends on the water temperature inside deaerator/feed reservoir, on the structure
of the connecting pipe between deaerator/reservoir and pump and on the characteristics of the pump (refer to the pump manual).

ATTENTION
a The oxygen dissolved in water causes corrosion inside boiler. Refer to the maximum allowed values specified in the
specific section of this manual.
Follow the table below to avoid pump cavitation problems.

Maximum pump suction temperature is 120 °C.

ATTENTION
m –– Avoid using feed water at a temperature below 60°C because rich of dissolved oxygen, thus such to cause corrosion.
–– Before starting the feed pump(s), operate the bleed valve and eliminate all the air present inside the pipe.

WATER CHARACTERISTICS
The values in the following tables are taken from tables 5.1 and 5.2 of EN 12953-10 (requirements for water delivery and water
inside generator).
Even for the generators not included in the mentioned standard, it is nevertheless necessary to adopt at least the indicated limits
and consult specialised companies to select the type of treatment to be carried out based on a comprehensive analysis of the
available water.

Water delivery - Limit values (at inlet)


CHARACTERISTICS u.m. Steam generator water with pressure up to 20 bar
Appearance Clear, limpid, without foam or suspended solids
Direct conductivity at 25°C μS/cm See table values "Operating water - threshold values"
pH at 25 °C [a] --- > 9,2 [b]
Total hardness (Ca+Mg) mmol/l < 0,01 [c]
Iron (Fe) mg/l < 0,3
Copper (Cu) mg/l < 0,05
Silica (SiO2) mg/l See the "Maximum acceptable silica content in the generator water up to 20 bar pressures" table
Oxygen (O2 ) mg/l < 0,05 [d]
Oily substances mg/l <1
Concentration of organic substances - See note [e]

[a]
With copper alloys in the system the pH value must be kept within 8.7 and 9.2.
[b]
With a softened water pH value > 7.0, the value of the generator water pH should be provided based on the chart “Operating
water - limit values”.
[c]
At operating pressure <1 bar, a maximum total hardness of 0.05 mmol/l must be acceptable.
[d]
Instead of respecting this value with intermittent operation or operation without deaerator, in case of agents forming the film
and/or excess of oxygen, the additive must be used.
[e]
The organic substances are generally a mixture of several different compounds. The composition of these mixtures and the
behaviour of their single components at the operating conditions of the steam generating system are difficult to predict. The
organic substances can be decomposed to form carbonic acid or other acid decomposition products that increase the acid
conductivity and cause corrosion and deposits. They can also lead to the formation of foam and/or to the production of steam
with suspended water that has to be minimised as much as possible.

Maximum acceptable silica content in the generator water up to 20 bar pressures


Alkalinity Silica
0,5 mmol/l 80 mg/l
5 mmol/l 105 mg/l
10 mmol/l 135 mg/l
15 mmol/l 160 mg/l

Note
These values apply supposing the presence of a thermal deaerator. If no deaerator is present, the temperature of the water
contained inside the reservoir must be increased to at least 80 °C in order to reduce the content of dissolved gases (O2 and CO2).
In any case, it is recommended to use chemical conditioners to completely deoxygenate the water delivery and to minimise the
corrosive effects of CO2.

5.2 Operating water - threshold values

[a]
With a superheater consider as maximum value 50% of the value indicated as maximum.
[b]
Basic pH adjustment by injecting NaPO4, further injection of NaOH only if the pH value is < 10.
[c]
If the acid conductivity of the generator feed water is < 0.2 μS/cm, and its concentration of Na + K is <0.01 mg/l, the injection
of phosphate is not required. It can be applied under AVT conditions (treatment with volatile chemicals, feed water pH ≥ 9.2 and
generator water pH ≥ 8), in this case the conductivity of the generator water is < 5 μS/cm.
[d]
If treatment with coordinated phosphate is used, considering all other values, higher concentrations of PO4 are acceptable.
[e]
The organic substances are generally a mixture of several different compounds. The composition of these mixtures and the
behaviour of their single components at the generator operating conditions are difficult to predict. The organic substances can be
decomposed to form carbonic acid or other acid decomposition products that increase the acid conductivity and cause corrosion
and deposits. They can also lead to the formation of foam and/or to the production of steam with suspended water that has to be
minimised as much as possible.

FREQUENCY OF THE ANALYSES


The analyses have to be carried out at the frequency specified in the table present inside the periodical checks paragraph. It is
nevertheless recommended to check the pH, total hardness and alkalinity values of the water delivery and of the operating water.
It is good practice, mainly under variable operating conditions, to make a monthly complete analysis of a significant sample of
water delivery and operating water. In addition, it is good practice to visually inspect the possible presence of highly polluting
oily substances inside condensate return lines (reduction of the evaporation on the water surface inside generator due to a layer
of oil).

WATER FEEDING PROCEDURE


For generator ECOVAPOR water feeding, proceed as follows:
–– open the water delivery shut-off valves.
–– completely bleed the water delivery pipe to the feed pump by operating on the bleed valve
–– power the system by setting the plant room panel main switch and the Control Panel main switch to “ON”.

LEVEL PROBE POSITIONING


The generator ECOVAPOR is supplied with a pre-calibration (positioning) of the probe pack according to the diagram shown.
Pump must be started (ON) when the water level is 60 mm above the minimum level, which can be seen on the level indicator,
while pump will turn off (OFF) when the level is 90 mm above the minimum level.
The optimal operating level is thus approx. 75 mm above the minimum level (centred between pump ON and OFF).

The commissioning of generator ECOVAPOR MUST be carried out by an Authorised Technical Service Centre after the following
preliminary checks:
–– check for the presence and interconnection of all the components described in the manual
–– check that the electric, hydraulic and pneumatic connections have been correctly carried out and in compliance with this
manual’s provisions
–– check that all fittings are fully tightened
–– check that water filling has been carried out
–– close drain valves, steam outlet and level indicator drain
–– open the level shut-off and feed valves (upstream and downstream the water pump)
–– check that turbulators have been correctly inserted inside the flue gas pipes and properly close the door
–– check that fuel supply to burner gas train can ensure a constant pressure inside the flame modulation range and that, in any
case, ranges between 20 and 50 mbar. A vibration-damping joint must be positioned between the fuel supply network and
the gas train.

FIRST START-UP
The following devices of generator ECOVAPOR are pre-set and pre-calibrated:
–– inverter (the device is present inside the control panel and is supplied already set)
–– burner managing board (pre-calibrated, the minimum (P1), start (P0) and maximum (P9) speeds can be edited)
–– control panel, set upon testing as for:
-- number of pumps
-- presence of sludge blowdown

First commissioning 53
-- language
-- date and time
-- burner management setup
–– steam safety pressure switch
–– air pressure switch (1 mbar)
–– gas valve pressure switch for leak check (10 mbar)
–– gas valve pressure switch for grid gas minimum pressure (10 mbar)
–– steam safety valve(s) already calibrated and sealed at the maximum boiler pressure (12 barg)
–– capacitive level probe
–– minimum safety level probes
–– gas valve minimum flow rate (mechanical calibration)
–– gas valve maximum flow rate (mechanical calibration)
–– recirculation flue gas by-pass gate (mechanical calibration).
IMPORTANT
m –– For further information, refer to the manual of the devices supplied with the generator.
–– Upon first start-up, check the efficiency of all the adjustment and control devices present on the control panel.
–– Warranty validity is subject to the compliance of the provisions set forth in this manual.

Start-up procedure
To start the steam generator:
–– power the control panel by setting the central and main switch to “ON”
–– press key
–– touch the flashing icon to start the generator, with the water at minimum temperature (approx. at ambient temperature).

Wait for the appliance to have completed the start-up phases until reaching the maximum power.
When the generator has reached the maximum power, let it stabilise, without waiting for the pressure to rise and carry out the
following measurements/checks:
–– check that the grid gas and the gas valve pressure values t match with those specified for the installed generator. Should this
not be the case, operate on the pressure controller
–– make sure that fan frequency (Hz) and combustion data (CO2 - NOx) match with those specified in the table
–– Through the flame inspection windows (4) check that the colour of the flame and of the metal mesh is light blue. Should this
not be the case, turn the Shutter adjustment screw (+/-) (1), or operate on the flue gas recirculation gate (2).

Operate the appliance at its minimum power and carry out the following measurements/checks:
–– make sure that fan frequency (Hz) and combustion data (CO2 - NOx) match with those specified in the table.
–– through the flame inspection windows (4) check that the colour of the flame and of the metal mesh is light blue. Should this
not be the case, operate on the "OFFSET" screw pre-calibrated with centreline index (+/-) (3).

IMPORTANT
m –– It is of the utmost importance to avoid that burner mesh is red since it indicates a "combustion air defect" and can
irreparably damage the material.

IMPORTANT
m –– With the steam generator running at the Max Power and at a steam pressure of 10 bar, the NOx value must be < 70
mg/kwh.
–– On the generators equipped with manhole, during the first start-up, it is essential to progressively tighten the two nuts
of the hatch while pressure increases. Otherwise, the installation area may become dangerous for the operators in
charge, due to steam seeping through and deteriorating gasket rapidly.
–– Check the intervention of all safety and adjustment accessories described in the relevant chapter.

First commissioning 55
CHECKS AFTER COMMISSIONING
With cold start, check that:
–– the water level is 60 mm above the minimum level (LWL) indicated on the level indicator; the water volume increase due to
heating (water thermal expansion) should not be excessive in order to avoid having to drain water at regular intervals to bring
the level back to half scale on the glass indicator
–– once the set pressure has been reached, the steam outlet valve must be opened gradually in order to heat the delivery pipe
by eliminating any condensate present inside ducts
–– the manhole gasket seals.

STOP PERIODS
The most serious corrosions for the generator often occur during the stop periods.
The operations to be carried out to ensure a correct storage of the generator mainly depend on the duration of the stop time.
When the generator has to remain unused for long periods a dry storage is recommended. When the stop times are for short
periods or when the generator has a backup function and must be able to become operational in a short time, a wet storage is
recommended.
In both cases, the operations described below tend to eliminate any possible cause of corrosion.
The wet storage, whenever possible, reduces the interval necessary to reach the operating conditions.

Dry storage
Empty and thoroughly dry the generator, then inject a dessicant (such as quicklime, silica gel, etc.) inside the cylindrical body.

Wet storage
Drain water and perform a complete cleaning of the generator. Fill the body up to the normal operating level and, after a short
evaporation time, blowdown to the atmosphere to eliminate all dissolved gases. Then completely fill the generator, with a correct
metering of DEHA (diethyl hydroxyl amine) to develop a residual concentration of more than 100 ppm preventing the attacks of
the oxygen dissolved in water. Add also trisodium phosphate to ensure a total alkalinity above 400 ppm.
Then close all connections.
Make sure that there are no leaks from connections or junctions and take some water samples at regular intervals in order to check
that the alkalinity value has not been altered.

56 First commissioning
6 Maintenance
Periodic maintenance is prescribed by Law and must be performed only by a Qualified Personnel.
The frequency of the operations is shown in the specific paragraph.
IMPORTANT
m Before performing any maintenance or cleaning:
–– disconnect the electrical power supply by placing the main switch of the system, of the control panel and of the burner,
if any, at "OFF"
–– close the fuel supply
–– use all Personal Protective Equipment required by current Standards and Legislation
–– wait for the generator and the system to cool down.

–– Periodically purge (level indicators, probe support, if any, generator) to avoid the build-up of sludge
–– check the efficiency of the control and adjustment instruments by carefully examining the electrical parts, the connections
and the mechanical parts (pressure switches); it is recommended to replace the probe ceramic spark plugs annually
–– carry out burner maintenance (according to the relative instructions)
–– check the torque of the flange bolts and the state of the gaskets
–– check the state of the internal coating of the doors
–– clean the tube bundle and turbulators
–– carry out proper pump maintenance (bearings, mechanical seal)
–– check the wear of the drain valves, replace them if necessary
–– in case of backfire inside the combustion chamber, before a new ignition, check for any damage of the system, mainly close to
the combustion head.

PERIODIC VERIFICATIONS
WATER MONITORING
The system operator present inside the installation room must frequently check the glass indicator in order to avoid that the water
level inside the generator remains above the minimum value indicated by the glass level. Any lowering under the minimum value
shall trigger the two safety level switches.

PRESSURE MONITORING
The operator of the system in the installation room must frequently verify that the pressure of the generator steam remains below
the maximum value indicated on the generator assembly plate; a possible abnormal increase of the pressure must cause, at first,
the intervention of the safety pressure switch, then the opening of the safety valves.

Check intervals are specified in the table. They MUST be thoroughly respected.

LIFECYCLE OF MAIN COMPONENTS


The lifetime of system components is shown in the table below.

These devices must be replaced once their useful lifetime expires:


COMPONENTS LIFETIME (years)
Level switch 8
Pressure switch 10
Safety modules 20
Combustion control unit 10
Gas valve 10
Gas pressure switch 20
Air pressure switch 20

ATTENTION
a The electronic level relays present inside the control panel must be replaced after 8 years of operation since their
useful lifetime has expired.

METHODS FOR CHECKING THE SAFETY DEVICES


CHECKING OF THE MINIMUM LEVEL SAFETY LEVEL SWITCHES
Position yourself in front of the control panel, leave the steam outlet valve open with standard withdrawal, turn off the pump by
setting switch to "0", wait for the natural lowering of the generator water level. To accelerate this operation, operate on the sludge
drain valve.
IMPORTANT
m The two safety devices must trigger when the water level reaches the “minimum” mark indicated on the side of the
glass indicators. Should this not be the case, check the whole level switch, which consists of:
–– electronic level regulator; check it is intact and, if not, proceed with replacement
–– connection cable between control panel and probe; possible interruption and/or short circuit
–– level probe; check for possible breakage of the ceramic part and consequent loss of electrical insulation
–– level dipstick; possible scale build-ups preventing the probe-water current passage or possible dipstick detachment.

If check outcome is positive, set pump control to “AUT”.

CHECK THE MAXIMUM LEVEL SWITCH (IF ANY)


Set the pump switch on the control panel to MAN and wait for the water level to increase inside the generator.
Check that the pump stops when the maximum point visible in the glass indicator has been reached.

CHECK OF THE SAFETY PRESSURE SWITCH


The safety pressure switch must be calibrated at a pressure lower than that of the safety valve.
To check the correct activation of the safety pressure switch, increase the calibration of the regulation pressure switch(es) and
check burner turning off and shut-off alarm activation from the control panel (visually follow the indication provided by the
manometer).

Maintenance 59
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
–– Depending on the degree of pollution of the premises, clean the ventilation and/or the air conditioner (if present) filters and
grilles frequently.
–– Every 2-3 months check if there are dust deposits inside the control panel, suck and/or blow to remove any deposit.
–– Every six months check the clamping of the connections to the inner components, paying particular attention to the power
circuits.
–– Every six months check the clamping of the connections to the field control/safety devices, including any junction boxes.
–– Annually check that the electrical panel, the generator and the control unit equipotential is properly connected to earth.
–– Every six months check the condition of the safety devices (probes and pressure switches).
–– Every six months checkthat the pump and burner control circuits still meet the original conditions (refer to paragraph
“Commissioning”)

IMPORTANT
m In order to preserve the proper operation of the generator over time, we recommend requesting a half-yearly/yearly
inspection by the Technical Assistance Service, for a general check of all parts.

EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE
The generator must be stopped periodically for a thorough inspection and maintenance: the time interval between downtime is
established through experience, by operating conditions, by the quality of the feed water, and by the type of fuel used.
Before accessing the generator body for inspection and cleaning, thoroughly check that no water or steam can reach the
generator through the connecting ducts. Each valve will have to be locked and, if necessary, isolated by removing a section of the
connection pipe to the system or by placing a blind flange in-between.
The pressurised parts must be carefully examined internally to look for any build-up, corrosion and other potential sources of
danger pertaining to the feed water.
It is necessary to remove the deposits through mechanical or chemical action and use suitable tools to ensure that the actual
thickness of the internal parts is not affected by corrosion. Any pockmark or other type of corrosion must be scraped and cleaned
with an iron brush until the metal is exposed. Leaks between all fume pipes and tube sheets must be examined carefully: any
welding must comply with legal requirements, not forgetting that the steam generator is a pressure appliance with an explosion
hazard, subject to control by the relative Body.
During the inspection, check all safety accessories (safety valve, safety level switches and safety pressure switches).

LEVEL SWITCH REPLACEMENT


To replace the safety level switch or part of it, strictly observe the following instructions:
–– check that the ceramic part of the new level probe is intact
–– check the rod length
–– check the coaxiality of the rod with the level probe axis
–– check the integrity of the electrical system, in particular check that the insulation resistance of the electrical cable that
connects the probe to the panel is above 2 MΩ
–– check the integrity of the probe with particular regard to the isolation between the central electrode and the external part,
that must be ≥ at 10 MΩ
–– check the operation of the level switch, consisting of the assembly of the two ceramic probes and relative conductivity relays.
IMPORTANT
m –– The electronic level relays inside the electrical panel HAVE AN AVERAGE CALCULATED DURATION (MTTFd, "Mean Time To
Failure") of 8 YEARS. It is an average time before a dangerous failure occurs. Therefore, they must be replaced after this
operating period. We recommend replacing the probes once a year. To be evaluated, during cleaning/maintenance, the
other mechanical, electromechanical and electronic parts.
–– The faulty components must be replaced with ICI CALDAIE S.p.A. original components.

self-test, complete with burner shut off relay
–– connections and electrical controls in generator control panel
–– mechanical and electric assembling.

This system, supplied as an alternative to the standard low level probes, is designed to ensure that the water level in the generator
does not fall below the allowed value. It consists of two independent "fail safe" probes connected to two separated electronic
level relays with self-checking feature, capable of indicating:
–– the lack of water below the set level

62 Maintenance
–– the lack of water below the set level
–– the lack of insulation inside the probe
–– faults inside the device (self-check)
–– interruption of the connection between the probe and the device in compliance with EN 12953-9 point 5.4.8.

When it trips, the control panel triggers a visual and an acoustic alarm and stops the generator (permanently). The generator
operation is resumed only after the elimination of the fault and the manual reset by the operator. The control panel is supplied
fully assembled on the generator and already tested.

It complies with the following European Directives:


–– Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU
–– EMC Directive 2014/30/EU
–– PED Directive 2014/68/EU

–– conductivity probe
–– salinity regulation and control unit
–– electric or pneumatic blowdown system complete with shut-off valves
–– electrical controls in generator control panel
–– mechanical and electric assembling.

The TDS control system limits the salt and mineral levels dissolved in system water within permitted manufacturer values, thus
avoiding any risk of entrainment due to high salinity levels and minimising the amount of blowdown required and associated
costs. The system continually measures the electrical conductivity value of the system water, just below the evaporation surface.
Its value is related to the concentration of dissolved salts. The detected value is compared with the set one. If it is higher, the
blowdown valve opens until the value returns below the set-point.

–– 2-way pneumatic valve made of steel, with lever for manual operation
–– adjustment of opening frequency and duration
–– compressed air solenoid valve
–– connections and electrical controls in generator control panel
–– mechanical and electric assembling.

The automatic sludge drain unit prevents unnecessary blowdown duplication or verifiable omission with the manual system.
This system allows sludge accumulated at the bottom of the boiler to be regularly and automatically removed through a cyclical
opening in the blowdown valve. The blowdown frequency and duration are set by the user according to the characteristics of the
generator water, as indicated in this technical manual. The system requires compressed air availability.

High level safety probe, mounted directly in the generator body.


Kit designed to prevent an excessive increase of water level inside the generator. Once the set level is reached, the control panel
stops the feed pump and triggers an acoustic alarm. Alarm resetting and pump restart automatically occur once normal level in
the generator is restored.

–– AISI 304 barrel with an internal water-cooling coil
–– cooling water injection ball valve
–– handwheel valve for sample picking.

Make sure that the boiler is operating within the desired conductivity parameters by taking and testing water samples. To safely
obtain samples, it is essential that a proper cooling is carried out in order to condensate any rising steam before the withdrawal
point. The cooler reduces the water temperature to 25° C so that it is ready for an immediate sampling.

Integrated energy saver consisting of:


–– 2 check thermometers
–– 1 pressure gauge with three-way test valve
–– safety valve.

Temperature monitoring:
–– ambient temperature
–– flue gas temperature.

in case of a supply pump failure, a second backup supply pump is supplied and installed in
parallel with the service one. In case of failure of the operating pump, duly signalled by the
flashing light on the control panel, the exchange is carried out by the operator - after having
eliminated the cause of the malfunction - through the switch present on the control panel.
This switch is located between the level relay (or controller) and the power and protection
branches of the pumps, which are completely split and independent.
The backup supply pump is thus controlled in the same way as the service pump. Both
pumps, hydraulically connected to the same feed pipe, are equipped with a non-return valve
and a shut-off valve dedicated to each pump to avoid the water flow towards the pump in
stand-by conditions.

The kit comes with:


–– no.1 backup supply pump with characteristics similar to service pump
–– no.1 pump suction filter
–– no.1 non-return valve on pump downstream
–– no.1 shut-off valve on pump downstream

SECOND LEVEL INDICATOR


It is supplied as an optional and/or when the prevailing Regulation in the country of
destination of ECOVAPOR requires the second level indicator.
The kit is assembled and tested in our factory and comes with:
–– level indicator with direct reflection
–– interception valve and drain indicator unit.

SECOND SAFETY VALVE


It is supplied as an optional and/or when the prevailing Regulation in the country of
destination of ECOVAPOR requires the spring double safety valve.

64 Optional components
STEAM OUTLET ELECTRIC VALVES
The butterfly valve is a safety valve with a disc-shaped shutter turning around a standard axis
of the pipe thus stopping the flow. It can be used as control valve or simply as shut-off valve.
It has proven its worth in recent years as an alternative, with allocation range up to 16 bar, to
ball valves or gate valves.
The main advantages offered by the butterfly valve are:
–– compact dimensions with consequent less space required
–– possibility to be assembled in any position
–– reduced weight with easy transport and maintenance
–– negligible load losses
–– long duration over time

Butterfly valve is adjusted through the electric actuator remotely controlled by the boiler
control panel.

STEAM NON-RETURN VALVES


The check valve, or non-return valve, is a valve allowing a single flow direction.
The disc check valves are used for the "sandwich" assembling between flanges; they are
suitable for use with a wide range of fluids for applications on process lines, cold, hot and
superheated water systems, thermal oils, compressed air, etc.

STEAM FLOW METER


Flowmeter for saturated steam, in sandwich design, i.e. in-between two flanges, equipped
with built-in electronics providing an output with density compensation.
The electronic head is equipped with an LCD. Instant flow rate signal is transmitted through
a 4÷20 mA output.

ELECTRICAL ENERGY METER


–– Electrical energy electronic meter.
–– Connection and insertion with TA.
–– Number of poles: 3 poles + neutral.
–– Measure of power, active and reactive energy.
–– Communication port protocol: ModBus, RS485.
–– Insulation class: IP20, IP40.

Optional components 65
MID THERMAL ENERGY METER
The heat meter kits are used for heating and cooling flow metering.
The range includes kits up to DN200 in order to meter the supply energy to risers
or heat exchangers.
The kits consist of a calculating unit where two PT500 temperature probes (flow
and return) and the pulse output head of a suitable sized volumetric meter must
be connected.
The calculating unit features a Meter Bus output and can communicate with
devices provided with this input such as, for example, CB 1013 interface of MBUS
CB78 centraliser.
The data communicated by the calculating unit to the interface board (CB1013)
can be read also by a e-kronos unit that can be connected up to 90 metres away
with 3x0.35 shielded cable.
The calculating unit can meter also the pulses coming from 3 possible volumetric
meters.

TURBINE GAS METER


The turbine flow meters and quantometers are meters showing the passed volume
in cubic meters at the operating conditions.
The running gas is accelerated and conveyed on impeller blades.
The movement of the impeller is transferred to a eight-digit meter through
reduction gears and a magnetic coupling.
The turbine flow meters are approved for the fiscal measurements of natural gas.
All turbine flow meters are compliant with the international directives and standards
on pressure equipment (PED).
The turbine gas meters are fiscal flow meters detecting gas operating volume.
Meters comply with Directive MID 2004/22/EC.

GAS MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE


Female/female ball valve with total passage for the fuel gas and yellow aluminium
lever, galvanised.

GAS PRESSURE CONTROLLER


Gas pressure controller with direct action compensated shutter.

Controllers comply with standard EN 88-2 - EN 334

How to register your appliance

The appliance must be registered once the product has been installed, either before or after start-up.
Follow these steps:
–– Obtain a smartphone (iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Htc,
Blackberry etc.) or a tablet
–– after downloading and installing a "QR Reader"
application (any free application is usually more than
enough), open it and point the camera on the QR
code located on the plate of your appliance (circled in
the image)
–– you will be sent back to a web page on which to
register the data of your appliance and system by
completing the indicated spaces.

Once registered, authenticate your e-mail address by clicking on the link that will be sent by e-mail to the provided inbox.
An additional e-mail will then be received with the credentials to access all services specifically developed by ICI CALDAIE S.p.A.
for those who will register their boiler through the QR Code.
Registration entitles you, even in future months and years, to take advantage of promotions and specific services for registered
appliances (e.g.: discounts on spare parts, spare parts kits on sale, free routine maintenance for certain types of products, etc.).

9 Appendixes for Technical Personnel
The tables below have to be used by the Technical Personnel to easily identify the components that could have generated any
fault / alarm.
TABLES 1 and 2 indicate the operating phase and the input and output statuses during this phase.
TABLES 3 list the error codes, the diagnosis codes, the causes and the operating phase during which the fault occurred, thus
simplifying the identification of the cause that could have generated it

When a malfunction of one generator component occurs or in case of abnormal situation, the control panel generates a visual
and acoustic alarm. Press button to mute the siren, but the visual indications remain present both on the operator display and
on the burner control unit (1)display present inside the control panel.
In order to display the number of the operating phase during which the fault occurred or the fault error code on the control unit
display, the control panel door has to be opened; this operation can be performed only by Authorised Technical Personnel.

Examples:
Table 1 and 2 - Operating phase 22:
–– General safety circuit ON
–– Operation request ON
–– Fan motor ON

The other inputs and outputs of phase 22 are negligible


or not significant.

Table 3
Loc.c: 12 relates to the LEAK CHECK phase.
Loc.d: 83 indicates that gas valve V2 leaks.

Note
The indications “Loc.c” e “Loc.d” are alternatively shown
