Econoburn EBW-100 Installation And Operating Manual - page 8
With the location of the boiler selected the next step is to position the unit and proceed with as-
sembly. If a noncombustible base is not required ECONOBURN™ recommends that the boiler be
placed on masonry blocks (bricks or 8” concrete blocks) if space permits, to allow easier fueling
and to keep the ECONOBURN™ boiler above any possible water in the basement. These blocks
should extend approximately 1” on all sides of the boiler for support and stability.
Continue as follows:
1. Plan all plumbing and electrical runs so that flue pipe is easily removable for cleaning and to
permit movement in the area as necessary.
2. Position masonry blocks and place the unit on top. Level the blocks as necessary.
3. Install aquastat wells, tridicator and pipe fittings using good quality pipe thread sealant or Teflon
tape.
4. Install the aquastats and complete the wiring, plumbing, smoke pipe and fire extinguishing tube
installations as shown in the appropriate electrical and plumbing diagrams.
5. IMPORTANT: Always test all functions under actual firing conditions before leaving the site. Test
especially for correct operation of damper, limit and by-pass zone valve and circulator.
Note: If the ECONOBURN™ boiler is installed above the radiation level, a low water cut off is re-
quired. It should be installed on pipe tees positioned at the supply and return points of the boiler.
WARNING - NEVER LEAVE START UP TO THE OWNER. EXPLAIN
THE OPERATIONS THOROUGHLY TO THE OPERATOR.
COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY
Air inlets of at least 200 square inches free area must be provided to the room occupied by the
wood fired boiler.
These fresh air inlets must provide or allow free access of fresh outside air to the boiler.
At no time, or under any circumstances can a wood burning boiler be starved of combustion air.
The boiler must at all times be able to maintain the approved stack draft. The barometric draft reg-
ulator must be installed on the boiler smoke pipe in the same room or at least in such a way that
there is unrestricted free passage of air between the combustion air inlet to the boiler or burner
and the barometric draft regulator.
It is important to provide adequate combustion air to the boiler, a minimum 200 square inches
free area. It may be necessary to add a ventilator to an exterior wall of a closed boiler room or an
airtight basement.
Operating a wood or oil fired appliance with inadequate combustion air could be hazardous.
