Boiler operation BOILER OPERATION The heating operation is performed with log wood or pellet. Due to the separate combustion chambers there can be flexible switched between log wood and pellets operation. Preparation for heating up with log wood If possible, store enough fuel for two or three combustion processes near the boiler room.
The first start-up should only be rectified by the lambda control. carried out by HERZ factory customer service or persons authorised as such. Boiler operation Boiler in combination mode The boiler starts up automatically with its built-in automatic ignition, when heat is required.
Boiler operation Commissioning The commissioning must be carried out by HERZ factory customer service authorised specialist. pressure measurement conducted additionally after boiler has been operated with the actual fuel for > 1 hour and a flow temperature of 70-85 °C.

Temperature manager TEMPERATURE MANAGER The heat demand of the individual modules (boiler, hot water tank, heating circuit, solar, etc.) is controlled by the temperature manager. The below-mentioned scheme explains the functionality of the temperature manager. From the individual modules the MUST-temperature is determined and to that an adjustable temp. increase is added.
Page 20
Temperature manager If the required buffer-top-temperature (required temperature) is higher than the sum of buffer-bottom-MUST- temperature and the set difference, then the required boiler temperature is the result of the required buffer- top-temperature (required temperature) + the adjusted temp. increase (see figure 8.2). Caution: Consider the set minimum requirement Figure 8.2: Example temperature manager with buffer and without difference If the required buffer-top-temperature (required temperature) is lower than the buffer-bottom-MUST-...

Temperature manager If there is no buffer in the system, then the MUST-temperature from the individual modules is determined and to that an adjustable temp. increase is added. The highest of these temperatures is the boiler-MUST- temperature. To this an adjustable hysteresis is added and the result is the boiler-END-temperature (see figure 8.4).
