Maintenance and servicing
Regular checks of the pellet heating system are a prerequisite for reliable, efficient and environment-friendly
operation.
8.1 Maintenance
Maintenance, boiler cleaning and cleaning of flue gas connection are necessary at least once a year. Pellets
which produces tendentially more slagging (ash melting point <1300 ° C) and pellets with higher bulk density
(> 650kg) leads to additional cleaning of the burner plate at regular intervals.
8.2 Emptying the ash pan
Ashes should be placed in a metal / steel container with
a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a noncombustible floor or ground, well
away from all combustible materials, pending final dis-
posal. If ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or other-
wise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the
closed container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled.
Risk of burns
Use gloves.
Do not touch the boiler vessel.
Risk of fire
Do not empty ash into a flammable container.
Do not empty ash onto flammable floors or materials.
Do not dispose of ash until it has completely cooled
down.
Note:
Check the level of the ash box and empty it at regularl intervals (at least every 2 weeks).
