Congratulations with your purchase of this Kabola boiler. This user-manual covers the B-Series central
heating boilers. The B-Series central heating boilers cover a wide range of boilers with a broad range of
application. By purchasing this boiler you have acquired a product, which is of high quality through the
application of the latest European standards and directives.
The B-Series boilers are designed to generate heat for the heating of water for a central heating system.
The dimensions of the rooms to be heated, have to be taken into consideration.
These boilers are not designed for direct heating of the rooms in which they are installed.
The B-Series boilers heat the central heating water by means of a pressure jet burner, which is installed
on front of the boiler. The standard boilers operate from a 230 volt AC Supply. Boilers up to type B45
can also be supplied to operate on a 240 volt DC Supply. All B-Series boilers work in the same way, the
only difference is the dimensions and the capacities of the boilers (see also the technical specifications
in Appendix A).
The most important technical specifications are listed on the plate on the front of the boiler. More
technical details are listed in Appendix A.
Wa rning: Although Kabola Heating Systems designs and produces its products according to the
current safety standards, it is possible that dangers may occur, which could lead to injuries or damage
to the boiler, if the safety instructions in this manual are not complied with.
Atte ntion: No alterations to the boilers may be done without the explicit written consent of Kabola
Heating Systems!
The safety instructions listed below must be complied with when operating the B-Series boilers.
• Don’t store any flammable and/or gaseous products in the room where the boiler is installed to
avoid explosions and fires.
• Install the boiler in a non-humid environment on a firm horizontal base.
• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation in the room where the boiler is installed (See also
4.1.1)
• Make sure, before you start connecting the boiler, that the system is disconnected from the
power supply.
• Only use multiple-stranded wire for electrical connections.
• Don’t change the + pole with the – pole of the battery (for the 24 Volt DC version)
3.1 Transport
3.2 Storage
Take the following precautions when the boiler is stored for a longer period of time:
• Store the boiler and accompanying parts in a dry place.
• Dismount the burner
• Store the boiler standing up.
• Store the boiler on a firm horizontal base.
Wa rning: Don’t store any flammable and gaseous substances in the room where the boiler is
installed. This is to ensure that no explosions or fires can occur.
4.1 Installation
General
Figure 2
The flue gas outlet is an essential part of your heating installation.
An incorrect flue gas outlet reduces the lifespan of your boiler considerably and has a negative impact on
the efficiency. Remember when installing the flue, that even the best boiler won’t work properly unless
the flue is properly installed.
Wa rning: Because the flue gas temperature lies between 180 - 240°C, it is advisable to insulate the flue
with heat-resistant material in those parts where contact with human body parts is possible.
For a correct flue gas outlet the following points need to be observed:
• Use the proper length/diameter dimensions, use a diameter equal to the diameter of the flue
gas outlet on the boiler (see also technical specifications)
• Use double-walled chimney pipe outside to prevent a rapid cooling of the flue gasses, which
might result in condensation in the chimney.
Hint: When using a existing chimney of a larger diameter than the diameter on the boiler, you can
install flexible piping of the correct diameter inside the existing chimney.
The flue can be installed in several different ways. You must carefully consider under which
circumstances the boiler will be used. For sea going boats and sail boats we advise the installation of a
vertical flue where the angles of the boat may be larger. The following installation examples are most
common.
It is possible to fit a horizontal flue gas outlet to the boiler. The following points need to be observed:
• When a burner with an after purge cycle is used the maximum allowed length is 6 metres. A
burner without an after purge cycle can be fitted with a maximum flue length of 2 metres plus the
silencer.
• Make sure that the outlet is positioned at a sufficient height above the waterline. If this not
possible use a swan neck bend in the pipe as in figure 3.
Hint: To reduce the noise resulting from flames, it is wise to install a silencer in
the horizontal flue and the vertical flue.
Kabola can provide you with all components which may be required for installation
such as:
• Cowls.
• Flexible piping. Figure 4
• Single and double walled chimney pipes.
• Wall and deck flanges.
• Silencers.
• Water traps.
Atte ntion: The core diameter of the connections mentioned above must be between 1 and 1,5mm².
The wires should be suitable for the voltage used.
Conne cting the circulation pump (see figure 5 and electrical scheme in appendix C)
1. Connect the pump to points 3 and 4 of the connector.
2. Connect point 5 to the ground connection on the pump
3. Replace the cover of the main connector.
Table 1
Follow the procedure listed below for filling the CH-system (see figure 7)
1. Switch off the boiler
2. Turn the coupling nut below the pressure indicator to loosen it;
3. Pull the hose connection a little downwards;
4. Connect the hose with a hose clamp to the connection.
5. Fill the system slowly with water, until the pressure indicator indicates
a pressure of 2 bar.
6. Fasten the coupling nut;
7. Bleed the CH-system
8. If necessary, fill with water again up to 2 bar of pressure.
9. Switch on the boiler and let the pump run for about 5 minutes.
10. Switch off the boiler.
11. Check the water pressure, if it is too low, repeat steps 5 through to 10; Figure 7
12. Remove the hose.
Hint: The CH-system can be filled with cooling fluid, suited for CH-systems (pH-value 8.5).
Follow the points listed below to bleed the pump (see figure 8):
1. Check if the rotor can rotate without problems by
turning the pump by hand (see manual pump)
2. Loosen the screw on front of the pump ½ to 1 turn
with a screw-driver.
3. Fasten the screw when water comes out of the
opening.
4. The pump is bled.
Atte ntion: when locking pump couplings which are supplied Figure 8
with the boiler, the adjusting grooves must point towards the
pump (see figure 9)
Hint: Check if the inspection opening on the mounting plate can be reached. If this is
not the case the mounting plate can be turned 180° to reach the opening easier. For a
B12 you need to saw an extra piece off the flange.
3.
3.1 Measure and set the distance from the back of the
gasket, mounted behind the mounting plate, to the
front of the flange using the table below and figure
10.
Atte ntion: Take care that the burner pipe is not damaged during installation. Repairs to the burner pipe
are very expensive and don’t fall under warranty.
To connect the filter to the boiler follow the procedure below (see also figure 11)
Figure 11
Figure 12
Atte ntion: The oil burner is tested by the manufacturer, not adjusted. The adjustment of the burner has
to be done by an experienced installer, because this requires expert knowledge. To be eligible for
warranty, the boiler has to be adjusted by an approved installer. Contact Kabola Heating Systems or
your importer to make an appointment.
Never adjust the burner using your own initiative .
A correctly adjusted burner shows a clear white flame, which is visible through the inspection opening (6)
If problems arise with the operation of the boiler, you will find a list of possible problems and solutions in
Appendix D.
Spare parts must be ordered through your importer dealer or from Kabola Heating Systems. For
warranty purposes only original spare parts may be used. When ordering spare parts, mention the type
of the boiler and its serial number. Kabola Heating Systems will then be able to deliver the correct parts.
In Appendix B, the main spare parts are listed.
Wa rning: Maintenance and repairs should only take place when the boiler is switched off this is
because the boiler might start unexpectedly. Take the plug from the wall socket. Disconnect the power
supply for the 24 Volt version.
Wa rning: Maintenance and repairs may only be performed by personnel, who have read and understood
the information in this manual, preferably an expert installer or mechanic from Kabola.
