INSTALLATION ROOM
POSITIONING
The
SIXEN
boiler installation room must be for exclusive use, meet the Technical Standards and Legislation in force and equipped
with adequately sized ventilation openings.
It is recommended to position the boiler, if possible, lifted from the floor to minimise dust extraction by the burner fan.
For information only, below is some useful information:
–
the room must be provided with a main entrance for steam generator passage and two doors with panic bar for personnel. It
must also be provided with an adequate fire-fighting system
–
the support base of the generator must be flat and able to withstand the weight of the appliance full of water, complete with
accessories and pipes for the possible execution of the on-site hydraulic test
–
it must be equipped with ventilation openings created as established by the relevant Technical Standards
–
the installation room must be for the exclusive use of personnel working on the steam generator.
Prohibition for
unauthorised people to access should be appropriately indicated
–
buffer zones must be provided around the generator, wide enough to allow operators to safely carry out the running, control
and maintenance of all installed components
–
consider the possible the need to replace components that fail over time.

IMPORTANT
–
A space is necessary at the front of the generator, at least equal to the length of the tube bundle to allow the extraction
of the turbulators to clean the pipes and possibly replace the smoke pipes.
–
All generator, safety valves discharges, etc., must be suitably conveyed to inspectionable collection points.
a
ATTENTION
–
Consider the spaces necessary to access the adjustment and safety devices and to perform maintenance.
–
If the burner is fed with gas of specific weight greater than that of the air, the electrical parts must be positioned at least
500 mm from the ground.
ROOM VENTILATION
The installation room must be equipped with a ventilation system according to the current legislation.
For the dimensions of the openings, always refer to the current legislation.
The ventilation openings are used to allow the inflow of combustion air and to eliminate any fuel gas pockets from the room.
Indicatively, if gases lighter than air (methane) are used, the ventilation openings must be placed at the highest point of the room;
vice-versa, for fuel gas heavier than air (lpg), the ventilation openings must be placed flush with the floor.
