Mounting of the Ekoheat pellet boiler
Mounting of the Ekoheat pellet boiler must be done in accordance to firetechnical guidelines, and must be mounted
by an of Ekopower authorised technical assistant.
It is also recommended by Ekopower to contact the chimney sweeper before mounting is started, and that the pellet
boiler is carefully checked for damages occured during transportation.
Do only mount the Ekoheat pellet boiler in an appropriate dry and insulated room with good ventilation. Please
ensure that the boiler gets plenty of fresh air due to which it is demanded there is an opening in the boiler room to
the outside of at least 20 cm
2
.
The floor must not be of combustible material and must be plane, as it is required the boiler is levelled. (The legs must
not be adjusted, as these keep the casing)
When putting the boiler in place be careful as the covering of the boiler is ”loose” and is only resting on the bottom
plate. It is recommended to demount the burner and the ashpan to minimize the weight. Remember the front gate
must be mounted when pushing the boiler in space.
Once the boiler is levelled, connect it to the chimney with the flue gas pipe. Note that the flue gas outlet of the
boiler is universal and can be mounted directly on top of or on the back of the boiler. If you choose the back side fit
the prepared plate and move the cover plate on the back to the top of the boiler. You then do not have to fit the top
plate.
The flue pipe should not be more than 0,5 m long and must always be rising. If the flue pipe extend more than 0,5
meter, or if bendings are mounted, then it must
always be insulated.
The draught in the chimney must be stable and not below 0,15 mb (15 Pa). If the draught varies more than +/- 0,05
mBar, a draught stabilizer must be mounted. Mounting of a draught stabilizer in the chimney must minimum be 0,5
meter above the flue gas inlet of the boiler.
The enclosed retards must not be mounted at initial start-up. They can be mounted if the flue gas temperature
extend more than 150
o
constantly after 14 days. Please note that if retards are mounted all retards must be
mounted. Eventually contact Ekopower for more information.
The Ekoheat pellet boiler
must be mounted with shunt valve so that the return water is maximum 15
o
lower than the
flow temperature. The flow temperature must minimum be 60
o
C.
Please note that if the flue pipe and the shunt valve not are correctly mounted the warranty will be null and void.
Now place the hopper on the side of the boiler you prefer, and place the cover plate for the auger hole on the
opposite side. Do the same for as well the boiler as the hopper.
The whole control board must be demounted by 4 screws and place it carefully on the top of the boiler. Now the
auger is carefully “reversed” pushed through the hole from the boiler and into the hopper. The auger is in place when
the outlet is over the fall pipe of the boiler. Then mount the control board again and insert the plug from the auger in
the control board. Note that there are 2 similar plugs where it says “Ekocompress” on one and “External feeder” on
the other. The auger is mounted in “External feeder”.
