6. BOILER MAINTENANCE
6.1. The frequency of Cleaning and
Maintenance
In order to enable long life expectancy of the boiler without any operation interruptions,
it is necessary to regularly clean and maintain the boiler. In this way you will avoid costly
repairs. Keeping your firebox clean is the basic condition for the good boiler operation. A layer
of soot and tar accumulates on the firebox walls and it is necessary to mechanically clean the
furnace.
The frequency of the maintenance depends on the quality of pellet and the power of the
boiler. Generally, it is necessary to observe the frequency of maintenance described in the
table.
Turn off the automation of the boiler and the boiler main switch before the
operations described in the table below.
Table 6. The frequency of Cleaning and Maintenance
Interval
Component
How it is performed
Every three days
Clean the convective beam
Move the handle for cleaning on the
mechanism for cleaning the convective
beam (Fig. 1, position 15) forward -
backward. It is necessary to move the
handle forward-backward for five to six
times.
Every seven days (for
firebox
used
for
combustion of wood or
coal)
Clean the internal exchange
surface of the layers of soot
Use the cleaning kit shown in Fig.14 to
scrape loot layers from the walls of the
firebox
Monthly
Clean the pellet storage
Regardless of the pellet quality, a
certain amount of pellet dust remains
on the walls and bottom of the storage
During the cleaning it is necessary to
use or remove all pellet from the
storage, and then suck up the dust with
a vacuum cleaner.
Every six months
Clean the automation display Cleaning should be done with well
wrung-out damp cloth
Check whether the chimney ,
flue pipe elbow, chimney
pipe are clean and if
necessary clean them.
Wait for the boiler to cool down,
dismantle the flue pipe, flue gas
channel and smoke outlet elbow and
perform the cleaning with the same kit
which is delivered with the boiler
Check the water probe of the
boiler and the probe of flue
gas and if necessary clean
them
Carefully take out the probes out of
their location and if necessary clean
them of soot layers (for flue gas probe)
and of possible lime scale (water probe
of boiler)
Annually
Thorough annual cleaning at
the end of the heating
season.
Clean all the components described in
the upper part of the table
