Installing The Plant - Kärcher HDS 9/16-4 ST Gas LPG Betriebsanleitung

Installing the plant

Only for authorised technicians!
!
– The heating appliance of the machine is an ignition plant.
Please follow the local regulations while installing it.
– Use only certified chimneys/exhaust pipes.
General rules for gas
– The installation of gas pipes as well as the gas-side connec-
tions of the appliance should only be done by a company spe-
cialised in gas and water installations.
– Settings and repairs to the gas burner should only be carried
out by trained Kärcher Customer Service Technicians.
– There should be a manometer and a locking valve in the gas
pipe that should have a minimum diameter of 1 inch.
– Due to the vibrations caused by the high pressure pump, the
rigid gas pipe must be connected to the appliance using a
flexible gas hose.
– For gas pipes that are more than 10 m in length, the diameter
must be 1 1/2 inch or more. The gas connection to the appli-
ance has a diameter of 1 inch.
DANGER
While attaching the flexible gas hose to the burner, the connec-
tion adapter must be held with an open-ended spanner SW 36.
The connection adapter must not get twisted vis-a-vis the burner
casing. The threaded connection should only be sealed using a
sealant approved by DVGW. After connection, the joint must be
checked for leaks using a DVGW-approved leak detector spray.
The width of the gas pipe must be calculated according to DVGW
TRGI 1986 or TRF 1996. The diameter of the gas connection to
the appliance does not automatically become the diameter of the
pipe connection. The dimensioning and installation of the gas
pipes must be done according to the corresponding norms and
regulations.
Ventilation / exhaust system
– Each appliance must be connected to a separate chimney.
– The exhaust system must be designed according to the local
rules and regulations after consulting the concerned chimney
expert.

General
Gas pipes
Gas appliances with an exhaust system that sucks out the
combustion air from the installation room
Type B23
Gas appliances without flow controller where all parts of the ex-
haust system that are subjected to excess pressure are free of
combustion air. The B23 installation opens new options of con-
necting the appliance to a traditional single-draught chimney ac-
cording to DIN 18160 and operating it depending on the air con-
ditions in the room. The only requirement is that the chimney
must be suitable for being connected to combustion devices (i.e.
it has been cleaned by inserting a stainless steel pipe).
Gas appliance with an exhaust system that removes the
combustion air into the open via a closed system
Type C33
Gas appliance with combustion air supply and exhaust system
placed vertically over the roof. The inlets are located almost close
to each other in the same pressure range.
