9.8 Safety equipment to protect against overfilling with fuel and burn-back
Automatic extinguishing device (SLE)
The purpose of the automatic extinguishing device on the feed is to
safely prevent burn-back in the event of a fault, e.g. a power failure.
The automatic extinguishing device is fitted with a 25 l extinguishing
water tank and a float switch. In the event of excessive temperature,
the feed screw conveyor is flooded just enough to ensure the system
is safe. The float switch monitors the fill level or level of the extin-
guishing water tank. If the level is not reached, the solid fuel boiler
shuts down and sets a fault message. For safety reasons and in
order to avoid damage caused by flooding, it is not advisable to con-
nect the extinguishing device directly to the water mains (cold water
supply).
