In order for the installation of solid fuel boilers to be carried out correctly, and the equipment to last for a long time, certain rules must be observed. This will also guarantee security. It is important to know before starting work in which place and how to install solid fuel equipment. It is important to ensure the necessary supply of space around the equipment, and this will imply the need for additional space in the house.
Room requirements for boiler installation
Installation of solid fuel boilers is carried out in special boiler rooms, which must be equipped with intensive ventilation. This will ensure the correct combustion process. The floor must be made of concrete and its thickness must not be less than 5 cm. The equipment must be installed in the right place. The disadvantages of such equipment are the need to install the boiler where there is a lot of space around the perimeter, so necessary for ventilation of surfaces.
Technology of work
The installation of solid fuel boilers is carried out according to a certain method. At the first stage, it is necessary to place the appropriate heating equipment in the boiler room, then the pipeline is laid along the living space. The next step is strapping, but at the last stage, the boiler is launched.
Ensuring the safety of equipment
The installation of solid fuel boilers is carried out in a room whose area should not be less than 7 square meters. In the boiler room, it is absolutely necessary to install a ventilation system. The cross section of the ventilation channel should be equal to 80 millimeters per 1 kW of heating equipment power. As a safe distance from the boiler to the wall, 0.5 meters act. The surface of the floor must be paved with non-combustible materials. Before the boiler, it is necessary to place a sheet of non-combustible material, it can be metal.
Recommendations to the master
Installation of solid fuel heating boilers is carried out using some tools and materials. In order to make the distribution of coolant pipes, as well as solder the connecting elements, it will be necessary to prepare special equipment such as a soldering iron designed for plastic pipes. You will need a welding machine, as well as scissors for pipes. Tying is considered the most difficult stage. It will be necessary to carry out the arrangement of the chimney. The latter should not have turns, but if they still had to be done, then they should not be cool. In the place where the boiler is connected to the chimney, good tightness must be ensured. To do this, use heat-resistant tape or sealant. The chimney must have the strength properties, its design is required to maintain the weight of the pipe with a margin, and the pipe cross section must correspond to the cross section at the outlet of the equipment. After the installation of solid fuel boilers is completed, the master must tighten all the joints and analyze them for leaks. Next, the hydraulic system is washed and checked.
Boiler start
At the time of start-up, the heating system must be full and the equipment connected. Around the latter, all trash that could remain after
installation work should be removed
, the doors must be closed. Only after complete cooling is completed, it will be possible to get rid of existing malfunctions.
Installation Rules
If you are installing a solid fuel boiler yourself, you should remember that if there is not enough space in the boiler room, you can install the equipment in a separate extension or behind the furnace wall. To do this, you need to install a frame made of metal, and then sheathe sandwich panels. Sometimes a
profiled sheet with heat-insulating material is used for this. This option is especially convenient for those who are going to use coal as fuel, while it will be possible to exclude dirt inside the house. If we are talking about inexpensive equipment that has little power, then it can be installed directly on the rough screed. Such boilers are lightweight and are not able to exert strong loads on the foundation. This is due to the fact that such boilers are not equipped with a screw conveyor or fan. If you have purchased an aggregate with a power exceeding 50 kW, then it is necessary to pour the concrete foundation in advance, which must be supported on the ground and a well-compacted crushed stone bedding. The foundation should be 100 millimeters higher in relation to the screed, while the structures should not be interconnected. When operating
boilers of long burning, in which there is a mechanism for raising and lowering a heavy load, a base is also required. As a rule, projects of private houses provide for the installation of a chimney shaft in the walls with a pipe exit through the roof. If such a shaft is absent or occupied by a gas heater, it will be necessary to install a chimney for the mounted boiler. For this, it is recommended to use steel double-walled chimneys with additional insulation. They are lightweight and easily fixed to the wall. Double-walled bends and tees are made for branches and turns.
Some features of the work
In the absence of a shaft, you can install a transfer grill, which is located under the ceiling. The role of the hood is that a vacuum is provided in the furnace, as a result, the supply air from other rooms is sucked in there. Today you can order a turnkey installation of solid fuel boilers, however, if you decide to do this yourself, you need to take into account the moment that when installing equipment with a capacity of 50 kW or more, it will be necessary to install a separate supply ventilation. Most often, there is no sewage outlet in boiler rooms. This is not correct, as in some cases it becomes necessary to empty the water jacket or the system itself. The safety valve is supposed to be dumped into the same drain. Before starting the assembly of the equipment, it is necessary to consider whether there is enough free space in the boiler room. If there is quite crowded, then the work must be carried out on the street. Automation devices and a fan must be installed after the boiler is installed. The solid fuel boiler with the buffer is mounted on the foundation so that the gas outlet pipe is located on the same axis as the chimney pipe.
Conclusion
Installation work can be done independently, since the weight of the equipment quite often does not exceed 50 kg. It is necessary to fix the boiler to the foundation so that there are no distortions. At the same time, it is important to use a special construction level, since such work is not recommended by eye. This can cause unpleasant consequences.
