    Revision of existing heating system piping may be appropriate to properly utilize the equip- ment. Although Tarm Biomass can provide advice and design detail on the integration of this boiler with the heating system of the building, the ultimate responsibility for the performance of the system rests with the installer.

  • Page 13: Boiler Installation And Startup

    It is critical to size the boiler properly. A proper, up to date heat load calculation is advised. An accu- rate history of building fuel usage over several years can help to calculate the proper size boiler. Boiler sizing is the responsibility of the installer. Tarm Biomass bears no responsibility for boiler sizing, but can provide sizing input.

    CAUTION ☼ Any plastic or rubber tubing used with a Tarm Biomass boiler must have an oxygen barrier, or boiler corrosion will occur. If radiant tubing without an oxygen barrier is installed, water in the tubing part of the heating system must be separated from the boiler. Separation of system com- ponents is typically done by using a heat exchanger.

    Port 2 of the Termovar and back to the boiler. Tarm Biomass recommends the use of the BLTCONTROL (available through Tarm Biomass) where the Solo Innova boiler is used with another backup boiler. BLTCONTROL is a three position control that allows switching between wood only, wood with automatic back-up, or back-up only, by control- ling the operation of the back-up auxiliary boiler.
  • Page 34 Boiler Installation & Start-up > Connections to the Boiler Tarm Biomass recommends the use of an additional Termovar valve model 6440AF (TV2) for most installations. Without TV2 it is possible that when a small zone is the only zone calling, a master bathroom zone for instance, all of the heat the boiler is producing is drawn to the small zone.
