Size of storage area
The storage area should be able to hold approximately ½ the annual
requirement. The exact amount of required space depends on the
system's heating load.
Rule of thumb formula: 1ft³ of pellet storage space per 100 Btu’s of
boiler heating load.
Sloping floor
The under-floor structure should be dimensioned so that the sloping
floor is not deformed when subjected to static load. You should ensure
that the pellets can slide down smoothly. This means the sloped floor
should be at an angle of at least 45° and have a smooth surface (we
recommend laminate).
When planning the under-floor structure, note:
1ft³ of pellets weighs approximately 41 lbs (1 m³ of pellets weighs
approximately 650 kg).
Ideally the suction probes should already be fitted before the sloped floor is
constructed.
A distance of 8” (20 cm) should be maintained between the cross-pieces
and the suction probe should be centrally positioned. (see Fig. 1)
The weight of the pellets must not all bear on the trough! (see Fig. 2)
Impact cushion
The impact cushion is made of rubber and should be positioned opposite
the filler pipes at least 8” (20 cm) from the wall. It prevents pellets from
striking the wall and knocking off pieces of the finish when filling.
Pieces of the finish, screws, and other foreign objects can clog the suction
probe!
WARNING! Damage caused by foreign objects is not covered by the
warrantee!
In time pellets leave dust on the ground; this can impair the process of
moving them from the storage area.
Check the storage area before re-filling and clean if necessary.
Regular complete emptying and cleaning of the storage area ensures
consistent readiness for operation!
