Instruction manual BFM 13

In this appliance, the cold water enters the bottom of the tank through the cold
water inlet (14). The heat of combustion is conducted to the water by the
combustion chamber (50) and heat exchanger (11). The heated tap water
leaves the tank through the hot water outlet (2). Once the appliance is
completely filled with water, it will constantly be under mains water pressure.
When hot water is drawn from the appliance, it is immediately replenished with
cold water.
The air required for combustion is forced into the combustion chamber by the
fan.
The gas required for combustion flows via the gas control valve (16) in the
manifold. The gas control valve for the BFM 120 is non-standard (see box).
Orifices are mounted in the manifold. The gas is injected into the burner bars at
pressure from these orifices (36). The burner bars together form the burner tray.
The injection of gas into the burner bars also draws in the primary air from the
combustion chamber, which is required for combustion. The narrow opening in
the orifice causes the gas flow to accelerate. This in turn causes a partial
vacuum. It is this partial vacuum that draws in the air (the Venturi effect).
Ignition of the gas/air mixture takes place in two stages. First, the pilot flame is
ignited by a spark igniter. This pilot flame then ensures that the complete ignition
takes place.
The flue gases released by this combustion are led through the heat exchanger.
The heat exchanger is composed of flue tubes that contain flue baffles. These
retard the flow of the flue gases, thereby increasing the thermal efficiency of the
appliance.
The flue gases are exhausted from the appliance via the top box (46). The top
box of the BFM 100 and 120 is non-standard (see box).
An air distribution plate (50) mounted below the burner tray radiation shield also
serves as a radiation shield. Any condensation that forms is drained towards the
siphon via the air distribution plate.
The PU insulation layer (24) prevents heat loss. The inside of the tank is
enamelled to protect against corrosion. The anodes (9) offer extra protection.
2.3 The appliance's
heating cycle
The entire appliance is controlled by the burner control (40) and the control
thermostat (41) or frost thermostat (44). The control thermostat and frost
thermostat both independently measure the water temperature (T
water
). The
appliance's heating cycle is activated as soon as T
water
falls below the threshold
value (T
set
). The value of T
set
depends on the selected mode of the
appliance (8.2 "
Operating modes"). When the appliance is in OFF mode (frost
protection), this value is determined by the frost thermostat (threshold value =
20 °C). When the appliance is in ’ON mode’, the threshold value can be set via
the control thermostat (± 40 °C - ± 70 °C).
The instant T
water
falls below T
set
, the appropriate thermostat (control or frost)
will close, and the burner control will identify a heat demand. The gas control
valve will open, and the gas will mix with air. This mixture is ignited by the spark
igniter, and the water becomes heated. As soon as T
water
rises above T
set
, the
thermostats will open once more. The heat demand is suspended, and the
burner control stops the heating cycle.
The thermostats have a certain margin both when opening and when closing.
We refer to this margin as hysteresis. The hysteresis cannot be adjusted.
