Preface
Dear Customer,
we are delighted to count you among our customers.
In order to guarantee satisfactory functioning of your
new boiler, you should first of all know how it is
operated, cleaned and maintained. This manual will
provide information and advice that reach far beyond
the boiler itself. For example, why safety fittings are
necessary and how they work.
Guarantee
Read “Conditions for guarantees and liability” on
page 4 ff. As a rule, all these requirements will be
met by a competent plumber. Nevertheless, we
advise you to draw his attention to our guarantee conditions. All requirements we place on your
heating system are designed to avoid damage, an
undesirable occurrence for owner and manufacturer
alike. Details on this subject can be found on page 4
ff and 23 ff.
Optimal use of the controls on your boiler.
If the boiler has been put into operation by a specialist, use the controls only for information about your
heating.
Two setting levels of controls are accessible to you:
At CUSTOMER level you can set the controls according
to your wishes and needs, without the risk of altering
the configuration set up by the specialist. Help and
examples can be found in section “Control panel” on
page 34 ff.
At SERVICE level changes and adjustments should only
be made by a specialist, your plumber or customer
service. Before making any adjustments yourself, you
should always consult a specialist.

Conditions for guarantee and liability
We can only provide guarantee and accept liability for the proper functioning of your boiler if it is
correctly installed and operated.
The guarantee and liability conditions will only be
effective if the woodchip boiler in question is used
only for space and water heating with a maximum of 4,000 operating hours per year and in
particular if the following conditions are observed
for installation and operation:
The boiler must be installed in a dry space in compliance with local building and fire protection regulations in the respective country.
The boiler can be fuelled with woodchips G 20 to
G50 – maximum W 35 as per ÖNORM M 7133. With
an optional flue gas recirculation you can additionally use ÖNORM M 7135, DIN 51731 and DINplus compliant pellets, elephant grass, very dry carpentry
waste and chipboard (compliant with BImSchV
fuel class 7, free of halogen organic compounds and
wood preservatives) as fuel. The use of unsuitable
fuels, especially pellets with a high risk of cinder,
such as cereal waste pellets, or highly corrosive
fuels, such as miscanthus where potassium chloride
fertiliser has been applied, is not permitted.
Water is intended as a heat transfer medium. If
special frost protection is necessary, up to 30% glycol
may be added. Decalcified water must be used
when filling the heating system for the first time
and when refilling after repairs. For the initial filling
of the boiler up to 90 kW the value of 20,000
lt°dH for the system volume (in litres) multiplied by
the hardness (German degrees of hardness) may not
be exceeded. For larger boilers of 130 and 200 kW
the maximum hardness is 30.000 lt°dH. The pH
value should be set to between 8 and 9. Refilling
with calciferous fresh water should be kept to a minimum in order to limit the formation of boiler scale
(see page 23). Sufficient shut-off valves should be
installed in order to avoid draining large amounts
of water in the event of repairs. Leaks in the system
must be repaired immediately.
A safety valve (max. 3 bar) must be installed by a
qualified plumber or heating installer as protection
against excess pressure (see page 24).
An adequately dimensioned or pressure maintaining device (see page 25) is required as protection
against air suction when the system cools down.
Adequate ventilation must also be provided (see
page 25). Operating the boiler with an open expansion tank will cause above-average boiler corrosion
due to the high air intake. For this reason, if the
compensator is open we exclude corrosion dama-
4
ge on the boiler from guarantee and liability.
Operating with a smaller output than that stated
on the rating plate is not permissible. If heating
requirements are significantly below the nominal
output of the boiler, you will need to either define
heating time limits, or deploy an accumulator (see
page 26 ff).
Excepting standard devices such as thermostats,
only components supplied by us may be used for
extending the controls.
Cleaning and maintenance work must be carried
out as described in this manual (see page 18).
Repairs are only permissible using spare parts
supplied by us. Exceptions are standard parts such
as electric fuses or fastening material, provided they
have the required properties and do not impair the
safety of the system.
The specialist carrying out the work shall be
responsible for correct installation in accordance with
the instructions accompanying the boiler, relevant
rules and safety regulations. If you as a customer
have installed the heating system in whole or in part
without the necessary professional training and, in
particular, without the relevant practical experience,
and have not had your work inspected by a (responsible) professional, we must exclude defects in
the supplied equipment and consequential damage
resulting therefrom from our guarantee and liability.
We reserve the right to make technical changes
In order to pass on to you the benefits of our
ongoing developmental work, we reserve the right
to make technical changes without prior notice.
Printing and typing errors or modifications of any
kind do not entitle the customer to make a claim.
Individual fitting variations shown or described
here are only available on option. In the event of
discrepancies between documents with regard to
the scope of delivery, the particulars in our current
price list shall prevail.

Measuring emissions
Measuring emissions
Testing carbon monoxide (CO) emission regularly is
mandatory for all boilers. In Germany, dust measurements are mandatory in the scope of regular testing.
A number of errors may occur and render the measurements incorrect, although the system optimally
conforms to the standard values for long periods of
time in normal operation.
The chimney sweep will make an appointment with
the owner to carry out these measurements. The
customer may and should demand this.
The boiler including flue liner should be cleaned
a week, or at least three days prior to measurement.
Then operate the boiler normally. An interval of at
least three days must be allowed between cleaning
and measuring to allow the dust swirled up by
cleaning to settle. If the chimney sweep measures
the swirled up dust, his reading for the dust value
will be unduly high.
Avoid - under all circumstances - cleaning on
the day of measuring.
Ensure sufficient heat consumption
Open all radiator valves and set the radiator thermostats to maximum position.
Start of measurements a quarter of an hour
after firing up.
Keep the [ ] button pressed for 5 seconds until
“Emission measurement: duration 30 min.” appears
on the display and the LED in the [ ] button flashes. The boiler controls will ensure that the required
amount of heat flows into the heating circuits and
domestic water tank.
Measurement should be started 15 minutes after the
boiler has reached operating temperature.
The boiler will revert to normal operation if the
[ ] button is pressed again or automatically after
30 minutes.
Check if boiler has returned to automatic mode after
measurement. This is confirmed by the lit green LED
in the [ ] button.
Chimney
Chimney renovation before it is too late
With the regulated induced draught fan and adjustable minimum gas temperature, your new boiler
will for the most part fit existing flues without major
adaptation. However, it is advisable to have the
suitability of your flue verified by a chimney sweep
or constructor.
If your boiler has a flue gas recirculation and the
chimney draught is above 15 Pa due to a tall chimney (of over 12 m), a draught regulator is required.
Instead of a draught regulator flap, a nozzle in the
chimney top is an excellent solution, as this also
achieves higher exit speeds and thus improves
exhaust gas extraction.
Modern boilers have a higher level of efficiency
than older models, together with smaller amounts
of exhaust gas and significantly lower exhaust gas
temperatures.
Especially flues with “too large a cross-section”
(more than 20 cm) are no longer adequately heated.
The water contained in the exhaust gas condenses
in the chimney and slowly but surely destroys old
masonry chimneys.
If the chimney diameter is too large, the discharge
velocity and temperature are too low. The exhaust
gas lacks the required energy to rise.
If your chimney is not lined with water resistant
material or its diameter is too large, the usual
solution is to fit a moisture-resistant flue liner. If the
chimney diameter is not large enough, a stainless
steel pipe can be fitted.
Please bear in mind that the lifespan of chimneys
is limited. If undertaken in good time and the
chimney wall is still in good condition, it can be
quickly and easily renovated by inserting a new flue
liner. However, if the exhaust gas condensate has
penetrated the mortar joints, the chimney must be
completely dismantled and reconstructed.
Air-tight and insulated connecting pipe to the
chimney
The flue gas pipe must be air-tight. Insertion type
and round joints can be sealed with heat-resistant
silicon 300°C and/or pure aluminium adhesive tape
to prevent dust and exhaust gas escaping.
Insulating the pipe improves the chimney draught,
provides protection against burns in case of accidental touching, and reduces the danger of fire.

How does your new woodchip boiler works?
Spring arms adjust to load
The floor agitator feeds the woodchips to the conveyor screw (4). The spring arms (1) adjust to handle
the material covering them. If the bunker is full and
the load above the agitator high, the spring arms
move to touch the agitator plate (2). This reduces the
force required to drive the agitator and also power
consumption. If the bunker is emptying, the spring
arms move out towards the side walls to empty the
bunker.
The floor agitator must rotate during filling
To avoid the spring arms jamming underneath a pile
of woodchips, the floor agitator must rotate during
filling (press the [ ] button for 5 seconds to switch
to emission measurement mode).
Conveyor screw torque monitoring
Drive power monitoring immediately detects
resistance built up in the screws. A backwards
movement of the screws is automatically triggered
and repeated up three times if needed. Because the
floor agitator is uncoupled thanks to the freewheel
assembly (3), the full drive power is available for
freeing the screw. This means that any wood or even
stones that are jammed are easily freed, and fuel
transport can continue without any obstructions.
in storage rooms (barns), in case of boiler output of
more than 150 kW, in case of a fuel storage volume
above 200 m³, and for carpentry waste.
Excessively long pieces of wood cannot bring the
fuel feeder to a standstill. They are cut off at the
edge of the rotary valve chamber by a hardened and
replaceable cutter.
Hot combustion chamber with tilting grate
The woodchips are pushed laterally onto the grate
by the stoker screw (6). A refractory-lined combustion chamber (7) guarantees a clean fire with a high
combustion temperature.
Periodically, depending on the heating output, the
grate is rotated through 90° after a controlled burnout phase to automatically remove ash and foreign
bodies from the combustion chamber. The ash
remains in the ash chamber below the grate until
the grate is tilted again and can burn out before it
is discharged by a screw (8) into the removable ash
bin (9).

Maximum burn-back protection
The air-tight one-chamber rotary valve (5) reliably
isolates the combustion chamber from the fuel
store in all operating modes. This prevents hot gas
entering the fuel feeder and igniting the woodchips.
This is the most reliable form of protection against
burn-back. The Austrian fire protection authority‘s
TRVB H118 regulations (which are often applied in
Germany, too, due to the lack of a national standard) additionally requires a water sprinkler (which
is available as an optional accessory) for fuel stores
6
Optimised ignition
After short interruptions to the burning process, the
refractory-lined chamber will remain hot enough
for the remaining embers to ignite any fresh fuel fed
into it. The ignition fan is only required after longer
interruptions. After successful ignition, as detected
by a Lambda probe and the exhaust gas temperature, the ignition fan is immediately switched off to
save power.
subject to change without prior notice
Lambda probe and turbulent heat exchanger
causes incomplete combustion. Too much air cools
the fire. At below 700°C not all parts of the wood
gas are burnt. Furthermore, too much air transports
too much heat out of the boiler.
The lambda probe also guarantees optimum combustion and best fuel utilisation in daily use, not
only with selected wood on the test stand.
15
Turbulent heat exchanger with simple cleaning
Only after complete combustion does the hot gas
flow into the cold section of the boiler, where it
passes its heat onto the boiler water. At first this
takes place through a smooth down-swept flue (12)
to remove the ash and then turbulently through the
heat exchanger tubes fitted with turbulators.

The more turbulent, the better the gas particles
come into contact with the tube wall, enabling
maximum heat to be delivered to the heating water.
Low exhaust gas temperatures and high levels of
efficiency are thus achieved.
During cleaning (grate rotation) the turbulators
(13) are moved to remove fly ash from the heatexchanger tubes. A screw (14) discharges the ash into
the ash bin (9).
Maximum safety thanks to low pressure
The fire is controlled between minimum and
maximum output. In case of moderate heating in
autumn or spring, the output is adjusted by means
of burning process interruptions. To avoid smouldering with tar build up during the interruptions,
the fire is allowed to burn down in a controlled
way. Closing the primary (10) and secondary (11) air
flaps avoids air flowing through the boiler when
idle, thus avoiding heat escaping into the chimney
without being used.
Best fuel utilisation with lambda control
draught fan
Burning process interruptions with minimal heat
loss
A draught fan (15) at the exit point of the boiler causes low pressure in the whole boiler, thus
ensuring a high level of operating safety without
the danger of detonation or burn-back. The airtight one-chamber rotary valve (5) makes a typical
combustion air fan unnecessary. The required air is
taken in via the controlled primary (10) and secondary air flaps thanks to the low pressure in the combustion chamber.
Secondary
air
The wood gasification rate can be regulated via the
primary air intake (10). With the lambda controlled
secondary air (11) the combustion is kept in the clean
range with a high rate of efficiency.
If too little air is taken in, there is not enough oxygen for complete combustion. But too much air also

Suitable Fuels
Use rough woodchips G30 - G50 with low fines
fraction content
The length of the individual woodchips should be
between 30 and 50 mm. This keeps stored woodchips well aired. Water may escape from the pile. The
probability of rotting and mould is low.
rough + dry = good performance
A higher percentage of fines (sawdust, bark, needles,
soil, sand) blocks the airflow. Water vaporising at the
hot interior of the pile condenses at the top of the
pile. This causes some woodchips to dry-rot rendering them useless as heating fuel (see page 26).
Avoid green, moist woodchips
fine + dry = poor performance
Woodchips need to be dry to the touch (water content
below 25%) for trouble-free storage in a concrete
bunker. Green, roughly cut woodchips stored in an
open shed and exposed to wind will quickly achieve
water content of below 35% and thus be usable as
boiler fuel.
rough + moist = poor performance
storage well ventilated only
Finely chopped woodchips, or woodchips from green
branches with a high percentage of bark and needles are impermeable to air and will not dry to any
appreciable extent, but quickly rot, thus losing much
of their value as fuel (see page 28).
Special precautions with scrap wood
fine + moist = no
performance
When scrap wood is sold, it may be wood with dry rot
that has no fuel value: for this reason you should buy
scrap wood by weight only and with a limited water
content of max. 25%. Also make sure that the wood
is free of pollutants. Current legislation only allows
the use of untreated wood without foreign bodies for
heating purposes (see also page 32 for Germany).
A flue gas recirculation is available as an
option. It is required for pellets, elephant grass
and very dry carpentry waste (see page 27).
Wood working enterprises are allowed to use
chipboard for heating, if it is free of halogens and
preservatives
Nails and stones
will not stop the boiler running, but they will increase wear and tear on the screws and rotary valve
blades.
Sand and soil, more ash and cinder
flue gas recirculation
Although this is not allowed by law, chipboards can
contain high levels of chemicals (including „illegal“
chlorines and fluorines) which cause corrosion and
above average wear and tear on the boiler.
Above a certain threshold, which differs greatly
depending on the woodchips, cinder deposits will
build up on the grate, and need to be removed
manually. Avoid excessive sand and soil content.

Filling the Bunker
Do not drive over the floor agitator during filling
Before filling a bunker equipped with a floor
agitator the boiler must be fully connected
The floor agitator must rotate during filling
When the bunker is empty, the floor agitator arms
stretch out to the sides. Covering the arms with fuel
in this position will cause them to jam and make it
impossible to start the agitator.

Emission measurement

Start your fuel pile in the middle
If agitators are loaded from the side, the rotating
arms move through the woodchips, which deflects
them towards the middle disc. When the rotating
arms reach empty space, they lash back into original
position. To avoid this effect, start your pile in the
middle of the agitator using a front-end loader to
deposit the woodchips while the agitator is moving.
Never drive over the agitator surface!
Bunkers with a filling screw
If the bunker is almost empty, pour in 2 to 3 m³
of woodchips or pellets before starting the floor
agitator.
Tip slowly into the bunker!!!
When tipping fuel into the bunker make sure that
you dump slowly onto the stirring unit of the
agitator. Dumping a full load into the bunker from
a height of 3 m or more meters can damage the
stirring unit.

Everything closed and air-tight?
Before the Start
Make sure there is no leak air
To make sure there is no leak air check that all doors and
service covers are closed and air-tight, before commissioning,
but also after servicing.
Leak air, firstly, offsets the lambda measurement: Less air
intake implies that the combustion chamber will become hotter. That way leak air causes cinder and precipitates refractory
wear in the combustion chamber. The lack of air also leads
to incomplete combustion, and this may cause tarring of the
heat-exchanger.
Secondly leak air may reduce your boiler‘s performance.
Inside cover on the heat-exchanger outlet
Reach from the front through the combustion chamber door to
check if the interior cover is seated in its frame and air-tight.
Combustion chamber door
The handle of the combustion chamber door must close
solidly (with some force) (see page 19).
Is the heat-exchanger cover closed?
Firstly rotate the ball knob half a turn clockwise to engage and
pull the ball knob to check if the catch holds.
Secondly, alternately tighten the two knurled nuts. You will
not be able to seal one side air-tightly if the other side is
closed too tightly, already. Therefore, please, turn the knurled
nuts alternately.
altermately
Is the ash bin closed, coupled and air-tight?
The seals on both the coupling and the cover must be clean
and undamaged. All four clamps must be closed.
Are the drop shaft and the rotary valve closed?
An open drop shaft cover (two safety switches), or an open
revision opening at the bottom of the rotary valve (one safety
switch) will stop boiler operations.
Check the Lambda probe (for commissioning only)
The clamping pipe must be screwed tightly - 20 kg with a
20cm lever - (use a pipe wrench).

The quantity of ash depends on the fuel and the
season
Ash is the non-combustible fuel residue. It includes
minerals such as calcium or potassium, without
which no life forms can exist. But it also include
soil, sand and stones, which are contaminants in
the fuel.
in summer
As a rule of thumb: the darker the fuel, the more
bark, soiling, or rotten material - and thus the more
ash - it contains.
woodchips
without bark
Theoretically, both, woodchips made of pure wood
and woodchips with bark, should have the same
ash content of 0.5%. In practical terms, soil and
sand always sticks to the bark.
woodchips
with bark
miscanthus
Stalks and leaves need potassium for rigidity. Their
soiled surface is even larger. The ash content is thus
between 3 and 6 %.
bush cuttings
thin branches
high leaf content
Dark material comprising thin branches typically also
contains a high percentage of rotten material, which
means less combustible material and more ash.

boiler operation! (Identifiable by the fact that
the induced draught fan is running.)
Due to the significant flow of leak air caused by the

Wait until the embers have burnt down.
Depending on material, the embers can take between
10 and 30 minutes to burn down. During that time,
please, perform the following checks:
Water pressure in the heating system
In houses with up to three storeys, the pressure should
be between 1 and 2 bar when the system is cold, and
between 1.5 and 3 bar when warm. Use only decalcified water in case of a large accumulator volume. If the
water pressure is regularly too low, check the cause of
the leakage.

Do not remove the ash bin until the embers have burnt
down completely. 10 to 30 minutes after pressing the
[ ] button, the boiler is in „Switched off“ mode, and
the draught fan is idle (green LED bottom left on the control panel unlit). Failure to observe these precautions will
mean that leakage air transports fly ash via the ash path
into the chimney and thus into the atmosphere.
Removing and emptying the ash bin
The clamps open easily and without applying force by
pressing the latch in the direction of the arrow.
No large cinder pieces in the ash?
If the ash contains many and large cinder pieces, check
the grate (see page 26) and shorten the de-ashing times
(see page 17).
Do not fill embers into the dustbin
If embers are still present in the ash, fill the ash into a
fireproof container and leave it to stand for at least 2
days. Do not place it into the dustbin until you are sure
there are absolutely no embers left in the ash.
A second ash bin is available as an accessory, or alternatively garbage truck compatible 110 lt garbage containers
which can be docked onto the boiler directly. Ask your
heating specialist for details.
Check the seals
in the ash bin lid and the connecting channels on the
boiler. The seals must not be damaged.
If the ash deposit in the combustion chamber is steeper than 45 degrees,
press the yellow [ ] button to start de-ashing and use
the rake immediately to eject the ash into the combustion chamber. If de-ashing does not achieve the desired

Fuel Causing Cinder
What if you find „suspicious“ cinder in the ash
Check and clean the grate
If you find „suspiciously“ large and very hard, glassy
cinder pieces in the ash, and only then, you will
need to check the combustion chamber and grate.
Small, isolated pieces of cinder are nothing to worry
about. The threshold for permissible cinder size is
when it clogs the air vents of the grate.
Often a fuel change is the cause; please check the
fuel-related settings (page 17).
For fuels that do not clog the air vents on the grate,
you only need to perform this check once a year.
Press [ ] button to switch off, wait until embers
have burnt down, and then start de-ashing
Please wait until the green LED on the draught fan
is unlit and the display reads „Switched off“ before
you start de-ashing. Then press the yellow [ ]
button for de-ashing. This tilts the grate, cleans the
heat exchanger and ash screws transport ash from
the boiler into the ash bin.
Raise the combustion chamber lid while the grate
tilts
First, use the rake to scrape the ash from the combustion chamber lid into the combustion chamber.
Then use the rake to raise the (hot) lid at the back of
the combustion chamber so you can see the grate.
Use the rake to clean the standing grate
This is easier when the grate is lowered.
The ash and cinder is transported by the rotating ash
screw while the grate tilts.
Check the lever on the fire-bed level sensor
Check that the level sensor lever can move freely by
pulling it several times with the rake
When the grate is horizontal, check and clean the
air vents
As the combustion chamber is still hot, a mirror and
a torch are very useful. Use the poker for cleaning.
Repeat de-ashing by pressing the yellow [ ]
button, reinsert the combustion chamber lid, close
the combustion chamber door.

Is the flue gas recirculation set correctly?
Either „YES“ and the intermediate cover is removed (flue gas recirculation at rear of boiler
below the junction box, see also page 12), or
„NO“ and intermediate cover fitted.
If reducing the de-ashing times does not achieve
the desired result, please call our customer services.
Increasing the residual oxygen set value (by 1 to 2%),
or limiting the boiler output by reducing the maximum
exhaust gas temperature may help.
Are the set de-ashing idle periods longer than the
maximum permitted intervals (page 45)?
As a rule: as long as the cinder does not clog the air
vents on the grate, there is no need to worry. If you
need to clean the grate more or less every week, or
even more frequently, you should definitely choose a
different fuel that causes less cinder: with less bark,
less soiling and less rotten material.
Are the boiler door, heat-exchanger cover and ash
bin (screw connection heat-exchanger side)
closed and air-tight (leakage air falsifies the
Lambda value)?
If the fuel, flue gas recirculation and idle periods
are set correctly, you must reduce the deashing intervals. You must reduce both values
„earliest at [kg]“ and „latest at [kg]“. Never
reduce by more than one quarter; this will
allow you to approximate the optimum value.
A draught regulator may be required for the flue gas
recirculation to work
Too high a chimney draught can also cause cinder, as
it impacts the efficiency of the flue gas recirculation.
For the flue gas recirculation to work satisfactorily, a
draught regulator is imperative for a chimney draught of more than 15 Pa (as of approx. 12 m chimney
height). Instead of a draught regulator flap, a nozzle
in the chimney top is an excellent solution, as this also
achieves higher exit speeds and thus improves exhaust
gas extraction.

Cleaning and maintenance
Each time you empty the ash bin
check the following points and remedy any defects
(for more details, see page 13):
• Check (from the combustion chamber side) that
the interior cover above the heat-exchanger
outlet is air-tight.
• No large, hard pieces of cinder in the ash? If
the ash contains many large pieces of cinder, see
„Fuel causing cinder“ on pages 16 ff.
• Check the turbulators for tarring
• Sweep the flue gas recirculation (if installed)
• Safety valve on boiler, and also on solar-heated
accumulator if fitted
• Check extinguishers (if installed)
• Check error display/warning devices (if installed)
• Check test heating and residual oxygen value
• Check the seals on the ash bin.
• The ash deposit in the combustion chamber
must not be steeper than 45 degrees.
• Water pressure: Only use decalcified water in
case of a large accumulator volume. If the water
pressure is regularly too low, check the cause of
the leakage.
• The safety valve and thermal emergency valve
must not leak (see page 26).
• No combustible material in the boiler room.
• Do you have a fire extinguisher at hand? You
should always have a fire extinguisher available
en route to the boiler room (but not in the boiler
room itself).
• The fireproof door in the boiler room must
close automatically.
Perform professional maintenance when prompted to do so by the control unit, or at least every
3 years
The minimum scope of this work is described on
page 22. Maintenance should be performed by an
authorised heating contractor, or by our customer
service department, both of whom have full access
to information detailing the components that
require special testing.
Service contract
The best service for your heating system is to be
obtained by concluding a service contract with a
heating specialist certified by us or our customer
service.
When prompted to do so by the control unit, or at
least once a year,

(see pages 19 ff. for more details):
• Air-tightness of combustion chamber doors
• Seals on ash bin lid and ash couplings on
boiler
• Check and clean the grate
• Fire-bed level sensor
• Secondary air vents in the combustion chamber
• Fireproof refractory lining in combustion

If prompted by the controls or at least once a year:
for woodchips and wooden pellets after 3,000 working hours, for miscanthus after 1,500 working hours
Check that the combustion chamber doors are
air-tight. The boiler handle must engage tightly
(apply some pressure), the sealing edges of
the doors must close evenly and leave a visible
impression on the sealing cord. Leaky sections
can be identified by variations in the colouring
on the sealing cord or with a cigarette lighter
while the induced draught is running. The flame
will be drawn through the leak.
If leaks are found, it usually suffices to adjust the
hinges and the closing roller mount (see picture).
It is not always necessary to replace the sealing
cords.
Check and clean grate as described on page 17.
Check the fire-bed level sensor (overfill safeguard)
in the combustion chamber for ease of movement, and also make sure the limit switch below

Extinguishing devices must be ready for operations,
including the water supply (only if installed).
Check error display/warning devices,
if messages from the boiler room are displayed
elsewhere, or if a temperature monitoring device is
fitted in the fuel storage room/storage bin (in line

Heating test
Start the boiler and press the [ ] button for 5
seconds to switch to emissions measuring mode; this
transfers the heat to the hot water tank and heating
circuits for safe consumption. A residual oxygen
value of 7 to 10% should be achieved within 10
minutes. Irregularities in the fuel may cause this to
take longer than 10 minutes. If the residual oxygen
value does not drop below 12%, your boiler is drawing leakage air. Troubleshoot the cause (boiler door
or heat exchanger lid not air-tight, Lambda sensor
probe seating ...) and repair.
Cleaning of cover panels and operating panel
The boiler cover panels and the operating panel
should be wiped off with a moist cloth and (if
necessary) a standard household cleaning agent (no

circuits for safe consumption.
Check the Lambda probe by performing an emission
measurement.If this is impossible, check the
Lambda signal while the heat-exchanger lid is
open (fresh air).
A residual oxygen value of 7 to 10% should be
achieved within 10 minutes of heating. Irregularities in the fuel may cause this to take longer
than 10 minutes. If the residual oxygen value
does not drop below 12%, your boiler is drawing
leakage air. Troubleshoot the cause (boiler door
or heat exchanger lid not air-tight , Lambda
probe seating ...) and repair.
Check the function of the boiler and heating control systems.
Check the safety thermostat (ST) for functionality.
Reset the „Maintenance“ counter in the „COUNTERS“ menu by pressing the [ ] button twice.

Approval
Every heating system must be approved!
In Austria the mayor’s or municipal office must be

In Germany the district chimney sweep or the building authority must be notified.
Operation only by trained people
The system may only be operated by people who
have been properly trained The training may be
performed by the plumber, heating engineer or
our customer service. Please read the User Manual
carefully in order to avoid errors in the operation
and maintenance of the boiler.
Keep children out of the boiler room and fuel
store!
Children must be kept out of the boiler room or
the fuel store! It is especially dangerous in the fuel
store because of the hollow heap forming above the

For heating systems with an accumulator
First-time: Fill with decalcified water and supply
sufficient stopcocks
ÖNORM H 5195-1 “Prevention of damage by corrosion
and scale formation in closed warm-water-heating
systems at operating temperatures of up to 100°C”
and VDI 2035 “Guidelines for the prevention of
damage by corrosion and scale formation in warm
water heating systems” require decalcified water for
heating systems with larger water volumes.
For woodchip boilers 20 to 90 kW at least the value
of 20,000 lt °dH for system volumes (in litres), multiplied by the hardness (in German degrees of hardness ) should not be exceeded. For larger boilers 130
to 200 kW the threshold is 30,000 lt °dH.
For a system volume of 500 litres (boiler and heating
elements) with very hard water of 30°dH results in
a value of 15,000 lt°dH. In this case you can fill the
system with unsoftened water.
A heating system with, for example, a 2,000 lt accumulator results in a system volume of 2,500 litres.
Even if the filling water is not too hard, 15°dH for
example, a value of 37,500 lt°dH is reached – this is
too much. The filling water must be decalcified to
User Manual 20 to 200 kW
8°dH for a volume of 2,500 litres (20,000 divided by
2,500).
One cubic metre of water at 15°dH contains approx.
0.25 kg of boiler scale. On half a square metre of
boiler heat exchanger wall (scaling concentrates on
this small surface area) it would form a 0.2mm thick
boiler scale crust. This does not sound very serious,
but with 2 m³ accumulator and 1 m³ system volume
this would mean a thickness of 0.6 mm. With
thicker layers, the flow of heat through the boiler
wall is already so restricted that the boiler wall is no
longer adequately cooled and cracks may occur due
to thermal stress.
In practical terms this means that the boiler will
survive one filling t with water that has not been
decalcified, assuming there is no need to repair the
heating system and that there are no leaks during
its service lifetime (defective bleeders or safety valve
failing to close) forcing you to top the system up
with water.
To make sure you have a sufficient safety margin for
topping up, you must fill up the new system with
decalcified water. Make sure you fill the system
entirely with decalcified water before first boiler
commissioning. It is too late to change this after you
have used the boiler as the scales from the nondecalcified filling will already have spread through
the boiler.
To reduce the need to change the water in case
of repairs to the system at a later time, your ETA
heating system has the ability to shut off all large
volume components, such as accumulator, the
boiler and the heating circuits to avoid introducing
lime on topping up.
To keep corrosion to a minimum the pH value must
be set to between 8 and 9 using suitable inhibitors
(trisodium phosphate or caustic soda).
Frost protection
If a house with average insulation is left unheated
at low winter temperatures for longer than five
days, you will need some kind of active frost protection – at least a heating element in the accumulator
or check at least once a week for troublefree boiler
operation.
If the building is unoccupied for longer periods of
time in winter, you can add up to 30% anti-freeze
to the water. To compensate for the disadvantage of
lower heating capacity and greater flow resistance,
2008-01
23
Thermostat, Boiler Return , Temperature, ST, Safety Valve
you will typically need slightly higher flow temperatures.
Insulating the strap-on thermostat
If a pipe is not insulated in the vicinity of a temperature measuring point, the measured temperature
will be lower than the actual temperature. For this
reason it is important not to do without or skimp
the pipe insulation for boiler return line temperature
sensors or heating circuit flow sensors. In case of
uninsulated pipes, you need at least 20 mm of rock
wool as insulating material for 20 cm of the pipe
length to insulate the measuring point.
Return temperature rise control
Wood contains water. If the temperature in the
boiler is too low, water vapour from the smoke gas
will condensate on heat-exchanger surfaces. This
can lead to corrosion and a leaky heat-exchanger.
To prevent this, the water temperature at the boiler
inlet must be at least 60°C. At the return line temperatures are typically lower, return temperature rise
control is required – preferably with a mixing valve
that adds hot water to the boiler return line within
a controlled system.
An intelligent heating circuit control system provides protection against overheating the boiler
If the boiler is running at full power, and the remote
control is used to switch a large heating circuit, or
several heating circuits at the same time, from day to
night temperature, the boiler control unit can prevent more fuel being fed in, but it cannot extinguish
the burning wood in the combustion chamber.
Even if the air intake is shut off immediately, the
hot wood will continue to gasify. The wood gas tar
caused by the lack of air would clog the boiler and
chimney.
It is thus easier on the boiler, chimney and environment to burn down the wood left in the combustion
chamber in a controlled manner. The boiler water
temperature would continue to rise if no heating
output was used. To avoid excessive temperature,
all heating and boiler pumps are switched on when
the temperature reaches more than 90°C (factory
default) to dissipate the heat that occurs during a
controlled boiler shut down into the house.
This protection function is not available if the heating circuits are controlled by a control unit separate
from the boiler.
For a heating system without an accumulator a time
window on any day in the weekly program should
be set to „00:00-00:00 60°C“ in the hot water tank
menu to allow heat from the boiler to dissipate.
Automatic deactivation by the ST:
As an additional safety precaution against boiler overheating, the boiler is fitted with a safety
thermostat (ST) that switches off the exhaust gas fan
when the boiler temperature reaches 105°C (tolerance range 99°C to 105°C). When the boiler temperature has fallen below 70°C the ST can be deactivated. The deactivating button is set into a drill
hole in the door frame above the charging door. To
deactivate it, it must be pushed deep into the hole,
preferably with a match.
Safety valve (to be supplied by the plumber)
The heating system contractor must install a safety
valve with a maximum opening pressure of 3 bar
in the boiler flow line. Shut-off valves must not
be fitted between the boiler and the safety valve.
If solar energy or other sources of heat are fed to
the accumulator by means of a heat exchanger, the
accumulator must also be fitted with a safety valve
(max. 3 bar).
To be able to dissipate heat in case of emergency,
the safety valve must be fitted in the boiler flow
line. This is the only way to dissipate heat by blowing out hot water and steam.
The outflow must be routed via a clearly visible,
open channel (siphon funnel) to the canal for a
clear view of malfunctions, and above all to allow
valve closing failure to be detected. If there is no
canal connection available, the blow out side of
the valve must at least be routed through a pipe to
the ground to avoid danger to life and limb when
blowing out hot water or steam.
This prevents the boiler temperature from increasing
further and triggering the safety devices.

If the pressure difference between cold and hot
heating (accumulator fully loaded) is above 1.5 bar
for a single storey heating system, or more than 1 bar
for a three-storey heating system, the compensator
is too small and must be enlarged.
Thermal drain safety device
(to be supplied by the plumber)
The safety heat-exchanger fitted in the boiler must
be connected to the building‘s cold water supply via
a thermal drain valve (opening temperature 95°C)
to protect the boiler against overheating in case of
pump failure. The inlet must be fitted to the lower
connector on the safety heat-exchanger, the upper
connector acts as an outlet to the canal. To avoid
inadvertent shutting off of the inflow, remove the
lever on ball valves, or the hand wheel on valves
and use a piece of wire to hang it on the fitting in
question.
To be able to detect malfunctions visible routing of
the discharge flow is required. The water exiting the
system either reaches the canal via a siphon funnel,
or is at least routed through a pipe to the floor to
avoid danger of scalding if the valve is triggered.
If cold water is drawn from a well with a separate
pump, a thermal drain valve still must be fitted to
the wood gasification boiler. If you have a generously dimensioned air tank, water will still be
available in case of power failure. If the power supply is erratic, an air tank is required for the thermal
drain valve.
If you fail to install a sufficiently large compensator,
the system will take in air on cooling; this air will be
absorbed by the cold water and transported to the
boiler. The air escapes from the water again at the
point with the highest temperature. This is typically
inside the boiler. This inevitably leads to the boiler
wall rusting at the place where air escapes.
Ventilation
Automatic ventilation valves in the boiler inlet line
at the highest point in the distribution network,
and at the top of the accumulator not only mitigate
the danger of corrosion but also reduce the need to
bleed radiators.
Aeration and ventilation of the boiler room
A boiler requires air for combustion.
In Austria (ÖN H 5170) the legal aeration requirement
is 2.2 cm² per kW of boiler output, however, at least
200 cm² of free cross section, and the legal ventilation requirements for systems up to 100 kW boiler
output is at least 180 cm² free cross section, and an
additional 1 cm² for each additional kW.
In Germany (Muster-Feuerungsverordnung) the
legal minimum aeration requirement is 150 cm² for
up to 50 kW and as of 50 kW at least 150 cm² free
aeration and ventilation cross section + 2 cm² per
kW above 50 kW.
If air intake is via channels with a length of more
than 1 m calculations by a heating professional are
required.
Pressure compensation
A membrane compensator with a gross content of
approximately 10% of the system volume, or a constant pressure system must be fitted to the system‘s
return line between the boiler and the accumulator
(see the clause on voiding the warranty on page 4).
All shut-off elements in the path from the compensator to the boiler and in the path to the accumulator must be implemented either as capped valves
or the hand wheel or lever must be removed from
the element (and hung on the valve with a piece of
wire) to prevent inadvertent closing.

Accumulator
Our heating circuit control system normally does
not need an accumulator
When the heating circuit control unit is integrated
in the boiler, and the hot water tank is big enough
to store the heat of the minimum boiler operating
time, an accumulator is not normally required in a
normal, solid brick building.
A controlled transition from the heating to the idle
phase is guaranteed. As long as gasifying wood
remains in the combustion chamber, the supply
of air will be maintained, and the residual heat
produced will be delivered to the heating circuits.
How does the control unit know if there is still
some wood left in the combustion chamber? This
is detected by reference to the temperature and the
residual oxygen content of the exhaust gas in the
combustion chamber.
A sufficiently large domestic hot water tank
To be able to use the woodchip boiler without an
accumulator in summer, the domestic hot water
tank must be large enough to be able to store the
heat from a full heating cycle.

In case of low heating requirements either install
an accumulator or set short heating times
A house with well insulated brick walls (not wooden constructions) is a perfect accumulator itself.
The excessive boiler output can be modified to the
house‘s heating requirement by restricting the heating times to three short time windows distributed
throughout the day.
If the heating requirements in the transitional
seasons autumn/spring are very low, because e.g.
only the bathroom is heated, again a restriction of
heating times is recommended.
the room temperature changes considerably during
the day, even if you do have floor heating, and an
accumulator will be necessary. Heat produced by
the boiler, which cannot be used in the house at
the time, can then be transferred to an accumulator.
When needed, i.e. while the boiler is not running,
this heat is then returned to the heating system.
When is an accumulator absolutely necessary
An accumulator is absolutely necessary, when the
domestic hot water tank is too small to store the
heat from the boiler‘s minimal cycle (see also the
table in the section „A sufficiently large domestic hot
water tank“ on this page) in summer.
An accumulator is absolutely necessary, when the
heating circuit control unit is external (separate)
from boiler control and the boiler thus does not
have access to the heating circuits for its minimal
cycle.
An accumulator is absolutely necessary if timers/
thermostats are installed.
An accumulator is absolutely necessary if the rated
heating requirement is below 70% of the boiler output in wooden houses with a low thermal storage
capacity.
An accumulator is absolutely necessary for hot
water requirement that is above the average or hot
water peaks, for example in hotels, large apartment
buildings, showers near sports centres. (a woodchip
boiler needs up to 20 minutes from idle to maximum output. An accumulator makes it possible to
bridge this gap).
An accumulator is absolutely necessary for air heating or single hot-air fans which are started without
allowing a boiler ramp-up time.
An accumulator is absolutely necessary when
integrating a solar collector with a low temperature
heating system.
Systems with an accumulator must be filled with
decalcified water!
See page 23.
For a wooden house with radiator heating, you
should consider installing an accumulator. Even
more so, when you do not even have the screed of a
floor heating system as storage. If the rated heating
requirement is less than 70% of the boiler output,

Miscanthus, Carpentry Waste in the Woodchip
Miscanthus in the woodchip boiler
Miscanthus needs a larger combustion chamber. This
is why the maximum possible output of the individual boiler sizes is 70% for miscanthus compared to
woodchips.
20 kW woodchip boiler - > 20 kW miscanthus
25 kW woodchip boiler - > 25 kW miscanthus
35 kW woodchip boiler - > 35 kW miscanthus
50 kW woodchip boiler - > 35 kW miscanthus
70 kW woodchip boiler - > 63 kW miscanthus
this makes a flue gas recirculation for miscanthus a
must for these boilers.
Very dry carpentry waste
achieves a very high combustion temperature.
Glue and coating can also shift the ash cindering
threshold downward. Both can cause cinder in the
combustion chamber. As an initial measure against
cinder, reduce the de-ashing times (see page 17).
If this does not lead to an improvement, you will
need to upgrade with a flue gas recirculation, which
is available as an optional accessory.
90 kW woodchip boiler - > 63 kW miscanthus
130 kW woodchip boiler - > 95 kW miscanthus
200 kW woodchip boiler - > 140 kW miscanthus
Miscanthus ash starts to cinder at around 860° and
thus at a much lower temperature than wood ash.
To avoid cinder in the combustion chamber, lower
firing temperatures are required for miscanthus than
for wood. This can be achieved by using a flue gas
recirculation.
A flue gas recirculation (from the exit point of the
boiler to the combustion chamber) increases the gas
flow through the grate and the fire and thus cools
the grate is more effectively. Distributing the heat
from the fire to a larger gas volume helps to create
a narrower and more stable temperature range.
The temperature range remains reliably over 700°C
for complete, clean combustion and reliably below
860°C – far below the cindering point of miscanthus
ashes. For wood pellets less oxygen (less air) is used
to achieve a higher temperature range between 750°
and 950 °C.
Less „fire“ in a combustion chamber of the same size
also leads to lower combustion temperatures and
reduces the danger of cinder. Chaffed miscanthus
(but not pellets) can thus be used as fuel in the
„oversized“ combustion chambers of the 20 and 25
kW boilers without a flue gas recirculation. To allow
this, set the general parameter „Fuel“ in the „CHIP.
BOIL“ menu to „Bulk miscanthus“ and then correct
the „flue gas rec.“ setting to „NO“. Again note that
soiled miscanthus can necessitate a flue gas recirculation despite a smaller combustion chamber load.
Theoretically, larger boilers (as of 35 kW nominal
output) could be adapted for using miscanthus by
restricting their output, but under normal circumstances you will need the higher performance and

Moist Fuel
Rotting and mould
Up to a moisture content of approx. 25% the water is
bound in the wood fibres. Water above 25% lodges
in empty spaces and capillaries between the fibre
cells. This unbound water is habitat, and above all
a perfect breeding ground for microbes and fungi,
which can enter the tree through anomalies in the
wood and particularly easily through cuts or breaks.
These microbes convert cellulose and lignin into
their basic components carbon dioxide and water.
The wood rots, and becomes hollow and soft,
totally compromising the heat value in some cases.
When a tree is felled, a race between drying and
rotting starts. As the water content drops, the
conditions become harder for the microbes until
they finally die off at a moisture content of less than
25%. The faster the drying process, the more heating
value the wood retains.
In the case of thin branches, microbes have a very
large attack surface compared to the volume of
the wood. No matter how neatly you stack the
branches, heating value losses of more than 25%
are typical (even more in wet weather). This is why
forestry workers do not collect branches of below 3
to 5 cm, but leaves them as fertiliser for the forest.
It is easy to identify moist or dry wood
Although experts who handle woodchips every
day require a furnace test to ascertain the exact
moisture content, there is still a very simple way to
tell moist and dry woodchips apart. Woodchips that
feel dry to the touch will have a moisture content of
less than 25% and can thus be stored without any
problem. If the woodchips feel wet, the moisture
content will definitely be above 35%.
If the woodchips are dark brown, light and flaky,
you have rotten wood which has already lost most
of its fuel value. This kind of „compost“ will cause
all kinds of trouble, but it won‘t give you good
boiler performance.
Do not store green woodchips without ventilation
Woodchips with a maximum moisture content of up
to 30% can be stored in a concrete cellar without
ventilation.
If you intend to use green woodchips from a
sawmill, never store the woodchips in unventilated
bunkers for more than three weeks. An aeration
aperture and an extractor fan can evacuate the
water vapour that escapes and at least keep mould
down.

Woodchips
Woodchips - Quality Charts
The „dream“ woodchip would be a finely chopped (G30) hard
wood without bark and with low dust content and a water
content of less than 20%. It has maximum fuel value, occupies
the least storage space and is the perfect fuel for any boiler.
Fine woodchips (G30 or smaller) can be made of dry wood,
thus achieving a higher storage density.
Woodchips with a moisture content below 30% can be
stored.
Woodchips from a sawmill with a water content of 40%
and rough composition are still useful if they are used
within a short time or stored in a well ventilated place.
The boiler performance is not greatly impacted due to the
hot, refractory-lined combustion chamber.
Wood that has been stored for an extended period (10
years) will have lost about 10% of its fuel value.
Woodchips composed of dry branches and bush cuttings
have a higher bark content and a high percentage of fine
sawdust, soiling and rotted material. This causes more
ash. If the wood used to make the chips was dry, storage
problems are unlikely, and the boiler performance impact
will be bearable.
Forestry woodchips composed of green branches cannot
be stored and will considerably impact the maximum boiler
performance.
Wood that has been stored in moist conditions for an
extended period (10 years) will have lost about 50% of
its fuel value. Woodchips made of this kind of wood will
considerably impact the boiler performance.
The final product of moist wood is compost, which can be
disposed of in a garbage incinerator but not in a normal
boiler. Bear in mind to store in a well-ventilated place.
The higher the wood water content, the rougher the cut
has to be. Never store more than a year‘s requirement of
woodchips (logs are easier to store and can be more tightly
packed).
Be extremely cautious when offered woodchips composed
of waste wood at a low price, they may contain a high
percentage of rotten material or foreign bodies (nails,
pesticides, sand, stones).
Store green woodchips in an open shed
Due to the rotting process, green woodchips develop
heat which drives out the water. Wet deposits
collect on the surface and you may see water vapour
rising. If you expose the pile to wind, it can blow
off the excess water, thus allowing roughly chopped
woodchips to dry and keeping rot and fungi down
to acceptable levels.
The perfect solution is a shed roof well away from
living and working accommodation that keeps off

the rain, but lets the wind do its work. At least one
side wall of the shed should be fully open. Additionally ventilation apertures in all the other walls
improve storage conditions.
Artificial ventilation
Despite a number of pilot projects with solar power,
drying with hot air – which is typically blown in
through ducts in the floor of the storage bunker – is
not really economical. The cost of power for drying is
often higher than the fuel value gained.
Roughly chopped woodchips with a low fine
material content dry quickest
Roughly chopped woodchips (make sure you use
sharp cutter blades !!!) dry faster and lose less substance due to their superior permeability to air. Best
practices indicate dump heights of between 4 and 6
m. This height is also safe with regard to self-ignition, which occurs as of approx. 8 m dump height.
Dry wood before chopping; fell in winter and
chop in summer.
Very moist material, green material (leaves and
needles), bark, a high fine particle content (characteristics that are inevitable for bush cuttings and
delimbing material) are not very permeable to air
and very active biologically even if chopped roughly.
Despite a higher level of self-warming, the drying
process is slower due to lack of air permeation and
the loss of substance is thus drastically higher.
It is much easier to dry wood before chopping.
Intermediate storage before chopping in summer
reduces the moisture content to below 30% and
makes for easy storage.
Whether you dry whole trees, or trunks and
branches separately, depends very much on the
accessibility of the forest and on the harvesting
methods. A few tips for orientation:
Dry like hay on a solid surface
Moist woodchips for your own use can best be
spread out in a layer of about 10cm on a tarmac
or concrete surface on a hot summer‘s day. Good
results are typically obtained on fine, sunny days
in autumn after turning the woodchips multiple
times. Typically a moisture content of less than 30%
is achieved after just two days and the woodchips
can be stored in unfavourable conditions if they are
this dry.
Airy piles, trunks with broken bark, or whole trees
dry more quickly and easily. The sun helps the
drying process, but wind is absolutely essential.
Softwood should be felled in December at the latest,
and stored at least 50 m from the forest due to the
danger of pests.
If first thinning of softwood takes place in September, the wood will not attract beetles in spring. You
can leave it in the forest without delimbing and
chop the whole trees in summer.
Drying in a skeleton box with roof
If you are thinking of building a new woodchip
store, a roofed skeleton box is a good choice as it
allows green woodchips to dry in the air. A windy
location is important. The store should also face
south to improve the drying process even in winter.
The container height depends on the height of the
front-end loader required for filling. The lower wall
element must be removable so that you can unload
the woodchips. The depth can be up to 2 m. The

Dustcontent
Dust does not burn as well and is often indicative of rotten or soiled woodchips; for this reason, ÖNORM M 7133
„Woodchips for energy purposes“ defines maximum dust content of 4%.
Large pieces
The fuel contains large pieces of up to 12 cm length. The blade in the rotary valve will cut single large strips. The
bulk of the woodchips, yet, should be no longer than 5 cm to avoid fuel feeder blocking.
Dirt
Soil and sand cause the grate to cinder, and necessitate more cleaning.
Green Leaves A layer of woodchips composed of green twigs with leaves or needles in the woodchip dump can cause a
Green Needles barrier that causes rising moisture to condense and thus leads to rotting and mould.

Content
The lower the moisture content, the higher the fuel value. Additionally, the wood
shrinks at below 25% moisture content; for this reason, a cubic metre of W20
contains approx. 3% more wood than a cubic metre of W30.
For compliance with ÖNORM M 7133 the moisture content is given as a percentage of
the total weight (see „Assessing moisture content“ on page 33).
Woodchips can be easily stored up to a moisture content of 30%. As of 35%
the woodchips will start to mould and rot in case of extended storage (loss of
fuel value).

Impact on Fuel Value
Chipsize
The finer the material is chopped, the more material a cubic metre contains.
The size classification in line with ÖNORM M 7133 specifies the average length of a
piece in mm (see „woodchip standard size classes“ on page 32).
Woodtype
Hardwood is more dense and heavy and thus
has a higher fuel value per cubic metre.
Bark Content
The lighter the woodchips are, the less bark they contain. Woodchips from thin
branches, or „woodchips with bark“ from sawmills have a high bark content with
high ash content and typically also heavier soiling. This means more cleaning.
Woodchips composed of fine branches are typically also more prone to rot.
High bark content means a higher ash content and thus more cleaning. .

Other Fuels
Fuel Value
Other fuels
Pellets
Pellets have a higher fuel density and thus necessitate a flue gas recirculation (available as an optional extra). Pellets
are always sold by weight; the fuel value of hardwood pellets (4.60 kWh/kg) is about 6% less than that of softwood
pellets (4.9 kWh/kg).
Miscanthus
The fuel value is the same as air-dry softwood; buy by weight if possible. As the ash cinder threshold is very low, you
will need a flue gas recirculation to prevent cinder (available on option) (see page 27). To keep boiler corrosion to a
minimum, pay attention to non-chlorinated fertilizers (potassium sulphate instead of potassium chloride). No matter
whether chaffed or pelletised, miscanthus needs a very large combustion chamber; for this reason, the 35/50 range
achieves a maximum heating output of 35 kW, the 70/90 range achieves max. 63 kW, the 130 range max. 95 kW, and
the 200 range max. 140 kW.
Old Holz
Wood stored in a dry place loses only the volatile components (approx. 10% of its fuel value). Wood stored in damp
conditions will rot (cold oxidation process) entirely compromising its fuel value
Planing chips
The heating value per cubic metre varies greatly and is about 30 to 60% lower than G30-W30 woodchips of the
same wood. As woodchips are typically air-dry (15 to 20% moisture content), buy by weight if possible. Planing
chips of some hardwood types will cause excessive wear and tear on the refractory-lining in the combustion
chamber. Using planing chips, you will not be able to achieve the full nominal boiler output.
Sawdust
The fuel value per cubic meter (bulk volume) is between 25 and 50% lower than G30-W30 woodchips of the
same wood. It is best to buy sawdust by weight after measuring the moisture content. The boiler described here
is not designed for use with sawdust only. You can expect a drastic performance cut and more cleaning.
Chipboard
From a technological point of view, the boiler is suitable for burning chipboard waste, if fitted with an optional
flue gas recirculation, assuming that this waste is free of formaldehyde, pesticides and not PVC coated. Despite
this, you will need individual approval from the authorities, and this is typically only granted to wood-working
enterprises.
Waste wood
Use only wood that is free of halogens and pesticides for heating purposes. The percentage of rotten wood
is typically high, and the fuel value thus low; this type of wood is often contaminated with dust, metal and
stones.

Price corrections based on moisture content
Price corrections based on the moisture content are
necessary to be able to buy and sell woodchips by
weight.
It is typical to agree a basic price for 30 or 20% moisture
content and to adjust the kilogram price for a delivery
based on the moisture content measurement by
deducting a percentage of the price for a greater moisture
content or adding a percentage for a lower moisture
content.

Oven method of ascertaining moisture content
One kilogram of woodchips is spread over an oven tray
and dried in the oven for 6 to 12 hours at a temperature of
101 to 104°C. To make sure that the temperature is above
100° C in a normal electric oven, you can set the temperature to 110°C, but no more: a slight raise in temperature
will cause the wood to start gasifying. Fine and very wet
chips need to be turned several times. The difference in
weight between the wet and dry samples corresponds to
the moisture content.
Longer intermediate storage of the sample can falsify the
results of the moisture content test.
Take samples after transportation
The upper layers of a woodchip dump contain 10% to
30% more moisture than the core. Loading and unloading
in the course of transportation mixes the material. If you
take a sample of about 1 litre at 5 different places which
are at least 20 cm below the surface (but never on the
surface) from each batch you should have a good average.
Taking a test sample from the total sample
Multiple loads will yield more than 1 kg of sample material. To reduce the amount, mix the material by shoveling
onto a new heap taking care to empty the shove above
the top of the heap, thus allowing the material to spread
over the full surface of the heap. Then flatten the tip
and take two opposite quarters from the heap. Repeat
the mixing and removing process until you have two test
samples of 1 kg each. 1 kg for the buyer, who will typically
ascertain the water content using an oven, and 1 kg for
the seller as a counter-sample. The volume of one kilo is
approx. 3 litres for moist, heavy woodchips and up to 5
litres for very dry, light material.
Moisture content and humidity
The moisture content has established itself as the typical
criterion for fuel wood, whereas lumber traders will typically state the humidity of the wood.

Heating Curve, Heating Threshold
Day: Adjust the heating curve for daytime operations by setting
two reference points. The control unit uses these points and
the current outside temperature to calculate the required flow
temperature (for example at +3°C outside temperature and
44°C flow, or for -5°C outside and 54°C flow). If a room sensor
is installed, this temperature is adjusted and the actual flow
temperature can be higher or lower.

This diagram shows the factory default settings.
If the control unit settings for your system have been
modified, the settings may use a lower heating curve
for under-floor heating, and a higher heating curve for
radiator heating.
Heating threshold night: The heating system will switch of
during the night when the adjustable outside temperature
value (7°C in our example) is exceeded.
Maximum flow temperature: This threshold value protects
your heating system. Underfloor heatings are typically limited
to 40°C, up to 85°C are possible for radiators with metal piping
(SERVICE permission level required to adjust).
Frost protection: If the flow temperature or the temperature
measured by the room sensor is below 10°C (not adjustable), the
heating circuit pump is switched on. If an average brick house
remains unheated for more than 5 days in winter, check at weekly intervals to make sure the boiler is working properly.

A submenu starting with MODE appears. Press [▼] or [▲] to place the cursor in

A submenu starting with Req Flow Temp. . appears. In the first two lines
you can compare the rated flow temperature (first line) calculated by the control unit
with the current flow temperature (second line).
Req Flow Temp. is a set of values calculated by the control unit by reference to the heating characteristic, heating times/night time temperature drop, room
sensors adjustment, outside temperature driven heating thresholds,frost protection
and maximum flow temperature.
Press [▼] three times to view the settings for the heating curve. The curve is displayed in the form of two reference points, one for an outdoor temperature of -10º, and
the second for an outdoor temperature of +10º.
If the below zero outdoor temperature
is too high or too low, you can adjust the flow for -10º outdoor temperature and leave the temperature settings for +10°C unchanged. Was the flow temperature correct at the start of the heating season, or was it adjusted?
The control unit uses these two temperature reference points to calculate a heating
curve and based on this the flow temperature required for the current outside temperature. The night curve is linked via the night time temperature drop value to the
day time curve, and is thus automatically adjusted.
Thus move the cursor to the -10º outdoor temp. line in winter, and to
the +10º outdoor temp. line in transition periods. . Press [ ] to change.
The arrow at the right changes into a question mark and the temperature value starts
flashing.
Press [▼] or [▲] to set the temperature and then [ ] to save. The question mark
cursor becomes an arrow, and the new temperature value is shown (non-flashing).
For underfloor heating with plastic pipes, never set a temperature of more
than 40°C.
Always make gradual adjustments. Never more than 3° for under-floor heating and
never more than 6° for radiators. You may need to readjust after one or two days. But
gradual adjustments are more precise and ensure an economic use of energy.
Night setback
Excessive use of night setback is not recommended. Walls cooling down excessively over night mean that far higher air temperatures are required in the morning. This compromises the energy savings made during the night while at the
same time impacting user comfort.

There are three different strategies for accumulator charging
In the ACC. TANK menu, you can modify the accumulator loading process using
the ACC.T. top ON.. and ACC.T. bot OFF settings.
If both values are set to a low value (10°C), the boiler will only start when a
consumer requests heat. Excess output is only swapped to the accumulator if
the heating requirement is low.
If you set a high value (50 to maximum 65°C) for ACC.T. top ON. and
a low value (10°C) for ACC.T. bot OFF , only the top of the accumulator is kept hot. The lower area of the accumulator is reserved for solar panels
for example. The boiler starts when the temperature drops below ACC.T.
top ON. and keeps running until the temperature at the top has increased
by a hysteresis value (factory default 10°C).
In case of larger hot water requirements, for a process water heat
exchanger, for an air heater, or to avoid starting a second boiler in a multiple
boiler system, the accumulator must be loaded. To do so, set the minimum
temperature level (max 75°C) at the top, and reduce the switch off temperature by 15 to 30°C to reserve storage capacity for the heat produced during
shut-down. The boiler starts when the accumulator temperature drops below
ACC.T. top ON., and shuts down when the accumulator exceeds the
ACC.T. bot OFF value.

Holiday Function
Holiday function; drops the heating temperature until a specific date!
You can drop the heating temperature for the duration of your holiday, and
automatically restart at the end of your holiday. You can also drop the temperature for one of several heating circuits until a specified date.
Note that the temperature correction value (+/- 5°C) at the room sensor influences both the NIGHT temperature and the DAY temperature (=temperature to
heat up to at end of holiday); for this reason, you should not adjust the temperature correction value under normal circumstances. If you wish to reduce the
temperature by a large amount, you can adjust the temperature drop temperature in the „ MC 0 -> Room Temp. -> Rated Value ...at
night “ menu (see page 42).
1st Step: Entering the end of your holiday
First go back to the top menu by pressing the [ ] button multiple times.
In the main menu press [▼] or [▲], move the arrow cursor to the MC 0
item, and then press [ ] to access the submenu.
