Technical documentation Technical documentation

The hot water used for central heating and the d.h.w. supply is produced by a primary circuit and a
secondary circuit (domestic hot water), which operate according to need.

PRIMARY CIRCUIT (BOILER CIRCUIT)

The primary circuit with relevant control and safety devices is started every time there is a central
heating, domestic hot water request or antifreeze request.

- OPERATION
The heat contained in the flues produced by combustion is absorbed by the copper blades of the
water-gas exchanger (8) which, in turn, transfers this to the water that circulates inside by means
of the boiler pump (16).
The hot water then directly enters the heating system through the delivery pipe (M) and return
pipe (R).

- CIRCULATOR
This operates on the primary circuit return and
is physically located on the brass return
manifold unit.
It is connected to the monobloc and primary
exchanger by means of pipes with threaded
fittings.
The casing features a threaded fitting onto
which the automatic release valve (1) is
fastened.

- HEAD FLOW GRAPH

The curve representing the system flow and
head ratio depends on the speed of pump
operation.
The curves shown on the graph alongside
refer to:
- A = Circulator at top speed
- B = Circulator at second speed
- C = Circulator at top speed with by-pass

- PRIMARY HEAT EXCHANGER

This is a blade type water-gas exchanger consisting of four pipes connected together in series.
This is connected to pump delivery (return) and to primary circuit delivery (delivery) by means
of coupling pipes (3) featuring O.R. seals (5) secured by means of special forks (4).

- SAFETY DEVICES AND CONTROLS

System bypass (1) (optional)

Ensures circulation of water in the primary circuit
(between delivery and return) even when the high
resistance of the system does not permit.
It is fitted between the system delivery and return
connection pipes.

System filling valve

This cock is located between the boiler circuit and
the cold d.h.w. inlet and permits pressurising the
heating system
The housing is obtained in the lower part of the
three-way valve body to which it is screwed up.
(see no. “13” 3-way valve ).

System drain valve (3)

This is a brass cap featuring a hose connector
fitted (screwed) on the bottom part of the return
manifold (2).
By loosening this, the water of the primary circuit
can be externally released.

3-bar safety valve (4)

Prevents safety pressure being exceeded in the
circuit (3 bar).
It is connected in the front part of the manifold (2)
to which it is fitted on the side by a socket screw.
Operation of this valve causes water to run out of
the return pipe.

Automatic air vent (6)

Allows automatic expulsion of any gaseous
substances in the boiler circuit.
It is fitted to the delivery pipe of the pump directly
to the body.

Expansion vessel (7)

This compensates for any changes in volume
caused by water heating and permits restricting
pressure changes.
It is positioned on the right of the boiler alongside
the sealed chamber and has a pre-load pressure of
0.8 bar and a capacity of 6 l.
It is connected to the return manifold (2) by means
of a copper pipe (5) with threaded fittings.

HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
SECONDARY CIRCUIT (DOMESTIC HOT WATER CIRCUIT)

- OPERATION
A d.h.w. request causes cold water to flow through the 3-way valve (1) and its subsequent movement to
operating position (see hydraulic 3-way valve operation).
This causes the delivery pipe (M) to close with simultaneous opening of the passage towards the d.h.w.
exchanger (2).
This way, circulation is prevented in the heating system, while this does occur in the plate exchanger,
inside which the d.h.w. cold water absorbs the heat contained in the primary circuit water (see d.h.w.
exchanger).
During this stage, the central heating function is disengaged and d.h.w. production has priority.

- DOMESTIC HOT WATER

EXCHANGER
This is a water-water exchanger consisting of 13
stainless-steel plates, one over the other, on the
surface of which the boiler circuit water and d.h.w.
cold water run in counter-current, and by means of
which heat exchange between the two liquids occurs.
It is fitted horizontally and is connected to the 3-way
valve (primary circuit delivery), to the hot water
outlet pipe and to the return pipe of the primary
circuit by means of threaded unions with flat seal (1).
From serial number 1511772 for NIKE Mini and from
serial number 1507922 for EOLO Mini, the hydraulic
coupling to the 3-way valve (cold water inlet) is of
the coupling type with OR seal (2), while previously
it was obtained by means of a threaded union with flat
seal.

STEME ed 07/03 8 EOLO MINI

Technical documentation Technical documentation

- 3-WAY HYDRAULIC VALVE

Whenever a domestic hot water request is made, the 3-way valve has to deviate the flow of water
of the primary circuit from the central heating system to the plate exchanger.
It is therefore connected to both the primary circuit (primary circuit delivery, system delivery
and d.h.w. exchanger delivery) and to the d.h.w. circuit (cold water inlet, plate exchanger cold
water inlet).
The component part consists of a brass structure with inside an area where the transit (supply) of
d.h.w. is detected and another area where, as a result, deviation is made to the boiler circuit.
Inside are devices that carry out this function and which, if necessary, can be replaced using the
revision kit for three-way valves in which are fitted all the component parts subject to wear
(diaphragm, rods, OR, shutter, etc).
To perform this operation, the lid (6) will have to be removed and the two parts separated that
make up the valve body after loosening the socket-head retention screws (9).

The 3-way valve assembly also features the housings for the system filling stopcock (13) and
the 8 l/min flow limiting device (8).

Technical documentation Technical documentation

Idle position (central heating)

The thrust exercised by the spring “1”
affects the diaphragm plate “4” and the
d.h.w. valve “3” fastened to rod “5”.
The valve “2” is thus kept up tight
with consequent closing of the passage
towards the d.h.w. exchanger and the
simultaneous opening towards the
system delivery pipe (M).
Following a central heating request,
pump operation causes circulation in
the system through the delivery pipe
(M) and return pipe (R).

Operating position (d.h.w.)

The flow of domestic hot water inside

the valve invests the d.h.w. valve which,
when idle, is tight up against the plate of
the perforated diaphragm “4”.
Upon transit of the water, the pressure
downstream of valve “3” is less than that
upstream (“venturi effect”).
With a flow of at least 1.5 l/min and a
dynamic water pressure of 0.3 bar, the
pressure difference between the two
points is such as to cause movement of
diaphragm “4”.
This permits pressing spring “1” and the
release of spring “11” with the
consequent movement of valve “2” and
rods “5” and “6”.
In this condition, the delivery pipe (M) is
closed while the passage towards the
plate exchanger is open.
At the same time, rod “7” positions (drops) at the point of contact of rods “5” and “6” causing the
electrical closing of the d.h.w. microswitch “8”.
At the end of the supply, the pressure difference upstream and downstream of the d.h.w. valve “3” is
cancelled out, allowing the valve to return to idle position.

GAS CIRCUIT

The circuit consists of an atmospheric burner and a modulating type valve for gas combustion and
gas flow adjustment respectively.

- OPERATION
When the main coils (3) are energised, both inner valve shutters open, allowing the gas to flow
towards the burner.
The flow rate/outlet pressure is regulated by means of the gas valve stabiliser and the modulation
coil.
By means of the burner nozzles (7), the fuel is injected into the venturi pipes (ramps) inside which
the air-gas mix is obtained that is ignited by the spark from the ignition electrodes (5).

- MODULATING GAS VALVE

The gas valve (Honeywell VK 4105 or SIT 845) features two main coils and a third modulation coil
controlled by the adjustment board.
The maximum and minimum outlet pressure settings can be made on this valve (see gas
adjustments).

Main electrical coils (3) SIT 845

Two coils of the ON-OFF type energised (230V
AC) by the adjustment board when the burner has to
be ignited.
In the case of the SIT 845 valve, the two coils are
electrically connected in parallel, while in the case
of the Honeywell VK 4105 valve, these are
connected in series and energised by mains power
rectified through a diode jumper inside the
connection connector (2).

Honeywell VK 4105
Modulation coil (1)
This is a low-voltage coil controlled by the
modulation circuit of the adjustment board.
This controls the gas valve stabiliser and permits
changing the outlet pressure in a way proportionate
to the signal that runs through it.

Technical documentation Technical documentation

- BURNER
From the boiler serial number 1604235 the burner consists of 12 horizontal venturi pipes (6) (ramps
were previously 11) in which the gas is injected by an equal number of nozzles (7) mounted on the
special collector (8).
Ignition occurs by means of the adjustment board which controls the ignition electrodes (5) and detection
electrode (4).

Ignition electrodes (5)

These are controlled by the ignition circuit of the
adjustment board which produces an electrical
spark that ignites the air-gas mix.
They are positioned on the front of the burner in
line with the centre ramp.

Detection electrode (4)

This is controlled by the adjustment board and
detects burner ignition.
It is positioned on the front of the burner on the
ramp alongside the ignition electrodes.

GAS ADJUSTMENTS
Max and minimum gas pressure adjustments
can be made by means of the gas valve
respecting the values shown on the tables
relating to each boiler for the type of
corresponding gas.

- CHANGING TYPE OF GAS

Adaptation to a type of gas different to that for which the boiler is intended, can be done by using
the special kits (natural gas or LPG).
The changeover consists in replacing the burner nozzles and in moving to the modulation board of
the “NATURAL GAS- LPG” (JP1) jumper.
The minimum and maximum pressures are then set on the gas valve in the way described above.
Adjustment of the minimum and maximum output during the heating phase and of burner ignition
pressure (see table below) can be done by means of the respective trimmers mounted on the
modulation board (see modulation board operation).

FLUE CIRCUIT

- OPERATION
The products of combustion, after investing the water-gas exchanger (1), are conveyed to a diverter (5)
on top of which the flue extractor (3) is fitted.
Fan operation ensures forced expulsion of the flue and, at the same time, creates a vacuum in the sealed
chamber (2) so the combustion air can be extracted from outside.
Correct flue extraction is controlled by a special pressure switch (4), the operation of which enables or
prevents the burner from igniting.

- AIR/FLUE SAMPLING POINTS (6-7)

In the top part of the sealed chamber are two
sumps with screw closing.
These are accessible from the front and can be used
to sample combustion air (6) and flue (7).

- SIGNAL PRESSURE POINTS

FLUE PRESSURE SWITCH (8-9)
In the top outer part of the sealed chamber, two
pressure points are located.
These feature screw fastening and make it possible
to measure the signal at the ends of the flue
pressure switch (4).
The positive pressure point (8) is connected inside
the sealed chamber by means of a silicone pipe
(10).
In the same way, the negative pressure point (9) is
connected to a Y-pipe (11) which is in turn
connected to the draught diverter (5) and to the
negative pressure point of the flue pressure switch
(4).

STEME ed 07/03 15 EOLO MINI

Technical documentation Technical documentation

- FLUE PRESSURE SWITCH (4)

This is positioned in the upper internal part of the sealed chamber and, by means of the special
points, detects the difference in pressure between the top of the draught diverter (the point where the
extractor is positioned and operates) and the inside of the sealed chamber.
The signal measured by the pressure switch varies according to the length of the extraction/exhaust
ends and can be measured by means of the special pressure points on the top part of the sealed
chamber (8-9).
When this trips, a switch (SV) is closed which controls the adjustment board and enables or prevents
the burner from igniting.

ON OFF
Switch on and switch-off pressure - Pa (mm H2O) 61 (6,1) 47 (4,7)

- FAN (3)
The extractor operates downstream of the combustion chamber and is fastened vertically to the top
part of the diverter (5) from which it extracts the flue and conveys these into the exhaust pipes to
which the boiler is to be connected.
This is controlled by the adjustment board and its operation essentially coincides with that of the
burner.

The consequent closing of the flue pressure switch (SV) causes the adjustment circuit to power the
REQUEST RELAY.
This way, the board ignition circuit is enabled (IGNITION SECTION) which first of all triggers the
ignition electrodes (E1 - E2) and then excites the RELAY V/G.
With the consensus of the overheating thermostats (TS1 and TS2 ), the closing of the contact of
RELAY V/G powers both coils of gas valve (VG).
Burner ignition is detected by the ionisation electrode (E3).

NOTE: Every time the boiler shuts off after reaching the set temperature, the adjustment circuit
stops burner operation in heating phase for 180/30 seconds.

ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT

DOMESTIC HOT WATER PHASE

(*) the main coils of the gas valve run at mains voltage rectified by means of a diode jumper only on the
Honeywell VK 4105 gas valve (diode jumper fitted on the valve connection connector)

(**) the overheating thermostat TS2 equipped the boiler until the serial number 2238340

Operation
When main switch (IG) is in SUMMER position, it powers the ignition and modulation board and
enables operation in d.h.w. phase.
When the domestic hot water microswitch (SS) is closed, following a d.h.w. request, the adjustment
circuit starts the circulator (MP) by means of the PUMP RELAY contact.
If the low-voltage circuit reads, by means of the NTC delivery sensor (NM), that the temperature of
the water is below that set on the control panel by means of the hot water potentiometer (D.H.W.),
the board starts the fan (MV) by triggering the FAN RELAY.
The consequent closing of the flue pressure switch (SV) causes the adjustment circuit to power the
REQUEST RELAY.
This way, the board ignition circuit is enabled (IGNITION SECTION) which first of all triggers the
ignition electrodes (E1 - E2) and then excites the RELAY V/G.
With the consensus of the overheating thermostats (TS1 and TS2 ), the closing of the RELAY V/G
contact energises both coils of the gas valve (VG).
Burner ignition is detected by the ionisation electrode (E3).

MODULATION BOARD

Inside the EOLO MINI control box is a microprocessor-controlled electronic board that, besides
performing the operations of the board equipping the NIKE Mini, controls the fan (MV) and flue
pressure switch (SV).
The EOLO Mini board can also be used on the NIKE Mini (and not vice versa) without any
adjustment or controls and safety device bypass being required.
N.B.: from the serial number 2238340 the p.c.b. has been modified due to the change of the safety
thermostats (see p.c.b. safety devices).
The new p.c.b. can replace the old one, but the contrary is not advisable because could trip the
overheating safety (TS1).
In any case, it is best to use the board equipping the ZEUS Mini boiler as a spare part as this,
after being suitably adjusted (see ZEUS Mini technical sheet), can be fitted to all the Mini versions
(NIKE, EOLO, ZEUS).

- OPERATION
Heating request
When the main switch (IG) is in WINTER position and the room thermostat (TA) contact is closed,
the adjustment circuit starts the circulator by means of the PUMP RELAY.
If the temperature read by the NTC delivery sensor (NM) is below that set using the heating
potentiometer (C.H.), the board powers the fan (MV) by exciting the FAN RELAY.
Consequent operation of fan (MV) causes the flue pressure switch contact (SV) to close, thereby
permitting the adjustment circuit to excite the REQUEST RELAY.
This way, the board ignition circuit is enabled.
This first of all triggers the ignition electrodes (E1 - E2) and then, by means of the RELAY V/G, the
main coils of gas valve (VG).
During the ignition phase, the pulse signal sent to the modulation coil is restricted by the setting
made by means of the soft ignition trimmer (IGN. POWER.), while afterwards, after detecting the
presence of the flame by means of the ionisation electrode (E3), this goes to the minimum value set
on the gas valve.

STEME ed 07/03 24 EOLO MINI

Technical documentation Technical documentation

Subsequently, the signal varies in a way directly proportionate to the difference between the
temperature set by means of the heating potentiometer (C.H.) and that read by the NTC heating
sensor (NM) and, if necessary, increases so as to reach in 100 seconds the value set by means of the
maximum heating output trimmer (C.H. POWER).

When the set temperature is exceeded, the REQUEST RELAY contact is opened with consequent
switching off of the burner, the relighting of which for the same request is prevented for a time of
180 s / 30 s.

Domestic hot water request

Once the d.h.w microswitch (SS) has been moved, the burner ignites in the same way as in heating.
After detecting the presence of the flame by means of the detection electrode (E3), the signal to the
modulation coil is changed with reference to the difference between the delivery temperature
combined with the adjustment of the d.h.w potentiometer (D.H.W.) and the temperature read by the
delivery sensor (NM).
When the reference temperature is reached, the burner is kept operating at minimum power.
When the limit temperature is exceeded (85ºC), the REQUEST RELAY contact is opened. This is
closed again just as soon as the temperature drops.

NOTE. The board can be adjusted (see d.h.w. modulation switch JP2) so the regulation circuit opens
the REQUEST RELAY when the set value is exceeded.
The contact is closed again as soon as the value drops below that set.

Antifreeze request
With main switch (IG) in SUMMER or WINTER position, when the temperature read by the NTC
supply sensor (NM) falls below 8ºC, the board triggers the generator in heating phase with burner at
minimum heating output until a boiler temperature of 43°C is reached.
