Potterton declare that no substances

harmful to health are contained in the

appliance or used during appliance

manufacture.

1.1 Description

1. The Potterton Performa 24 is a fully automatic

gas fired wall mounted combination boiler. It is

room sealed and fan assisted, and will provide

central heating and mains fed domestic hot water.

2. The boiler is set to give a maximum output of

24.0 kW.

3. It is designed for use on Natural Gas (G20) and

can be converted to use Propane or Butane.

4. The boiler is suitable for use only on fully

pumped sealed heating systems. Priority is given

to domestic hot water.

5. The boiler data badge gives details of the

model, serial number and Gas Council number

and is situated on the control box. It is visible when

the case front panel is removed (Fig. 1).

6. The boiler is intended to be installed in

residential / commercial / light industrial E.M.C.

environments on a governed meter supply only.

7. The boiler must be installed with one of the

purpose designed flues such as the standard

horizontal flue kit, part no. 247719.

8. All systems must be thoroughly flushed and

treated with inhibitor (see section 6.2).

1.2 Installation

1. The appliance is suitable for installation only in

G.B. and I.E. and should be installed in

accordance with the rules in force. For Ireland

install in accordance with I.S.813 “INSTALLATION OF

GAS APPLIANCES”. The installation must be carried

out by a CORGI Registered Installer or other

competent person and be in accordance with the

relevant requirements of GAS SAFETY (Installation

and Use) REGULATIONS, the BUILDING REGULATIONS

(Scotland) (Consolidation), the LOCAL BUILDING

REGULATIONS, the CURRENT I.E.E. WIRING

REGULATIONS and the bye laws of the Local Water

Undertaking. Where no specific instructions are

given, reference should be made to the relevant

BRITISH STANDARD CODES OF PRACTICE.

1.3 Optional Extras

1. Various flue extensions, bends, vertical flue kits,

control accessories etc. are available as optional

extras. These are detailed in a separate

publication.

3.0 Appliance Operation

NOTE: All delay timers mentioned in 3.1 and

3.2 are overridden by domestic hot water

demand.

3.1 Central Heating Mode (Fig. 4)

1. With a demand for heating, the pump circulates

water through the primary circuit. At a pre-

determined flow rate the central heating flow

switch operates, initiating the ignition sequence.

2. The main burner ignites at low rate, then the

gas valve controls the gas rate to maintain the

heating temperature measured by the

temperature sensor.

3. When the flow temperature exceeds the setting

temperature, a 3 minute delay occurs before the

burner relights automatically (anti-cycling). The

pump continues to run during this period.

4. When the demand is satisfied the burner is

extinguished and the pump continues to run for a

period of 30 seconds (Pump Overrun).

3.2 Domestic Hot Water Mode (Fig. 5)

1. Priority is given to the domestic hot water

supply. A demand at a tap or shower will override

any central heating requirement.

2. The flow of water will operate the DHW flow

switch which causes the 3 way valve to change

position. This will allow the pump to circulate the

primary water through the DHW plate heat

exchanger.

3. The burner will light automatically and the

temperature of the domestic hot water is

controlled by the temperature sensor.

4. When the domestic hot water demand ceases

the burner will extinguish and the diverter valve

will remain in the domestic hot water mode,

unless there is a demand for central heating.

IMPORTANT: When the selector switch is in the

‘0’(Off) position the electrical supply to the boiler

is isolated. The boiler will not operate and the

integral timer (if fitted) will require resetting once

the selector switch is turned to either the DHW

or CH position.

6.0 System Details

6.1 Information

1. The Potterton Performa 24 Combination Boiler is a

‘Water Byelaws Scheme - Approved Product’.

To comply with the Water Byelaws your attention is

drawn to the following installation requirements and

notes (IRN).

a) IRN 001 - See text of entry for installation

requirements and notes.

b) IRN 116 - Byelaw 90 and 91.

c) IRN 302 - Byelaw 14.

2. Reference to the WRc publications, ‘Water fittings

and materials directory’and ‘Water supply byelaws

guide’give full details of byelaws and the IRNs.

6.2 Central Heating Circuit

1. The appliance is suitable for fully pumped

SEALED SYSTEMS ONLY.

Treatment of Water Circulating Systems

•All recirculatory water systems will be subject to

corrosion unless an appropriate water treatment is

applied. This means that the efficiency of the

system will deteriorate as corrosion sludge

accumulates within the system, risking damage to

pump and valves, boiler noise and circulation

problems.

•For optimum performance after installation this

boiler and its associated central heating system

must be flushed in accordance with the guidelines

given in BS 7593 “Treatment of water in domestic

hot water central heating systems”.

•This must involve the use of a proprietary

cleanser, such as BetzDearborn Sentinel X300 or

X400, or Fernox Superfloc. Full instructions are

supplied with the products, but for immediate

information please contact BetzDearborn (0151

420 9563) or Fernox (01799 550 811) directly.

•For long term protection against corrosion and

scale, after flushing it is recommended that an

inhibitor such as BetzDearborn Sentinel X100, or

Fernox MB-1 or Copal is dosed in accordance with

the guidelines given in BS 7593.

Failure to flush and add inhibitor to the system

may invalidate the appliance warranty.

•It is important to check the inhibitor

concentration after installation, system modification

and at every service in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions. (Test kits are available

from inhibitor stockists.)

6.3 Bypass

1. The boiler is fitted with an automatic integral

bypass.

6.4 System Control

1. The boiler is designed for use in a heating

system that incorporates external controls, i.e. a

minimum of a timer device.

2. An integral electro-mechanical or electronic

timer is available as an optional extra.

3. For optimum operating conditions and maximum

economy the fitting of a programmable thermostat

is recommended.

6.0 System Details

6.5 System Filling and Pressurising

1. A filling point connection on the central heating

return pipework must be provided to facilitate

initial filling and pressurising and also any

subsequent water loss replacement/refilling.

2. The filling method adopted must be in

accordance with all relevant water supply bye-

laws and use approved equipment.

3. Your attention is drawn to: IRN 302 and Byelaw

14.

4. The sealed primary circuits may be filled or

replenished by means of a temporary connection

between the circuit and a supply pipe, provided a

‘Listed’double check valve or some other no less

effective backflow prevention device is

permanently connected at the inlet to the circuit

and the temporary connection is removed after

use (Fig. 8).

5. There are connection points on the mains cold

water inlet and central heating return isolation

taps to which the optional Filling Loop Kit (Part No

248221) can be fitted.

6.6 Expansion Vessel

(Central Heating only)

1. The appliance expansion vessel is pre-charged

to 0.5 bar. Therefore, the minimum cold fill

pressure is 0.5 bar. The vessel is suitable for

correct operation for system capacities up to 125

litres. For greater system capacities an additional

expansion vessel must be fitted - refer to BS 7074

Pt 1.

6.7 Pressure Relief Valve (Fig. 9)

1. The pressure relief valve is set at 3 bar,

therefore all pipework, fittings, etc. should be

suitable for pressures in excess of 3 bar.

2. The pressure relief discharge pipe should be

not less than 15mm dia, run continuously

downward, and discharge outside the building,

preferably over a drain (Fig. 10). It should be

routed in such a manner that no hazard occurs or

causes damage to wiring or electrical

components. The end of the pipe should

terminate facing down and towards the wall.

3. The discharge must not be above a window,

entrance or other public access. Consideration

must be given to the possibility that boiling

water/steam could discharge from the pipe.
