2 Power Connections
Up to 16 sets of Biofell BV [30] [50] thermal units (modules) may be installed.
If the heating circuit is old, or likely to contain or generate sludge or impurities that can clog the modules’ heating bodies, a plate heat exchanger must be
installed to separate the heating circuit from the modules.
In case of not using a plate heat exchanger, it is imperative to install a balanced needle, and a sludge filter and/or decanter, on return
modules. This obligation is doubly justified when the gage height at installation exceeds a 2-bar pressure.
Before hydraulically connecting the modules to the insta llation, a sweep of the entire hydraulic circuit should be performed.

2.2 Filling the System
2.2.1 General Notes
To prevent lime scale damage to the DHW exchanger, the feed water hardness should not exceed 15°fH. In any case it is advisable to
check the water used, and install the appropriate device for its treatment.
To fill up the system, clean tap water must be used only. If adding antifreeze chemicals, a hydraulic breaker must be installed in the filling
system, to allow separation between the heating circuit and the water circuit.
After making the hydraulic connections, complete the installation as follows:
Check that the pump is not blocked.
Check that the automatic air vent is loose to allow gas evacuation.
Open the DHW’s main circuit input.
Unscrew the pump cap to remove any air bubbles, and close it when water comes out of it.
Open the traps on any devices connected to the circuit, and control the process of removing any air. When water comes out, close radiator straps.
Check the gauge so that installation pressure reaches a value of about 1.5 bar.
If after performing the operations indicated, a decrease in pressure is detected, open the fill again until the gauge pressure reaches 1.5 bar.
Ensure that the fill is securely closed.
2.2.2 Water Features
To ensure that the device should work properly, take into account the following basic rules:
Make sure there are no leaks, and closing any large or evident ones.
If there is an automatic filling system, a counter should be available to determine the size of any leaks.
To fill the system soft water should be used to reduce the total hardness. Furthermore, water must be treated to keep the pH value within corrosion-
preventing limits.
For new installations or boiler replacements, installations must be effectively filtered or screened to protect the boiler from impurities and air.
Ensure that no water come out of the system during maintenance operations, even though the amount seem insignificant: for example, it is
recommended that the system incorporate cutting keys allowing filter cleaning.
Before connecting the boiler, the system’s water should always be tested to check if the values shown advice emptying the system, using existing
waters or performing a chemical cleaning (if the system is particularly dirty or clogged) before filling it with treated water.
Water treatment
Page 6 of 20 601130040 [Revision 1502.00] [subject to changes with no previous notice] Biofell Cascade
To preserve the primary circuit heat exchanger and ensure optimum heat transfer, the features of the water flowing through the boiler’s primary condensate
exchanger must remain constant over time. Preparatory work such as the system’s cleaning and maintenance, checking water features, and installing
filtration systems are essential to achieve this goal.
The choice of water treatment should be made according to the water features, the system type, and the limits of purity required.
Oxygen
Inevitably a certain amount of oxygen will infiltrate the system, both in the filling phase and during operation (system refills, or using materials without
oxygen barrier). Oxygen reacts with steel, causing corrosion and sludge formation. The heat exchanger is made of stainless steel to avoid corrosion, but
sludge may accumulate on hot parts, including the exchanger. As a consequence, the boiler’s power is reduced, and the primary exchanger’s active parts
may obstruct, which in turn may damage the boiler.
To limit this consequence one can resort to:
Mechanical systems: a suitable combination of traps and water softener reduces the amount of oxygen present in the system.
Chemical systems: additives that allow oxygen to remain dissolved in water.
Hardness
Depending on the mains water hardness, its calcium content varies. Calcium sticks to hot parts, including the primary heat exchanger. This may reduce the
boiler’s capacity, and obstruct the primary exchanger’s active parts, which can seriously damage the boiler.
If the mains water does not comply with the values shown in the following table, then it must be treated to soften it. Additives can be used to keep the lime
dissolved. Water hardness should be controlled regularly, and the following values recorded:
A
cidit
y
6,6 < pH < 8,5
Conductivity 400 ÷ 600 μS/cm (a 25°C)
Chlorides < 125 mg/l
Iron < 0,5 mg/l
Coppe
r
< 0,1 mg/l
When the above values are exceeded, applying a chemical treatment is necessary.
Remember that the choice of a water treatment should be made according to the water features, the system type, and the limits of purity
required.
3 Combustion Waste Disposal
3.1 Single Exhaust Pipes
The installation of exhaust ducts for combustion products must be performed by qualified personnel, and must comply with the requirements of the national
and local laws and regulations. The Biofell boilers are pressurized, so the evacuation of combustion products is via a sealed 80 mm-diameter outlet duct,
while the air is taken in from the room where the boiler is installed.
All accessories used in the evacuation of combustion products must be supplied by Tifell.
The maximum flue length (L) that can be installed is:
Flue’s maximal length D=80
Models Maximum length
Biofell 30
15.00 m
Biofell 50
7.00 m
When setting up the flue, one must consider the equivalent lengths of the fittings listed in the following table in any case maximum length be exceeded.

1,000 mm linear section 1.00 m 1.50 m
90º bend 1.50 m 2.50 m
45º bend 1.75 m 1.00 m
It is recommended to place the vent pipe slightly inclined (2 to 3 %) upwards, thus preventing its blowing out condensate produced in the duct. Do not turn
the flue more than four times in the whole length of the discharge.
If the flue is completely vertical, and its length grea ter than 3 m, a condensation-collecti ng siphon should be connec ted to a drain on the
duct’s base.

3.2 Evacuation Manifold
For cascade installations with a common exhaust manifold, it is necessary to install smoke check valves in each of the modules that make
up the whole.
All accessories used in the fume exhaust duct shall be suitable for condensing boilers, and resistant to the corrosive action of the acid condensation
generated by the combustion of liquid fuels.
In any case, flue condensate must be prevented from infiltrating the main exchanger.
Prevent the ducts that empty into the manifold from:
facing one another, to avoid smoke from one device revoking another.
Being connected to the manifold’s bottom, so that the flue condensate is collected in the main exchanger.

3.3 Drainage of Condensate
The condensation generated by the combustion of liquid fuels can have a pH below 5, so to neutralize the acidity neutralizationgranulate must be installed in
the drain (Figure 10).
The pH of condensate outlet to the drainage network must be controlled periodically so that its value does not drop below 7.

4 Fuel Installation
Biofell boilers incorporate a modulating oil burner. For proper fuel installation, proceed according to each boiler’s instructions. Fuel installation and burner
start-up must be carried out by qualified, authorised personnel.
In order to ensure a correct fuel supply, a deaerator filter should be installed in the burner’s fuel vacuum cleaner for each of the modules.
5 Temperature Control
The accumulate temperature is controlled through a DHW sensor connected to the M B3 input; and heating or primary temperature is controlled through a
probe placed in the balanced needle or exchanger plates primary connected to the input M BX1.
5.1 Heat Demand
5.1.1 Heating and DHW Controlled by Biofell’s Cascade System
Heating demand is managed via a voltage-free contact connected to M H3. The drive temperature can be adjusted manually at fixed temperature, or it can
be made to depend on the outside temperature by means of an external probe connected to M B9. To that effect the external probe mode must be enabled
on module 1 [parameter 1326], and the heating curve should be adjusted [parameter 1320].
The DHW storage tank temperature and the heat demand are managed through DHW probe connected between M B3. The DHW temperature is set with
parameter 1610.
5.1.2 Heating and DHW Controlled by an External Device (0-10 v)
The heat demand in the Biofell cascade system can be controlled and/or effected by a 0-10 VDC voltage obtained from an external upper control.
This properly polarized signal is connected to the module 1 through connection M H3, which must be configured as a "heat request" in the 5960 parameter.
The Biofell cascade system stops operation if the signal’s voltage falls below 1 V DC signal; or varies the setpoint temperature according to a curve
defined by the parameter 5964 (temperature set to 10 V).
5.2 Module Ignition Sequence
The ignition module will rotate depending on the number of operation hours set by the parameter 3540.
6 Electric Wiring
For communication, modules should be connected in parallel and comply with the polarity of the MD BD connection on all modules.
