Hot Water Boiler with Steel Body, Automatic Fuel Feed Operation and Maintenance Manual
SELECTION OF INSTALLATION PLACE
The space where the boiler is installed must have sufficient free space for the installation,
combustion and maintenance of the boiler. For the need of service, the gear unit and the shaft to
which the shaft is connected should be easily spaced away from the wall. For this purpose, the
dimensions in the paragraph titled “Mounting Dimensions” must be applied.
There should also be sufficient air circulation for efficient combustion, the chimney design must meet
the required traction values for the model used and comply with the construction criteria given in
the manual. The boiler should never be installed in open spaces, balconies, living areas (kitchen,
living room, bathroom, and bedroom), explosive and flammable materials.
The door of the boiler room must not be opened directly to the escape ladder or general use ladder
and must be opened to a security hall. In boiler rooms with thermal capacities of 50 kW-350 kW,
there must be at least one door, a floor area of more than 100 m2 or at least 2 exit doors in boiler
rooms with a thermal capacity of more than 350 kW. The exit doors must be placed as far opposite as
possible, at least 90 minutes resistant to fire, smoke-proof and self-closing.
At least one of the doors must be opened directly outwards and outwards. If it is possible to open a
door directly from the boiler room, this creates the most appropriate solution. The door of the boiler
room must not be opened directly to the escape ladder or general use ladders and must be opened
to a common hall or corridor.
It is recommended to have a threshold of at least 10 cm in the doors opening into the building from
the boiler room. If it is possible to illuminate the boiler room naturally, it should be ensured that the
lighting openings do not come under the other windows of the building. If artificial lighting is done, a
system that does not dazzle but illuminates the apartment must be properly installed. The main
switchgear and panels for the boiler room should be placed around the entrance door and should be
of leak-proof type. There should be a fire tube in the boiler rooms.
One of the purposes of placing the boiler on the concrete base in the boiler room is to prevent the
fan from absorbing dust from the ground. Ventilation can be done either naturally or in a forced
manner. Ensure that the fresh air intake shaft is at the floor level and the air outlet nozzle mouth at
the ceiling level.
At least 1 6 kg dry chemical powder fire extinguishing device and at least 1 fire cabinet should be
provided in the boiler room.
If natural gas or liquid fuel boilers are also used in the same boiler room, a tear surface must be
designed.
The installed space must be directly connected to the external environment, allowing the access of
fresh air. One of the grilles should be at most 40 cm below the ceiling of the boiler room and the
other should be at least 50 cm above the floor. These grilles should be open continuously. The lower
vent should be at least 40 x 40 cm and the upper grille should be at least 30 x 30 cm. Pets should not
be fed, smoke and any food and beverages that may be affected should not be stored in the boiler
room (boiler room).
