What to Watch For on Hot Air Boilers

Pre-installation preparation, fuel and daily operating rules for YTPH, YTPH-K and YTMH hot air boilers.

Points to watch during use

  1. Clean the outer surfaces with warm water and soap.
  2. On liquid fuel boilers, refill the tank before it runs empty.
  3. Do not open the doors while the fire is burning, and do not leave them open.
  4. Do not put anything other than the recommended fuel into the hopper, and never remove the hopper screen.
  5. Wet coal and foreign objects such as bolts, screws and stones damage the stoker mechanism.
  6. Keep your hands away from the gearbox and auger while they are running, and never drop foreign objects in.
  7. On boilers with an agitator, do not start the gearbox at first lighting until the kindling has turned to embers.
  8. The fire must stay on top of the burner pot; a fire burning inside the pot melts the cast iron and the auger.
  9. On YTPH boilers the coal level in the hopper must stay at least 20 cm above the base.
  10. Follow the user manual and do not change settings without telling the service team.
  11. Do not load fuel into the boiler in sacks or bags that melt; they damage the grates and moving parts.
  12. Buy your fuel before you call the service team for commissioning.

Fuel

Fuel quality has a direct effect on efficiency, combustion quality, ash volume and cleaning intervals. Test a sample before you buy. Coal with a very high calorific value can damage cast iron and steel parts. Do not use coal dust, wet coal or coke.

Before the installation team arrives

  • Pouring the concrete base to the given dimensions, at a point agreed with Yağmur Teknik staff
  • Bringing in a three-phase (380 V) electricity supply
  • Having enough fuel on site for commissioning

Installation information

  • The unit must not be installed where it can come into contact with water or in very damp places, and outdoors it must be sheltered from rain and sun.
  • Choose a place where the unit can draw enough air for proper combustion and where it can be operated and serviced.
  • The installer must follow every instruction and warning in the manual.
  • Heating ducts that run outdoors must always be insulated.
  • The flue must rise above the building, connections must match the outlet dimensions of the unit, and the flue cross-section must not be reduced.
  • An earth connection is essential, and the unit must not be exposed to voltage fluctuations.
  • The boiler must sit level on a flat floor, on a plinth at least 25 cm high.
  • On YTPH boilers, leave room during installation so the gearbox and auger can be removed.
Closed expansion systems are not covered by the warranty. Systems fitted with a closed expansion tank are never covered by the warranty, and Yağmur Teknik cannot be held responsible for problems arising from them. The manufacturer also accepts no responsibility for damage caused by electrical or earthing connections that do not follow the rules.
