mounting plate to the boiler front that is provided by Pellergy. An initial
site survey of the intended host boiler or furnace and environment must
be performed. Pellergy must provide the Certified Installer with the
appropriate mounting plate for the application.
The PB-1525 must be installed to fire the boiler/furnace in the same
manner as the original fuel source when converting to wood pellets. In
order to accomplish this, the following guidelines must be followed:
1.
The system must only be used in oil and wood fired boilers and
furnaces.
a.
Not all boilers/furnaces are good candidates for use with a
Pellergy System. The boiler must be closely evaluated by a
Certified Installer for compatibility. In addition to meeting
local, state and regulatory codes, the boiler/furnace must
accommodate ash buildup between cleanings. This ash will
accumulate within the boiler/furnace. The host
boiler/furnace must be easily cleaned on a more regular
basis than when firing on oil. Additionally, the boiler/furnace
must allow for this buildup without compromise to the
combustion gas flow within the heat exchanger surfaces of
the boiler. Pellergy engineering must approve of all
candidate boilers/furnaces prior to conversion.
WARNING!
Failure to properly match a PB-1525 system with a host
boiler/furnace can result property damage, injury and even
death.
2.
The system requires a firebox with:
a.
Minimum volume of 1FT
3
.
b.
Minimum depth of 12 inches as measured from the burner
face to the back wall of the firebox.
c.
A minimum width that can easily accommodate the largest
outer diameter of the PB-1525, 6 inches.
3.
The burner must be installed into the firebox such that:
a.
A minimum of 2-inches of clearance from the opening of the
burner to the floor of the firebox is provided.
b.
The centerline of the burner shall be positioned at the same
centerline as the pre-existing oil burner to ensure proper firing
