150-180 boilers, but the S-CB PX 120 models can only be combined with the PX 120 model. Strebel Ltd can supply standard cascade systems with mounting frame, piping and low loss headers for up to four boilers in the 60-120 range, four boilers in the PX 120 range and even six in the 150-180 range. For cascades with more boilers, a dedicated system must be designed.
Cascade Selection Table When selecting a cascade set-up, follow the next steps: 1. First determine the total required power of the set. 2. Determine the best number of boilers required (q. in the table(quantity)). 3. Choose one of the combinations in the table below (even more combinations are available). 4.

Explanation of parts and groups Each cascade set exists of the following parts and groups: The number of S-CB type boilers as selected in chapter 2. The frame group (with locking plates) as determined by the number of boilers. Connecting groups to connect the boilers to the hydraulic groups (one group for each boiler, each group existing of 1 gas, 1 flow and 1 return connecting set).
Mounting the boilers on the frame All lines/piping must be mounted free of tension. The weight of all the components should be supported separately from the boiler so there is no force on the connections. This might influence the mounting position of the boiler.
Mounting the connecting sets First connect the connecting sets hand-tight to the boiler connections. In a cascade set-up, do NOT use the T-pieces delivered with the boilers. The shortest connecting set should be connected to the gas connection on the boiler. Make sure to connect the flow connecting set (middle length) to the boiler flow connection (left-side connection) and the return connecting set (longest) to the boiler return connection (right-side connection).

Low Loss Headers The low loss header can be mounted on the right-hand or the left-hand side of the flow and return headers, whatever is the best place to connect the headers to the heating installation. The opposite end of the flow and return headers must be blocked by the supplied caps or flanges.
EN 13384-2 “Chimney – Thermal and fluid dynamic calculation methods – Part 2: Chimneys serving more than one heating appliance.” Strebel Ltd Technical can advise on what software can be used for doing these calculations. Do not attempt to design common vent systems without the appropriate software and training.

Installation Complete the installation with all necessary parts, valves, non-return valves, strainers, air separators and expansion vessel, and connect the low velocity header to the heating installation (see hydraulic examples). Mount the flue gas and air supply lines according to the recommendations of the S-CB / S-CB PX 120 manual and the recommendations in chapter 10.

Parameter change is needed. Set parameter C3 (P5DC) to “0”’ (default = “1”). See Chapter 12.3 for setting procedure. IMPORTANT NOTE: The hydraulic piping of the Strebel cascade systems already contains non-return valves underneath each boiler. When other hydraulic systems are used, non-return valves must be fitted in the return pipe of each boiler.
Parameters Before commissioning the cascade installation, a number of parameters has to be changed. These parameters can be programmed on the unit itself, without the use of a computer. Changes in parameter may only be carried out by a skilled commissioning/service engineer, who has had specific training for setting up the S-CB / S-CB PX 120 range boilers.

Cascade control 13.1 Output control The total cascade set-up will act as one single big boiler, switching on- and off boilers, depending on the total load necessary to adjust and keep the flow temperature at the calculated value. When the heat demand rises, more boilers are switched on, and when heat demand falls, one or more boilers will be switched off.
