I. INTRODUCTION
1 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Model FCX oil fired boiler utilizes a sealed combustion system
that operates at a temperature at which the flue products will
condense. How much the unit condenses depends on return
water temperatures. The lower the temperature the more the unit
condenses and the high the efficiency. The flue products
temperature is so low that the unit is suitable for use with PVC
intake / Polypropylene exhaust flue pipes, which are offered as
standard options for installation. The FCX is approved for installation
with zero clearance to combustible materials by Intertek Testing
Services to the UL Standard for Oil Fired Storage Tank Water
Heaters (UL 732).
The FCX is completely assembled and provides standard parts
as follows:
• An enameled steel cabinet with thick insulation
• A completely unitized, thick shelled boiler with combustion
chamber and a heat exchanger with a system of removable
baffles
• A stainless steel condenser, with condensate drain
• A high efficiency, low emission, gun type oil burner with
combustion air fan, integral oil pump, oil heater and primary
control
• A control panel assembly and all electrical controls for
operation of the boiler, including a water temperature
thermometer in circuit 1
• A manual water-mixing valve that can be motorized if desired
• A safety pressure relief valve
• An expansion tank
• A water circulating pump
• Complete internal water piping terminating in connections for
two independent water heating circuits.
• Complete internal air piping terminating in a connection to a
coaxial flue/combustion air intake system.
