is preferable to have a non-electric dump zone valve.
• A primary loop pump must feed all zones.
• Each boiler should be connected to the heating capacity which equals that of the boiler output.
• To protect the boiler against low-temperature corrosion the end-user should assure return temper-
ature does not reach lower than 120F. One way to do this is by installing a four-way mixing valve.
Installation
Orlan EKO boilers are designed to conform to and be installed in accordance with the stringent Euro-
pean regulations known as PN 87/B 02411 and PN 91/B-02413. When installed in the United States,
all applicable local codes and regulations should be observed.
Location, Location, Location
You will need to have adequate room around the boiler for installation, operation, cleaning and main-
tenance. You will need plenty of room for loading the boiler and emptying the ash bin and room to
use the cleaning tools provided. You also need adequate clearances from combustibles. The distance
between the boiler and the surrounding walls should be sufcient to allow access to all of the boiler’s
parts, as specied in the clearance diagram below. The boiler must be positioned to provide minimal
clearances from combustibles and surfaces: Left and right side = 18,” top, rear and front = 36.”
The boiler can be placed in a utility room, basement or outbuilding, along with wood storage. Putting
the boiler in an outside location is recommended for easy access to wood storage, and to keep the
mess and ame out of the house.
The boiler must be located on a level concrete oor or an other non-ammable surface. Wood gasi-
cation boilers are heavy; be sure to consider the weight when planning the installation.

Combustion Air
The boiler requires fresh air for combustion. It is critical not to starve the boiler of air, as the air supply
affects the quality of the burn as well as the strength of the chimney draft. If any fans are used in the
room where the boiler is located, they should be installed so as not to create negative pressure, i.e.,
they should not be pulling air from the room. Likewise, you do not want too much positive air pres-
sure, as it can cause the boiler to burn out of control. You may need to pull outdoor combustion air
into the room if there are backdrafts, insufcient draft or improper combustion, among other problems.
You can easily check this by opening a window or door to see if the problem goes away.
Install in accordance with Appendix G of CAN/CSA-B365-M91.
CAUTION: Do not store fuel within the
Boiler installation clearances or within the
space required for fueling, ash removal,
and other routine maintenance operations.
