2.4 Building Requirements
The boiler must be connected to a tile-lined masonry
chimney
or to a factory-built Type UL
103 HT approved chimney in good condition. See the details in Section 3.2
A dedicated supply of
fresh combustion
air provided near the boiler is recommended for effi-
cient, safe operation. This supply must not be directly connected to the boiler.
The boiler should be installed in it’s own boiler room because of the noise generated by the
fan motor and the combustion (it is about the same decibel level as in a modern oil-fired
boiler), installing the
Solo Innova
close to a room where noise may be a problem is not rec-
ommended.
A dedicated 240 VAC
power supply is required (See Section 3.4.9).
Revision of
existing heating system
piping may be appropriate to properly utilize the equip-
ment. Although Tarm Biomass can provide advice and design detail on the integration of this
boiler with the heating system of the building, the ultimate responsibility for the performance
of the system rests with the installer.
Please observe the guidelines and the various
national and local regulations.
Solo Innova
boilers are designed and approved as heaters for hot water systems with permis-
sible outflow temperatures of up to 203 ºF (95 ºC).
2.5 Owner Responsibilities
Successful operation of this boiler will require daily involvement by the owner/system operator.
Biomass boilers operate differently from fossil fuel boilers, requiring more oversight and a diligent
cleaning regimen.
The owner/system operator is responsible for correct operation of the boiler per guidelines in
Sections 4.0 and 5.0 of this manual.
Incorrect operation can reduce the boiler life.
