…..Continuation: Precautions for exhausting
•
The lid of the silo bag is attached to the ceiling of the storeroom by means of all of the
loops sewn into the fabric (20 cm above the frame)
•
Fill the silo bag according to the needs of the installation situation (normally 0.3 bar)
•
Start exhausting the air with the return air blower only after a time delay has elapsed
following the start of the filling process
•
The fabric of the silo may not be sucked into the return air line.
•
Even during the exhaustion the lid of the silo has to be blown up completely
A house connection box with 230V and 16A protection must be accessible outside the
storage room. This power connection can be used for a possible suction blower.
Note before filling
Switch off the heating system prior to starting the filling process!
•
Check prior to filling that the filling line and items attached to it are assembled as shown
in the adjacent sketch and are not direct air upward towards the ceiling or downward into
the silo.
•
When filling the A.B.S. silo for wood pellets, it is not necessary to exhaust the air. The
conveying air escapes through the fabric cover on the top of the silo.
•
To allow the conveying air to escape, the room where the silo is set up must have a
window, door or other opening at least 200 cm² in size.
•
If the extraction system on the silo is equipped with an emergency slide gate, this gate
must be closed during the filling process.
•
By Silos with exhaustion points the suction hoses should be removed by reasons of
security
•
All openings on the silo which are not equipped with the filling line must necessarily be
closed.
