3.0 Boiler Installation & Start-up
This section is directed at the installer.
3.1 Planning
3.1.1 Sizing the Boiler
It is critical to size the boiler properly. A proper, up to date heat load calculation is advised. An accu-
rate history of building fuel usage over several years can help to calculate the proper size boiler.
Boiler sizing is the responsibility of the installer.
Tarm Biomass bears no responsibility for boiler
sizing, but can provide sizing input.
3.1.2 Choosing an Installer
Choosing a competent, licensed installer is critical to the successful installation of the boiler.
The
installer is responsible for all planning, installation, start-up, troubleshooting, owner training, and an-
nual maintenance for the boiler. Some aspects of the system piping, start-up, and operation may differ
from normal practice in fossil fuel boiler installation. To be successful, the installer must study this
manual, understand the installation tasks, and contact Tarm Biomass for help when necessary.
3.1.3 Locating the Boiler and Boiler Clearances
The boiler must be installed with the
minimum installation clearances
to combustible materials out-
lined on the next page. Clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authori-
ties.
The boiler is not suitable for outdoor installation. It must be located in a conditioned space.
The boiler must be placed on a level, non-combustible floor, such as a concrete slab on earth.
If you have the boiler 8” above the floor it makes it easier to load and clean the boiler.
If the boiler is placed near inhabited rooms, so that flue gas can easily penetrate into these
rooms, a carbon monoxide alarm must be installed that can give a warning regarding possible
escapes of carbon monoxide into the inhabited rooms.
