Technical Features
Boiler operation description
For BM type boilers (Page 8, Figure A), the fuel descends by gravity from the intermediate hopper into the upper feeding auger, where it is pushed into the rotary valve (optional) or directly into the stoker auger.
For BMC type boilers (Page 8, Figure B), the fuel is extracted from the intermediate hopper by means of motorized agitator that convey it to the upper feeding auger.
The rotary valve has a double function. On one hand, it doses the fuel towards the stoker auger while, on the
other it breaks fuel continuity between the two feeding screws, thereby preventing fume back flow and flames
that could reach the intermediate hopper.
The rotation speed of the lower feeding screw determines the correct brazier feeding and is therefore an essential element for the correct operation of the boiler.
The fuel contained in the firebox is burnt through the primary and secondary air input.
The heat that develops in the combustion chamber is conveyed in the interspace full of water through the steel
walls of the boiler.
The hot fumes pass from the combustion chamber through the central tube and, by means of the hollow space
in the upper door, cross the tube nest and are finally expelled in the fume pipe fitting, making those three flue
passes that are the distinctive mark of this type of boiler.
Optimal combustion control is obtained adjusting the primary and secondary air and the amount of fuel. Combustion quality can be verified either visually or by means of smoke analyzers.

Installation
General installation requirements
The electrical and hydronic installation of the boiler and any other assistance or maintenance operation must
be carried out by a certified and approved Northwest Manufacturing, Inc. Dealer or installer.
Installer requirements. (by state)
The creation of central heating or hot water production plants based on boilers as those described in this
manual, is regulated by different regulations in the various states therefore, the installer must refer to the local
regulations in force.
Flue and draught
The flue is one of the most important elements for a correct boiler operation. In general, a good draught is
obtained when the flue is thermally insulated, designed with a double wall and insulated to prevent the fumes
from cooling, thus maintaining the pressure difference that allows the fumes to go up the flue to the external
outlet. We recommend using stainless steel for the parts in contact with the fumes in order to prevent acid
condensation due to the features of the used fuel. The surrounding structures may affect the correct operation
of the flue: e.g., the distance and height of nearby buildings.
An excessive draught will reduce the boiler efficiency: part of the combustion gas is sucked in the flue together
with the fuel particles before being fully burnt, thus increasing fuel consumption.
A poor draught, on the other hand, reduces the boiler efficiency causing fume and carbon monoxide back flow.
If boiler is not equipped with a draft fan the flue section must have the same diameter as the fume pipe fitting (Page 10 Pos. 20 - Page 11 Pos. 18). Narrower sections are not allowed. Moreover, its weight must not lay
on the fume pipe fitting in order to prevent collapses in the structure of the boiler. Figure P on the next page
shows how to install it correctly. The flue must be sized according to the boiler section and the firebox power
supply by qualified personnel. For boilers connected in parallel, each boiler must have its own flue.
Due to the various installation places, during normal operation, the flue section and height must guarantee a
minimum draught of –20 Pa measured by applying a 1/4” hose connection to the manifold located on the side
of lower door inspection window as in figure N and by inserting a rubber pipe connected to a deprimometer
(Tables on pages 12 & 13) indicate maximum draught values.
Should you not be able to obtain a sufficient draught, we recommend installing an electric fan for forced
draught on top of the flue as in figure M.
A chimney cover on top of the stack is recommended to keep out moisture and debris. Fig O \
