4.3 Emissions measurement by chimney sweep or regulatory body
Various legal regulations stipulate that heating systems must be inspected
periodically. In Germany this is regulated by the First Federal Emissions Protection
Ordinance (BimSchV) in the last amended version, and in Austria by various state
laws.
The following minimum requirements must be met by the operator of the system for a
successful measurement:
❒
Thoroughly clean the boiler immediately before the measurement
❒ Only use fuels of high quality which meet the requirements as stipulated in the
boiler operating instructions (“Permitted fuels” chapter)
❒ Ensure that there is adequate heat consumption on the day of the measurement.
(e.g. storage tank must be able to take heat for the duration of the measurement)
4.3.1 Preparing for the measurement
❒ There must be a suitable measuring port in the straight flue gas pipe for the
measurement. The measuring port must be twice the flue gas pipe diameter away
from the last upstream bend.
➥ If the measuring port is not correctly positioned, the measuring result will be
distorted
❒
Ensure that there is enough combustion air
❒ Prepare adequate fuel
❒ Ensure that there is adequate heat dissipation
❒ Clean the boiler thoroughly for the emissions measurement
4.3.2 Emissions measurement by chimney sweep or regulatory body
Immediately before the start of the measurement:
❒ Activate “Chimney-sweep mode” in the quick menu
➥ The flue gas temperature and residual oxygen content should have stabilised
approximately 20 minutes after activation
➥ The display will indicate that the boiler is ready for measurement
4.4 Maintenance agreement / Customer service
NOTICE! We recommend a yearly inspection by Froling customer services or an
authorised partner (third party maintenance).
Regular maintenance and servicing by a heating specialist will ensure a long, trouble-
