Installing a "TECNIKA" hot water boiler
CAUTION:
be careful not to damage or crack the ceramic element fitted inside the combustion chamber of
the boiler when transporting the boiler (secure the element appropriately or transport it separately from the
boiler):
installing the hot water boiler in rooms not fit for occupancy, including corridors, is not allowed
the "TECNIKA" wood gasification boiler may be connected to a heating system equipped with
open
or
closed
expansion vessel designed according to the water capacity of the entire heating system
both the heating system and the hot water boiler must be filled with circulating fluid (water) and air
must be bled from the system before starting up the boiler.
4.1.
Packaging
The boiler is delivered complete with assembled electrical and mechanical parts after having been tested at
the factory.
The boiler is delivered on one pallet. The boiler must always be handled vertically, using manual or
mechanical cranes, which can lift the pallet on which it is packaged or the boiler itself directly.
Take special care not to damage electrical or mechanical parts, with shocks or water sprays once the
protective packaging has been removed.
After removing the packaging, make sure the boiler is complete and undamaged
If in doubt, contact the retailer
The document envelope contains:
System manual
An instruction manual for installation, use and maintenance

4.2.
Boiler room
Make sure the room complies with the requirements and characteristics set out in the applicable regulations
in force. It is also necessary for the room to provide at least as much air as is required for regular
combustion. It is therefore necessary to make holes in the walls of the room, which comply with the
following requirements:
Have a free cross-section of at least 6 cm
2
for every 1 kW (859.64 kcal/h). Nevertheless, the
minimum cross-section of the opening must never be less than 100 cm
2.
The cross-section can also
be calculated using the following ratios:
S = K * Q
≥
100 cm
2
Where “S” is expressed in cm
2
, “Q” in kW, “K” = 6 cm
2
/kW
The opening must be situated at the bottom of an external wall, preferably opposite the one where
the combustion gases are vented.
