Sample schematic for an open vented heating system: The following diagram represents one method of connecting the Bio-Tec boiler to the accumulation tank and heating circuit in an open vented heating system. This boiler/tank connection is often called a serial connection. In this set-up the accumulation tank charging circuit (boiler to tank via boiler pump/Laddomat) is ‘decoupled’... -
Page 13: Locating The Boiler
The recommended sizing of the accumulation tank is a minimum of 50 litres of water storage per 1kW of rated boiler output, i.e. a 35kW boiler will require a minimum tank size of 1750 litres. The Bio-Tec boiler should only be operated when connected to an appropriately sized accumulation tank. -

½ “ 6.4 Flue Installation A properly sized and insulated twin wall flue is critical to the safe and efficient operation of the Bio-Tec boiler. Table 1 shows the components of the flue system provided by Firebird. Key considerations with the installation of the Bio-Tec flue are;... - Page 15 Bring the two sides of the insulation together as so that they almost meet. Step 4. Firebird recommends that you tie three belts around the insulation jacket as shown. Tie one around the upper half, one around the middle area and the other around the lower area.
- Page 16 6.6 Laddomat 21 Firebird recommends that a Laddomat 21 pump charging system is fitted with every Bio-Tec installation. The Laddomat 21 is installed as shown in the schematic in section 6.2 The key benefits of the Laddomat 21 are; •...
