The Silo withstands UV rays but it should not be exposed directly to rain, and so it should not be

installed outdoors, unless it is in a sheltered place. Neither should it be placed in direct contact

withadampwall,particularlythecanvas.

Theapplicablefireprotectionregulationsmustbeobserved.

Ensure there are no sharp objects close to the Silo which could damage the Silo. Any damage

causedbyinsects,rodentsandsharpobjectsorsimilar is not covered by the guarantee.

To prevent electrostatic charge accumulating during the Silo filling process, the filling nozzle

must be earthed. The filling hose must be totally covered by the opening in the

Silo.Werecommendswitchingofftheboilerbefore filling the Silo.

Fix the vertical bar bases to the ground with metalboltsandfixing blocks. Do not forget to check

3INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

The DOMUSA TEKNIK Silo must be installed and assembled by sufficiently qualified personnel,

observing the relevant personal safety regulations andthewarningsgivenin the “Warnings and Safety

Instructions” section of this manual and complying with the applicable national, regional and local

regulations in force at the time and place of installation. In particular, the relevant building

construction and fire protection codes, standards and regulations must be observed.

3.1 Location and ventilation of the premises

For correct storage and durability, we recommend installing the Silo in covered premises expressly

provided for it, inside a building. If it is installed outdoors, it must be sheltered and protected from

theweather,particularlyfromrain,asifthepellets become wet they will be unusable.

Both the construction and the fire protection of the walls, roof and door of the premises used for

the Silo and the boiler room must comply with the applicable local building and fire protection

regulations. The base or floor the Silo stands on must be built to withstand at least 1600 kg at each

pointofsupport.

The premises in which the Silo is located must have sufficient ventilation, with at least one direct

ventilation outlet to the outside of the building with a minimum surface area of 170 cm2, preferably

at the highest part of the premises. If the canvas Silo is located inside a building, both the Silo filling

hose and the ventilation system of the premises must lead to the outside, complying with the

minimum dimensions throughout their entire run. Also, the room in which the pellet boiler is

located must have direct ventilation to the outside with a surface area of at least 200 cm2.

Therefore, if the Silo is installed in the same premises as the boiler, the minimum ventilation area

requiredwillbe200cm2.

Although a normal degree of damp on the walls of cellars, basements and the type of premises

habitually used for pellet Silos will pose no problems for optimum pellet storage, you should

prevent the canvas walls of the Silo from remaining in permanent contact with the walls of the

premises. Excessive damp or water dripping into the Silo will cause the pellets to swell and

decompose,makingthemunusableasBioclassboilerfuel.

The premises must be of a sufficient size to enable assembly, dismantling and maintenance of the

Silo. We recommend leaving a free space of at least 10 cm around the Silo for this purpose. A free

space of at least 30 cm should also be left on the filling nozzle side. The height of the premises

should beatleast 25 cm higherthan the minimum heightof the Silo.

3.2 Fuel quality

The Silo is exclusively designed and intended for storage of wood pellets with a diameter of 6 mm

andalengthofupto40mm.

The wood pellets used must comply with the EN 14961-2 standard, class A1, at least, and be

certified with one of the followingquality marks: ENplus-A1, DINplus, NF Bois or equivalent.

IMPORTANT: The pellets are highly hygroscopic. In case of contact with water or damp walls they

willswellandrotandwillbeunfit for use.

3.3 Installing the suction hose

The Silo is specially designed to function with the DOMUSA TEKNIK CVS suction system, installed

together with a plastic hose with an interior diameter of 50 mm. This hose must have a static

electricity discharge system, preferably a copper wire wound around its entire length. This copper

wiremustbeearthedatallthehosejoints and ends.

Whatever the type of hose used, it must be made of a suitable material for wood pellet transport

and it must always have an interior diameter of 50 mm. The following recommendations must also

becompliedwithforcorrectinstallation:

The maximum permitted hose length is 25 metres for conveyance from the main Silo to the

suctionunit(CVS suction system pot)and25metres for return.

Bend angles of over 45º must be avoided wherever possible. If these cannot be avoided, any

curveswithanglesofover45ºmusthavea radius of curvature greater than 125 mm.

If rigid plastic tubing is used, do not use standard 90º elbows. If elbows are necessary, the

curves constructed must have a minimum radius of 125 mm.

Themaximum height differencepermittedforthe installation is 6 metres.

Avoid any splicing or coupling in the hose installation wherever possible, as this may narrow

the circuit, which can cause clogging of the pellets conveyed and could block the system.

Most importantly, avoid any joints in the hose section leading from the main Silo to the boiler

reserve tank suctionunit (suction pot), as thepellets are conveyed through this section.

If there is no alternative to splicing and extending the installation, straight rigid tubing with

an interior diameter of 50 mm must be used. It is preferable for any splicing and joining of the

hose to be made in the pneumatic suction system return section, as only air is conveyed in

this section. All the hose sections must be earthed at all joints and at the ends of the hose.

The most vital factor for ensuring maximum suction power for the system is the airtightness

of the CVS suction system installation, and great care must therefore be taken on installing

the hoses. All joints in the installation must be secured with clamps, taking special care to

preventleakage.

We recommend avoiding hose crossover in the installation wherever possible. The flow and

returnhosesofthepneumaticinstallationshouldrunparallel to each other.

For correct assembly of the hoses, they should be fixed to the walls and/or floor using suitable

flanges throughout the entire installation, to ensure stability. The recommended maximum

distancebetweenthefixingpointsis80-110cm.

IMPORTANT: At each end of the pellet suction and air return hose, the copper cables must be

connected to the earthconnection terminals provided on the Siloforthis purpose.

IMPORTANT: DOMUSA TEKNIK will hold no liability for malfunctioning of the Silo in combination

with the CVS suction system if the installation does not comply with the above

recommendations.

3.4 Earth connection

For safety reasons, the suction pot, CVS suction system nozzle and metal structure of the Silo must

be earthed, to prevent danger of the pellets or Silo catching fire due to sparks generated by

electrostatic charge accumulation during functioning of the automatic loading CVS suction

system.

The Silo is specially designed to work as part of an installation with a plastic hose with an interior

diameter of 50 mm. This hose must have a static electricity discharge system, preferably a copper

wire wound around its entire length. This copper wire must be earthed at all the hose joints and

ends.

There is an earthing socket on the underside of the suction pot of the CVS suction system,towhich

the earth cables of the pneumatic installation tubes should be connected. These tubes are then

connected to the earth at the other end of the installation (see the section

"Assembling the suction

pot"

).

7SILOFILLINGINSTRUCTIONS

The DOMUSA TEKNIK Silo is designed to be filled by a tank truck, through a flexible hose that pumps

the pellets into the Silo. Tank trucks for pellet supply usually have a flexible hose of up to 30 metres,

and the Silo should therefore be installed at a maximum distance of 30 metres from the nearest truck

access point (if a longer distance is required, check with the pellet supplier whether longer hoses are

available). The truck access area must also have a minimum width of B = 3 m and a minimum

clearanceofH=4m.

Thefillingnozzlemustbeaccessiblefromoutsidethe building, and so the premises in which the Silois

installed must have at least one exterior wall. If this is not possible, the filling hose must be run to the

outside.
