2.1.2 Boiler Fabrication and Testing
Your boiler was manufactured by HS Tarm , a world leader in hot water (hydronic) heating for over
80 years. The HS Tarm Solo Innova Series boiler conforms to traditional high standards for quality
and reliability. It offers modern wood gasification technology with operating efficiencies at over 80%
when run properly. If treated properly and operated according to the guidelines in this manual it will
provide years of safe, dependable, and economical heating.
Solo Innova boilers are designed and built in accordance with European Standard CEN 303-5. Safety
and performance testing and listing for U S markets have been performed by OMNI Test Laboratories,
Inc., Portland, Oregon. The boiler is tested and listed to applicable UL standards. The boiler is not
ASME stamped. The installer should follow local or state installation requirements.
The Solo Innova wood gasification boiler is a log wood fired boiler designed and constructed for
highly efficient combustion of log wood. Do not burn other fuels in the Solo Innova boiler. The Solo
Innova
is not
a self contained weather-tight boiler. It should be installed within the heated building.
Solo Innova log wood boilers must be installed with a thermal storage system capable of absorb-
ing the complete output of the boiler during periods when the building is not calling for heat.
2.1.3 Models and Applications
Two Solo Innova models are available (the model 30 and 50), covering an output range between
102,000Btu/hr (30 kW) and 170,000Btu/hr (50 kW). Specification data for each Solo Innova is pro-
vided in Section 6.3.
The boilers can be utilized as a single heat source, or in parallel with another boiler. Residential and
nonresidential applications are appropriate.
2.2 Boiler Function

Fuel is loaded through the
load door
(2) into the
loading chamber
(13) and the fire is kindled.
Air is controlled by the
primary air control
(3) and the
secondary air control
(4).
Secondary combustion takes place behind the
ash door
(5) and ashes are also removed through this
door.
Combustion can be monitored through the
sight glass
(6).
Chimney connector is attached to the
exhaust stack
(7).
The
