1. Boiler’s use
Wood is the main fuel for the Eko-Vimar Orlański boilers. Lignite or minced coil could be an alter-
native fuel.
Wood at 15-20% humidity and length at about 5 cm smaller than the loading chamber should be
used as the main fuel (billet’s diameter - 15-25 cm - check „technical data”).
Some alternative fuel is acceptable:
- lignite as 10-15 cm diameter blocks
- wood at different quality parameters (humidity) and mince range (shavings, furniture waste
and so on) is acceptable as the mix for the main fuel (50%/50%).
NOTICE!
Using different than ordinary fuel doesn’t guarantee boiler’s right operating - as it
was featured in technical data and it can inuence the boiler’s way of working and its
long-lasting.
NOTICE!
Using different type of fuel that the main one (including alternative one) is treated as
wrong boiler’s using and its effects can not be the reason for any complaint to the
producer.
NOTICE!
Wood boiler should be installed in open system together with an expansion tank (it
assures boiler’s working with nominal pressure - look “technical data”).
NOTICE!
Wood boiler is equipped with a regulator which assures its working in right tempera-
ture’s range and protects the boiler against its overheating by fan’s turning on.
2. Procedure rule
Wood gasication boilers work in pirolitic wood distillation process. When the air is limited
wood changes into charcoal while burning up. In the same time wood gas appears, which next
relocates to burner’s nozzle and there it is burnt at the bottom part of the boiler. Such method of
wood burning allow for its effective using as fuel. Orlan boilers are made for burning wood billets
(use minced wood only as an addition - it should be mixed with bigger wood parts as not to allow
for burner’s nozzle littering).
