Wessex 220 M Series
Since the early 1980’s Hamworthy hasled the way in development of highefficiency pre-mix modular boilers.The latest in the line is the newWessex 220 M Series which builds onthe success of the innovative Wessex100 M Series.The output of each module has beenincreased from 200kW, on Wessex HEboilers, to 220kW on the Wessex 220M Series and the burner is now fullymodulating, packing in more powerand increasing the control to matchthe load even closer.Designed to meet the requirements ofnew build and refurbishment projects,the Wessex is a well proven, reliableBritish product, which has come ofage with the latest amendments to theBuilding Regulations (2001). TheHamworthy Wessex range has beenachieving efficiency performancebeyond these latest regulations forover twenty years and throughinvestment in product developmentand continuous improvement, theevolution in design has maintained itsposition at the forefront of boilertechnology.The Wessex 220 M Series usesbuilding blocks of 220kW modules ina matrix configuration which enablesboilers to be assembled in one, two orthree high arrangements andpositioned closely together side byside.There are three models in the series,M220, M440 and M660 with outputsof 220kW, 440kW and 660kWrespectively.

High Efficiency SystemThe central component to theHamworthy design is a heat exchangerthat can generate a highly efficient gasto water heat transfer, through acylindrical extended surface heatexchanger constructed from finnedcopper tubes. To ensure an equal flowthrough each tube, sectioned endplates are incorporated into thedesign.
Your solution to meeting Part L (Part J in Scotland)Using high efficiency boilers is a simple reliable solution to meeting Part L inrefurbishment projects.More often than not, the original heating system design was based on 80°C flowtemperature from the boiler. This does not fall within the normal operating rangeof condensing boilers, therefore, unless the entire heating system is redesigned,then it is unlikely that the full benefits of a condensing boiler will be achieved.The Wessex range of high efficiency boilers from Hamworthy produces exceptionalperformance, with full load efficiency up to 84% gross (93% nett) and part loadefficiency up to 91% gross (100% nett).This level of performance enables the designer to use the energy performance ofthe boiler to compensate for a lower level of performance in the building fabric,such as insulation or glazing, and yet easily comply with the requirements of thelatest Building Regulations.

The Wessex 220 M Series boilersfeature a fully modulating premixburner control system. An electronicthermostat monitors the boileroperating conditions andautomatically adjusts the output tosuit. The gas/air ratio control systemensures that clean and efficientcombustion is maintained throughoutthe maximum modulation range,down to a minimum of 20%.Fully automatic ignition is achievedutilising a hot surface ignition system.This highly effective and reliable formof ignition requires less maintenancethan conventional spark ignition andeliminates the electrical interferencesometimes associated with that typeof system. Flame proving is achievedusing a flame rectification probe.The controls are housed within afabricated steel enclosure, whichfeatures a visual display allowing theuser to monitor the current operatingstatus of the boiler.All boilers are fitted as standard with
volt free contacts, which allow forremote monitoring of the boiler status,indicating boiler run, lockout & hightemperature conditions.The compact design achieves up to880kW output per square metrefloorspace, which significantly reducesthe plant room size when compared totraditional cast iron boilers.Wessex 220 M Series boilers aresupplied fully assembled from thefactory therefore eliminating boilerbuilds on site. The assembled boilercan be easily manoeuvred using apallet truck and will pass through astandard single doorway.
Gas to Water Heat TransferThe copper finned tubes of theWessex heat exchanger provide theperfect ratio of eight times moresurface area on the gas side comparedto the water side. In addition to this,copper is an ideal heat exchangermaterial being 8.5 times moreconductive than cast iron or steel. It isalso compatible with system waterand offers resistance to flue gascorrosion.
Rapid ResponseThe superior rate of heat transfer ofthe Wessex boilers means that theremoval of that heat requires anincrease in the flow rate of water. Thisresults in a smaller boiler with reducedwater content. The combination ofthis low volume and high watervelocity not only keeps solids insuspension, but increases the speed atwhich the boiler responds.

Heat ExchangerAll Wessex models have a highlyefficient cylindrical primary heatexchanger constructed from copperfinned tubing. The tubes areexpanded at each end into cast irontube plates. These tube plates aresectioned to provide even flowthrough each tube in a multi-passarrangement.The relatively large 22mm diametertubes combined with the high waterflow velocities considerably reducesthe risk of blockage in comparisonwith alternative heat exchangerdesigns, which have smallerwaterways.
BurnerA cylindrical woven fibre burner ispositioned centrally within the primaryheat exchanger. This design of burnerallows for good flame stability at lowturndown rates. The woven fibreconstruction of the burner also resultsin lower flame temperatures beingachieved and thus lowers NOxemissions.
Low NOxAn area crucial to the success ofreducing NOx emissions is the burnerdesign and its ability to evenlydistribute the excess air requiredduring the combustion process.In designing the burner, Hamworthytook consideration of the requirementfor low NOx production, and anyanticipated EC legislation.Here the correct air/gas mixture isachieved before entering the burnerbar, and can effectively provide flamesthrough the 360° of it’s surface.By pre-mixing the air and gas prior toignition, the excess air required isevenly distributed achieving a moreeven temperature. This process resultsin low NOx production and is furtherassisted by the superior heat transferqualities of the copper fins which keepthe combustion chamber cool.Hamworthy Wessex boiler NOxemissions are low, achieving Europeanclass 5 performance.

Water SystemThe Wessex is designed toaccommodate high rise applicationsand has a maximum working pressureof 10 bar.Each module is supplied with aconnection for fitting a pressure andtemperature relief valve, (notHamworthy supply).Where the boiler feed water has ahigh degree of hardness, it isrecommended that the water betreated to prevent precipitation ofscale or sludge in the boiler waterpassageways.
The Gas TrainA zero governor gas valve is used toprecisely control the mixture of gasand air entering the burner as thefiring rate modulates. This is achievedby measuring the pressure drop acrossa venturi at the fan inlet and adjustingthe gas pressure accordingly.

Premix
Combustion Air IntakeIncoming combustion air is pre-heatedby directing the flow through theinnovative casing design, contributingto the efficiency performance. Theflow of combustion air also serves toinsulate the boiler casing panels andremoves the need for insulationmaterial in the casing.
ThermostatsAll Wessex 220 M Series boilers arefitted with a manual reset limitthermostat, which has a range of 90-110°C. This will normally be factoryset to 95°C.An electronic temperature controlthermostat regulates the boiler flowtemperature up to a maximum of90°C. The control thermostat alsooperates as a push button on/offswitch.To accommodate multiple boilerinstallations the limit thermostat isadjustable up to a maximum of 110°Cwhere the boiler control thermostatsare to be set higher than 83°C,adequate system pressure must beavailable either by gravity head orsystem pressurisation.For further details of multiple boilers,system pressures and temperaturesplease refer to Hamworthy publication500002194, Energy Efficient MultipleBoiler Systems.
Hot Surface IgnitionThe Wessex M Series boilers have afully automatic direct burner ignitionsystem that employs a hot surfaceignition element. Using hot surfaceignition eliminates the electricalinterference sometimes associatedwith traditional spark electrodes. Inaddition it also requires lessmaintenance than a spark electrode.

Pipework manifold kitsAs with all Hamworthy products, thepipework kits are designed with thecomplete solution in mind. TheWessex 220 M series is available withoptional pipework kits to make theboiler installation quicker and easier toenable the contractor to save time inthe plant room during installation.
Contrary to popular practice, thepipework can be installed before theboilers are put in place. This reducesthe possibility of damage to the boilercasings during pipework installationand gives the contractor more roomto work in the plant room.
The M440 and M660 water and gasmanifold pipework kits are freestanding and incorporate all necessaryvalves, inter connecting pipework, andflexible flow and return connections.
The water manifold kits are for hotwater heating installations up to100°C maximum temperature and allcomponents are pressure tested priorto despatch from our works.
The water manifold kits are intendedfor use in reverse return configuration.The Wessex 220 M Series boilers havea low water content and water flowrates must be maintained at or abovethe levels shown in the technical datatable for the boilers. A suitablepressure relief valve (not Hamworthysupply) must be fitted to each boilermodule before connecting the watermanifold assembly.The main pipework kit is designed forease of handling and is delivered to
site in a kit form which utilises a steelbase arrangement similar to the boilerfor ease of handling and to facilitatealignment with the boiler.
Our BS EN ISO 9001 accreditationensures that our products aredesigned and manufactured to ourconsistently high standard.
All Hamworthy boilers have EuropeanCertification and bear the CE mark,the customers assurance of conformitywith European standards.
Power SupplyAn independent isolator and fusedelectrical supply is recommended foreach module, to enable each moduleto be shut down without losing theentire boiler output.230 volt, 50Hz single phase.
Remote SignallingVolt free contacts are fitted asstandard to all models to indicateboiler lockout, high limit lockout and
normal run. The contacts are BMScompatible and allow the boiler toconnect to a Building ManagementSystem to monitor boiler operationand status.
Condensate DischargeDue to the high thermal efficiency ofthe boiler, condensation will occurwithin the boiler casing during firingfrom cold conditions. A drain with anintegral trap is fitted to the rear centreof each module to enable the disposalof the condensate.The connection to the trap is Rp1/2”.The drainpipe must be manufacturedfrom a non corrosive material and beat least 22mm diameter. The pipeworkshould be installed with at least a 3°fall (approximately 50mm per metre)and connect via a tundish to a drain.In addition to the boiler condensatedrain, the M440 and M660 modelshave a condensate drain connectionfitted to the close-coupled flue header.This is a 22mm diameter drain stubwhich should be connected in asimilar manner via a suitable trap.
Low weight designThe boiler’s lightweight design,compared with traditional cast ironsectional boilers, offers perfectsolutions for roof top installationswithout the need for excessivestructural reinforcement. Around one-third of the weight ofconventional boilers, the Wessex 220M series weighs in at approximately1kg per kW output.Its compact dimensions and basedesign enable it to be easilymanoeuvred, using a standard pallettruck, through a normal sizeddoorway

Sequence ControlUsing a number of smaller boilers(modules) in order to accurately matchthe required load is acknowledged asan excellent approach to heatingsystem design. In order to get the fullbenefit from a multiple boilerinstallation it is essential to fit someform of sequence control to regulatethe firing of each module.The Milton sequence control panel hasbeen specifically designed to controlfully modulating boilers such as theWessex 220 M Series.
The Milton can control the operatingpattern of up to 9 modules firing infully modulating mode. The unit isenclosed in a compact lightweightcasing and is designed to be installedon a boilerhouse wall or any otherlocation within the building.In addition to providing sequencecontrol the Milton is also capable ofdirect weather compensation andoptimised boiler start. These featuresrequire optional external and roomsensors to be fitted, and enablefurther energy savings to be achieved.
DeliveryWessex 220 M Series boilers aresupplied fully assembled from thefactory. The assembled boiler can beeasily manoeuvred using a pallet truckand will pass through a standardsingle doorway.The M440 and M660 models aresupplied with a separate close-coupledflue header, which has to be fitted tothe boiler on site.
Electrical detailsSupply 230V 50Hz, single phase. Wiring external to the boiler must beinstalled in accordance with I.E.E.regulations and any local regulationswhich apply. Wiring must becompleted in heat resistant 3 corecable, ( size 1.0 mm2 c.s.a.). Fasciafuse rating is 2 amp. An isolatorcorrectly fused at 5 amps should besited close to the boiler, for eachmodule.
Time clock controlWhere boilers are operated from timeclocks, to avoid overheating andprogressive calcium deposition at zeroflow conditions, provision should bemade for a 5 minute circulating pumpover run after the last boiler hasceased firing.
Enhanced Capital AllowancesAs part of the Climate ChangeProgramme the Government introducedEnhanced Capital Allowances (ECA) inApril 2001, coinciding with theintroduction of the Climate Change Levy.Companies that are liable to paybusiness or corporation tax may benefitfrom Enhanced Capital Allowancesthrough improved cash flow as a resultof a reduced tax demand in the firstyear of investment in qualifying plant.The normal method of a reducingbalance capital allowance would spreadthe benefit over a longer period, wheretypically 95% of the cost would berelieved in a period of 8 years. TheEnhanced Capital Allowance enables100% of the allowance to be claimed inthe first year.
This benefit should encourage designersto specify more energy efficient boilersfor their client. All Hamworthy Wessexboilers are eligible for the allowancewhere specified on loads over 400kWoutput, and other costs directlyassociated with the provision of theboiler may be included in the ECAclaim.For further details on the EnhancedCapital Allowance scheme, please referto Hamworthy publication AAG 001, or visit the GovernmentECA web site at www.eca.gov.uk

Flue SystemEach of the boiler variations isdesigned for direct connection to aflue system. M440 and M660 modelsare supplied with a separate close-coupled flue header, and the outletsfrom more than one boiler may beconnected to a single chimney.A fixed draught diverter is notrequired in the flue system, however, adraught stabiliser is recommended forsome installations.Refer to page 15 for further details.
The Wessex 220 M Series complements the range of high efficiency boilersmanufactured by Hamworthy, satisfying the high output end of the range.Mid-range there is the Wessex 100 M Series, which utilises 100kW modules in thesame compact design.To satisfy the smaller outputs, Hamworthy has designed the Sherborne wall hunghigh efficiency fully modulating pre-mix boiler (65kW output), which can be openflued or fitted with a room sealed balanced flue.For further details of Wessex 100 M Series boilers please refer to publication500002184, and for Sherborne boilers refer to publication 500002216.

Application & System dataThe installation of all boilers MUST bein accordance with the relevantrequirements of the Gas SafetyRegulations, Building Regulations,I.E.E. Regulations and the bye-laws ofthe local water undertaking. It shouldalso be in accordance with anyrelevant requirements of the local gasregion, local authority and relevantrecommendations of the followingdocuments:
British StandardsBS7074: Application, selection andinstallation of expansion vessels andancillary equipment for sealed watersystems.Part 2: Code of practice for low andmedium temperature hot watersystems.BS6644: Installation of gas fired hotwater boilers – 60kW to 2MW.BS6700: Design, installation, testingand maintenance of services supplyingwater for domestic use.BS6880: Part 1, 2 & 3: Code ofpractice for low temperature hotwater heating systems of outputgreater than 45 kW.BS EN 60335: Part 1.

Boiler AccessoriesWessex boiler modules are supplied with control and high limit thermostats. The followingitems (not supplied) should be fitted to the boiler pipework system to satisfy BritishStandards. Each isolatable module or arrangement of modules, should have a drain cock atthe lowest point, a pressure relief valve and an open vent, (or high/low pressure switcheson closed systems). An altitude gauge and temperature gauge should be fitted to the flowmanifold beyond the entry of the last module but before any branches to different circuits.If a sequence control panel is fitted, the flow temperature sensor should be fitted in asimilar position.
Boiler baseWessex boilers should be positioned on a level non combustible surface that is capable ofadequately supporting its weight (when filled with water) and any ancillary equipment.Adequate space for installation and servicing should be considered. Clearance details areprovided on page 6.
Water systems - Modular installationsWessex modular boilers are suitable for installation in both open vented and closedsystems. Irrespective of the type of system, the water flow and return headers should beconnected in a “reverse return” arrangement (i.e. the water flow in each header followsthe same direction) thus providing equal flow through each boiler. This also ensures thatpressure loss across any number of boilers will never be greater than the head loss acrossone boiler plus local pipework losses.

Return
Module 1 Module 2 Module 3
Adequate water flowHamworthy Wessex modular boilers are designed as high efficiency, rapid response,low water content units. Care must be taken with initial system design and layoutto ensure that there is adequate waterflow through each module, and that theinfluence of the system control does not adversely affect that flow at any time.A minimum flow rate equal to 80% of the quoted design flow must be maintainedat all times when the burner is firing.
System feed water qualityIf the boiler feed water has a high degree of hardness, it is recommended that thewater be treated to prevent precipitation of scale or sludge in the boiler waterpassages. Details of additives can be obtained from any specialist water treatmentmanufacturer or local water authority.When Wessex units replace boilers in an existing system, it is important that theexisting system is thoroughly flushed through tfitted with isolating valves andinspected regularly after commissioning.

Guidance Note PM5 Health andSafety Executive This note states that “hot waterboilers should have an automaticcontrol apparatus to cut off fuel tothe burners of gas fired plant whenthe water at or near the boiler flowoutlet rises to a pre-determinedtemperature. This should provide amargin of at least 17°C below thetemperature of saturated steamcorresponding to the pressure at thehighest point of the circulation systemabove the boiler.” To comply with thisrecommendation, the minimumsystem pressure is dependant onsystem design flow temperatures andin the case of modular installations,the temperature rise across eachmodule.
Single installationsThe minimum pressure must be equalto the gauge pressure equivalent tothe saturated steam temperatureobtained by adding 17°C to therequired boiler flow temperature. Thehighest point of the circulation systemabove the boiler should never be lessthan 2m (6.5ft).
Required flow temperature 90°CSafety margin 17°CEquivalent saturated steam temperature 112°C

CommissioningHamworthy Heating stronglyrecommends that all boilers arecommissioned by their servicedepartment. On completion,Hamworthy will issue a boiler log bookwhich will provide details of the initialoperating settings. The log bookshould be used to record any futuremaintenance and service work.For more information oncommissioning contact HamworthyHeating Service Department:01202 662555
Air supply and ventilationAn adequate supply of fresh air forcombustion and ventilation must beprovided in accordance with BS 6644.The air supply should be free fromcontamination such as buildingdust and insulation fibres fromlagging. To avoid unnecessarycleaning and servicing of the boilermodules, we recommend that theboilers are not fired whilstbuilding work is being undertaken.
The air supply should be achievedusing:
Natural ventilation supplying air with a low level opening and discharge through a smaller sized high level opening.
A fan to supply air to a low level opening with natural discharge through a high level opening.
A fan to supply air to a low level opening and discharged by means of a fan at a high level.
Note: Fans must be selectedsuch that a negative pressure isnot created in the boilerhouserelative to outside air pressure.The air supplied for boiler houseventilation should be such that themaximum temperatures within theboiler house are as follows:At floor level 25°C (or 100mm above the floor level) At mid level 32°C(1.5m above floor level)At ceiling level 40°C(or 100mm below ceiling level)
Where natural ventilation is usedsuitable permanent openings at lowlevel and high level connected directlyto the outside air should be provided.These openings must be fitted withgrilles that cannot be blocked orflooded.
The free area of the grilles should beas follows:Low Level (Inlet) 540cm2 plus 4.5cm2 per kW in excessof 60kW total rated input. High Level (Outlet)270cm2 plus 2.25cm2 per kW in excessof 60kW total rated input.

General notesIn any single or modular system, it isimportant that the water flow ratethrough each firing boiler does not fallbelow the minimum required flow ratefor that size of boiler (see table page 7).In applications where the minimumflow rate will not be met a shunt pumpshould be installed, sized to provide theminimum stated flow rate per boiler atthe equivalent boiler pressure drop pluspipework resistance.Both heating and shunt pumps shouldbe controlled to provide an overrunperiod to dissipate residual heat.

Flue SystemGeneral RequirementsThe Wessex is designed for directconnection to a flue system and flueoutlets from more than one boilerwhich may be connected to a singlechimney, providing the relevantrequirements of the current BuildingRegulations are adhered to.The Wessex has a low draughtrequirement and is therefore able tooperate with a low chimney,improving the aesthetic appearance ofthe building exterior.The flue system should be designed tomaintain atmospheric pressure or aslight suction at the module flueconnection at all times. If at any time the suction islikely to exceed 0.1 mbar (0.04in wg), it is recommended thata draught stabiliser be fitted tothe flue system.Because of their high operatingefficiency Wessex modular boilershave a correspondingly low exhaustgas temperature (125°C - 135°C). Theflue gas temperature provides themotive force in overcoming flueresistance, therefore this temperaturemust be maintained. It isrecommended that twin walled orinsulated flue ducts incorporating astainless steel inner skin are used onall Wessex installations.NOTE: Where twin walled insulatedflues are used, minimum draughtcondition at the furthest module will
be obtained with all modules firingunder summer ambient (20°C)temperature. Maximum draughtcondition will be obtained with onemodule firing under winter ambient(0°C). Both conditions should bechecked and a controller(s) fitted if thedraught exceeds 0.1 mbar (0.04 in wg).Wessex boilers are suitable forconnection to a fan diluted flue system,refer to British Gas publication IM/11‘Flues for commercial and industrial gasfired boilers and air heaters.’
Flue CondensationAs a result of the high thermalefficiency of Wessex modules, the fluegas temperature is low (135°C) andcondensation is likely to be producedwithin the flue system during start-upand low load conditions. Care shouldbe taken to ensure that each flue isinstalled with a minimum slope of 3° inthe direction of the condensate drain,and that all joints are shaped to directcondensation to a drain pipe. Longerlengths of flue should be provided witha separate drain connection.Each boiler casing is fitted with a drainconnection. The drain pipe must be22mm ID minimum, having a fall of atleast 3 degrees (approx. 50mm permetre), and consist of non-corrodiblematerial led to a gully via a waste trap.
Boiler and flue packagesHamworthy boiler flues are specificallydesigned to complement theirextensive range of boilers and otherindustrial and commercial heatingequipment.Flue solutions can be engineered innatural draught, fan assisted or fandilution applications, offering singleskin, twin wall with an air gap or twinwall with an insulated gapconstruction.Hamworthy offer a comprehensiverange of flue equipment from stockfor supply only contracts, oralternatively provide a full design andinstallation service incorporatingsizing, site survey and drawings forapproval, (where necessary) prior tomanufacture.Engineered flue solutions fromHamworthy may well result in areduction in sizes providing anefficient system at lower cost. Please refer to brochure500002009 or contact HamworthyFlue & Chimney Systems forfurther details.
