3/ We will now clean the draughts of combustion products
If semiautomatic cleaning is installed, it is sufficient to move the manualling lever about twenty times without using any
special violence from one extreme position to the other one - i.e. about the same we performed at least once a week in
course of common operation of the boiler.
If semiautomatic cleaning is not installed, proceed as follows:
- close the burner door so that the boiler does not contaminate the boiler room too much when we will clean the
draughts
- remove the lid of the jacket
- dismantle the lid of the boiler body (4 screws) and place it on the floor. When you mount it back later,
remove slightly ash from it and be careful not to damage insulation during this operation.
- now release ash from turbulators. Grasp always the whole set (6 or 7 pieces)
suspended on one holder and shake it several times to release the sedimented ash, then pull out the whole set
and clean outside the boiler. Proceed in this way with all turbulators.
Another step is to clean the exchanger part of the boiler body. Clean individual draughts of combustion products with
cleaning instruments (brush) which is a part of serially supplied accessories. Clean as long as the corresponding space is
perfectly free from any ash. Proceed in the same way when you clean lateral surfaces of combustion chamber where you
can also use the wire brush successfully.
4/ Now dismantle the burner from the boiler
- remove the fan from the extension pipe on the flange of the burner
- dismantle the flanged joint (4 screws) from the drive of the spiral-chute feeder 2,
remove the complete feed screw and place aside. Check it for wear and tear at the same time.
- dismantle now the whole burner flange (4 screws) and remove the burner. Clean the whole inside surface of
the burner carefully with a wire brush, mainly in the place of the feeder's outlet and also in all places of round
and slotted nozzles. These places are most susceptible to sedimentation of solid products of burning.
- finally, remove all solid waste located inside the air box of the burner. Tilt the burner gradually in order to
pour out all impurities from the burner through the pipe of the fan. Work until the burner is completely cleaned.
- if automatic ignition is installed on the burner, dismantle both spirals and remove all impurities from the air box
of the burner through the installation apertures.
5/ Now sweep out all ash from the boiler thoroughly
In order to prevent from increased dustiness, we recommend to place the lid of the boiler body on the boiler for this time.
While cleaning, we may not forget about the placement bars of the extension grate which have to be perfectly cleaned so
that individual parts of the extension grate can be precisely placed on them back.
6/ Back installation of all parts should be done in reverse order. Ensure mainly the following in course of this activity:
- Electric resistance coils have to be placed in such a way so that their heating parts are
at least 5 mm from the wall of the burner. Maximum tightness has to be ensured
between the flange of spirals and the wall of the burner.
- The flange of the burner has to be put precisely so that the packing cord of the flange
fits tightly on the protruding ribs of the body all over the circumference.
- The spiral-chute feeder should be anchored precisely in the axis of the pipe and should not
thus drag against the wall of the pipe (which is one of reasons why smooth operation is blocked).
- The joint has to be treated with a sealing paste before the flange of the drive is installed, which
is an important measure against smoke penetration.
- Individual part of the extension grate have to be placed precisely in their correct order.
- The ceramic reflector has to be placed symmetrically in the corresponding bed of the burner and
plugged in the stop to the rear side. Individual bearing surfaces (of the burner and reflector)
have to be in mutual contact.
- Turbulators of the draughts of combustion products have to be safely fixed on their holders in
order not be jeopardized by their fall on the extension grate.
- Having the back installation been done completely, check via gradual visual check whether all
parts are installed correctly. Finally, try operation of the spiral-chute feeder. Its operation has
to be calm and without any disturbing noise.
