Compact 3010 boiler fitted in caravans, motor

BOILER DESIGN
The boiler consists of three eccentrically-fitted
cylinders (heat exchanger, water jacket for the
heating system and, outermost, water jacket for
hot water). The two outer pipes, and their ends
and connections, are made of stainless steel,
while the heat exchanger is made of aluminium.
The heat exchanger is divided into two semi-
circles. The burner is located in the upper
half, being the combustion chamber, and
the combustion gases are expelled through
the lower half. The burner unit is fitted on
the end of the heat exchanger. It consists
of a combustion fan, burner, solenoid valve
and intake/exhaust connections. Two heating
cartridges are fitted to the water jacket of the
heating system. Maximum output is 2 or 3 kW,
depending on model.
DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
Using LPG
WhenLPGoperationisselectedonthecontrol
panel, the combustion fan starts. When the
fan speed is correct, it signals the circuit board
that the boiler can be lit. The circuit board
sends ignition sparks to the spark plug at the
same time as it sends electricity to the solenoid
valve, which opens to allow gas in. The burner
ignites, and a sensor transmits a signal back
to the circuit board that the boiler is lit, and
the ignition spark stops. The burner keeps
burning until the boiler thermostat or the room
thermostat reaches the set temperature reading.
Should the boiler go out for any reason, the
sensor is activated and a new attempt is made
to start the boiler (in about 10 seconds).
Using the heating cartridge
Electrical operation is selected on the control
panel, the 12-volt relays on the circuit board
trip, allowing the 230 volt supply to reach the
electrical elements.
The heating cartridge is controlled in the same
way as the gas boiler.
Warm water
When only warm water is required, for
example during the summer, no settings need
to be made, the boiler will look after this
function automatically.
The pump will only start when the temperature
in the vehicle is lower than the set temperature
(see item 4, Control Panel). If the vehicle
temperature is higher, the pump will not start.
