BOILER HDG F20-50
GENERALINFORMATIONThe HDG F20-50 is a special boiler for the firing of wood up to 50 cm
in length. The HDG controls system regulates the combustion and
output as well as the weather-compensated heating. The HDG F2050 boiler and the HDG controls system are harmonised with one
another and form a functional unit. This enables wood to be
converted into heat energy in an environmentally sound and
convenient manner.

OMBUSTIONPROCESS
16
Figure 3/4 - Boiler HDG F20-50
Inside the HDG F20-50 boiler, fuel which has been manually placed in
the fuel chamber (4) and ignited is degassed through the addition of
primary air. It can also be ignited automatically using the ignition fan
(7). The resulting wood gas is mixed with secondary air in the
combustion chamber (2) where it is burnt off.
Ashes are collected in the large ash compartments (6) for
combustion ash and fly ash.
The air necessary for combustion is supplied as required via the
suction fan (8) and two actuators (5) with metering mechanisms.
The lambda sensor, the boiler temperature sensor and the flue gas
temperature sensor are used to do the following:
•To continuously monitor the firing
•To adjust the boiler output
Page 17

3.4 Fuel quality requirements
The HDG F20-50 boiler is designed for the standard use of burning
untreated wood in the form of logs or pressed wood briquettes.
With regard to the quality standards for solid fuel the DIN EN ISO
17225 “Biogenic solid fuel - fuel specifications and classes classification of wood chips” applies.
•Part 5 “Classification of log wood”
•Part 3 “Classification of wood briquettes”
In accordance with this standard, the properties of fuels that can be
used with the HDG F20-50 are specified below in more detail.
LOGWOOD
Essential criteria are the length, diameter and water content of the
fuel.
L
ENGTHANDDIAMETERFor the log wood boiler HDG F20-50, firewood with a length of up to
50 cm (L50) can be used. The maximum diameter of the firewood is
specified as D15 (diameter of maximum 15 cm).
The firewood must be split at least once so as to provide an optimal
surface for gasifying the wood. The major proportion of the firewood
should measure between 8 and 12 cm in diameter.
W
ATERCONTENTWhen selecting fuel, note that the calorific value of the wood is
20
primarily dependent on the water content. The more water
contained in the wood, the smaller the calorific value, since the water
vaporises in the course of the burning process and thereby
consumes heat. This leads to a decreased efficiency and thus to
higher fuel consumption. A higher water content in the fuel also
results in a steadily decreasing output of the (central-heating) boiler,
Page 21
3 Mode of operation – Fuel quality requirements
greater amounts of ash and smoke, as well as making it increasingly
unfit for storage. In addition, this can lead to extensive tarring of the
boiler, the flue pipe and chimney, and cause a chimney fire.
Logs should therefore be split before they are cured. This is done in
order to achieve a water content which makes them suitable for
burning within a reasonable amount of time (approx. two years).
The maximum permissible water content of log wood for the HDG
F20-50 is 20% (M20).
For technical considerations, a representative calorific value is
selected depending on water content. For burning that is both
economical and low on emissions, the calorific value should not be
less than 4 kWh/kg.

30.0 %42.9 %3.4 kWh/kg120 %
Table 3/3 - Calorific value depending on water content
PRESSEDWOODBRIQUETTES
Pressed wood briquettes are pressed shavings, with or without
various forms of additives, with a diameter of more than 25 mm.
Essential criteria for the definition of the property classes are the
length and diameter, moisture content and ash content of the fuel.
ENGTHANDDIAMETER•D100/L500
L
The diameter of the briquettes must not exceed 100 mm and the
length must not exceed 500 mm.
W
ATERCONTENTThe water content must not exceed a maximum of 12 % (M12) for
property class A1 and a maximum of 15 % (M15) for property class A2
and B.
A
SHCONTENTThe ideal ash content is a maximum of 1.0% by weight (A1.0) which
complies with property class A1. When using pressed wood
briquettes with a higher ash content (A2 and B) , secondary measures
(filter technology) may be necessary for complying with the dust
emission values according to the 1st Federal Emission Control
Ordinance (2nd stage).
RECOMMENDEDFUEL
It is important that fuel is used according to HGD fuel specifications
in order to guarantee compliance with emission limit values
according to the 1st Federal Emission Control Ordinance (1st and
21
Page 22
3 Mode of operation – Fuel quality requirements
2nd stage). In particular, all fuel requirements concerning size, water
content and ash content must be met. Without the use of secondary
measures (filter technology), only fuels of property class A1 are
suitable for this in each case.
Pay particular attention to the fuel quality, both when ordering and
at delivery.
Important!
If there is a significant change of fuel, the system must be reset
accordingly and checked for emissions by authorised specialists.
HDG recommends log wood with a length of L50 (50 cm), a
maximum diameter of D15 (max. 15 cm) and a water content of M20
(20%). For kindling, we recommend log wood with a diameter of D5
(2–5 cm).
PERMITTEDFUELINACCORDANCEWITH 1ST FEDERAL EMISSION
CONTROL ORDINANCE (GERMANY)
Additional quality requirements apply in Germany independently of
the fuel specification in accordance with DIN EN ISO 17225. In
accordance with section 3 (1) of German law (1. BimSchV), the fuel
classes 4, 5, 6, and 7 may be used in the HDG F20-50 heating system.

BOILERINSTALLATIONSITE
APPLICABLEREGULATIONSLocal building regulations always apply. In Germany, individual state
regulations on boilers and furnaces also apply.
Building regulations may differ from country to country and state to
state.
For this reason, consult a qualified specialist for the planning and
installation of your boiler room.
Make sure there is an adequate supply of fresh air to the furnace
room so that there is enough air available for the combustion
process in all of the installed boilers, and to protect the operator from
the hazards of insufficient oxygen.
I
NSTALLATIONA base is not necessary for installation of the boiler. Ensure alignment
on a horizontal plane.
Observe the fire safety regulations.
To ensure unhindered operation and maintenance of the heating
system, it is imperative that the heating system is installed in
accordance with the specifications of HDG Bavaria GmbH and that
the minimum spacing requirements are observed.
Also note that the thresholds in DIN 4109 “Soundproofing in building
construction” may not be exceeded.
More detailed information can be found in the relevant local and
national regulations.
Also observe the accident prevention regulations of the official
safety organisations.
We recommend that objects which are not needed for the operation
or maintenance of the heating system are not stored in the furnace
room.
REQUIREDROOMSIZESANDMINIMUMCLEARANCES
Important!
When installing the pipes for the heating system, observe the
dimensions of the boiler and ensure the minimum clearances.

4.3 Connections
CHIMNEY
According to EN 303-5, the entire flue system must be installed in
such a way that contamination, condensation and insufficient flue
draught are avoided. Here note that, in the accessible operational
area of the boiler, flue gas temperatures of less than 160 K above
room temperature may arise.
✎ The required flue gas values are listed in chapter “3 Mode of
operation”, section “3.3 Technical data”.
The benefits of the HDG F20-50 can only be enjoyed if all of the
prerequisites for good combustion are ensured. The heating system
and chimney form a single functional unit and must be adapted to
one another in order to guarantee fault-free and economical
operation.
Since the flue gas temperature may lie below 100°C when the system
is under partial load, a chimney/flue is required which meets the
requirements of DIN EN 13384-1: 2003-03 “Thermal and fluid
dynamic calculation methods”. If it does not meet this standard,
contact your specialist heating company or chimney technician.
When planning the flue system, a flue calculation based on DIN EN
13384-1 must be performed by authorised specialists.
Another essential criterion is meeting the flue draught requirement.
This depends on three major factors.
C
HIMNEYCHARACTERISTICSThe requirements for minimising the draught loss in the chimney are:
•Good thermal insulation to avoid the flue gases cooling down too
quickly.
•Smooth interior surface to reduce the flow resistance.
•A tight seal of the chimney to avoid outside air leaking in. Air
penetrating from the outside speeds up the cooling of the flue
gases.
These requirements correspond to chimneys of the type conforming
to DIN EN 13384-1: 2003-03 “Thermal and fluid dynamic calculation
methods”.
Free-standing chimneys require particularly good insulation.
HIMNEYDIMENSIONSThe system may only be connected to a chimney which has been
C
dimensioned in accordance with DIN EN 13384-1, taking into
account the fuel planned and the expected load, and which meets
local building regulations for the installation site.
26
A chimney can only be designed with full knowledge of the on-site
conditions. This includes taking into account the following factors:
•Building location
– Surrounding hills/slopes
– Wind direction
Page 27
4 Planning and installation – Connections
•Location of the chimney in the roof
2
A
B
1
– The opening of the chimney must be at least 0.5m above the
highest edge of roofs with a slope of more than 20° or at least
1.0 m higher than roof surfaces which slope at 20° or less.
•The effective height of a chimney is measured from the flue
entrance into it to the end of the chimney.
ONNECTINGTHEBOILERTO
C
THECHIMNEY
The firing system must be connected with a connecting piece which
is as short as possible, at an angle which is less than 30 - 45° to the
chimney. You should aim for a connecting piece with a maximum
length of 1 m using just one fitting.
Every additional fitting results in a greater pressure loss in the
exhaust path and should thus be avoided. The same is true for overly
long connecting pieces. If, for constructional reasons, these must be
longer than 1 m, they should be adequately insulated (at least 5 cm
of mineral wool or equivalent material) and, if possible, fitted with an
upward inclination.
1 Auxiliary air unit
2Cleaning door
A) Chimney approx. 30° - 45°
B) Clearance at least 50 cm
Figure 4/3 - Chimney connection
The following should also be considered:
•The connecting piece may not protrude into the chimney.
•If the system flue gas pipe has a larger diameter than the chimney,
the connecting piece must reduce its diameter to that of the
connection. In this case, the connecting piece should taper as
gently as possible.
•Use bends rather than elbows; the radius of the elbow may not be
less than the diameter of the pipe.
•The chimney should be vertical and straight, if possible without
deformations (take particular care in older buildings).
•All of the cleaning doors and measurement hatches on the
chimney must have tight seals.
•To reduce the entry of additional cold air, only attach one heat
generator per chimney.
•To prevent dust from escaping, the flue pipe must be sealed with
heat-resistant silicone.

4 Planning and installation – Connections
ELECTRICALSYSTEM
The instructions in 2006/95/EC (low voltage directive) must be
followed for the electrical connections to the system. The electrical
connection must be made on a separate isolating unit.
✎ The required connection values are described in chapter “3 Mode
of operation”, section “3.3 Technical data”.
WATER
Important!
The heating system must be filled with water in accordance with
VDI guideline 2035, “Avoiding damage in hot water heating
systems”.
Antifreeze agents may only be used after prior consultation with
HDG.
USINGANACCUMULATORWhen calculating the thermal requirements of buildings, e.g.
according to DIN EN 12831 “Method for calculating the normal
heating load”, the lowest outside temperature of the relevant climate
zone (e.g. -15 °C) is used. These conditions only apply a few days per
year, thus, the thermal performance of the heating system is greater
than required on most days when heating is needed.
As the boiler for this system is rated for a nominal load, the use of an
accumulator is required.
The size of the accumulator must be adapted to the boiler type, the
type of wood and the building's heating requirements. In terms of 1.
BImSchV, the minimum capacity of the accumulator is 12 litres per
litre of fuel chamber capacity; however, the required 55 litres per kW
of nominal thermal power must be maintained.
For the HDG F20/25/30 boiler, the minimum accumulator volume is
2000 litres and for the HDG F40/50 it is 3000 litres.
Important!
Please also observe DIN EN 303-5 as well as the individual comfort
requirements of the customer for the capacity of the accumulator.
S
AFETYDEVICESSafety devices (e.g. boiler safety module, insufficient water cutout,
etc.) must be installed in accordance with DIN EN 12828: 2003
“Design of water-based heating systems in buildings”.
R
ETURNTEMPERATURE
CONTROL
Operating temperatures which are too low significantly shorten the
service life of the boiler. Water vapour contained in the flue gas could
be released in the form of condensation if the temperature drops
below the dew point (approx. 50 - 55 °C), especially in the area
28
Page 29
4 Planning and installation – Hydraulic connection
around the water-cooled heat-exchanger surfaces. This
condensation, in combination with combustion residue, can lead to
corrosion.
For these reasons, a return temperature control must be installed for
the HDG F20-50 heating system. The return temperature control
causes the water from the boiler return flow to be mixed with the
water from the boiler supply flow until the minimum return
temperature has been reached.
✎ The minimum return temperature is listed in chapter “3 Mode of
operation”, section “3.3 Technical data”.
The control of the return temperature is handled by the HDG controls
control unit.
The return temperature control consists of a 3-way mixing valve with
a 230 V servo drive (running time 120-240 s) and a circulation pump
from energy efficiency class A. For the HDG F20-50, we recommend
The pipe dimensions must be adapted to meet the requirements at
the site. Take the water-side connections of the boiler for the supply
and return into account.
✎ See chapter “3 Mode of operation”, section “3.3 Technical data”.
The return temperature control may not be further than 5 metres
from the boiler.
The hydraulic system must be installed in accordance with specific
technical principles of heating engineering. Take into account the
stop cocks required for maintenance work and repairs.
The return temperature control is not designed for the use of a
gravity brake and this should therefore not be installed.
The return temperature control must be installed according to the
specifications of HDG Bavaria.
4.4 Hydraulic connection
The hydraulic connection depends on the schematic diagram
selected in the respective HDG controls system.

45
Page 46
4 Planning and installation – Connecting the thermal safety device
4.10 Connecting the thermal safety device
In accordance with DIN EN 12828, heating systems must be
equipped with safety devices to prevent the maximum operating
temperature from being exceeded. The safety heat exchanger serves
to protect the boiler against overheating and may not be used for
other purposes (i.e. as a regular heat exchanger). If the heat transfer
capacity is suddenly lost (for example, if the circulation pump for
raising the return temperature fails), heat production cannot be
stopped as quickly as with an oil- or gas-fired boiler. When the
maximum operating temperature is exceeded, the thermal safety
device (TAS) is triggered and cold water flows through the safety
heat exchanger. The resulting excess energy is thus dissipated by this
“emergency cooling”. (This is an alternative to fast regulation.)
However, the safety heat exchanger and thermal safety device can
only serve their purpose if the following requirements have been
met:
•A flow pressure of at least two bar must be available at the cold
water inlet of the safety heat exchanger.
Mains-dependent, stand-alone supply systems are not safe enough
due to dependence upon the power supply!
•The distance between the supply and return lines of the thermal
safety device and the safety heat exchanger should not be less
than their nominal width. The supply line may not be equipped
with a shut-off valve.
•Water must be able to flow freely through the system.
•The flow pressure at the flue pipe connection on the boiler may
not significantly exceed the prescribed value.
The TAS must be inspected annually by a qualified technician to test
that it is working properly.
The thermal safety device must be installed according to guidelines
from HDG Bavaria.
Important!
In order to prevent leaks, avoid turning the connections of the
safety heat exchanger anticlockwise when installing the thermal
safety device.

6.4 Performing a chimney sweep measurement
In Germany, there is a legal requirement that heating systems with
nominal thermal power in excess of 4 kW be inspected annually by a
qualified combustion engineer to see that federal emission limits for
small and medium-sized boiler systems are met (1st Federal Emission
Control Ordinance).
I
NITIALTESTThe operating company must notify the responsible combustion
engineer of the installation of the heating system before it is
commissioned, and must also arrange an appointment for the
chimney sweep test within four weeks of commissioning. To ensure
a stable operating ability, sufficient heat transfer must occur while
operating at full load.
T
ESTEVERYTWOYEARSIn Germany, regular inspections every two years must be carried out
in accordance with the requirements of the federal emission limits
(1.BImSchV).
