2 Safety information 4.9 Efficient and low-emission operation 4.10 Functional components Please note the following recommendations from the EU Energy Efficiency Directive: Use of a buffer tank Since maximum combustion is possible only in stan- dard operation of the boiler, and greater losses and higher emissions occur during the warm-up and burn- out phases, use of a buffer tank is recommended.
4.11 Innovative technologies Electrostatic dust collector To filter even the last remaining dust particles from the flue gas stream SOLARFOCUS has developed an integrated electrostatic dust collector. An elec- trode ionises the tiny dust particles, which then form a layer of dust deposits around the electrode. The elec- trode is cleaned automatically during the course of the heat exchanger cleaning process.
