4.2 Filling up the boiler and installation with water
Filling is done using the drain tap valve (to be found on the return line close to boiler). The lling process
is done when no air is coming out. Working pressure depends on the overall height of the system and the
open expansion vessel (1 bar for each 10 m is an estimate).
After the lling process is done, it is obligatory to close the drain tap valve, close the water supply to
the water-lling pipe and detach the water-lling pipe.
Pay attention to quality of water which is used to ll the heating system.
A
n expert should be entrusted with the mounting of the heating and the initial operation. This must
be a person who will take over the responsibility and guarantee the correct operation of the boiler and
of the complete central heating system. In the case of an incorrectly planned system with manifesting
deciencies caused by the respective person's incorrect installation of the system, which can again lead
to an incorrect operation of the boiler, the complete liability for the material damage and potential new
costs arising in relation to it is borne exclusively by the person who was entrusted with the mounting of
the central heating system, and not by the boiler manufacturer, sales representative or seller.
5 Boiler operation
First putting into operation is performed exclusively by a skilled person. Before putting in operation
please make sure that:
•
boiler is connected on central heating installation properly
•
boiler is connected on electric installation properly (when using pellet or oil burner)
•
there is no air in the central heating installation and pressure is within range
•
proper working cycle for circulation pump is chosen.
Heating by solid fuel (manual operation) can be performed in two ways:
1. Heating from above put coal (or wood) over the replace pipes (grid) (no ash should be present).
The draught regulator is at the maximum position. Using a tiny piece of wood or coal, light a re on
the top. When the re begins to burn, draught regulator is set on desired temperature / position.
2. Heating from below put small amount of solid fuel over the replace pipes (grid) (no ash should
be present) and set up a re. The draught regulator is at the maximum position. When the
re begins to burn, add larger amount of fuel and set draught regulator on desired temperature /
position.
Make sure that lower boiler doors are closed during boiler use.
In case of an uncontrolled increase of pressure and temperature of the water in the boiler, due to
various reasons (such as power failure causing interruption of the circulation pump operation, circulation
pump defect, uncontrolled entry of air into system) close all air supply to the boiler or eventually take
the re out if the safety conditions allow that (there are no inammable materials in the area). In case of
power failure put the draught regulator in the zero position and the ap on the boiler chimney take-up
in the closed position.
It is obligatory to pay special attention that the pressure inside the installation is within range. If
the pressure is below the critical value, stop the boiler operation and rell the system when the boiler is
cold.
The water hardness may not exceed the recommended value. If you heat the boiler using coal, de-
pending on the kind of coal and quality of combustion, boiler is to be cleaned in detail at least every 30
days. Dirtier the boiler, the eciency of the system is smaller.
