The HDG Euro 30/40/45/50 boiler is ready for automatic ignition.
In Germany, there is a legal requirement that heating systems with
nominal thermal power in excess of 4 kW be inspected annually by a
qualified combustion engineer to see that federal emission limits for
small and medium-sized boiler systems are met (1st Federal Emission
Control Ordinance).
The operating company must notify the responsible combustion
engineer of the installation of the heating system before it is
commissioned, and must also arrange an appointment for the
chimney sweep test within four weeks of commissioning. To ensure
a stable operating ability, sufficient heat transfer must occur while
operating at full load.
In Germany, regular inspections every two years must be carried out
in accordance with the requirements of the federal emission limits
(1.BImSchV).
Caution!
Material damage and injury due to incorrect chimney sweep test
The chimney sweep test requires comprehensive technical
knowledge.
Only allow authorised specialists to perform the chimney sweep
test.
