Boiler Start-Up; Lightning Up; Fuel Stoking - Orlanski ORLIGNO 200 Instruction Manual & Service Manual

5. Boiler start-up

Before boiler start-up it is advisable to check tightness of screw connections (leakages), level of
water in installation and properly set controller's parameters.

5.1. Lightning up

In order to light up in the boiler:
1. Turn off controller.
2. Push in the chimney flap ( combustion duct open).
3. Open upper door.
4. Put the paper, small pieces of wood and wood logs directly on the nozzle.
5. Light the paper and close the upper door.
6. Half-open bottom door to ensure natural draft.
7. Wait 15-20 minutes to create ember layer ( should be at least 10 cm of ember layer covering
whole loading chamber).
8. Fully load the boiler with wood; put the wood logs along the loading chamber.
9. Close hermetically upper and bottom door.
10. Pull chimney flap rod (chimney flap closed) and turn the fan on.
ATTENTION!
It is forbidden to turn the fan on with opened upper door.
ATTENTION!
Take into consideration loading chamber depth while stoking the boiler. Wood
dimensions larger than recommended may cause troubles during closing the upper
door. It is necessary to avoid closing upper door with force – it may damage the door.
ATTENTION!
Acceptable wood humidity of 25% is reached after 12 months of drying.
Recommended level of 15-20% is reached after 24 months of seasoning (Pic. 2)

5.2. Fuel stoking.

Burning period in Orlan boilers is 7-12 hours. In order to avoid discomfort with fuel stoking it is
recommended to check fuel level each 5-7 hours. To check fuel level and possibly stoke the boiler
one should:
1. Turn off the controller.
2. Open the chimney flap.
3. Open upper door and start stoking fuel.
4. Close upper door, chimney flap and turn on the controller.
Keep in mind that during the fuel stoking some wood parts may get between flue flange and
chimney flap which would make impossible to close the flap tightly.
During fuel stoking (it is recommended to stoke the fuel after wood fully burned till glow layer) stir
with poker ash deposited on the sides of loading chamber.
