Safety notes

1.1 Basic safety information

Due to its functionally limited electrical and

mechanical characteristics with regard to usage,

operation and maintenance, if the equipment is

not able to work according to its appropriate use

or improper interference occurs, it may cause

serious health and material damage. It is therefore

conditional that the planning and implementation

of all installations, transportation, operation and

maintenance will be carried out and supervised by

responsible, qualified persons.

When operating electrical systems, certain parts

of those systems will always carry a hazardous

electrical voltage or be exposed to a mechanical

load. Only appropriately qualified personnel may

carry out work on the system. They must be

thoroughly familiar with the content of this and all

other manuals. In order for this system to function

safely and without any problems, transportation,

storage, operation and maintenance must be

carried out properly and carefully. Instructions and

information on the systems must also be heeded.

1.2 Installation

General safety notes

In order to ensure that the system will function

properly, the relevant standards and the

manufacturer’s installation instructions are to be

heeded during the installation of the system!

Documents from the manufacturer relating to the

heating devices and components used are

available from HERZ on request.

1.3 Operation and maintenance

1.3.1 General notes

Don´t open the boiler doors until

“HEATING OFF” is displayed,

otherwise a risk of deflagration

(explosion) is given.

In order for the system to be

operated and maintained safely, it

must be operated and maintained

properly by qualified personnel

while heeding the warnings in this

documentation and the

instructions on the systems.

In unfavourable operating

conditions, the temperatures of

parts of the housing may exceed

80 °C.

If the door to the ash container is

opened during operation, the fuel

supply will be shut off and the

boiler will switch to the burnout

phase. Afterwards the boiler will

switch to the operating mode

“HEATING OFF”.

Ambient conditions

Operating temperature:

+10 to +40 °C

Warehouse-/ transport

temperature:

-20 to +70 °C

Humidity:

operation

5 to 85 %

storage

5 to 95 %

1.3.2 Operation

Covers which prevent contact

with hot or rotating parts or which

are required in order to direct the

flow of air correctly and thus

ensure the effective functioning of

the system must not be opened

during operation.

In the event of a fault or unusual

operating conditions such as the

emission of smoke or flames, the

system is to be switched off

immediately by operating the

emergency stop button. Notify

the HERZ Customer Service

department immediately.

◼If the boiler room door main switch is operated

or if a power failure occurs, the system will be

taken out of operation immediately. The

remaining quantity of residual fuel will burn

independently without giving off any toxic

gases, if the chimney draught is sufficiently.

Therefore, the chimney must be designed and

produced in accordance with DIN 4705 or EN

13384. When the boiler is switched on again,

the system has to be checked in order to make

sure that it is fully functional and a safe

operation of the whole system must be

guaranteed!

◼The noise generated by the machine during

operation does not present any danger to

health.

◼If the residual flue gas oxygen content drops

below the required minimum of 5 %, the fuel

supply will be stopped automatically and will

not be activated again until the residual oxygen

content has risen to more than 5 % (fault text:

MIN O2 [%] 5.0)

Warning notes

1.3.3 Maintenance

Before starting to carry out any work on the

system, but especially before opening covers

protecting live parts, the system is to be properly

disconnected from the power supply. Besides the

main circuits, attention is also to be paid to any

existing additional or auxiliary circuits in the

process. The normal safety rules according to

ÖNORM are:

◼Disconnect all poles and all sides!

◼Ensure that the system cannot be

switched on again!

◼Check to ensure that no voltage is

connected!

◼Earth and short-circuit!

◼Cover adjacent live parts and locate

hazardous areas

These above-mentioned

measures must not be reversed

until the system has been fully

installed and maintenance has

been completed.

Personal dust masks and gloves

must be worn when carrying out

maintenance in the combustion

chamber or the ash collector or

on flue gas-carrying parts and

when emptying the ash container,

etc.!

Extra-low-voltage lamps are to be

used when carrying out

maintenance in the fuel storage

room. Electrical equipment in the

fuel storage room must be

designed in accordance with

ÖNORM_EN_ISO_20023!

In order to prevent any maintenance errors, if

maintenance is not carried out properly, it is

recommended to be carried out regularly by

authorised personnel or by the HERZ Customer

Service department.

Spare parts must be obtained directly from the

manufacturer or a distribution partner. Due to the

noise caused by the machine, the customer is not

exposed to health risks.

2 WARNING NOTES

Risk of injury and damage to

property due to improper

handling of the system. Damage

to property is possible.

Caution –hot surface

Warning –against hand injuries.

No admittance without

authorisation.

However, adherence to guidelines for

transportation, installation, operation and

maintenance notices as well as technical data (in

the operating instructions, product documentation

and on the equipment itself) which are not

specifically highlighted, is also vital to avoid

breakdowns which may directly or indirectly cause

major personal or material damage.

General safety notes

For reasons of clarity and possible permutations,

this documentation does not contain all detailed

information and cannot take account of every

conceivable operating or maintenance scenario.

Should you require further information or

encounter specific problems, which are not

handled in detail in the documentation supplied,

you can obtain the required information from your

specialist dealer or direct from HERZ.

People (including children) who, because of their

physical, sensory or mental capabilities or

because of their lack of experience or knowledge,

are unable to use the equipment safely must not

use this equipment unless they are supervised or

instructed by a responsible person.

Fuels

3 FUELS

The boiler should be operated with the fuels and

their properties which are described in this

chapter.

3.1 Wood chips

Wood chips for non-industrial use with low fines

content according to EN 17225-1/4 with following

specification:

◼Property class A1, A2, B1

◼particle size P16S

◼Water content min. 15 % up to max. 40 %

◼Ash content in m-%: <1.0 (A1), <1.5 (A2),

<3.0 (B1)

◼Calorific value at as-delivered condition >

3,1 kWh/kg

◼Bulk density (BD) at as-delivered

condition > 150 kg/m³

The property classes A1 and A2 represent fresh

wood and chemically untreated wood residues. A1

contains fuels with low ash content, which

indicates little or no bark and fuels with lower

water content, while class A2 has a slightly higher

ash content and/or water content. B1 extends

origin and source of class A and includes

additional materials, such as short rotation

plantation wood, wood from gardens and

plantations etc., as well as chemically untreated

industrial wood waste. Class B2 also includes

chemically treated industrial wood waste and used

wood.

3.2 Wood pellets

Wood pellets for non-industrial use according to

ENplus, Swisspellet, DINplus resp. pellets

according to EN 17225-2 with following

specifications:

◼Property class A1

◼The maximum permissible fines content in

the fuel storage room must not exceed 8

% of the fuel volume (determined using a

perforated screen with holes 5 mm in

diameter)!

◼Fines content at loading: < 1,0 m-%

◼Calorific value at as-delivered condition

> 4,6 kWh/kg

◼Bulk density (BD) at as-delivered

condition > 600 kg/m³

◼Mechanical Strength (DU), EN 17831-1 at

as-delivered condition in m-%: DU 97,5 ≥

97,5

◼Diameter 6 mm

The nominal power and the emission values can

be guaranteed up to a maximum water content of

25% and a minimum calorific value of 3,5 kWh/kg

of the permissible fuel.

From a water content of about 25 % and a

calorific value < 3,5 kWh/kg a reduced output is

expected.

Prevent the entering of debris such as stones

or metal particles into the system! Sand and

soil lead to higher level of ash and slagging

precipitation.

There may be a formation of slag according to the

fuel quality, which has to be removed by hand.

In the case of non-compliance, any warranty

or guarantee will be rendered null and void.

The burning of unsuitable fuels could lead to

uncontrolled combustion. Operational faults

and consequential damage are likely to occur.

If a different fuel is named explicitly on the order

respectively the order confirmation, the system

can be operated with the mentioned fuel.

Note: The system is set to the agreed fuel at the

commissioning. This setting (ID-fan speed, fuel,

flow and backflow, cycle times, etc.) should not be

changed when using constant fuel quality.

Safety devices

4 SAFETY DEVICES

The safety devices must be dimensioned and installed according to EN 12828.

The safety valve in the boiler circulation serves as a final safety device against malfunctions of the

equipment.

All legal safety regulations must be adhered to on-site via the authorised specialist company.

Earthing or potential equalisation must be carried out on the whole heating system according to EN 60204-1

by an authorised specialist company.

1 Safety temperature limiter

If the boiler temperature exceeds 95 °C, the

equipment must be switched off for safety

reasons. The safety temperature limiter (STL) will

lock in this case.

Possible causes may be:

◼Performance decrease in the boiler was

interrupted abruptly. This can occur due to

the switching off a pump or sudden

shutting of the heating circuit mixer.

◼The load pumps are being controlled by

the HERZ Control. The so-called excess

temperature flue gas would be

automatically activated by the HERZ

Control. This avoids higher boiler

temperatures.

◼The boiler is too large.

◼The fuel level is set too high.

◼Loss of power supply

◼Etc.

At First the cause of the failure must be found and

be corrected, afterwards the safety temperature

limiter can be unlocked.

The boiler temperature must be lower than 75

°C before unlocking.

Only then the problem can be acknowledged. For

this purpose, the cover of the STL is screwed off.

The STL can be unlocked by a light pressure with

a sharp object. After unscrewing the cover the

fault acknowledgement must be performed at the

switch box. The location of the STL is on the left

side next of the display.

2 and 3 automated extinguishing device

The Boiler features an automated extinguishing

device. The device consists of a thermal safety

valve, a thermostat valve (3) and a water tank (2).

If the feeding screw temperature gets exceeded,

the valve opens independently and flushes the

feeding pipe. This extinguishing device is used as

a safety device at burn back.

4 Burn-back safety unit

The burn-back safety unit prevents a burn-back

into the fuel storage room. It separates

additionally the combustion chamber and the fuel

storage room. The burn-back safety unit (or cell

wheel sluice) is conducted like a fire flap. It opens

only when fuel is fed to the boiler.

5 Safety valve

The safety valve automatically releases, when the

pressure or temperature exceeds preset limits.

The safety valve has to release at the maximum

allowable pressure (according to boiler plate).

6 Safety heat exchanger

The safety heat exchanger is a built-in safety

device and has to be connected to a thermal

release valve and installed, according to applied

standards. The safety heat exchanger has to be

connected directly to a cold water pipe (pressure

≤ 3 bar)

7 Ash container and burning chamber safety

device

The ash containers are connected contact-free

(inductive sensor) to the boiler.

Fuel storage room temperature monitoring

The fuel storage room temperature monitoring is

placed directly above the transport screw. There

is placed a temperature sensor which is setting to

the release temperature. If the storage room

temperature exceeds its preset limit, the boiler will

switch to the operate condition „HEATING OFF“

and displays a fault report. Additionally, a fault

sensor output gets active. Conduct alerting in

accordance with national standards.

System

5 SYSTEM

5.1 System overview

In figure 5.1 an example of a system with the following three components is shown:

(1) Storage room filling system

(2) Boiler

(3) Room discharge system

In the pictured case a rigid pellets-screw system with modular agitator system (3) is shown. The filling of the

fuel storage room is carried out with vertical filling screws (1). Please consider that the installed room

discharge and storage room filling system can be different to the displayed system. If all room discharge and

storage room filling systems of HERZ would be presented, the scope of this guide would be exceeded

considerably. More information can be provided by the company HERZ.

When the storage room will be filled, the agitator must turn.

The agitator with spring discharge or articulated arm or conveyor screw assists in emptying the storage

space. A complete emptying of the storage space is not guaranteed by the withdrawal system. The degree of

emptying depends on many factors that are not within the sphere of influence of Herz.
