Safety Design Information The appropriate supervisory authority (inspection agency) must always be informed when installing or modifying a heating system, and authorisation must be obtained from the building authorities: Austria: report to the construction authorities of the community or magistrate Germany: report new installations to an approved chimney sweep / the building authorities.
Safety Design Information 2.4.4 Requirements for central heating water Unless contrary to other national regulations, the latest versions of the following standards and guidelines apply: Austria: ÖNORM H 5195 Switzerland: SWKI BT 102-01 Germany: VDI 2035 Italy: UNI 8065 Observe the standards and also follow the recommendations below: ❒...
Safety Design Information Additional requirements for Switzerland: The filling and make-up water must be demineralised (fully purified) ▪ The water must not contain any ingredients that could settle and accumulate in the system ▪ This makes the water non-electroconductive, which prevents corrosion ▪...
Safety Design Information 2.4.6 Return lift If the hot water return is below the minimum return temperature, some of the hot water outfeed will be mixed in. CAUTION Risk of dropping below dew point/condensation formation if operated without return temperature control. Condensation water forms an aggressive condensate when combined with combustion residue, leading to damage to the boiler.
Safety Design Information 2.4.7 Combination with storage tank Observe the regional regulations for using a storage tank! Certain subsidy guidelines prescribe compulsory requirements for the installation of storage tanks. Up-to-date information about individual subsidy guidelines can be found at www.froeling.com. General information Channelling the heat generated by the Firewood boiler to a storage tank can bring major advantages, including:...
For the correct dimensions of the storage tank and the line insulation (e.g. in accordance with ÖNORM M 7510 or guideline UZ37) please consult your installer or Froling. 2.4.8 Chimney connection/chimney system EN 303-5 specifies that the entire flue gas system must be designed to prevent, wherever possible, damage caused by seepage, insufficient feed pressure and condensation.
Safety Design Information 2 x D In front of the measuring port (M) a straight inlet section should be located at a distance corresponding to about twice the diameter (D) of the connecting piece. A straight outlet section at a distance corresponding to about the single diameter of the connecting piece should be provided after the measuring port.
