7. Pellets Fuzzy Logic Boiler location and installation
7.1 Regulations, standards
and recommendations
The boiler room should meet the conditions of the building law
in force at the site of the boiler installation. In Poland, these
provisions are treated by the standard PN-B-02411, and the
regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of 12 April 2002 on the
technical requirements to be met by buildings and their location.
(Journal of Laws No. 75, item. 690)”. The solid-fuel fired boilers
should be installed in separated plant rooms and the fuel storage
should be located in a separate plant room near the boiler or in the
room in which the boiler is installed, however not closer than 40 cm
from the boiler. The boiler room should meet the requirements of fire
protection and OH&S regulations.
7.2 Recommended boiler room
dimensions
The height of the room shall not be less than two heights
of the boiler, however, not less than 2,5 m;
The distance between the wall and the boiler unit min. 100 mm;
The distance between the tank and wall min. 600 mm;
The distance from the rear wall of the boiler to the wall should
be min. 300 mm;
The distance from the front wall should be min. 400 mm;
7.3 Positioning on a
non ammable oor
Boiler should be set on a non-flammable heat insulating pad,
which should be greater than the base of the boiler by 2 cm
from each side of the boiler;
If the boiler is located in the basement, we recommend to set
the boiler on the foundation of at least 5 cm in height. The boiler
must be positioned vertically.
7.4 Safe distance
from ammable materials
During installation and operation of the boiler keep
a safe distance of 20 cm from flammable materials;
In case of flammable materials of C3 flammability degree,
which are quick and easy to burn even after removal of ignition
sources (such as paper, paperboard, cardboard, wood,
plastics), the said distance is doubled, ie. to 40 cm;
If flammability is not known, the safe distance should
also be doubled.

7.5 Ventilation of the boiler room
Air delivery shall take place through the non-closed hole with the
minimal cross-section of 200 cm² and the exit to 100 cm above the
floor level.
7.6 Chimneys
Chimneys are designed to remove flue gas to the outside in a reliable
manner and draw the air for combustion. The chimney draft necessary
for this purpose is conditional on:
temperature difference between hot flue gas and cold air;
effective height of the chimney;
chimney cross-section (≥ 100 cm²);
chimney execution (possibly smooth internal surfaces)
and the tightness of joints;
The effective chimney height is the height difference between the
highest furnace and the chimney outlet. The effective height of
individual chimneys must be at least of 4 m, and in the case of the
common chimneys for solid and liquid fuels it must be at least of
5 m. The height difference between the two furnaces cannot be
greater than 6.5 m.
In the case of sloping roofs the chimneys should terminate within the
ridge (the highest edge of the roof), in the area of free movement of
wind, thereby avoiding draft interferences and disturbing effect on
and by the environment. You should always pay attention to the
location of the building in relation to other buildings.
