the responsible chimney sweep
Standards and guidelines
• VDI 2035, prevention of damage due to corrosion
and scaling in hot-water heating systems with
flow temperatures up to 120°C. Instead of the
maximum hardness of 11.2 dH for 20 to 50
lt/kW specific system volume, the maximum
lime content of the initial fill-up for the boiler
described here is limited to 20,000 lt°dH (system
volume in litres multiplied by the hardness in
degrees of German hardness).
• EN 12828, heating systems in buildings -
planning for hot-water heating systems. The
safety temperature limiter (100°C) is already
installed in the boiler described here. The
contractor must install a sufficiently large
expansion tank (at least 10% of the system
volume), a safety valve and a thermal emergency
cooling valve.
• EN 12831, heating systems in buildings - method
for calculating standard heating load
• EN 13384, flue systems - thermal and fluid-
dynamic calculation methods
• EN 15287-1, flue systems for heating appliances
dependent on ambient air - planning, installation
and commissioning
• Only in Germany, DIN 18160, flue systems -
planning and design
Buffer storage tank is essential
For a wood fire that cannot be indefinitely reduced
in intensity, minimum heating load can be a
problem. A buffer that can store surplus boiler
output is essential.
In Germany, 1. BImSchV (first Federal Emission
Control Act) stipulates a minimum buffer volume
of 55 litres per kW of boiler output. For a 30 kW
boiler, that's 1,650 litres, which is a thoroughly
adequate buffer volume.
The lower the return temperature to the buffer,
the greater its heat storage capacity. The buffer
utilisation of radiators can be improved conside-
rably with very finely adjustable thermostat valves
(Kv less than 0.35).
With a fresh water module, the hot water supply
can be integrated in the buffer to save space, and
solar can also be integrated in the buffer very
simply and effectively.
