4 Planning and installation – Structural requirements

Make sure there is an adequate supply of fresh air to the boiler room
so that there is enough air available for the combustion process and
to protect the operator from the hazards of insufficient oxygen.
I
NSTALLATION
A base is not necessary for installation of the boiler. Ensure that the
floor is level.
For unhindered operation and maintenance of the heating system,
you must ensure that it is installed to our specifications and that the
minimum clearances are maintained.
Also note that the thresholds in DIN 4109 “Soundproofing in building
construction” may not be exceeded.
More detailed information can be found in the respective ordinances
of the German states.
We recommend that objects which are not needed for the operation
or maintenance of the heating system not be stored in the boiler
room.

STORAGE
The fuel storage should have the following characteristics:
•
dry
•
dust-proof
•
structurally suitable
•
accessible for the filling process
•
free of other installations, especially in existing buildings
•
adapted to fuel requirements
The refilling intervals should be kept as long as possible. The HDG
Compact 25 - 80 heating system should be located so that the noise
generated does not exceed the permitted values of DIN 4109
“Soundproofing in building construction”.

ROPER
DIMENSIONING
The size of the fuel storage depends on the heating system, the de-
termined heating demand, the resulting annual fuel requirements
and existing building conditions. Practice has shown that filling the
fuel storage four to six times per heating period is ideal.
P
ASSAGE
THROUGH
THE
WALL
The passage through the wall usually has to be made in the wall be-
tween the boiler installation site and the fuel storage. Its position de-
pends on the distance and the position of the HDG Compact heating
Building regulations may differ from country to country and state to
state.
For this reason, consult a qualified specialist for the planning and in-
stallation of your boiler room.
Observe the fire safety regulations.
Also observe the accident prevention regulations of the official
safety organisations.
