Installation
Installation is carried out in the following steps:
• Determining the Coal Boiler's installation location, taking into account flue
position, accessibility for coal delivery to the hopper, accessibility for future
servicing and availability of electrical connections and suitable locations for
water piping and pressure relief
• Applying for consent from the appropriate local consenting authority
• Once consent is granted, installing the appliance in its final location
• Installing the flue
• Installing the sealed water circulating system
• Commissioning
Installation Location
Careful consideration must be made as to the location of the Coal Boiler. Noise
sensitive areas, such as near bedrooms or living areas, should be avoided. Ideally it
would be installed somewhere with ease of access in order to fill the appliance with
fuel and service it easily, but somewhere such that children do not have access to it.
The appliance should never be installed inside a dwelling, except in a purpose
designed and built boiler room or shed.
The Coal Boiler site must be provided with permanent adequate ventilation. An area
2
of 18,000 mm
(or the equivalent to Ø150mm, or a rectangle 180mm x 100mm ) is
required. If the area under doorways is not sufficient, then ducts or louvres must be
installed to maintain ventilation. Never allow the ventilation to be obstructed as this
will adversely affect the performance of the Coal Boiler.
The Coal Boiler must be installed on a non-combustible base, ideally a concrete
foundation. It must be securely fixed to this foundation in the event of an earthquake.
If the Coal Boiler is to be installed on a heat sensitive floor covering, a floor protector
must be installed. The minimum clearances to combustible surfaces around the Coal
Boiler must be maintained for safety.
The Coal Boiler needs to be supplied with a standard electrical wall socket with
isolating switch within 1m of the rear of the appliance.
The Coal Boiler must not be in an area where it will be subject to sustained, direct
sunlight, especially on the controls. The Coal Boiler electronics are sensitive to both
extremes of hot and cold, as well as excessive humidity. Mount the controller on a
wall close to the boiler in a position sheltered from heat and dust.
The Coal Boiler must not be installed in an area where it can be rained upon, or have
water dripping on it. It must not be in an area that may flood. Careful consideration
must be given to the likely weather conditions in the Coal Boiler installation location,
