Important Information for System Operators
1.3.3 Entering the pellet storage room/storage container
All energy sources are subject to safety regulations, which must be observed when working with fuels, heating
systems, and storage rooms. This also applies to pellet storage.
After the storage room is filled, odourless carbon monoxide (CO) may be produced, and there may be insufficient
oxygen present. For this reason, do not enter the pellet storage room for 6 weeks after it has been filled. Only
persons trained for working in confined spaces may enter the storage room for the purpose of measuring gas
levels before any work is carried out.
Please also follow the instructions on the sticker:
– No access to unauthorised persons, keep children away from the pellet store!
– Ensure sufficient ventilation before entering. Keep the door open while inside.
– Only enter the storage room under the supervision of a second person standing outside.
– No smoking, flames, or other sources of ignition are permitted.
– Risk of injury from moving parts.
– Pellet boilers must be turned off at least 15 minutes before filling.
– Fill in accordance with the instructions of the boiler and pellet suppliers.
– Protect pellets from moisture.
If you feel unwell, leave the storage room immediately and seek medical advice.
Attention!
Do not attempt to enter an unventilated storage room (particularly buried tanks).
1.3.4 Combustion air
Never seal openings that have been provided for ventilation!
1.3.5 Wood gasification and pellet boiler connected to flue
If the wood gasification and pellet boiler is connected to a flue,
all cladding doors
, combustion chamber doors as
well as the filling, ignition and ash doors and cleaning openings must be closed when the boiler is in operation.
Otherwise flue gas discharge can exit via open doors or cleaning openings.
1.4 Fuel
1.4.1 Pellet boiler
To ensure that your new heating system provides long-term reliable service, the
following must be observed
:
Quality of pellets must be in accordance with EN ISO 17225-2 A1:
The quality of the pellets is an important factor in achieving optimum operation of the heating system. When
buying pellets, ensure that they meet the quality standards of EN ISO 17225-2 A1 (or ÖNORM M7135 / DINplus).
For maximum reliability, purchase pellets from manufacturers with EN-Plus certification (or DIN-Plus, ÖNORM
M7135 or UZ38), as they are required to perform ongoing internal quality controls.
Diameter: 6 mm; Length: 10 – 40 mm; max 1 up to 45 mm
Inform your pellet supplier of these quality requirements before ordering, and request confirmation upon deli-
very that the fuel meets this standard.
Consequences of quality fluctuations:
Pellets are 100% unprocessed wood, so minor fluctuations in fuel quality are expected and reflect the natural origins
of the material. These quality fluctuations affect the level of dirt and ash content. Therefore, the flue cleaning and ash
removal intervals may vary from one delivery to the next.
Any reduction in cleaning intervals as a result of fluctuations in pellet quality cannot be claimed as part of a repair
under warranty!
