Technical specifications The Wood Fired Boiler SMZ W 35 kW is intended for heating water for domestic use and to provide central heating. This requires the pre-installation of a central heating system and a hot water tank equipped with a heat exchanger (if you wish to use the appliance to supply domestic hot water).

Figures 5, 6a and 6b illustrate the basic requirements for installing the boiler flue. The bottom part of the tube installation must include a T fitting to facilitate periodic inspection and maintenance operations, as shown in the figure below. Double-walled stainless steel insulated pipes must be used and properly attached to avoid condensation.
Installation of ducts and fume extraction systems: The exhaust pipe must be designed for this specific purpose, in compliance with local requirements and applicable regulations. Important notice! The outlet end of the wood fired boiler exhaust pipe must be attached to a T-pipe with hermetic lid, to allow for the periodic inspection or discharge of heavy dust and condensates.
* A boiler thermostat, or aquastat, should be used and mounted at the hot water outlet pipe, as with the combustion regulator; * Solzaima recommends that the installation uses an open expansion vessel, with a 20-cm diameter pipe as a minimum, to connect the vessel to the boiler's recirculation circuit.
in the diagram, and should be set to close the primary air admission door when the temperature reaches 80°C – for an optimal performance of any of the appliances mentioned in this manual, the installation of the combustion auto-regulator is required.
Calculation method for the expansion vessel volume The volume for a closed diaphragm (membrane) expansion vessel for heating system installation is calculated as follows: where: V = vessel's volume (l); e = water expansion ratio. Calculated based on the maximum difference between the water temperature when idle and the maximum working temperature.
Solution: The above formula applies, where: e =0,035 standard value Pi = Phid + 0,3 + Patm = 1 + 0.3 + 1 = 2.3 bar Pf = Pseg + Patm = 3 + 1 = 4 bar therefore: V = (0.035 · 600) ÷ [1 - (2.3 ÷ 4)] ≈ 49.41 l You need to check the expansion vessel manufacturer's catalogue to chose a vessel with a volume similar or higher than the calculated volume.

First time use Before starting up the unit, please check the following: * Ask the installer to light up the unit to ensure its overall proper operating conditions; * When the unit is used for the first time, the paint goes through a curing process which may generate additional fume in the room.
Maintenance and cleaning The main concern with this appliance is to periodically clean the ashes that accumulate inside the unit and fume duct. To access the interior of the combustion chamber, you need to open the doors (Fig. 7a and 7b ). For the fume duct, you need to scrape the chamber´s inside surface using the poker (Fig.

Glossary Ampere (A): SI unit of measurement of electric current bar: unit of pressure equal to exactly 100,000 Pa. This pressure is very close to standard atmospheric pressure. cal (Calorie): it is the amount of heat required to increase one degree centigrade the temperature of one gram of water.
Page 25
mA (milliamp): unit of measurement of electric current. Pa (Pascal): standard IS unit for pressure and tension. This unit is named after Blaise Pascal, eminent French mathematician, physicist and philosopher. Heating capacity : also known as specific combustion heat. It represents the amount of heat released when a certain amount of fuel is completely burned.
The warranty applies only to defects in materials or manufacture. Exclusions: The type of fuel used and how the unit is handled are beyond SOLZAIMA's control, so any parts in direct contact with the flame, such as the ash grates, as well as the refractory coating wear, are not covered by this warranty;...
