Specifications
CLEARANCES
The ECONOBURN™ Wood-Fired Boiler is to be installed in accordance with the National Building
Code or local regulations. Allowances front and rear must be made for cleaning and servicing.
Minimum safety clearances to combustibles are:
Front: 48”
Right Side: 18”
Left Side: 24”
Rear: 24”
Above Wood-Fired Boiler: 28”
Flue Pipe to combustible,
Boiler and electrical wiring: 18”
Floor: Non-Combustible
These clearances will also allow adequate
combustion air to reach the boiler.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Maintaining the proper temperature of the water in the boiler during operation is very important for
proper gasication to occur. The near boiler piping should be set up with a circulating loop (Fig. 2)
using the factory setting of 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Once this temperature is reached, this circu-
lator will turn off and the primary pump leads will energize.
At times, such as when there is a large call for heat, the return water temperature may become
too low. This can result in poor gasication and decreased efciency, as well as creosote buildup
in the gasication chamber, heat exchanger tubes and chimney. Low return water temperature can
also shorten the life of the boiler.
A mixing valve should be installed at the boiler outlet in such a way that supply water can be
mixed with return water before it enters the bottom of the boiler. Check with your dealer or installer
for details.
OVER TEMP RELAY
If the boiler reaches a high temperature during operation, (220 degrees Fahrenheit), the over temp
relay will energize, the red light on the controller will come on, and an audible alarm will sound.
This relay also energizes the 120 volt leads for a eld installed overtemp control which will be
piped in the system to consume excess BTU’s not required.
