1.4

Proper use
The ROTEX GSU may be used exclusively as hot water heating system. The GasSolarUnit must be installed, connected and operated only according to the indications in this manual. The ROTEX GSU must only be operated with the integrated circulation pump and only in connection with a control system that has been approved by ROTEX. Any other use outside the above-mentioned use is considered as improper. Any resulting damages will be borne by the user/owner alone. Proper use also includes observing the relevant maintenance and servicing conditions. Spare parts must at least satisfy the technical requirements defined by the manufacturer. This is the case, for example, with original spare parts.

1.5

Fundamental instructions for operational safety


1.5.1 Before working on the hot water storage tank and the heating system
Works at the domestic hot water storage tank and the heating system (such as the installation, the connections and the initial commissioning) must only be conducted by authorised and trained heating engineers. Switch off the mains supply before starting any work on the hot water storage tank and heating system and secure it against unintentional switch-on. Lead tamper-proof seals must not be damaged or removed. Make sure that the safety valves comply with the requirements of EN 12828 when connecting on the heating side, and with the requirements of EN 12897 when connecting on the domestic water side.

1.5.2 Electrical installation


Electrical installations must only be conducted by electrical engineers and in compliance with valid electrical guidelines as well as the specifications of the energy supply company. Before completing the mains connection, compare the mains voltage, indicated on the type plate (230 V, 50 Hz) with the supply voltage. Before beginning work on live parts, disconnect them from the power supply (switch off main switch, remove fuse) and secure against unintentional restart. Equipment covers and service panels must be replaced as soon as the work is completed.

1.5.3 Unit installation room


Operate GasSolarUnit only if sufficient combustion air supply is ensured. If you operate the ROTEX GSU in a room-air independent manner with a concentric air/flue gas system (LAS) dimensioned as per ROTEX standard, this is fulfilled automatically and there are no other conditions for the equipment erection room. With installation in residential rooms, this method of operation applies exclusively. Make sure that, with installation in a room-air dependent or limited room-air independent manner, an inlet air opening to the outside of at least 150 cm2 is provided. Do not operate the burner by the ambient air dependent method in rooms with aggressive vapours (e.g. hair spray, perchloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride), strong dust formation (e.g. workshop) or high humidity (e.g. laundry). Always maintain the minimum distances to walls and other objects (see chapter 3.1 and 3.4).

FA ROTEX GSU - 04/2012

1 x Safety
1.5.4 Requirements for the heating water
Avoid damages caused by deposits and corrosion: To prevent corrosion products and deposits, observe the applicable regulations of technology. Measures for desalination, softening or hardness stabilization are necessary, if the filling and top-up water have a high total hardness (>3 mmol/l - sum of the calcium and magnesium concentrations, calculated as calcium carbonate. Using filling water and top-up water which does not meet the stated quality requirements can cause a considerably reduced service life of the equipment. The responsibility for this is entirely that of the operator.

1.5.5 Heating system and sanitary connection


Create a heating system according to the safety requirements of EN 12828. With sanitary connection, you must observe; EN 1717 - Protection of domestic water from contamination in domestic water installations and general requirements concerning safety equipment for the prevention of domestic water contamination by back-flow EN 806 - Technical regulations for domestic water installations (TRWI) and, in addition, the country-specific legal regulations. During operation of the ROTEX GSU, the storage tank temperature may exceed 60C, particularly when solar power is used. For this reason, install a scald protection (domestic hot water mixing construction, e.g. VTA32, 15 60 16) when installing the system.

1.5.6 Fuel
The ROTEX GSU is factory set to the gas type indicated on the burner sticker and on the settings type plate and adjusted to the gas pressure indicated on the burner sticker. Operate the unit only with the gas type and gas pressure indicated on these stickers. Installation and adaptation of the gas system must only be conducted by personnel qualified for this work and in compliance with valid gas installation related guidelines as well as the applicable regulations of the gas supply company.

1.5.7 Operation
Do not operate the ROTEX GSU if the storage tank is filled to above the overflow edge. Operate ROTEX GSU only with closed silencer hoods. Operate the ROTEX GSU on the sanitary side only with an adjusted pressure reducer (6 bar).

1.5.8 Instructing the user/owner


Before you hand over the heating system, explain to the owner how he/she can operate and check the heating system. Hand over the technical documentation (this document and all supporting documents) to the user and advise him that these documents must be made available at all times and be stored in the immediate vicinity of the unit. Make a record of the handover by filling out and signing the installation and instruction forms jointly with the user/owner.

2 x Product description
2.2 Brief description
The ROTEX GasSolarUnit (GSU) is a complete, pre-assembled gas condensing boiler with an integrated domestic hot water storage tank. This integration ensures that there are no external surface and cooling losses. All the heat is passed to the storage tank water, not to the surroundings. The excellent heat insulation properties of the plastic storage tank also ensure that heat losses are kept to a minimum. The very flat cylinder-shaped aluminium boiler body is inserted into the cover of the storage tank. The combustion chamber is arranged centrally. The flue gas is directed in a spiral around the burner chamber and then taken away upwards. The flue gas temperature now always remains below 80C.

Solar utilisation
The hot water storage tank of ROTEX GSU can also be used by solar energy. For the models GSU 520S(F)-e and GSU 530S(F)-e, the gas condensing boiler is specifically used to maintain the temperature only in the upper zone of the storage tank. With solar heating, depending on the available heat from the sun, the entire hot water storage tank can be heated up. The stored heat is now used for hot water generation as well as for the heating support. The high-level total storage tank capacity in the 500 l hot water storage tank, also allows bridging of the periods without sunshine. For the models GSU 320(F)-e and GSU 535(F)-e, the entire storage tank is designed as domestic hot water zone. It is possible to make thermal use of solar energy for hot water preparation. The solar component is optimised in combination with an upstream Solaris system (pre-heating stage).

Operating mode
The ROTEX GSU is designed such that it can be operated independently of the ambient air. The burner suctions the combustion air directly in through an installation shaft or a double-walled flue gas pipe. This operating mode has several advantages: The heating room does not need any ventilation opening into the open air and therefore does not cool down. Lower energy consumption. Additional energy recovery in the flue gas pipe through preheating the combustion air. Additional energy efficiency through the positioning and flow through of the heat exchangers. For all units, a distinct temperature stratification is formed. Contamination from the environment of the burner are not suctioned in. The heating room can thus be used as a workpspace, laundry room etc. at the same time. Possible to install as central roof unit and in garages. The potable water is heated up indirectly with the non-pressurized storage water of the domestic hot water storage tank in a corrosion resistant, stainless steel heat exchanger with corrugated pipes. This heat exchanger stores approx. 24 l (19 l for the GSU 320(F)-e) hot potable water on the temperature level of the domestic hot water zone. If a higher quantity of hot water is tapped, this water is heated by the geyser principle. The precipitating condensation is collected at the lowest point of the boiler body, led to the storage tank through a plastic tube and neutralised there. From there, it is led through the safety overflow connection.

Safety management
The entire safety management of the ROTEX GSU is entrusted to electronic control. This effects a safety switch-off in the event of water shortage, gas shortage or undefined operating states. A corresponding fault signal provides an engineer with all the necessary information for troubleshooting.

Electronic control
A fully electronic digital control combined with the "intelligent" automatic firing unit of the burner controls all heating and hot water functions fully automatically for the direct heating circuit, an optionally available mixed heating circuit as well as a storage tank charging circuit. The continuously modulating control adjusts the heating output flexibly to the changing requirements. All adjustments, displays and functions are carried out through the ROTEX control system THETA 23R+. The display and keyboard make it easy to use. To increase the comfort, a digital room station (ROTEX THETA RS+, (ROTEX THETA RFF, 15 40 70) are optionally available. 15 70 22) or a room temperature controller set

Condensing technology
The calorific value engineering makes optimum use of the energy contained in the heating gas. The flue gas is cooled down in the boiler and in an operating mode, independent from the ambient air to a temperature below the dew point. A part of the water vapour generated on combustion of the gas thus condenses. The condensation heat is fed to the heating, as against the low temperature boilers. This makes an efficiency of over 100% possible.

3.2 Different set-ups
The ROTEX GasSolarUnits are generally designed for the operation, independent from the ambient air. They are fitted with a concentric flue gas /air supply pipe DN 80/125. ROTEX recommends the use of the gas condensing boiler in room-air independent operation with a concentric flue gas/air inlet. If possible, choose this set-up! In the event of limited room-air independent operation (separate flue gas/ air inlet) and in the event of room-air dependent operation, the installation room must have a ventilation opening of at least 150 cm2 to the outside. This reduces the overall energy efficiency of the building in the framework of the European Guideline 2010/31/EU: EPBD.

3.2.1 Operation independent of ambient air


With equipment erection in residential rooms, only one of the set up variants 1 to 4 is permissible.

Set-up version 1
The ROTEX GSU is connected to the chimney or an installation shaft with the concentric LAS connection line SET H or SET K. The combustible air supply from the outside runs through the chimney or through an installation shaft. The flue gas discharge to the outside runs through the same shaft as the air supply. Minimum distance between flue gas exit and crest: 40 cm.

Set-up version 2
The ROTEX GSU is placed directly below the roof. Connection with SET L. The combustible air supply and flue gas discharge run through a concentric dual pipe. The combustible air supply from the outside runs through the outer ring-shaped gap of the dual tube and the flue gas discharge to the outside runs through the inner tube. Minimum distance between flue gas exit and roof surface: 40 cm. Minimum height of the flue gas duct: 2 m.

Installation version 3
The ROTEX GSU is not placed directly below the roof. The dual tube for the combustible air supply and flue gas pipe runs through the roof truss. The combustible air supply and the flue gas discharge run through a concentric dual pipe (as in Installation version 2). In the area of the roof truss, the dual pipe for the combustible air supply and the flue gas duct must be laid through a protective pipe with sufficient fire resistance or be structurally separated from the roof truss.

Set-up version 4
The ROTEX GSU is connected with the LAS connection line SET H or SET K to the exterior wall system SET G. The combustible air supply from the outside runs through the ring-shaped gap in the dual pipe, through the outer wall (suction from below). The flue gas discharge to the outside runs through a concentric pipe, through the outer wall and then up to at least 40 cm over the roof surface. In the external area, the outer air gap serves as heat insulation for the flue gas pipe. If the wall feedthrough has a height of less than one meter above the plot, ROTEX recommends sending the combustible air through a separate air supply pipe (mounting height: about 2 m).

Information for installation in garages


The ROTEX GSU is basically suitable for installation and operation in garages. Requirements: Ambient air-independent operation, A durable operating manual placed in a very visible place near the boiler, The construction must include a protective device against mechanical damage (vehicle!) for the entire system (e.g. bracket or deflector).

FA ROTEX GSU - 04/2012

3 x Set-up and installation


3.2.2 Operation partially independent of ambient air Set-up version 5
The ROTEX GSU is operated with separately routed inlet air/ flue gas lines (2 line system). Combustion air inlet is routed from the outside via the adequately sealed inlet air through the external wall. The air inlet line should be sized so that the suction resistance at nominal power is less than 50 Pa. Flue gas dissipation to the outdoors is via the chimney or an installation shaft. If the connection line between the ROTEX GSU and the installation shaft is single-walled or is not completely surrounded by combustion air, a ventilation opening of at least 150 cm2 is required. Appropriate measures must be taken to ensure that the burner cannot be operated if the ventilation opening is closed. The installation shaft where the flue gas line runs must be rear ventilated. In the lower area there must be a rear ventilation opening of at least 150 cm2 must be provided. The cross-section of the installation shaft must be sized so that between the external wall of the flue gas line and the internal face of the installation shaft the following minimum distance must be maintained: with a rectangular shaft cross-section: 2 cm with round shaft cross-section: 3 cm. The rear ventilation opening must not be in rooms where a positive pressure is generated (e.g. by controlled apartment ventilation, a tumble-drier etc.).

3.2.3 Ambient air dependent operation


The ROTEX GSU can be connected even with ventilation and air-conditioning. Thereby, only the inner flue gas pipe (plastic pipe 80 mm) of the concentric air-flue gas pipe is connected to the flue gas line. The device sucks the combustible air from the installation room through the ring-shaped gap of the jacket pipe. For the flue gas routing to the outdoors, the shaft sizing and the rear ventilation, the same conditions apply as in section 3.2.2. A ventilation opening to the outside of 150 cm2 is imperative. In some cases, the resonance in the flue system can amplify the noise at the mouth of the flue gas pipe. The noise level can be effectively reduced with the application of a silencer (E8 MSD, 15 45 78 or E11 MSD, 15 45 79). Air suction noises are generated in ambient air-dependent operations. The noise level can be effectively reduced with the application of a silencer (G ZLSD, 15 45 77).

3.4 Installing the GasSolarUnit
3.4.1 Selecting the installation site
The place of installation for the ROTEX GSU must meet the following minimum requirements.

Installation surface

Supporting ground is solid, flat and horizontal and adequately capable of carrying the weight (>1050 kg/m2). Install a pedestal if necessary. Observe the set-up dimensions (see section 3.1).

Installation room
There are no special conditions for ventilation of the installation room for operation independent of the ambient air (using a concentric air/flue system). In the event of limited room-air independent operation and in the event of room-air dependent operation, the installation room must have a ventilation opening of at least 150 cm2 to the outside. If the flue gas line goes via an installation shaft to the outside, it must be rear ventilated (see section 3.2.2). For partial ambient air-independent and for ambient air-dependent mode, the installation room must be free from aggressive vapours (e.g. hair spray, perchloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride), heavy dust formation and high atmospheric humidity (e.g. washhouse).

Surface temperatures, minimum distance


WARNING! The storage tank plastic wall on the ROTEX GSU can melt under the effects of external heat (>80C) and, in the extreme case, can cause a fire. The ROTEX GSU can only be set up at a minimum distance of 1 m from other sources of heat (>80C, e.g. electric heaters, gas heaters, chimneys). When operating independently of the ambient air with nominal output, the design does not allow temperatures >80C on any component outside the unit panels. Therefore, no minimum distance is required to components made with flammable materials. A minimum distance of 50 mm between the flue gas duct and flammable components should be maintained in a partial ambient air-independent and ambient air-dependent mode. Do not use easily inflammable and easily combustible substances directly next to the ROTEX GSU.

Air/flue system (LAS)


3.5.1 General instructions for flue system
WARNING! There will be a risk of poisoning caused by flue gas escaping within enclosed rooms that are inadequately ventilated. Install only approved flue gas systems. The stipulated ventilation and rear ventilation must be ensured, depending on the set up variant.

Minimum requirements
The firing regulations for the country in question and the country-specific standards are applicable for the model and design of the flue gas system. Basically, for the flue gas system, you can use each flue gas pipe according to EN 14471 with EU label, which meets the following minimum requirements: Suitable for gas. Suitable for flue gas temperatures of at least 120C (temperature class T120 or higher). Suitable for at least 200 Pa overpressure (pressure class P1 or H1). Humidity-resistant (condensation resistance class W). Sufficiently corrosion-resistant (corrosion resistance class 1 or 2). The properties of the flue gas system must be identifiable on the installed system (nameplate in the installation room).

Type of connections
Directly backwards (fig. 3-1: SET H, 15 50 79.08). At the side towards the back (fig. 3-2: SET K, 15 50 79.09). Direct roof penetration (fig. 3-4, variant 2 and 3: SET L, 15 50 79.10). For other details and connection dimensions for the three versions of the flue gas pipe, see section 3.5.3. Each flue gas line must be installed with a suitable test adapter for checking and setting the combustion values. The ROTEX LAS construction sets each include a test adapter (D8PA, 15 50 79.00 93).

Installation position and line height


The maximum permitted flue gas counter pressure is 200 Pa. The pressure loss in the supply line must not exceed 50 Pa. Angle of entry of the flue gas pipe into the chimney or installation shaft: at least 3. Slope for horizontal parts of the flue gas pipe: at least 3. Counter-slopes are not allowed at any point in the flue gas pipe. If the flue gas duct needs more than 3 deflections >45 for the flue gas duct, the maximum height for the flue gas duct reduces by at least 1 m per deflection (flue gas calculations may be needed). If the horizontal connecting piece is extended, the maximum permitted height of the flue gas duct is reduced by exactly that length. Flexible flue gas lines must not be used in horizontal connection sections. FA ROTEX GSU - 04/2012

3 x Set-up and installation


Flue gas system resistance
For a safe burner start and stable setting values in the lower output range, a minimum resistance in the flue gas line is necessary, especially for liquid gas units. If this resistance is not achieved during the max. speed of the burner blower, a silencer must be installed (E8 MSD, 15 45 78 or E11 MSD, 15 45 79). After the initial burner start, the ROTEX GSU switches at first into the storage tank charging mode. In this mode, the burner blower runs with max. speed. Measure the resistance with a differential pressure measuring device at the flue gas measuring piece between the flue gas and the supply air measuring opening (differential pressure for GSU 320(F)-e / GSU 520S(F)-e at least 0.45 mbar, for GSU 530S(F)-e / GSU 535(F)-e at least 1 mbar). The tab. 3-3 indicates the max. permissible height for the flue gas line, in the event that the ROTEX GSU will be operated in the nominal output range.

3.5.2 Connect flue gas line to the GSU
The certified company carrying out the work must come to an agreement with the district chimney sweep before beginning the work. Even in regions where it is not legally specified, we recommend documenting the participation of the district chimney sweep on a form.

Requirements
The flue system fulfils the requirements described in section 3.5.1. The flue system fulfils any other required national or regional safety requirements. The ROTEX GSU is installed correctly.

Connection
Basically, any flue gas line that complies with the minimum requirements according to the EN 14471 and that has the CE-labelling can be connected (see section 3.5.1). Each flue gas line must be installed with a suitable test adapter for checking and setting the combustion values. The ROTEX LAS construction sets each include a test adapter (D8PA, 15 50 79.00 93). We recommend to use the associated ROTEX LAS-sets (see fig. 3-9). They satisfy all requirements and are also fitted with special acid-proof seals.

Water connection for heating and hot water pipes


The connections of the ROTEX GSU are located on top of the unit or at the front (Solaris return flow). Heating circuit and storage charge have a common inflow and return flow. The heating circuit for the storage charge is integrated at the factory and must not be connected separately. Any limescale which results from the water heating process is rinsed out of the stainless steel corrugated pipe heat exchanger with hot water. Observe implicitly the information regarding the corrosion protection in chapter 7.1 "Important information on the hydraulic connection".

Instructions for water connection


CAUTION! If the ROTEX GSU is connected to a heating system with steel pipelines, radiators or non-diffusion-proof floor heating pipes, slurry and chips could enter the boiler and cause blockages, overheating or corrosion. Rinse out the heat distribution network (in the existing heating system). Install a dirt filter into the heating return flow (SFR 28, 15 60 11 for units of up to 28 kW or SFR 50, 15 60 12 for units of up to 50 kW). For potable water lines, the stipulations of the EN 806 and the national regulations for potable water installation that apply additionally must be observed. CAUTION! If the ROTEX GSU is connected to a cold water line, where steel pipes are used, chips can go into the special steel corrugated pipe heat exchanger and remain there. This can lead to contact corrosion damage and subsequently to leakage. Flush the feed pipes before filling the heat exchanger. Install a dirt filter in the cold water supply. Check the cold water connection pressure (maximum 6 bar). At higher pressure in the drinking water line, a pressure reducer must be installed. Position and dimension of the heating pipes are given in fig. 3-3. To prevent heat losses, all hot water pipes must be insulated against heat. To avoid a circulation line, install the hot water storage close to the removal location. If a circulation line is absolutely essential, it must be installed in accordance with the schematics in chapter 7.3 "Hydraulic system connection". Connect the flue gas pipe to the safety valve and the diaphragm expansion basin according to EN 12828. Water shortage protection: The overheating protection of the ROTEX GSU switches off the gas condensing boiler in case of heat deficiency and locks it. No additional water shortage protection is needed in the construction. Avoid damages caused by deposits and corrosion: To prevent corrosion products and deposits, observe the applicable regulations of technology. Measures for desalination, softening or hardness stabilization are necessary, if the filling and top-up water have a high total hardness (>3 mmol/l - sum of the calcium and magnesium concentrations, calculated as calcium carbonate. WARNING! There is a danger of scalding at hot water temperatures over 60C. This is possible, when solar energy is used, when the Legionella protection is activated or when the domestic hot water target temperature is set higher than 60C. Install a scald protection (domestic hot water mixing construction (e.g. VTA32, 15 60 16).

3.7 Connect the condensate drain
The condensate, forming during the cooling of the combustion gases in the boiler and in the flue gas system is dumped through the condensate tube into the storage container. By means of a permanent neutralisation filling it is neutralised and subsequently it is dumped into the sewer system through the safety overflow connection (fig. 3-10).

Connection
Direct condensation drain pipe (not included) with constant slope and with free inflow to the drains pipe. The complete outlet must not be lockable and must discharge the condensation and any medium leaking due to damage (drinking water, buffer or heating water) outwards visibly (e.g. hose to flow drain or transparent outlet pipe). Check the condensate drain section for leakage.

3.9 Establish connection and electrical equipment
WARNING! Live parts can cause an electric shock on contact and cause fatal burns or injuries. Before beginning work on live parts, disconnect them from the power supply (switch off fuse, main switch) and secure against unintentional restart. The electrical connection should only be performed by electrical engineers in compliance with valid standards and guidelines as well as the specifications of the energy supply company. All ROTEX GSU control and safety devices are connected, tested and ready for use. Modifications on the electrical installation are dangerous and prohibited. Any resulting damages will be borne by the user/owner alone. There are two 3 m flexible cables connected inside the device for the mains connection and for the external temperature sensor; they are located in the control panel on the circuit board. Only the optional applications (e.g. mixer circuit, circulation pump, flue gas temperature probe) still have to be connected to the boiler control panel.

Electrical connection of the control unit


Check the supply voltage (~230 V, 50 Hz). Disconnect the junction box of the domestic installation. Connect the cables for connecting to the mains in the junction box. Ensure that the polarity is correct. Restore power supply to the junction box of the domestic electrical installation.

3.10 Temperature sensor
3.10.1 General instructions for the temperature sensors
The ROTEX GSU comes with a weather-proof control unit of the flow temperature. For this function an exterior temperature sensor (enclosed in the ROTEX GSU scope of delivery) is necessary. The 3 m long flexible cable for the exterior temperature sensor is internally already connected and plugged into the control panel to the connection circuit board. The temperatures captured by the unit's internal temperature probes (inflow and return flow temperature sensor, flue gas temperature probe) are used for the output control of the burner and for fault detection. They are already factory-connected and can be plugged directly to the respective sensor, if they are to be swapped. The storage temperature probe is mounted at the factory and clamped (PTC resistance). The mixer circuit inflow sensor (TMKF, 15 60 62) is required for the control of the mixer circuit . Additional information on the operating state is provided by a flue gas temperature probe (TAGF1, 15 70 52).

The electronic control detects the existing sensor configuration automatically when switching on the ROTEX GSU. Additional information and a detailed description can be found in the documentation "ROTEX control system". This documentation is included in the scope of delivery.

3.10.2 Connecting the temperature sensor


CAUTION! Using unapproved temperature sensors or those which do not match the device can cause considerable malfunctioning in the regular operation of the ROTEX GSU, damaging the device control. Exclusively use the outside temperature probe included with the machine.

External temperature sensor


Choose a location at about one third of the building height (minimum distance from floor: 2 m) at the coldest side of the building (North or North-East). Thereby, exclude the proximity of external heat sources (chimney, air shafts) and direct sunshine. Place external temperature sensors in such a way that the cable exit points face downwards (prevents humidity ingress). CAUTION! The parallel routing of sensor and mains lines within an installation pipe can cause considerable malfunctioning in the regular operation of the ROTEX GSU. Always lay the sensor line separately. Lay probe line and connect to the ROTEX GSU control panel. Connect the external temperature sensors with a dual core cable (minimum cross section 1 mm2).

Mixer circuit flow probe (accessory)


Connect the sensor line to the sensor plug J8 (see fig. 3-12).

Flue gas temperature probe (Accessory)


Pull out sensor plug J10 with closing resistance. Plug the sensor cable (connection set) onto the circuit board.

3.13 Filling the system
Adjusting the pressure gauge
The correct minimum pressure marking must be set on the pressure gauge glass before filling the system for the first time: Rotate the pressure gauge glass (fig. 2-1, pos. 31) in such a way that the minimum pressure marking corresponds to the system height +2 m (1 m water column corresponds to 0.1 bar). After completing the installation, fill ROTEX GSU in the following sequence:

1. Filling the hot water heat exchanger


Open the shut-off valve of the cold water supply line. Open the withdrawal tap connection for hot water, so that you can set the highest possible tapping quantity. Once water has been discharged from the tap connections, do not interrupt the cold water inflow; this will ensure that the heat exchanger will be fully vented and that any impurities or residue will be discharged.

2. Filling the storage tank


WARNING! Escape of flue gas from the system will be damaging to health. Before commissioning the ROTEX GSU, fill the storage tank container up to the overflow mark. GSU with installed Solaris System Connect the filling hose with return flow inhibitor (") to the KFE cock on the control and pump unit (RPS). Fill the storage container, until water exits out of the condensate overflow. GSU without installed Solaris System Either connect the filler hose to the enclosed hose socket and this socket to the upper lateral container connector (see fig. 2-1, pos. 12a) or insert the hose into the Solaris flow connection (fig. 2-1, pos. 7). Fill storage tank container until water flow out of the condensation overflow drain.

3. Filling the heating system and the storage tank charging circuit
WARNING! Contamination of drinking water endangers the health. When filling the heating system, prevent the boiler water from flowing back into the drinking water line. Engage the hand lever on the 3-way switch valve (see fig. 3-11) in the centre position (only possible when de-energised/in the delivered condition). The centre position is on stable, when the 3-way switch valve has not power. The 3-way-switch valve unlocks automatically, when the voltage at the drive motor for the valve position AB-A is applied (storage tank charging). To ensure a complete ventilation, the 3-way switch valve must be unlocked earliest one hour after commissioning the plant. Connect the filling hose with return prevention device (") to the filling and draining fittings (KFE cock, fig. 2-1, pos. 35) and secure against sliding by using a hose clamp. Open water cock on the supply line. Open the KFE cock and observe the pressure gauge (fig. 2-1, pos. 31). Fill the system with water until the marking of the system overpressure is roughly in the centre of the green range of the pressure gauge display. Shut off the KFE cock. Vent the entire heating network (open the system control valves). Check the water pressure on the pressure gauge again and top up with water if necessary. Close the KFE cock, remove the filling hose with return prevention device from the filling and draining fittings.

WARNING! A ROTEX GSU that is installed or started incorrectly may not operate properly and is dangerous for the health and safety of individuals. Only heating engineers, authorised and trained by gas and energy supply companies are allowed to start up the ROTEX GSU. CAUTION! A ROTEX GSU not put into operation properly can lead to damage to property and the environment. Observe the regulations in VDI 2035 in order to avoid corrosion and deposits. Measures for desalination, softening or hardness stabilization are necessary, if the filling and top-up water has a high total hardness (>3 mmol/l - sum of the calcium and magnesium concentrations, calculated as calcium carbonate). We recommend Fernox scale and corrosion protection agent KSK ( 15 60 50). During the plant operation, the water pressure at the manometer (green area) must be checked at regular intervals. If necessary, readjust by topping up. Incorrect start-up makes the manufacturer's guarantee for the unit void. If you have questions, please contact our Technical Customer Service.

4.1

Initial start-up
After the ROTEX GSU has been erected and fully connected, it can be put into service by skilled staff.

4.1.1 Requirements
The ROTEX GSU is fully connected. The heating and hot water system are filled and charged with the right pressure. The storage tank is filled to the overflow point. The control valves of the heating system are open.

4.1.2 Tests prior to start-up


Check all connections for leakage. Check all points of the enclosed check list (see section 4.2). Log the test results on the checklist. The gas condensing boiler can only be provisionally put into service if all points on the checklist can be answered with Yes.

4.1.3 Start-up
Switch on the mains switch. Wait for the start phase. Check the resistance in the flue gas line (see chapter 3.5). Set the operating temperature for manual operation. To do so, activate the manual key approx. 5 sec and set the operating temperature on the rotary switch. Check the burner adjustments with a flue gas analyser and readjust if necessary, (see chapter 6.3 "Burner setting").

6 x Gas burner
Controlling the burner output
The control system determines continually the necessary flow temperature (according to the set operating parameters) and transmits the temperature to the gas burner combustion controller ESYS. The combustion controller calculates the required burner output from the target value and the values from the flow and the return flow temperature sensor. The determined output is passed to the burner fan as a PWM signal. The burner fan immediately adjusts the gas fan speed and as such the combustion air flow. The gas controller controls the gas volume accordingly.

Gas/air compound control


The gas/air compound control (pneumatic compound) ensures that the CO2 flow is maintained at a suitable level for each output and is set by the adjusting screw for the gas/air mix (fig. 6-3, pos. 11) and by the adjusting screw of the gas pressure controller (fig. 6-3, pos. 12) if required. The burner immediately responds to every change in the air flow volume through the gas/air compound control with a corresponding change in the gas flow volume. The gas/air compound control (pneumatic compound) consists of a Venturi nozzle with a ring-shaped gas inlet and a gas pressure controller. A vacuum forms in the centre of the Venturi nozzle depending on the volume flow of the combustible air. This causes the gas to be sucked into the centre of the Venturi nozzle, conveyed through the burner fan to the burner surface and optimally mixed. The gas valve can be adjusted for supply pressures from 5 to 60 mbar (zero pressure controller).

6.2

Unlocking in the event of malfunction shutdown


Safety function
The gas-combustion controller ESYS starts and monitors the firing program process. This is followed by a fault shutdown: if the starting speed of the burner fan is not achieved, if a flame signal is present during pre-ventilation, if no flame is formed at the start (fuel release) after 5 sec (safety period) (5 start attempts), if no flame is able to start or a flame failure during operation, or failed program repetition.

Unlocking the burner


The fault shutdown of the burner is displayed by "E" and a two-digit fault code on the display of the boiler control panel. Unlock the burner by briefly pressing the button on the control panel (fig. 5-1, pos. 13) (max. 5x per hour). If there are several shutdowns due to faults successively, check the heating system (e.g. flue system, fuel supply).

6.3

Burner setting
DANGER OF EXPLOSION! Escaping gas is a direct threat to human health and safety. Even a few sparks can cause major explosions. Before working on gas carrying parts, always close the main gas stop valve of the system. If you can smell gas, air the room thoroughly. Do not fan any open fire or operate any electrical switches. Only heating specialists authorised and trained by the gas or power supply company should be allowed to work on gas-conducting parts. The ROTEX GSU gas burners can be equipped with various blowers ex factory, which are operated with various speed settings. For the device types GSU 530S(F)-e and GSU 535S(F)-e it may also be necessary, to exchange the flame tube insert to adjust the desired burner output. This flame tube insert (FRE, E 15 00 600) Type B, if required, must be ordered separately. The respective modification instruction is enclosed in the scope of delivery for the flame tube insert.

Possible burner configurations with adjustment ranges

Before adjustments to the burner can be made it must be determined, which burner configuration is installed. The blower type can be obtained from the type plate on the blower (in the proximity of the outlet flange at the blower housing). If changes to the performance settings of the burner or a changeover to a new gas type must be made, these changes must be documented in the operating manual and entered onto the settings type plate (fig. 2-1, pos. 40 and fig. 6-4). The changeover must be provided with the date of implementation and the signature of the installer. If the system is changed to a different gas type, a respective unit sticker must be adhered to the red cover of the combustion controller ESYS (see also section 6.3.4).

6.3.2 Checking and setting the burner
The gas burner has been factory-set for a certain gas type. The preset gas type and the designated gas inlet pressure are indicated on the yellow sticker placed on the burner housing. Inspecting the burner capacity with a flue gas analyser In chimney sweep mode with maximum (full) load, In chimney sweep mode with minimum (basic) load. With the chimney sweep button, the settings for full load (parameter 02) and basic load (parameter 04) in the parameter level of combustion controller can be actuated. Within the permissible limit values (see tab. 6-2 to tab. 6-5), these settings can be adjusted individually to the respective system requirements.

Auxiliary resources
Flue gas analysis device. Pressure meter for measuring gas pressure.

Checking and setting (observe the sequence)


1. Inspect the pre-settings, so that the burner is set to the correct gas type and the correct gas inlet pressure. If the test gas indication on the yellow sticker on the burner housing varies from the test gas associated to the available gas type or if the stated value deviates from the permissible gas inlet pressure, the burner must be converted to the local conditions (see section 6.3.3 to 6.3.6). 2. 3. 4. Turn the screw in the gas inlet pressure measuring connection (fig. 6-3, pos. 9) anticlockwise by half a turn and push up the measuring hose of the pressure meter. Open the gas stopcock. Measure the gas inlet pressure (idle pressure) and compare it with the target value (according to tab. 11 -5). Leave the measuring instrument connected. If the gas inlet pressure (resting pressure) is outside the set value range: Inform your gas supply company or check the pressure regulator (for liquid gas). 5. 6. 7. Open the heating valves. Switch on ROTEX GSU with main switch. Switch on the chimney sweep function for the full load. If the burner does not start, even with the power and gas supply properly connected and with the flue gas path free, a new burner basic setting must be carried out (see section. 6.3.3). 8. 9. Connect the flue gas analysis unit. Check flow pressure. The gas inlet flow pressure must not fall essentially below the idle pressure minus the pressure loss in the gas connection hose (see chapter 11 "Technical data"). If the flow pressure is too low, the burner output also drops. 10. If the measured flue gas values do not change anymore (for the soonest 3 min after the start of the burner), measure the CO2-content and the O2-content. Compare the measured values with the specified setting values (see section 6.3.1). 11. If the CO2 concentration is outside 0.2% or the O2 concentration is outside 0.1% of the set target values: Readjust burner using the adjusting screw for the gas/air mixture (fig. 6-3, pos. 11): Left turn (counter clockwise) Right turn (clockwise) more gas: O2p, CO2 n less gas: O2n, CO2 p

12. Set the chimney sweep function for minimum load. 13. If the measured flue gas values do not change anymore (for the soonest 2 min after energy change), measure the CO2content and O2-content. Compare the measured values with the specified setting values (see section 6.3.1).

14. If the CO2 concentration is outside 0.2% or the O2 concentration is outside 0.1% of the set target values or the burner whistles: Readjust the burner using the adjusting screw for the gas pressure controller (fig. 6-3, pos. 12) (see section 6.3.6): Left turn (counter clockwise) Right turn (clockwise) less gas outlet pressure: O2n, CO2 p more gas outlet pressure: O2p, CO2 n Adjustment procedure is finished. Repeat the steps 8-14.

15. Set the chimney sweep function for maximum load and recheck the combustion values. The values adjust according to the specifications (compare step 8) The values adjust not according to the specifications

16. All changes of the output setting values must be entered on the Settings type plate beneath the type plate and in the operating manual.

6.3.3 Carrying out the basic setting on the burner.


If the burner does not start, even with the power and gas supply properly connected and with the flue gas path free, a new burner basic setting must be carried out see section.

Basic setting

FESYS Output parameter setting value for the control system n Blower speed Fig. 6-9 Determining the value FX for the output setting through the control system

Limiting the maximum burner output


The limiting of the maximum burner output would be advisable, for example, in the event of better sourcing charges for lower installed outputs. Enter the access code for the heating engineering and request the parameter level "Automatic firing unit". Enter the maximum speed of the burner fan for the heating mode (parameter 2). Enter the maximum speed of the burner fan for the hot water charging mode (parameter 3). Enter the output change on the settings type plate and in the operating manual and confirm with signature.

Limiting the minimum burner output


Raising the minimum burner output would be advisable, for example, if the flue gas side resistance were relatively high and the flame became unstable with a minimum load, or if the partial load demands were not fulfilled when designing the flue gas system. Enter the access code for the heating engineering and request the parameter level "Automatic firing unit". Enter the minimum speed for the burner fan (parameter 4). Enter the output change on the settings type plate and in the operating manual and confirm with signature.

Adjusting the starting output


Usually, the burner start is problem free and quiet, if the burner adjustment has been completed correctly (see section 6.3.2) with the factory set starting output. If during the starting process an obvious deflagration or whistling sound occur, or several starting attempts are necessary on a regular basis, a slight change in the starting output may remedy the occurrences. For deflagrations: Reduce the starting output. For starting problems such as burner whistling or flame forming: Increase the starting output. To change the starting output: Enter the access code for the heating engineering and request the parameter level "Automatic firing unit". Enter the starting speed for the burner fan (parameter 5). Enter the performance changes in the operational handbook and confirm with your signature.

6.3.6 Setting the gas pressure controller


The gas valves are factory-set. As a rule, no changes should be made to the gas pressure controller. The adjusting screw (fig. 6-3, pos. 12) is hidden under a cover. If the set value for basic load deviates to much from the target value or if the burner tends to whistle: Adjust the adjusting screw for the gas pressure controller (fig. 6-3, pos. 12) in small steps (maximum half a turn per adjustment step). After each adjusting step, wait at least 2 minutes. Check the changes in the combustion quality with a flue gas analyser. If the burner produces noises in the lowest output setting (basic load) (weather based!): set the min. output to a higher value.

7 x Hydraulic connection
7 7.1 Hydraulic connection Important information on the hydraulic connection

To avoid damage to persons and things, please observe the instructions for the hydraulic system connection of the ROTEX GSU.

Protection against scalding


During operation of the ROTEX GSU, the storage tank temperature may exceed 60C, particularly when solar power is used. For this reason, install a scald protection (domestic hot water mixing construction, e.g. VTA32, 15 60 16) when installing the system.

Prevention of emission of exhaust gas


To prevent the emission of exhaust gas, before commissioning the ROTEX GSU, the storage tank container must be filled up to the overflow mark.

Protection against corrosion


In a few regions, the water supply companies supply aggressive drinking water, which can cause corrosion damage, even with high-quality stainless steels. Check with your water supply works whether corrosion problems can occur when using hot water storage made of special steel in your area. Also take into account the requirements of quality of heating water (see chapter 1.5.4). Suitable water treatment may be required.

Maximum energy utilisation


The device achieves the most effective energy utilisation when the return flow temperatures are as low as possible. This requires hydraulic balancing of the heating system, which is often also a prerequisite for conveying equipment.

7.2

Storage tank
Design
All plastic, double shell design (corrosion-free). Space between internal and external tanks foamed up with high heat insulation (low surface losses). External wall 3-4 mm thick (impact-resistant and shockproof).

Method of operation
The pressure-less storage water serves as water storage medium. Useful heat is supplied and led out by completely submerged, helically intertwined stainless steel corrugated tubes (1.4404). The hot water zone in the storage tank container acts as combination of heat accumulator and flow heater (see fig. 2-2 and fig. 2-3). The cold water flowing back after hot water removal is first guided to the bottom of the storage tank container and cools the storage area maximum. The hot water zone is heated up, if necessary, with the gas condensing boiler. Water flows through the heat exchanger for storage charging (SL-WT) from top to bottom. This improves efficiency and the yield of the solar heating system. On its way to the top, the domestic water continuously absorbs the heat of the storage tank water. The flow direction, operating on the principle of counter-flow, and the coil-shaped heat exchanger create a pronounced temperature layering in the hot water storage tank. As high temperatures can be maintained for a very long time in the upper section of the storage tank, a high hot water output is achieved even if water is drawn off over a long period of time. For the models GSU 520S(F)-e and GSU 530S(F)-e the SL-WT ends approx. 40 cm above the container floor. Only the hot water zone above it is heated by the boiler. The tank volume below it is heated only on using the solar energy. For the models GSU 320(F)-e and GSU 535(F)-e the SL-WT is pulled down all the way to the container floor. The total storage volume is heated by the boiler (higher standby hot water capacity).

Water hygiene
The separation of pressure-less storage water and hot water flowing into the corrugated pipe heat exchanger secures the optimum water hygiene of the ROTEX GSU: There are no zones with a low flow rate or zones that are not heated on the hot water side. It is impossible for sludge, rust or other sediments to be deposited, as can be the case with other large volume tanks. The water fed into the system first is also discharged first (first in, first out principle).

52

FA ROTEX GSU - 04/2012

7 x Hydraulic connection
Storage water heating
For the initial start-up, the storage tank will be filled once with unpressurized storage water, which will later on not be exchanged anymore. The storage water can be heated in two different ways: through the integrated gas condensing boiler, by a ROTEX solar installation additionally connected directly to the zero pressure area, through another heat source directly connected to the pressure-less area (e.g. hot water heat pump).

Maintenance
Thermal and pressure expansion and the high flow rates in the heat exchangers cause limescale residue to peel away; this residue is rinsed out and is not deposited. On the storage water side, dissolved lime can result only once in the filled water. Thanks to the smooth surface of the stainless steel corrugated pipe heat exchanger, no limescale crust forms (no reduction in heat transfer performance over time). Corrosion protection devices (e.g. reactive anodes) are not needed. This means that associated maintenance work, e.g. changing the protective anodes or cleaning the storage tank, does not need to be carried out. At the annual boiler inspection, only the water level is checked and topped up if necessary (see chapter 8.2.2).

8 8.1 Service and maintenance General overview of inspection and maintenance

Regular inspection and maintenance of the heating system reduces energy consumption and ensures a long life and smooth operation. Have the inspection and maintenance carried out by authorised and trained heating engineers once a year and, if possible, before the heating period. This will avoid malfunctions during the heating period. ROTEX recommends an inspection and maintenance contract to ensure regular inspection and maintenance.

Tests during annual inspection


General condition of the heating system, visual inspection of connections and conduits. Condensate drain, flue gas temperature and possibly optional flue gas temperature sensor. Burner operation and burner settings.

Maintenance work to be carried out annually


Cleaning the burner components, the combustion chamber and the heating surfaces. Cleaning of the storage container and the silencer hood. Replacement of the wearing parts (if required). Documentation of the maintenance work in the operating manual. Before recommissioning the ROTEX GSU after maintenance work the conditions for commissioning as per chapter 4.2 must be checked and fulfilled.

8.2

Service and maintenance tasks


WARNING! Live parts can cause an electric shock on contact and cause fatal burns or injuries. Before beginning the maintenance work, disconnect the ROTEX GSU from the power supply (fuse, shut off main switch) and secure against unintentional restart. CAUTION! Danger of burning - hot surfaces. Let the burner cool down for a reasonably long time before maintenance and service work. Wear protective gloves.

Remove the silencer hood.


For inspection and maintenance, it is necessary to remove the silencer hood placed on the storage tank.
1 2 3 Remove the fixing screws. Tilt the silencer hood. Lift off the silencer hood towards the front.

8.2.1 Checking the connections and pipes
WARNING! Incorrect conducted work on live and gas carrying components can endanger the life and health of personnel and impair the function of the GasSolarUnit. Damage repair to live or gas carrying components of the ROTEX GSU must only be conducted by heating engineers that are authorised and approved through the gas or energy supply company. Inspect all (flue) gas and water carrying components and connections for leakages and system integrity. If damaged, determine the cause and replace the damaged parts. Check all components of the flue system for leakage and damage. Repair damaged parts or replace them. Check all electrical components, connections and conduits. Repair damaged parts.

8.2.2 Checking and cleaning the condensate drain.


The connection and leakage line of the condensate drain must be free from impurities. If a Solaris system (Drain-Back-System) is connected and in operation, shut down this system and drain the collectors. Open the condensate drain (connection and drain conduit). Check that the condensate drain is free from blockages and clean if necessary. Unscrew the overflow hose. Visual inspection of container filling level (water level at the overflow rim). If necessary, correct the fill level; determine the reason for the low water level and remedy it. Check the overflow hose connection and drain section for leakage, unobstructed flow and gradient.

Fig. 8-2

Check condensation water drain

The condensation is light acid. It is conducted into the pressureless area of the storage tank. This ensures that the storage container is always completely filled up during the normal system operation. A long-term neutralisation filling in the container ensures that the fluid leaving the container has neutral pH. Any depositions remain in the pressureless area of the container.

8.2.3 Checking and cleaning the burner


DANGER OF EXPLOSION! Escaping gas is a direct threat to human health and safety. Even a few sparks can cause major explosions. Only loosen the two clamping plates at the burner flange, (secured with locking paint), if the flame tube insert must be replaced. When re-installing the burner, attach the ground cable under one of the 4 fastening nuts for the burner flange. Only heating specialists authorised and trained by the gas or power supply company should be allowed to work on gas-conducting parts. As a rule, the burner does not wear. If contaminations or unsatisfactory combustion values are detected, the burner must be removed (see chapter 6.4 "Dismantling the burner"), cleaned and, if necessary, re-adjusted (see chapter 6.3 "Burner setting").

Cleaning the combustion chamber
WARNING! Live parts can cause an electric shock on contact and cause fatal burns or injuries. Before beginning the maintenance work at the burner, disconnect the ROTEX GSU from the power supply (fuse, shut off main switch) and secure against unintentional restart. WARNING! Danger of burning - hot surfaces. Let the burner cool down for a reasonably long time before maintenance and service work. Wear protective gloves. Remove the burner (see chapter 6.4 "Dismantling the burner") Rinse the flue gas path with clean water (hose or steam jet device in the open combustion chamber).

Checking the burner


Checking the burner includes visually inspecting the burner's condition as well as making flue gas measurements. For exact information regarding the checking and setting of the burner, see chapter 6.3 "Burner setting". For exact information regarding the assembly and disassembly of the burner, see chapter 6.4 "Dismantling the burner". The scope of inspection includes: Clean the burner surface (cloth, plastic brush). Conduct a visual inspection of the ignition and ionisation electrodes for damages and correct electrode gap (see chapter 6.3.7 "Setting ignition and Ionisation electrodes"). In the course of maintenance work, the safety relevant components must be additionally inspected for the expiration of their nominal service life: Combustion controller ESYS: 10 years or 250,000 burner starts, Safety gas control block 10 years or 250,000 burner starts, Overpressure safety valve: 10 years. If necessary, replace faulty parts. Mount burner in combustion chamber. Check the gas line for leakage. Put the burner into operation and let it run for about 5 minutes in the chimney sweep position. Check combustion values: Flue gas temperature at measuring sockets of the flue gas pipe. (Target value < 80C), O2- or CO2-content (see chapter 6.3.1 "Setting values"), CO content (target value < 50 ppm). If the combustion values lie not within the target range, the burner must be adjusted according to chapter 6.3 "Burner setting". We recommend, to enter all measured values and the conducted work with the date and signature into the enclosed operating handbook.

10 x Taking out of service


10 10.1 Taking out of service Temporary shutdown

CAUTION! A heating system which is shut down can freeze in the event of frost and may suffer damage. Drain the heating system that is shut down if there is danger of frost. If the heating system is not drained, the gas and power supplies must be secured and the main switch must remain switched on. If no heat and no hot water supply is needed for a long time, the ROTEX GSU can be shut up temporarily. However, ROTEX recommends, to set the system into stand-by operation (see documentation "ROTEX-control") and to logoff the heating and domestic hot water supply. The heating system is then protected from frost. The pumps and valve protection functions are active. If there is a danger of frost, and the gas and power supply cannot be guaranteed, then the GSU must be emptied, suitable antifreeze measures must be adopted for the connected heating system and hot water storage tank (e.g. draining). If there is danger of frost in case of unsafe gas and power supply only for a few days, due to the excellent heat insulation, the emptying of the ROTEX GSU can be dispensed with if the storage temperature is observed regularly and does not drop below +3C. However, there is no frost protection for the connected heat distribution system through this.

Emptying storage tank container


Switch off the main switch and secure against restarting. Close gas stopcock. Connect the hose and hose connection from the accessories set to the rear of the solar panel (only this particular hose will open the foot valve automatically). In the connected Solaris system, use KFE cock on Solaris return. Drain the tank's water content.

Emptying heating circuit and drinking water heat exchanger


Switch off the main switch and secure against restarting. Close gas stopcock. Disconnect the heating flow and return flow, as well as the cold water inflow and the hot water outflow. Connect drain hoses in hoses in such a way that the hose opening is leakproof on the floor. Allow heat exchanger to run idle according to pipette principle.

10.2 Final decommissioning and disposal


For final shutdown of the ROTEX GSU decommissioned (see section 10.1), disconnect it from all electrical, gas and water connections, disposed off in a professional manner.

Recommendations for disposal


The ROTEX GSU has an environmentally friendly design. During the disposal process, the only waste created is that which can be used for material or thermal recycling. The materials used that are suitable for recycling can be sorted into individual types. ROTEX has complied with the standards for environmentally-friendly disposal as a result of the environmentallyfriendly design of the GSU. Proper disposal in compliance with the respective national regulations of the country of use is the responsibility of the user/owner.

Check measurement ROTEX THETA 23R+


The check measurement can be implemented through a plain selectable automatic function (see the enclosed "quick-reference manual" or the "Operating manual ROTEX-Control system". Press manual button (fig. 5-1, pos. 13). The gas condensing boiler controls the maximum boiler temperature for a period of 20 minutes. Press the manual key again. The gas condensing boiler regulates back to the minimum output. The running time for this setting is also 20 minutes. Pressing the button again within these 20 minutes will prematurely terminate the emission measurement.
