1.INTRODUCTION 1.1. General information The Operation and Maintenance Manual is a manual for solid fuel boilers with automatic fuel feeding for users of central heating water-based boilers with a DuoKo-type pellet and eco pea coal burner. Familiarizing with the Operation and Maintenance Manual, which contains information about the construction, installation, and use of boilers is necessary for their proper and safe functioning.
operating and responsibility for safety is on the user, who should meet all requirements specified in the Operation and Maintenance Manual. In order to commission the boiler, carefully read the operating instructions for the burner, controller, and other equipment in order to understand the specifics of their operation, and strictly follow the provided terms of use.
natural environment. As fully automatic boilers, they are an economical alternative to both gas, oil, and coal boilers below class 5. 3. TECHNICAL AND OPERATING FEATURES The boilers have a simple integrated design. The operation of the boiler is simple and easy due to the use of an automatic and controlled fuel feeding system, which enables, among others, smooth adjustment of the boiler heat output and obtaining the outlet water temperature according to your needs.
For the version with an eco-pea coal burner, the basic fuel is hard coal in form of dry pea coal, energy pea with the parameters specified in the table below. In the event of using poor quality fuels, you should take into account the difficulties with combustion and reduction of boiler efficiency, as well as earlier destruction of the boiler and loss of warranty.

and ash pan doors as well as cleaning the convection ducts. All closed hatches are heat- insulated doors or covers. The boiler also has thermal insulation. The mechanical and feeder drive parts are covered and do not endanger the safety of operating.

on the left and right side, to be used depending on the needs. One of the return nozzles should be used in the system as a drain nozzle. In the upper part of the boiler, there are control and measurement nozzles of a temperature sensor, STB.
weather sensor readings. The possibility of cooperation with room thermostats, separate for each heating circuit, contributes to maintaining the comfort temperature in heated rooms. 6.1. Types of boiler protections The controller is equipped with emergency sensors and shuts down the boiler and signals emergencies with a light or sound on the desktop in the event of: - exceeding the max.
boiler positioning and installation. If necessary, you may remove the burner and bin that is located on to the body of the boiler. The way of moving and positioning the boiler should be adapted to the conditions of a room and surface, obstacles, inclines, etc.
The draft required for particular boilers is specified in Table 2. The required draft should be supported by the designer with calculations and choosing chimney duct parameters (diameter and height), taking into account climatic zones and terrain conditions. A regulator or draft generator is recommended. Flue gas condensation does not occur in normal operation and work of the boiler.

The manufacturer is not responsible for incorrect boiler operation caused by a faulty and non- compliant heating system. The refilling of the system with water can only be caused by losses due to water evaporation. Frequent refilling of water indicates leakage in the system and is not allowed. This may cause the boiler scale, which can lead to permanent damage to the boiler.

7.5. Protecting boiler in closed-loop system The most important requirements for DuoKo boilers protected in a closed-loop system with an expansion vessel. In accordance with applicable regulations, DuoKo-type boilers meet the requirements of EU directives at the design and production stage. When it comes to the operation, they are subject to UDT conditions.
integrated connection between reducing, filling, and blowoff valves. The filler valve connector/nozzle should be connected to the mains water source and the boiler return connector/nozzle, while the blowoff valve connector/nozzle should be connected to the boiler's supply connector/nozzle and drainage pipe. It is recommended to use an additional cooling system for hot water outflow from the boiler.

7.5.8. Requirements for closed-loop system operation Before commissioning, the manufacturer's or trained installer's service must check if all devices and equipment in a closed-loop system with an expansion vessel are working as they should. The check must be made by calling the simulated emergency condition in a controlled and safe manner. WARNING! During operation, the user is obliged to: - control of measuring instruments indications (manometer, thermometer),...
Table D.1 can be used as a guideline for choosing the size of the vessel. Please note that the values in Table D.1 refer to the maximum design temperature limit of 110°C and no reserve water capacity, that is, VWR = 0 liters; h) In cases where a chemical inhibitor is added to the heating medium, for example, to prevent corrosion in the system, pay attention to its effect on the expansion vessel and other components of the closed system.

- water reserve capacity, V , in liters. In addition to the water capacity resulting from thermal expansion, the expansion vessel should have a minimum water reserve to compensate for possible water losses in the system. The expansion vessel with a capacity of less than 15 liters should have at least 20% of its capacity as a water reserve.

directives, standards, technical specifications, the current state of the art, recognized engineering practice. WARNING! In order to draw the user's and operator's attention, the boiler has been marked with appropriate symbols, signs, notes in the Operation and Maintenance Manual about the risk of unauthorized use - which the user must strictly observe.
9. FILLING WITH WATER Before starting a fire in the boiler, fill the heating system with the boiler with water. The filling should be carried out in accordance with the instructions of the installer. To check whether the installation has been filled correctly, unscrew the valve on the signaling pipe for several seconds - the continuous flow of water from the signaling pipe means that the water fills the expansion vessel located at the highest point of the system, not just the signaling pipe.

personnel and, in justified cases, detailed instructions with written confirmation. It is also recommended to measure the emissions after the first commissioning. WARNING! When firing up a cold boiler, condensation may occur on the boiler walls, so-called sweating, giving the illusion that the boiler is leaking. This is a natural phenomenon that disappears after the boiler has warmed up.
If during loading dry and dusty fuel into the container dustiness is high, actions should be taken to reduce it to the minimum (for example by slow loading) or to use a closed fuel filling system for the container (for example screw conveyors, pneumatic transport). In necessary situations, use a system of appropriate sensors and dust signaling.

To remove them, open the front door and the cleanout covers. First, clean the flame tubes with a wire brush of the diameter adapted to the size of the flame tubes. Next, clean the vertical ducts of the reversing chamber taking down the contamination to lower surfaces of the convection ducts.
- turn off the power supply (remove the plug from the socket), which will stop the fuel feeder and remove ember from the furnace into the ash chamber or into container made of steel sheet. It is allowed to cover the embers with dry sand to quickly extinguish the fire. - make sure that you do not get burnt to be asphyxiated with carbon monoxide (spend short periods of time in the boiler room and if possible open doors or vents.
It is not allowed to make changes to the boiler and modifications in the heating system, supply, and ventilation, chimney, electrical and other installations that may affect malfunctions. The air and flue gas openings must not be covered. Qualified installers should be employed to carry out any changes and modifications. For safe and long-term use once a year an authorized service center must perform inspection.
- leaving the boiler during operation without supervision - carry out checks on the combustion process as necessary, at least several times a day. - successive checking of the operation protective measures of cooling system. - equip the boiler room with carbon monoxide and smoke detector. - making any modifications to the boiler, equipment devices, as well as the protection system.
