HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Special care must be taken when installing the boiler such that the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act are met. Handling Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling. Fire Cement Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin.
3. Greenflame System Features The data plate contains important information on the type designation of the appliance. You will find this on your system mounted on the control panel cover . The boiler is located on the left hand side of the unit with the burner located underneath the integral storage hopper.
3.1 Greenflame Boiler Features The heat exchanger has been designed and developed to provide maximum efficiency and combustion quality as well as not having to compromise on space. The compact nature of it’s design has allowed the integral hopper to be incorporated as part of the overall unit.
3.2 Fillomatic Pellet Transport Features The integral hopper has a capacity of up to 125 kgs of pellets. Filling of the hopper is carried out automatically by the Fillomatic pellet transport system. The pellets are auger fed from the base of the hopper to the top of the drop feed pipe where the pellets free fall into a cell wheel and down into the pellet burner.
3.3 Self Cleaning Burner Features The self cleaning burner system allows the burner to maintain optimum combustion by maintaining the combustion tube in a clean condition. The cleaning process is activated after each time the system goes into an extinguishing phase (or after a number of run cycles as required).
3.4 Control System The TR Engineering Ltd Greenflame Control System leads the way in combustion efficiency and control and is also at the cutting edge in communications technology and providing the user with useful information related to their Greenflame system. The main features of the Greenflame control system include : •...
4. Installation Careful consideration and time spent planning the boiler room and fuel store will prevent delays when it comes to installing the system. It is recommended that a survey of the plant room should be forwarded to TR Engineering Ltd for review so they can advise the best solution for locating the boiler and fuel transport systems.
4.2 Unpacking The TR Engineering Ltd Greenflame Pellet Boiler System is delivered in a single crate. Remove the wooden crate, cardboard packaging, polystyrene packing, and bubble wrap packaging and recycle in the appropriate manner. The following items should accompany you Greenflame pellet boiler system : Fillomatic Pellet Transport System ...
4.3 Assembly The Greenflame is supplied fitted to it’s base permanent base for ease of lifting and assembly. The Greenflame boiler is “plug and play” with just the connection of the flue, hydraulic system and electrical system. The only items that need to be fitted to the Greenflame are the ash box, exhaust fan housing and the pellet cyclone.
4.4 Flues Use stainless steel twin walled insulated flue pipe to flue your Greenflame. An exhaust fan is used to extract the combustion gases from the firebox. This creates a negative pressure in the firebox and a positive pressure in the flue system. The longer the flue pipe and more elbows used in the system, the greater the flow resistance.
Page 18
Chimneys taller than 6m above the connection will require a draft test to determine if the draft is too high. Note: The High Burn Draft should not exceed 50Pa. A draft stabiliser is fitted to the starter flue to counteract a certain amount of excessive draft but additional measures may be required.
4.6 Flue Requirements A natural draught must exist in the boiler when connected to the flue and this will be checked by the Commissioning Engineer before the burner is run. If this is not the case then the customer must take the necessary measures to ensure a draught like increasing the flue height or fitting an anti downdraught cowl.
Page 20
The chimney or flue must have a cross-sectional area throughout its whole length that is at least the area of flue outlet of the boiler and must be sealed to the boiler with fire clay or other suitable compound. The chimney or flue should be of sufficient height to provide draught of min. 25Pa measured at the test hole in the top of the boiler.
Page 21
Opening of the flap on the regulator differs depending on the adjustment as well as the draught in the chimney. The draught varies considerably depending on the chimney, the weather and if the burner runs or not. This means that the function can vary between different installations, e.g.
4.7 Air Supply Free Air Requirements - Provision for air for combustion and ventilation: General: A sufficient permanent air supply to the appliance will be required for: (a) Correct combustion of fuel an effective discharge of combustion products to the open air.
Page 23
The warranty for such boilers could be affected if proper free air requirements are not provided. TR Engineering Ltd recommend that two air vents should be provided into the room containing the appliance. One should be located at least 100mm above finished floor level and the other at high level.
4.8 Water Connections The diagram below indicates the plumbing connections at the rear of the boiler. Two flow connections and two return connections to run separate circuits to the DHW cylinder and the heating. 2” BSP Flow 1” Drain 2” BSP Return It is recommended that the boiler is plumbed into open vented system (the maximum static head of water permissible is 90 ft.
Page 25
TR Engineering Ltd recommend the use of a buffer tank. Buffer tanks (direct cylinders) can achieve the optimum running of the system in terms of efficiency and running costs. Once the plumbing has been completed the system should be fully flushed to clear any debris which may have become lodged in the pipe work.
4.9 Electrical Connections Electrical installations should only be carried out by suitably qualified and certified electricians. If in doubt on any issue relating to the electrical connections on the appliance contact TR Engineering Ltd Energy Technical Support or your Local Dealer for guidance before carrying out any connections.
5. Digital Control System The BMS (Boiler Management System) controls all functions of the boiler and associated hardware (i.e. circulation pump, mini hopper auger motor, exhaust fan, etc.). The control panel display indicates the system state at which the boiler is running in real time as well as providing the Customer with a user friendly way of adjusting temperature and identifying clearly any issues which may occur system.

7.3. What happens when I turn on my boiler ? When the TR Engineering Ltd boiler is given an signal to turn on (either by a remote time clock which is usually in the house or switched on at the digital controller at the boiler) the system goes through a series of steps : 7.3.1 Check Up Time : Approx 15 seconds (TIMER t08)
7.3.4 Variable Ignition Time : 4 minutes (TIMER t02) This stage starts the ignition process. The heat from the ignition element is directed at the pellets by the combustion fan which runs at a relatively slow speed. At intervals the auger introduces more pellets once the flame has begun to establish.
7.3.6 Run Mode During run mode the combustion rates are pre-set for the 5 different power levels. On entering this phase the system starts at Power Level 1 and after a 20 second intervals increases a Power Level each time until Power 5 is reached.
7.3.8 Standby / Extinguishing / OFF The system goes into STANDBY when the water in the boiler reaches it set temperature and the system goes into an extinguishing mode. The auger stops feeding pellets to the burner. The Belimo valve closes the burn back protection plate. The combustion fan and exhaust fan will run at full power until all light in the burner has extinguished and the temperature in the flue has decreased to a safe temperature.

CAUTION: Hot while in operation. Do not touch. Keep children, clothing, furniture, and other combustible material out of the installation clearance area. WARNING: Do not operate with chamber or ash removal doors open. Always ensure that the combustion chamber door on the boiler is fully shut after attending to the boiler.
8. Operation The TR Engineering Ltd Wood Pellet Heating system is designed with the user in mind. The system is fully automatic and only requires occasional intervention by the user. The system can be operated by a remote time clock, in the house or elsewhere, or by a room thermostat.
9. Maintenance As with all wood pellet heating appliances periodic maintenance is required to be carried out by the User and an annual service by you local Agent. WARNING: When carrying out periodic maintenance allows allow the boiler to cool down sufficiently after being shut down before opening the ash pan door.
10. Commissioning Commissioning may only be carried out by TR Engineering Ltd authorised personnel.
