This does not include buttery valves upstream of the expansion vessel.

► Route the discharge pipe of the buttery valve into a drain outlet.

– Make sure that a drain outlet and safety assembly is provided.

The safety assembly from the WOLF accessories range includes an integral 3 bar safety valve.

– A minimum ow rate prevents damage to the hot water heat exchanger as a result of overheating or

steam hammers. This is not required for ow temperatures < 80 °C.

– WOLF recommends using a sludge separator with a magnetite separator.

Deposits in the heating water heat exchanger may lead to boiling noises, a drop in performance or

faults. Using a sludge separator with a magnetite separator protects the heat generator and the high-

efciency pump against magnetic and non-magnetic contamination.

► Install a sludge separator with magnetite separator in the heating return to the heat generator.

– WOLF recommends using an air and microbubble separator.

Microbubbles can cause faults in the heating circuit. An air and microbubble separator is most effective

at the hottest point of the heating circuit.

► Install the air and microbubble separator in the heating ow of the heat generator.

Top-up water

The total amount of lling and top-up water over the life cycle of the heat generator must not exceed three

times the nominal volume of the heating system (oxygen ingress!). If a system requires large volumes of

top-up water (e.g. more than 10 % of the system volume per year), the cause must be sought immediately

and the fault remedied.

4.4.1 Suction line in the single line system

i

Two-line systems must be converted to single line systems.

These older systems are no longer considered state-of-the-art and lead to accelerated oil ageing

and the ingress of air into the oil.

Suitable materials

Use suitable materials for oil lines. In the case of copper pipes, only metallic cutting ring ttings with

support sleeves are permissible. They are a reliable means of preventing air intake.

Max. line lengths

The maximum possible suction line length results from the pressure losses on the pipes and ttings and

the inlet height. The line length includes all vertical and horizontal pipes. The maximum suction line length

recommended by WOLF is 40 m.

Table 4.5 Calculation of inlet height

If the suction height or the maximum suction line length for low-lying tanks is greater than indicated in

Table 4.5 Calculation of inlet height, an oil supply unit with an intermediate vessel is required in the

immediate vicinity of the heat generator. It must be possible to control the oil supply unit independently

of the heat exchanger, i.e. no signal pick-up on the heat generator for this purpose. When connecting a

feed pump in the supply line, the pressure must not exceed 0.5 bar. The oil supply from the intermediate

vessel is driven by the oil pump of the appliance.

Suction

Use oating or raised suction.

Floating suction is not permitted for underground oil tanks or for oil tanks for which a special draw-off

device is prescribed by the manufacturer.

Planning

3066501_201910 WOLF GmbH | 19

Permitted negative pressure

The maximum permitted negative pressure in the suction line is 0.3 bar.

Anti-lift valve

With negative pressure controlled anti-lift valves, the negative pressure on the inlet side is increased

considerably. The maximum permitted negative pressure is exceeded. Use an electromagnetically

controlled anti-lift valve to prevent a heat generator fault. This prevents the outgassing of the oil.

4.4.2 Fuel requirements

i

Use low sulphur fuel oil or bio-oil to protect the environment.

Requirement Explanation

Minimum temperature 5 °C, install trace heating to external tank if necessary

Permissible bio-oil

percentages

Up to 10% alternative share –B10– in accordance with DIN V 51603-6

Bio-oil quality EN 14213 at the time that the tank is lled

Bio-oils storage tank Written conrmation from the manufacturer specifying the maximum

permissible FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) proportion

Accessories, e.g. tank ttings, gaskets, lters and oil lines must also be

suitable.

Cleaning the bio-oil tank FAME acts as a solvent in the tank and the oil lines.

For this reason, clean the tank before lling with bio-oil.

Bio-oil storage Bio-oil is a natural product with a shorter shelf life than EL fuel oil.

Bio-oil must be stored at low temperatures (ambient temperature between 5°C

and 20°C) and protected from exposure to direct sunlight (in the case of plastic

tanks in particular).

Up-to-date information indicates that bio-oil should not be stored for longer than

one year.

Table 4.6 Fuel requirements

4.5 Condensate drain

If the condensate is fed directly into the on-site drain:

– Use a exible hose to connect the trap to the on-site drain. Make sure that the incline is sufcient

(drainage height of condensate from trap 260 mm)

– Use a condensate pump if this incline cannot be achieved.

– Make sure that the ventilation is sufcient to avoid the drain pipe affecting the heat generator.

Sulphur content of fuel oil Neutralisation of the condensate

> 50 mg/kg Required

< 50 mg/kg This can be omitted after discussing the matter with the local water

authority

Table 4.7 Neutralisation of the condensate

If neutralisation of the condensate is omitted:

– The condensate may only be drained in drain lines in accordance with Code of Practice DWA-A251.

– Mix the condensate with sufcient domestic waste water (at least 20 times the volume of the expected

amount of condensate).

– If this is not possible, neutralisation is required.

4.6 Air/uegasrouting

For safety reasons, use only original WOLF ues and concentric balanced ue systems.

DANGER

4.6.1 Installationoftheair/uegaslines

Air/uegaslines-general

Discuss any installation questions, particular those relating to the installation of inspection covers and

vents, with the local ue gas inspector.

Route the air/ue gas lines over the heat generator in such a way that the displacement device can be

removed.

Minimum clearance above the heat generator:

– COB-2-15/-20/-29: 30 cm

– COB-2-40: 40 cm

Air/uegasroutingviaroof(typeC33x)

Routing air / ue gas above the roof is permitted under the following conditions:

– Heat generator is located in the attic.

– Heat generator is located in a room where the ceiling is also the roof.

– There is nothing above the ceiling but the roof structure.

If there is nothing above the ceiling but the roof structure, the following applies for the combustion air

supply and the ue from the top edge of the ceiling to the roof skin:

Fire resistance Measures

Required Clad any lines with non-combustible materials which also have this re resistance.

No specic

requirements

Lines must be laid in a shaft made of non-combustible rigid materials or a metal

conduit (mechanical protection).

Air/uegasroutingviashaft

If multiple oors are bridged by the lines for the combustion air supply and the ue, these lines must

be routed in a shaft outside of the installation room. If this is not done, there is no guarantee of any

mechanical protection. Fire resistance must be guaranteed for at least 90 minutes.

Air/uegasroutingviaexistingshaft

Cleaning and inspection not possible from the outlet.Make sure that the following clearance is maintained

between the cleaning and inspection opening in the shaft/channel and the front edge of the ue:

– 2 • diameter of ue

– Maximum 350 mm

► Provide sufcient cleaning and inspection apertures.

Ducts which were previously connected to an oil or solid fuel boiler must be cleaned by the chimney

sweep so that no dust remains. If the combustion air is drawn in via the shaft, the prior use can cause

odours in the boiler room.

Dust-free cleaning not possible:

► Use separate air supply.

Securingtheair/uegasroutingoutsideoftheshaft

WARNING

Risk of falling parts!

Physical injury and damage to objects.

► Lines must be secured with brackets every 150 cm.

Secure the air/ue gas routing or ue outside ducts with spacer pipe brackets to prevent the pipe joints

being pulled apart.

Minimum clearance of 50 cm:

– From the connection to the heat generator

– Before or after bends

Protection in winter

WARNING

Risk of water vapour becoming ice and falling off!

Physical injury and damage to objects.

► Use appropriate measures on site to mitigate this risk, e.g. installation of a suitable snow guard.

At low outside temperatures, the water vapour contained in the ue gas may condense and freeze on the

air/ue gas routing system.
