    MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Before proceeding with any maintenance operation the boielr must be turned OFF and wait until has reached the room temperature. Empty the heating circuit only if absolutely necessary. Periodically check the proper operation of the smoke exhausting devices and of the flue duct. Do not perform any cleaning operation on the boiler using flammable liquids (gasoline, alcool, solvents, etc.) Do not leave flammable liquids or materials in the same room where the boiler is installed!

    11.3. Monthly maintenance Clean the fan impeller from buildups. Usually, with compressed air or a soft brush a perfect cleaning can be gotten. If the buildups are harder to be swept away, we recommend to work softly anyway to avoid unbalancing the fan subassembly, which may cause a noisy operation and a less efficient drafting action.

  • Page 58: General Technical Tips

    GENERAL TECHNICAL TIPS 13.1. Settings and maximum allowed temperatures High power boilers are often used to heat industrial plants in wood processing plants. In such situations, the different processes wastes are frequently used to fuel the boiler. Often the waste materials are very dry and contain synthetic resins and paints which should not be used as fuel.
  • Page 59: Consumable Materials

    13.6. Consumable materials The burner cast iron bar elements are high temperature proof and the cast iron used has a high resistance to the combustion gases. Therefore, they are well suited for many hours of operation, whose number will depend anyway upon the average boiler working temperature which is determined by many other factors, such as the type of wood more frequently used, its humidity degree, the number and duration of the standby periods, etc..
  • Page 60 Mounting warnings: the piece with longer slots must be firstly positioned on the boiler back plate side. The grate with longitudinal slots (pic. 1,2,3,4) is better suited with types of wood producing thinner ashes. When changing the grate for wearing related issues, it is important taking into adequate account the kind of wood usually used.
  • Page 61: Warnings

    13.7. Warnings Using wet wood (greater than 25%) and/or a total amount of fuel not suited for the heating system needings (with long stop periods with the wood chamber full of unburnt wood) is cause of relevant condensation issues in the wood chamber. Once a week, control the wood chamber steel walls.
