KEPO AC 15 Installation And Operating Manual page 41

6. Do I need a chimney?
It is necessary to connect the boiler to an insulated chimney, 3m minimum height and ø130mm minimum diameter.
In its production program, Kepo has mountable, insulated inox chimneys. Contact us for further information on the
chimneys.
You must not in any way convey flue gasses via uninsulated flue pipes from the outside of the wall or outside of the
insulated area, as this will cause condensation and interfere with boiler operation and transmission of flue gasses.
7. Does the boiler have the automatic operation mode?
Yes, the boiler has an automatic operation mode, and it can be set in two ways: through automatic boiler control or via
room thermostat.
8. What is the pellet tank volume?
AC/MC 15 - 40kg
•
AC/MC 20 - 62kg
•
AC/MC 25 - 75kg
•
AC/MC 35 - 120kg

9. How often do I clean the boiler?
Boiler cleaning can be done regularly and generally, and the frequency depends on consumption. Regular cleaning is
done once in 3 to 7 days. General cleaning is done once a year. Boiler maintenance has a considerable impact on pellet
consumption and reliable operation.
The most common causes of automatic boiler shutdown are poor pellet quality and irregular maintenance.
10. How important is pellet quality for proper boiler operation?
It is one of the most important factors for proper boiler operation.
Parameters are set and the boiler is put into operation in accordance with conditions at the site of installation. When
the parameters are aligned with your chimney and oxygen inflow, pellet is the next thing that proper operation depends
on.
Quality pellets are never too expensive! By using quality pellets you avoid:
numerous servicing costs
•
automatic boiler shutdowns as a result of poor combustion in the ash pan
•
huge deposits of ash in the flue pipes resulting in more frequent boiler cleaning than planned
•
greater pellet consumption
•
The pellet boiler works in accordance with the principle of controlled combustion. Therefore, quality pellets are
indispensable for a smooth and economical operation.
