The HERZ firematic boiler should be operated
with the fuels and their properties which are
described in this chapter.
3.1 Wood chips
Wood chips for non-industrial use with low fines
content according to EN 172254 with following
specification:-
◼
Property class A1, A2
◼
particle size P16S
◼
Water content min. 15 % up to max. 40 %
◼
Ash content in m-%: <1.0 (A1), <1.5 (A2),
<3.0 (B1)
◼
Calorific value at as-delivered condition >
3,1 kWh/kg
◼
Bulk density (BD) at as-delivered
condition > 150 kg/m³
The property classes A1 and A2 represent fresh
wood and chemically untreated wood residues. A1
contains fuels with low ash content, which
indicates little or no bark and fuels with lower
water content, while class A2 has a slightly higher
ash content and/or water content. B1 extends
origin and source of class A and includes
additional materials, such as short rotation
plantation wood, wood from gardens and
plantations etc., as well as chemically untreated
industrial wood waste. Class B2 also includes
chemically treated industrial wood waste and used
wood.
3.2 Wood pellets
Wood pellets for non-industrial use according to
ENplus,
Swisspellet, DINplus resp. pellets
according to EN 17225-2 with following
specifications:
◼
Property class A1, A2
4
◼
The maximum permissible fines content in
the fuel storage room must not exceed
8 % of the fuel volume (determined using
a perforated screen with holes 5 mm in
diameter)!
◼
Fines content at loading: < 1,0 m-%
◼
Calorific value at as-delivered condition
> 4,6 kWh/kg
◼
Bulk density (BD) at as-delivered
condition > 600 kg/m³
4
Property class A2 only at firematic 80
– 301
◼
Mechanical Strength (DU), EN 17831-1 at
as-delivered condition in m-
%: DU 97,5 ≥
97,5
◼
Diameter 6 mm
The nominal power and the emission values can
be guaranteed up to a maximum water content of
25% and a minimum calorific value of 3,5 kWh/kg
of the permissible fuel.
From a water content of about 25 % and a
calorific value < 3,5 kWh/kg a reduced output is
expected.
Prevent the entering of debris such as stones
or metal particles into the system! Sand and
soil lead to higher level of ash and slagging
precipitation.
There may be a formation of slag according to the
fuel quality, which has to be removed by hand.
In the case of non-compliance, any warranty
or guarantee will be rendered null and void.
The burning of unsuitable fuels could lead to
uncontrolled combustion. Operational faults
and consequential damage are likely to occur.
If a different fuel is named explicitly on the order
respectively the order confirmation, the system
can be operated with the mentioned fuel.
Note: The system is set to the agreed fuel at the
commissioning. This setting (ID-fan speed, fuel,
flow and backflow, cycle times, etc.) should not be
changed when using constant fuel quality.
