6 Boiler information
The Perge MC series boilers are a range of wood burning boilers with ceramic combustion chamber technology.
The uni ue design of the Perge MC series boilers are covered by a patent No 8 211 712
They can be used for :
- Domestic Hot Water Only (in summer)
- Central Heating and Domestic Hot Water (in winter)
- Heating Only
These boilers can be designed into existing system layouts and/or alongside an accumulator tank to provide
flexibility of heating requirements.
The PERGE MC series boilers are comprised of a two part heat exchanger combustion
chamber.
- B tt m Heat Exchanger (1) : consisting of a high temperature refractory ceramic com-
bustion chamber with parallel heat exchanger tubes embedded in it (2).
- Upper Chamber (3) designed to maximise efficiency by incorporating a series
of water filled tubes through which flue gases pass.
- Anti-B iling Quench C il (4) : to prevent overheating.
Fuelbed Grate / Cleaning Door(5) to allow access for
cleaning and ash removal. This also houses the
primary air entrainment control system (6). Access to
the main combustion chamber is made through the
loading door (7), in order to load the chamber/ fuel bed
with logs.
A therm stat (8) automatically maintains the boiler water
temperature by controlling the primary air entrainment to
the combustion chamber (6).
*f r perating details n the therm stat see p 11.
B iler descripti n
Safety features

Technical 11
Fitting and calibrati n f the therm stat (Cal rstat)
Operati n f the b iler
- It is imp rtant t ensure that all installati n requirements are met.
- Pri r t initial use f the b iler, it is IMPORTANT that the b iler is fired at a reduced perating temperature in r-
der t drive any m isture fr m the refract ry ceramic c mbusti n chamber. In rder t d this the b iler sh uld be
run f r the first 8 h urs, firing at a reduced fuel l ad (setting the cal rstat at 40°C/50°C). This can then be progres-
sively increased.
Cracking of the combustion chamber ceramic will occur; this is normal and will not affected the operation of the boiler.
Position the control lever so that the chain in line with the primary air
damper. The regulator is factory set for vertical operation.
For a horizontal setting place the regulator control to read 30°C, then re-
move and rotate clockwise half a turn before refitting.
To set the chain position, set the control knob to read 80 degrees centi-
grade. When the thermometer indicates 80°C. Connect the chain to the
damper to give an opening gap of 1mm - 2mm. This will ensure correct
operation of the primary air control.
