Weil-Mclain Ultra 310 Serie 1 Boiler Details

The Weil-Mclain Ultra 310 Serie 1 Boiler incorporates sophisticated PhD Technology (Precision hydronic Data). This intelligent system continuously measures heating system parameters to optimize hydronic heating and hot water delivery, thereby maximizing operational efficiency. It ensures precise temperature control and adaptable performance for diverse heating demands.

Key to its performance is the durable cast aluminum heat exchanger, designed for superior heat transfer and longevity. An advanced blower design, coupled with an air inlet silencer, contributes to the boiler's remarkably quiet operation, a significant advantage in residential or noise-sensitive environments.

The boiler features a smart gas valve that precisely controls gas flow by sensing the vacuum created in the venturi by the moving air. The venturi itself is crucial for pre-mixing air and gas before combustion, ensuring an efficient and clean burn. This integrated system allows for fine-tuned fuel delivery.

Temperature monitoring is extensive, with sensors for flue gas exit temperature, boiler outlet water, and return water. The flue gas sensor protects against overheating, while the water sensors allow the control module to constantly adjust the boiler's firing rate to meet demand and maintain target temperatures, optimizing comfort and energy use.

A high-grade stainless steel burner is employed, utilizing a pre-mixed air and gas combustion process. This design provides a wide range of firing rates, enabling the boiler to modulate its output from low fire to high fire to precisely match the heating load, leading to reduced fuel consumption and extended component life.

The advanced Control Module acts as the central brain, processing signals from room thermostats, water sensors, and optional outdoor temperature sensors. It intelligently adjusts blower speed and gas flow to match space heating and Domestic Hot Water (DHW) demands. This microprocessor-based control facilitates modulated operation and comprehensive system management.

For enhanced safety and control, the Ultra 310 includes multiple protection mechanisms. It offers integral low water protection by monitoring heat exchanger temperatures, shutting down if flow rates are too low or temperatures too high. Additionally, two levels of thermal overrun protection prevent excessive water temperatures, ranging from soft lockouts to hard lockouts requiring manual resets.

The boiler is equipped for outdoor reset operation, a feature that automatically adjusts the target supply water temperature based on ambient outdoor conditions, further increasing efficiency. A "supply temperature boost" mechanism can temporarily increase the target temperature during prolonged heat calls, ensuring comfort even when the initial reset curve might be too conservative.

The system prioritizes DHW heating. Upon a call from the DHW aquastat, the control module immediately switches the target outlet water temperature to 190°F and activates the DHW circulator, temporarily suspending space heating. This ensures rapid recovery for domestic hot water.

For installer convenience, the boiler includes an intuitive 4-digit electronic display and buttons for setting temperatures, showing operational status, and displaying troubleshooting codes. This simplifies setup, diagnostics, and routine adjustments, reducing service time.

Installation flexibility is provided, with options for either floor or wall mounting (with a separate kit). Strict guidelines are provided for vent and air piping, emphasizing direct venting and preventing combustion air contamination from common household products like chlorine, ensuring safe and efficient operation.

Water chemistry is critical for the aluminum heat exchanger. The manual stresses maintaining boiler water pH between 7.0 and 8.5, and hardness below 7 grains. It also strictly prohibits automotive or standard glycol antifreeze, recommending only approved freeze-protection fluids with proper system flushing to prevent damage and ensure longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Weil-Mclain Ultra 310 Serie 1 Boiler, and we answer them below.


What is Weil-Mclain's PhD Technology?
PhD Technology (Precision hydronic Data) is an intelligent system that delivers precision hydronic heating and hot water by measuring various parameters of your heating system to maximize efficiency.

How does the Ultra 310 boiler ensure quiet operation?
The Ultra 310 features an advanced blower design and an air inlet silencer, which work together to significantly reduce operational noise, resulting in very quiet performance.

What is the function of the flue gas sensor in the boiler?
The flue gas sensor monitors the flue gas exit temperature. If the flue gas temperature becomes too hot, the control module will shut down the boiler, protecting the flue pipe and heat exchanger from overheating.

How do I set the space heating target temperature for the boiler?
You set the space heating target temperature by accessing Parameter 4 in the control panel's 'Parameter' mode. Use the '+' or '-' buttons to adjust the desired outlet water temperature, then press 'Store' to save the setting. This temperature is either fixed or serves as the target for outdoor reset at 32°F and below.

What are the essential water chemistry requirements for the boiler?
For optimal performance and to protect the aluminum heat exchanger, boiler water pH must be maintained between 7.0 and 8.5, hardness must be less than 7 grains, and chlorine concentration less than 200 ppm. The system should also be thoroughly flushed of sediment before filling.

Can I use standard automotive antifreeze in the Weil-Mclain Ultra 310?
No, you must NEVER use automotive or standard glycol antifreeze. Only use freeze-protection fluids specifically recommended in the Ultra Boiler Freeze Protection Supplement. Improper fluids can severely damage the boiler and system components.

What immediate steps should I take if I smell gas near the boiler?
If you smell gas, do NOT try to light any appliance, touch any electric switch, or use any phone in your building. Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. If you cannot reach them, call the fire department.

How does the boiler's outdoor reset operation function?
When the outdoor temperature sensor is installed, the control module automatically regulates the target outlet water temperature based on the outside temperature. As the outdoor temperature rises above 32°F, the target supply temperature is proportionally reduced, increasing efficiency. A 'supply temperature boost' can occur if a call for heat exceeds 10 minutes.

What are the high limit temperature protections in the Ultra 310 boiler?
Besides the standard high limit shutdown, the Ultra 310 offers two additional levels of thermal overrun protection: Level 1 (soft lockout) if water reaches 203°F (b18/b19 code), and Level 2 (hard lockout) if water reaches 210°F (E18/E19 code), requiring a manual reset for the latter.

How often should the Weil-Mclain Ultra 310 boiler be serviced?
The boiler should be inspected and started annually, at the beginning of the heating season, by a qualified service technician. Regular maintenance and care, as outlined in the manual, are also required for maximum efficiency and reliability.

How do I clean the boiler's heat exchanger?
To clean the heat exchanger, the boiler must be shut down and cooled. The blower/venturi/gas valve/cover plate assembly (for 80/105 models) or burner cover plate (for 155/230 models) must be carefully removed. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove accumulations, or wash with clean, warm water if necessary. Always follow the ceramic fiber material handling instructions.

What is the difference between a 'soft lockout' and a 'hard lockout' for external controls?
A 'soft lockout' (connected to terminals 6 and 7) will cause the boiler to shut down, but it will automatically reset and resume normal operation once the limit condition is cleared. A 'hard lockout' (connected to terminals 6 and 8) requires manually pressing the 'RESET' button on the electronic display to restart the boiler after the condition has been corrected.

Is the Weil-Mclain Ultra 310 Serie 1 Boiler approved for installation on combustible flooring?
Yes, the Ultra 310 boiler is approved for installation on combustible flooring. However, it must never be installed on carpeting, even if a foundation pad is used, due to fire risk.

What are the natural gas supply pressure requirements for the boiler?
For natural gas, the inlet pressure at the gas valve port must not exceed 13" w.c. with no flow (lockup) or with the boiler on. The minimum pressure required is 4" w.c. with gas flowing, which should be verified during boiler startup at high fire.

How does the boiler provide low water protection?
The control module monitors temperatures at both the supply and return areas of the heat exchanger. If the flow rate becomes too low (indicated by too high a temperature difference) or either temperature becomes excessively high, the control module will shut down the boiler, preventing damage from low water or low flow conditions.
