WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by Intended use / combustion technique The Walltherm ® is the first wood boiler stove using the gasification technique. Walltherm is an innovative, technologically advanced boiler stove for heating, burning fuels like firewood and wood briquettes providing a healthy and safe way of heating. This boiler stove features the dual primary and secondary combustion system with positive effects both on efficiency and on emission of “cleaner smoke”.

WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by Double combustion: What exactly do we mean by clean double combustion and how does it work? By controlling the flow of primary air and by adding secondary air, secondary combustion, or post-combustion, takes places. This is indicated by a second characteristically clearer and stronger flame.

WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by The chimney system After having found an appropriate place for installing the stove, please try to install the exhaust pipe, while taking into consideration paragraph 4.c. For the smoke outlet use rigid, varnished steel pipes (min. 1,5 mm) or high-grade stainless steel pipes (min.
Page 21
WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by Install an external or internal rain water protection to avoid contact between rain water and the stove body. The connection of more furnaces to one chimney is just allowed after agreement of the producer and chimney sweeper and a positive result of the draft calculation. In any case the combustion air inlet of the second heat source (furnace) has to be completely closed if it isn`t operating.

WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by 4.c Distance to flammable and non-flammable material The figures below (fig. 4.c.1 and 4.c.2) show the minimum distances to flammable materials and other items which have to be kept when installing the boiler stove. Please put install also a floor protection sheet if you have to protect a flammable floor.
WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by 4.d Combustion air Combustion air from the room: When working, the boiler stoves takes from the room in which he is installed a certain, small amount of air. Therefore air has to be supplied from outside through an opening to houses that possess controlled airing and ventilation systems.
Page 24
WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by The combustion air mustn`t be taken through an air channel from the roof. If necessary ask for permission from Wallnöfer and the chimney sweeper. The lighting phase of the boiler stoves would need much more time!! The external air channel Ø...
Page 25
WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by The function of the electrical air flap: Before lighting the boiler stove you push the “start” button on the controller WAL03 which opens the air flap for minimum 2 hours. Now combustion air can stream to the stove. After the 2 hours the flap remains open if the water temperature (heat exchanger) in the boiler stove is higher than 40°C.

Page 29
WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by Thermal process safeguard valve (Emergency cooling): For the security the Walltherm ® boiler stove is provided with a thermal process safeguard and it´s security heat exchanger. In case of an interruption in the water circuit, to avoid it´s overheating, the thermal process safeguard opens at 95°C and let pass cold water to the security heat exchanger to cool down the heating water inside the stove.
Page 30
WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by Further security systems in the water circuit: Pressure safety valve 3 bar: As an additional security we mount a pressure safety valve in the heating circuit of the boiler stove (between pump unit and boiler stove) which opens when the pressure raises over 3 bar.

Concept without safety fittings like expansion vessel, pressure safety valve, thermal process safeguard, domestic hot water mixing valve…. Key: 1 Thermal solar panels 2 Electric heating element (above hot domestic water, below heating water)
Page 32
WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by Advice for regulation heating circuit (radiators, floor heating) If the heating system is based on solar plant and the Walltherm boiler stove, it’s important to use a heating controller* adapted for the system. The floor heating and radiators can be activated only if there is enough hot heating water in the storage tank.

WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by 5.d Adjustment of the exhaust gas temperature (flue damper system) During wood gasification exhaust temperature is about 130 – 160 °C. Due to the low exhaust gas temperature, somebody might be thinking about a sootiness of the chimney. This is not the case, because during the lighting phase the chimney is being heated up and dried due to the temperatures of the lighting phase (300 –...
Page 48
WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by 5.e Permissible fuels Important preconditions: The fuels’ water content should be maximum 20 % (15 % would be the best). The wood logs have to be dry. The natural drying process lasts 1 ½ - 2 ½ years. This process can occur outdoors (covered up) and should be continued in an appropriate shed.
WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by Cleaning 6.a Cleaning the boiler stove The reactance of the Walltherm ® stove is not very hard, but must done faithful and careful to guaranty an efficient power output, an uninterrupted running an a long lifetime. Daily cleaning: Always remove the ash from the injector block and the grids before firing up the stove.
WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by Monthly cleaning: remove the ash under the grids. The grids need to be tilt up. The removing of the ash under the grids is very important for the combustion air, because the combustions air streams through the grids into the upper combustion chamber.
Page 51
WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by After cleaning the cover of the internal air channel, the injector block (attention on its direction!!) and the grids are to put into the upper combustion chamber. IMPORTANT: Right direction injector block: The openings on the injector block has to show to the doorside !! Look picture below Injector block (Openings on the front/doorside) Protection stone lower combustion chamber:...

WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by The cleaning of the flame wall is very important to guaranty a proper work. Keep the flame wall free of ash! A dirty flam wall reduce the draft of the chimney and the performance of the stove. The gaps need to be free! If necessary to put out the flam wall, you need to lift the injector block and then take it out with the fireplace poker! Flam wall with gaps...
Page 53
WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by Cleaning of the flue way channels every 2- 3 months: The cleaning of the flue way channels of the heat exchanger should be done every 2- 3 months! If the draft and the wood quality isn’t so good, the cleaning should be done more often.
Page 54
WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by Important: Every brush must hit the bottom of the lower combustion chamber to make sure every channel is completely cleaned! Repeat until the channels are free of ash remnants. The brush can be seen in the lower combustion chamber, when the brush hits the bottom and the flame wall is removed.
Page 55
WALLTHERM ® produced and developed by Edge/stop for correct position Flame wall After the cleaning, put the flame wall into the lower combustion chamber. Push till to the stop at the top of the combustion chamber. The upper bevel must point to the heat exchanger. The injector block should be cleaned as well.
