INTRODUCTION
The DynaFlame® is a forced draft appliance utilizing a
premix power burner based on push through design which
offers several venting options. Heat output is controlled by
a one to one air/gas ratio control gas valve which provides
seamless modulation. The DynaFlame® provides central
heating and/or domestic hot water at working pressure up
to 160 PSI. It is designed for use with a fully pumped and
pressurized
system.
The
boiler/water
heater
will
automatically modulate to provide heat outputs between
100% to approximately 35% of rated input on non-
condensing models and down to 20% on near condensing
(DFX) and condensing models.
The DynaFlame® works on the principle of differential
pressure. The operation of the fan will generate a
differential pressure, which the gas/air ratio control gas
valve will match on the gas side. The steady state efficiency
is maintained across the entire range of modulation. Air and
gas are metered in precise proportion (1:1 Ratio) to
modulation signal, allowing combustion characteristics
which determine efficiency to remain the same over entire
operating range.
DynaFlame® Non-Condensing
In this series most of the sensible heat value is being
transferred into the water. The unused portion of the
sensible heat and all the latent heat is released through the
exhaust vent. The overall efficiency of the DynaFlame® is
being improved by incorporating preheat of intake
combustion air which consequently maintains the outer
panels cool and thus reduces jacket loss.
DynaFlame® Near Condensing
In this series most of the sensible heat value is being
transferred into the water. The unused portion of the
sensible heat is too small to maintain flue products in a
gaseous state. Therefore condensation is formed in the
vent. The defining characteristics of the DFX are reduced
vent sizes at reduced equivalent vent lengths of 50 ft, and
continuous modulation permitted down to 20% of input.

DynaFlame® Condensing
In this series most of the sensible heat value is being
transferred into the water. The unused portion of the
sensible heat and most of the latent heat is absorbed by the
Condenser Heat Recovery Module (CHRM).

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO OWNER
This manual supplies information for the installation,
operation and servicing of the appliance. It is strongly
recommended that this manual be reviewed completely
before proceeding with an installation
CAUTION
It is important that all gas appliances are installed by a
competent person. It is in your own interest and that of
safety to ensure that all local codes, and all the following
“NOTES” and “WARNINGS” is complied with.
To install, service or adjust this appliance, it is imperative
that a competent serviceman that is qualified by Camus®
Hydronics utilize a combustion analyzer with CO
2
, CO, and
draft gauge, to set the appliance according to Camus®
Hydronics recommendation, prior to commissioning.
