Operating instructions USEFUL SUGGESTIONS and LOADING ERRORS TO BE AVOIDED 6.5 - COMBUSTION AIR ADJUSTMENT PRIMARY AND SECONDARY AIR ADJUSTMENT - Logs too long do not fall down properly and can cause obstructions. The GASOGEN G3 25/ and 50 2S models are equipped with a fan control box for combustion air (pos. 1), with an air distributor, and with primary (pos. P) and secondary air adjusters. (pos. S). - Logs too short cause irregular air passages, with consequent reduction in output and efficiency.
Gasogen Operating instructions For correct air adjustment it will be necessary to observe the flame through the sight glass, placed on the lower door. The flame will have to occupy about two thirds of the combustion chamber, and will have to quietly lick the lower cradle, without moving the ash too much and without making any noise. The flame must be an orange-pink-white colour, not too transparent and with the centre part veering to light blue.
Operating instructions 6.7 - WARNINGS HOW TO AVOID CORROSION IN THE FIRE WOOD BOX The use of wood with a high moisture content (higher than about 25%) and/or loadings not proportioned to the system’s heat request (long OFF periods with the wood storage full) can cause considerable condensate formation in the fire box’s internal wall. Check, once a week, the internal steel walls of the fire box. They must be covered by a slight layer of opaque coloured, dry tar, with bubbles inclined to break and fall off.
Gasogen Operating instructions 6.9 - SERVICING Danger ! Before servicing the boiler, make sure the boiler and its components has cooled down. Warnings In this case: 1) Check the adjustment of the air setting, according to the instructions given in the paragraph “Combustion air adjustment”.
Operating instructions Every month Check that the by-pass is working correctly. The by-pass is a direct passage between the fire box and the chimney. It is normally closed by a mobile shutter. The by-pass is automatically opened or closed via a pushing rod when the loading door is opened. In this way the smoke accumulated in the firebox is aspirated and sent to the chimney directly.
