ÜKYP/YP Automatic Fuel Loading, Central System Heating Boiler Usage and Maintenance Manual
SELECTION OF INSTALLATION SITE
The place where the boiler is installed must have sufficient free space for the installation, combustion
and maintenance of the boiler. For service needs, the gear unit and the group to which the shaft is
connected should be far enough from the wall that it can be easily removed. For this, the dimensions
in the paragraph titled “Assembly site dimensions” should be applied.
In addition, there must be sufficient fresh air circulation for efficient combustion, the chimney design
must meet the required draft values for the model used, and the construction criteria given in the
manual must comply with the relevant regulations. The boiler should never be installed in open spaces,
balconies, living areas (kitchen, living room, bathroom, bedroom), places where explosive and easily
flammable materials are present.
The boiler room door must not open directly to the escape staircase or general use stairs, and must be
opened to a security hall. Boiler rooms with a thermal capacity between 50 kW and 100 kW must have
at least one door, and boiler rooms with a floor area of over 100 m2 must have at least 2 exit doors.
Exit doors should be placed in opposite directions of each other as much as possible, they should be
fire resistant for at least 90 minutes, smoke-proof and self-closing.
At least one of the doors must open directly to the outside and outside of the building. If it is possible
to open a door directly to the outside of the building from the boiler room, this is the most suitable
solution. The boiler room door must not open directly to the escape staircase or general use stairs, and
must necessarily open to a common hall or corridor.
It is recommended to have a threshold of at least 10 cm high on the doors opening from the boiler
room into the building. If it is possible to illuminate the boiler room naturally, care should be taken
that the lighting openings do not coincide with the other windows of the building. If artificial lighting
is used, a system that does not dazzle but illuminates the flat should be installed. The main switch and
panels of the boiler room should be placed around the entrance door and should be of leakproof type.
Fire extinguishers should be available in boiler rooms.
One of the purposes of placing the boiler on a concrete base in the boiler room is to prevent the fan
from absorbing dust from the ground. Ventilation can be done naturally or by force. It should be
ensured that the mouth of the fresh air intake chimney is at ground level, and the mouth of the exhaust
air intake chimney is at ceiling level.
There should be at least 1 6 kg multi-purpose dry chemical powder fire extinguisher in the boiler room.
If natural gas or liquid fuel boilers are
also used in the same boiler room, a
tearing surface must be designed.
The established place must have vents
that are directly connected to the
outdoor environment and allow the
entry of fresh air. One of the vents
should be located at most 40 cm below
the ceiling of the boiler room, and the
other at the most 50 cm above the
floor. These vents must be kept open at
all times. The lower vent should be at
least 40 x 40 cm and the upper vent at least 30 x 30 cm. Pets should not be fed in the heating area
(boiler room), and food and beverage that may be affected by smoke and soot should not be stored.
