It is necessary to observe maximum wood humidity of 16-18 %. The higher wood humidity, the lower boiler power. During combustion of wet wood, water is separated and condensed on walls of the proper boiler drum and chimney body; it causes increased creation of tar and water steam, which decreases the service life.
Kindling Check water quantity in the heating system on the manometer. Open the stop valve between the boiler and heating system. Clean up the space in the bottom part of the combustion chamber (the space in front of the nozzle), fire grate, ash-pan, flue channels and boiler walls.
primary air (upper throttle valve) secondary air (lower throttle valve) III. tertiary air (rear throttle valve) Fig. №. 28 Flow of combustion air Operation After having reached of heating water temperature, modify the combustion air supply. It is necessary to adjust the primary air throttle valve and fit it so that the throttle valve of the stocking door was half-closed to 30 - 45 mm depending on specific properties of the fuel.
