Power Failure Provision; Venting Requirements - Viessmann KOB Pyrot KRT Series Technical Data Manual

Safety

Power Failure Provision

Customers must ensure that there is a supply of water
independent of the electrical supply. This design ensures
that in case of a power failure, the boiler will be reliably
cooled by the thermal run-off safety valve.

Venting Requirements

The PYROT Rotating Combustion system is equipped
with a flue gas blower.
This boiler must be properly vented. Use a vent material
certified for use with solid-fuel fired equipment.
This boiler shall be connected to:
a) a masonry chimney conforming to local regulations
or, in the absence of such regulations, to the requirements
of the National Building Code.
b) a certified factory-built chimney (refer to the NFPA 211
standard).
A flue pipe serving this boiler shall be constructed of steel
or other suitable material with a melting point of not less
than 2000° F (1100° C).
IMPORTANT
Do not use galvanized steel.

For installations in Canada:
The boiler venting system must be tested and listed by
a Nationally Recognized Testing Lab such as ULC/CSA
for solid fuel burning appliances.
The PYROT rotating combustion system is output-
controlled within a range from 30%-100% of the rated
boiler output. This produces flue gas temperatures from
min. 212° F (100° C) to max. 482° F (250° C).
An insulated chimney should be provided to prevent sooting.
The distance from the flue gas blower to the chimney
should be as short as possible. 90° elbows should be
avoided if possible. Flue gas pipes of more than 3 ft. (1 m)
in length must be insulated.
The connection to the chimney should be made such that
it rises at an angle of 30°- 45° (to prevent excess ash
accumulating in the lateral section of the vent pipe).
The flue gas line, including the lead-in into the chimney,
must be gas-tight.
