WHY CLEAN THE BOILER
To ensure economical fuel consumption and achieve the declared power and thermal efficiency of the boiler, it is essential to keep the combustion chamber and convection channels properly clean. While using our central heating system correctly, we cannot prevent dirt inside the boiler, which is the heat source. Burning solid fuels causes soot and ash to deposit on the walls of the flue gas ducts. This, in turn, causes a decrease in the boiler's thermal power and an increase in fuel consumption. This is caused by reduced chimney draft and accelerated fuel combustion. Therefore, to prevent deterioration of the thermal properties of our boiler, we should not forget to clean it frequently.
In the boiler's combustion chamber, special attention should be paid to periodic cleaning of micro-gaps in the automatic grate plate.
Cleaning of convection channels, where volatile ashes settle, should be done systematically every 3 to 7 days, especially when using the boiler in "traditional grate" mode. An important issue is the frequency of cleaning the central heating boiler. If the fuel burned is coal or suitable quality wood, cleaning once every few weeks should suffice. However, if we burn coke, cleaning should be done significantly more often - once every 7 to 10 days. Additionally, once every few years, the boiler should be cleaned of so-called scale. For this, special solutions dissolving deposits are used (e.g., aqueous hydrochloric acid solution).
Tools equipped with the boiler are used for cleaning. Cleaning the boiler's convection channels is enabled by the front cleaning doors and the ignition-filling doors. Additionally, periodic cleaning of the air chamber located at the rear of the boiler, where dust falling from the automatic grate plate accumulates, should be performed. This cleaning is done through the side cleaning door.
Wire brushes or pokers are used for cleaning solid fuel boilers. Large boilers can be cleaned with compressed air. Cleaning is performed through the boiler's cleaning openings, remembering to keep the flue gas damper in the chimney pipe open. Boilers may have numerous such openings located in various places (top, side, or rear). Remaining ash is cleaned through the cleaning door at the bottom of the boiler with the help of a scraper. After finishing work, remember to hermetically close all cleaning openings.
Cleaning the chimney flue is also important for the proper operation of the boiler.
After the heating season ends or in other cases of planned boiler shutdown, the loaded portion of fuel should be burned out. After extinguishing the boiler and cooling it down, all residues of burned fuel should be removed from the grate and the entire boiler cleaned and maintained. Maintenance should include lubricating (with oil) the internal partitions of the combustion chamber and all moving parts. During the boiler's downtime, special care should be taken to protect the fuel feeding mechanism to the combustion chamber by lubricating the horizontal guides.
