Start up
9.0. START UP OF THE BOILER
Additionaly following has to be checked:
- the boiler and the central heating system have to be filled with water and airvented.
- the security elements are functioning and if they are correctly connected.
- the flue connection tube is well connected, insulated, and sealed.
- flue gas lid is properly set according to the chimney underpressure.
- all objects, which eventually could have been left inside the boiler are removed
(from the combustion chamber, exhaust tubes, etc.). Some objects could have
been put inside during the assemblage for any reason and could negatively
influence the functioning.
- the upper and lower door of the boiler is well set (seal properly).
- the primary air/cleaning door properly fits.
- the draught regulator is put in the proper position and if it is properly connected
with the chain to the primary air/cleaning door (in case of cyclone - opening of
draught regulator must be watertight sealed).
- the secondary air regulator on the lower boiler door is closed.
- the side air opening can freely open/close, when the boiler does not work, side
air opening must be closed.
- the heating room has proper air circulation.
- the tube thermostate of the boiler's security pump is set to 65°C (the pump is
functioning from 0°C to 65°C).
- the tube thermostate of the heating circuit pump is set up to 75°C (the pump is
functioning above 75°C).

Firing the boiler, cleaning and maintaning
10.0. FIRING THE BOILER
The boiler is constructed to be manualy fired by means of solid fuel. Nominal
thermal output is obtained through solid fuel and its lower calorific value Hd>15000
kJ/kg.
After the initial firing the fuel has to be supplied in the way the boiler reaches the
temperature of 70°C as soon as possible in order to minimize the intensity of the
initial condensation.
The functioning of the draught regulator (in case of cyclone - uderpressure
regulator lid and fan regulation) has to be set in the way the temperature inside the
boiler during the normal combustion does not exceed 90°C and does not fall below
75°C.
It is also necessary to take care of the outlet water temperature during the
operation, because it should not fall under 60°C.
Additional regulation of the combustion quality can also be reached by setting the
secondary air opening.
Between two firing, it is recommended to pass over the glow with the poker in order
to obtain a balanced fresh air supply. It is also necessary to take care of all other
previously mentioned points of this technical manual.
The fuel has to be dry as usualy recommended for this kind of firing, for example,
two years long air dried wood, i.e. the wood has to contain less then 30% humidity.
The space under the grate and the combustion chamber has to be cleaned every
day. The space under the grate can be cleaned through the primary air/cleaning
door, which previously has to be removed without separating the chain of the
draught regulator. Clean of the flue exhaust tubes of the second and third passage
when necessary or once a week through the upper boiler door with the brush which
has to be pushed through the whole length of the tube. On the back side of the boiler
there is another opening for cleaning (see page 3.) through which is possible to
remove the material which has been collected during firing as well as during the
cleaning process. The hole can be approached by removing M8 screws and covers.
If there is a possibility of freezing, the boiler has to be fired constantly. Draining the
water out of the system is absolutely not the right solution, because this would
cause corrosion of the entire central heating system as well of the boiler' interior.
11.0. CLEANING AND MAINTAINING
Technical manual EKO-CKS Technical manual EKO-CKS
The start up procedure includes also:
- starting of at least one heating process during which the functioning of the draught
regulator (in case of cyclone - uderpressure regulator lid and fan
regulation) has to be set, so that the temperature inside the boiler during a normal
firing process does not exceed 90°C and does not decrease below 75°C.
- check the outlet water temperature during functioning, because this temperature
should not be under 60°C. If it happens the system should be accordingly set up.
- secondary air flow is set (can also be closed)
- training the person in charge of the boiler room, training protocol signed by the
trained person.
The start up has to be done by the person authorized on behalf of
Centrometal d.o.o.
It is necessary the check if previous assemblage has been performed exactly
according to the requirements and description of this manual.
