Product Description
Boilers cast iron sections are available in 6 versions from 80 to 300 kW and are for use on oil and gas boilers. They
are compliant with European Directives and CE approved OPTIMAZ. The introduction and the placement of the boiler
in the boiler room are facilitated by the sections being separated. The assembly is rapid with conical steel nipples. A
rope of fiberglass between the sections, offers an absolute guarantee of sealing the flue gas, even at a pressure in
the combustion chamber and the various flues. A cylindrical combustion chamber is spacious to ensure a perfect
formation of the flame on the burner this avoids harmful emissions whether on oil or gas. The evacuation of
combustion gases takes place following the known system of "TRIPLE PASS" ensuring optimum heat transfer and
low NOx emissions. A revolving door, fully insulated with respect, guarantee easy access inside the boiler. The result
is a simple and effective maintenance.

Boilers cast iron Sections of the feature of modern technology the "JETSTREAM" offers new perspectives. This
technology was developed specifically to prevent condensation of gas in the boiler. The "JETSTREAM" is based on
increasing the temperature of the hot water circulating in the boiler. This is done in the form of a jet effect, which is
caused by a tube (injector) of distribution set out in the back of the boiler return water facility is injected into the boiler
through the distributor. This injection causes a decrease in pressure at the end of the injector, which creates a
depression. This vacuum sucks the hot water in the boiler and mixes with cold water and hot water. Thus the
condensation of gas in the boiler is removed. A stream of hot water in the rear sections of the boiler protects against
excessive thermal shock. (Fig. 1)
Fig. 2
The TRYON 3 JETSTREAM Fig. 2 operates in the mode of non-condensation when the lowest temperatures of the
water that returns to the boiler, shown in table below are maintained at their thermal equilibrium and their normal heat
flow.

Oil Supply
MK series boilers can only be fired with liquid fuels having following specifications:
Kerosene viscosity at 20 C: 1.2 cSt or viscosity at 100 F: 28 Second
Light oil (EL) viscosity at 20 C: 4- 6 max cSt or viscosity at 100 F: 35 Second
Gasoil (D) viscosity at 20 C: 4- 6 max cSt or viscosity at 100 F: 35 Second
Light/medium fuel oil viscosity at 50 C: 150 cSt max or viscosity at 100 F: 625 Second
In case of firing with fuel oils, the heat input to boiler must always be slightly reduced to required values in order to perform better at
related outputs of boiler as described in technical boiler data. Any failure due to lack of technical precautions, firing with fuels not
suitable for boilers, and operation without taking recommendations given further in this manual into consideration, will always be in
responsibility of end-user.
A single pipe oil supply with oil at a slight positive pressure is generally required though the burners own oil pumps can provide some
lift of the oil depending on the volume flow and the lift required. For dual fuel burners a two pipe oil supply system is generally
recommended unless the burner is fitted with an oil pump clutch. An oil filter and isolating valve should be provided and the burner
connected to the oil supply with a flexible oil hose. The hose and filter are generally supplied with the burner.
Gas Supply
The local gas supply authority should always be contacted at the design state to ensure an adequate supply is available. An existing
service pipe must not be used without prior consultation with the local gas supply authority and the supply must be made through a
suitable meter.
The matching of burner model, burner and complete gas train size must be carried out in accordance with supplied inlet gas pressure
and fuel type to be fired. When sizing the burner and gas train, all pressure losses inside the boiler, burner and gas train and in piping
from burner inlet to main gas meter must always be taken into consideration. A reduce in boiler output due to wrong matching of any
component should be avoided before installation of whole system.
Burner
MK boiler must be fired only with a CE APPROVED BURNER. MHS Boilers Ltd will not be held responsible for any damage of failure
due to use of a non approved burner.
It is not recommended to increase the diameter of hole in the middle of front refractory to make the mounting of burner easier. If there
is a space left between the hole in front door refractory and burner tube after the mounting, this space must be fed with rock-wool or
ceramic-fibre based insulation material to improve heat insulation. Otherwise, further heat loss may result in damage on front door.
Should the diameter of burner head is greater than that of the hole in front door refractory, the diameter of the hole must be increased
so that the burner passes smoothly through the hole. Front refractory must be protected against breaking during mounting and
dismounting of burner.
Pressurized burner of 2800 rpm (blowing type) must be used with the boiler. Barrel of the burner to be mounted on the boiler should
fit the burner connection mouth depth, indicated in the technical specifications table.

Water side of boiler
The fully water cooled sections are joined by cast iron conical nipples, and distribution pipe fitted to the return ensures even the
temperature distribution throughout the boiler. The cast iron sections are to BS.1452 Grade 200 with 7 mm wall thickness. Return and
flow connections to heating system are provided by stub-pipes at the rear of the boiler, outside the casing.
Under no circumstances should the boiler be fired when its circulation volume is less than a recommended minimum volume
calculated according to the following formula:
The following table provides hydraulic resistances at various water volumes relative to boiler Dt flow/return. The difference between
flow and return temperatures of the boiler should not be greater than 20 C to provide convenient operating conditions in the boiler:
Flue design and chimney installation
Boilers must be connected to a chimney by using the shortest flue canal possible which should be insulated by mineral wool or similar
material. Flue canal must be placed at a rising slope of 10°-45° between flue and chimney. Conditions creating higher resistance to
gas flow such as elbows should be avoided in flue canal. The flue canal outlet to the boiler should not support the weight of chimney.
At the discharge from the boiler, the flue gasses should be in a balanced state, consequently, the function of the chimney is only for
the disposal of the flue gasses to atmosphere. Chimney calculations should be carried out in compliance with the standards.
Conditions of existing chimney should be checked and proper precautions should be taken against excessive cooling and
condensation (such as applying a chimney sheet made of stainless steel grade 316 and surrounding with insulation). Positive draught
conditions must be avoided. Negative draught conditions should be contained within -3 mm wg for optimum boiler performance.

The following table shows typical flue gas volumes at gross flue temperature of 190°C and ambient air temperature of 20°C.
PREPARATIONS BEFORE ASSEMBLY
Boiler room arrangement
Boiler room should not be used for any other applications; floor should always be kept dry and clean. Any obstacles in front of
ventilation openings must be avoided. The boiler room air openings must conform to the norms prevailing locally. Any irregular
electricity installations in boiler room should be replaced.
The boiler is not recommended for domestic usage. Water level should be checked periodically with a hydrometer. Never add water
to the system when boiler is hot. Never drain the water unless it is necessary. If a gas escape is sensed in boiler room, first close the
valve before gas flow meter. Never use match and never smoke in boiler room. Never turn electricity on/off. Ventilate the room
opening doors and windows and consult authorized installer staff or Gas Company immediately.
Follow the instructions for periodic cleaning and maintenance operations whose procedures given further in this manual.
The boilers can be installed directly onto a smooth level floor of non-combustible material. A steel base frame and a 50 mm thick
mineral wool mat to insulate the underneath of the boiler are included in the supply. A raised plinth shall be used. It is recommended
that the plinth be at 200 mm high and sized to the dimensions of casing of the boiler given as in the following table:

Water Circulation System
The system design must provide water flow rates commensurate with boiler output and the temperature difference between flow and
return should not exceed 20 C or 25 C at most.
The return temperatures due to oil type fired should not be lower than the degrees given in «Technical Information» to operate the
boiler in non-condensing mode. In this case, your boiler can be operated without using a by-pass pump and there will be no
condensation in the boiler. As the flow temperature of your boiler can be changeable meeting different heat requirements of the
system without any condensation, the hydraulic circuit no more needs any devices to adjust the hot water temperature such as three-
way valves.
Alpha Tryon MK Floor Standing Cast Iron Boiler L334
15 17/08/2011 ©MHS Boilers
Should the system is operated at temperatures below than those mentioned above, a by-pass pump or a three/four-way motor vane
should be used to increase the return temperature particularly in conditions natural gas or LPG used.
A by-pass pump must be used, should the system has a three way motor vane, because of the principle of preventing condensation
in the boiler.
Water levels should be checked regularly and any leakages corrected in order to keep system water make-up to a minimum, because
excessive make-up will lead to salt deposits forming in the boiler waterways causing local overheating and damage to the boiler
sections. Where there is doubt as to the quantity of water make-up, a water meter should be fitted.
Boiler water systems should be thoroughly flushed and cleaned before a new boiler is installed and system water should be treated
by a reputable specialist and best practice observed. Consideration should be given to the fitting of sludge traps and strainers if site
conditions warrant them.
Failure to apply and maintain the correct water treatment to prevent the formation of scale
Scale and corrosion within the heating system will render all appliance warranties null and void.
Safety of water circulation system
For heating systems with maximum boiler temperature up to 100 C
The system can be built either open vented or pressurized. In case of open vented heating system an open type expansion tank
according to DIN 4807 Part 2 shall be installed at the highest level of hydraulic circuit. Delivery and return lines between expansion
tank and boiler shall be constructed in accordance with DIN 4750. No globe valves must be installed on delivery and return safety
lines. Safety lines should be attached to inlet and outlet lines of boiler at points as close as possible to boiler, using the shortest
possible vertical way between expansion tank and boiler.
A hydrometer shall be installed on delivery line from boiler at a same level with top of boiler. After filling heating system, the minimum
water level should be recorded on hydrometer in order to check water level during operation.
In case of pressurized heating system a pressure relief valve according to TRD 721 shall also be installed on heating system to
ensure safety besides closed type expansion vessel.
For heating systems with maximum boiler temperature up to 120 C
In this case, each heating circuit is constructed pressurized and shall be equipped with diaphragm or spring-tensioned pressure relief
valves according to TRD 721.
Each heating system can be equipped with up to three pressure relief valves. For boiler nominal heat outputs 350 kW and above, the
pressure relief valve shall be connected to an open relaxation pot for safety of system. If this can not be established, an additional
safety temperature and a maximum pressure limiter should be installed on the boiler.
The sizes of diaphragm pressure relief valves on inlet or outlet of boiler according to boiler nominal heat output are outlined below:
Requirements on filling with water
For heating systems with maximum boiler temperature up to 100 C, the necessary water purification shall be in accordance with VDI
2035:
Boiler capacity range Nr. Requirements at the filling and auxiliary water.
100 < Q in kW <350 1 No requirement is needed, if content of Calcium Hydrocarbonate
(CA(HC03)) is max 2 mol/m³, and if no more than the triple water filling of the plant does not take
place.
350 < Q in kW <1000 2 Like 1, however content of Calcium Hydrocarbonate is1,5 mol/m³ max.
1000 < Q in kW 3 In this case, quantity of water, which can be fed without softening, is to
be determined after VDI 2035 equation If the system needs more filling and auxiliary water, this
must be demineralised.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Assembly of Boiler Group
Numbers in the parenthesis refer to position numbers in the exploded drawing.
1. Place steel profiles (174) which are used as base frames of the boiler parallel to each other as shown in Fig. 1. There are four base
frames for MK 8-10, six for MK 11-15, and eight for MK 16-20.

2. Start with the rear section (1), clean all rope grooves on the section using a wire brush. Clean nipple ports using cloth and paraffin.
Apply adhesive to the rope grooves on the front side of the section Fit continuous lengths of 12 mm diameter. Rope (5) in each
groove of the section starting with the outer grove. Tape the ends of each rope to avoid unravelling. Apply jointing compound onto
nipples and place nipples (4) squarely in each nipple port, and using a wooden mallet, lightly tap nipple into the port to secure.
3. Take an intermediate section (3) and prepare the section as described above. Do not fit rope into the grooves on the side of
intermediate section facing towards the rear section. Likewise, fit ropes only to one side of the other intermediate sections which are
to be assembled later. Place the rear section at the end of the base frames.
With its un-roped side facing towards the rear, fit the intermediate section squarely onto nipples of the rear section and secure by
using a wooden mallet. Ensure that rope on rear section remains in correct position.
4. Continue boiler assembly repeating the same procedures with other intermediate sections. Apply "Compression Tools" passing
them through bottom and top nipples as shown in following scheme and accordance with the table headed "Usage order of
compression tools", until the rope between each section is firm. The gap between each section should be 4-5 mm (check the gap
using a screwdriver blade).

After each application of compression tools, fit stay bolts (to secure group of sections to each other) (8,9) with M16 nuts (11) and
washers (10).
Do not use excessive force to tighten the nuts up on the stay bolts, from 48 to 54 Nm (35 - 40 lbf/ft) torque is recommended.
5. Prepare the front section (2) for the assembly. Apply special adhesive called fiberfrax supplied in accessory box into grooves of
front section facing towards the front door. Fit fibreglass rope braided 16x16 mm (29) in the grooves of the front section. Fit the front
section and make final usage of Boiler Compression Tools and correctly align the sections. Fit stay bolts (8,9) with M16 nuts (11) and
washers (10).
Fit two 2" plugs (22) into the ports of front section. For MK 8 and 9, fit plug 1 1/2" (181) on top of the front section. For MK 10 and
above, fit elbow 1 1/2" (182) on top of the front section, and auxiliary pipe (184) to the elbow. For MK 12 and above, there are two
auxiliary pipes. In that case, bring them together using pipe union (183). Piping from the elbow should be raised slightly and
connected into the main rear flow outside the boiler without fouling the top and rear casing. Fit studs M16x65 (20) to return and flow
connections of the rear section.
Hydraulic test
Fit 1/8" plug (155) supplied in accessory box into 1/8" hole on top of the rear section (with P2-A standard control panel, this hole is
not used). For 1/2" and 3/8" instrument tapings on top of the rear section, use 1/2" and 3/8" pockets for bulbs supplied within the
standard control panel or any suitable plugs. Fit a 3/4" plug into drain connection of the rear section. Use hydraulic test apparatus of
MK boiler. Fit bottom test flange with two globe valves and test gasket to return connection. Fit blank flange and the other gasket to
flow connection as shown in following scheme.

Fit closing piece with a gate valve to the end of the auxiliary pipe.
Connect a hydraulic press to one of the globe valves on test flange fitted to return connection. Fill the boiler with water by connecting
the other valve on test flange to the water circuit. Meanwhile, release the air left in the boiler via pocket bulbs holes on top of the rear
section. When the water comes out of the holes, fix the pocket bulbs again. Turn the valve connected to circuit off and turn the other
valve connected to the hydraulic press on. Pressurize the system via the pump on hydraulic press until the pressure gauge reaches
the test pressure.
Hydrostatic test shall be carried out at a pressure gauge of 1.43 x P; where, P is the maximum operating pressure of boiler. Duration
of test should be at least 30 minutes.
The hydrostatic test must always be carried out before boiler being jacketed or heat insulated, and connected to heating circuit.
After hydrostatic test, "Boiler Assembly Certificate" shall be filled in and signed by the erector/installer. In order to warranty terms of
boiler to be put into operation, make sure that this certificate is completed, signed, and sent to manufacturer. We recommend you to
ask for a copy of assembly certificate from erector/installer.
We recommend you to ask your erector/installer to record the data of boiler group such as boiler shipment group serial numbers,
production date etc. which will help both installer and manufacturer use for optimum customer care and technical feedback.
