EVOLUTION SCWS BOILER STOVE
INSTALLATION & OPERATION MANUAL
Thank You
May we take this opportunity to thank you for choosing an eVolution wood burning boiler stove. Please take time to read this manual and follow the guidelines on how to operate your new stove, as we feel sure it will enable you to use it to its best advantage for many years. The installer will need to read this documentation also, before any work is started.
This appliance is designed to burn wood logs only. The air controls on the appliance allow the chosen fuel to burn efficiently. On an open fire, the conditions required to allow wood or other fuels to burn affect the efficiency, sending more than 60% of the heat produced straight up into the chimney. The efficiency figures for our stoves are much higher, as there is far greater control over the combustion air entering and leaving the appliance.
Choosing the Correct Appliance
It is essential that you size the boiler correctly for your heating requirements. It is essential that you employ the services of an experienced heating engineer to calculate the heat demand you have, and that s/he, in turn, calculate the size of boiler stove that would be most suitable for you application. An incorrectly sized boiler is the most common factor when problems arise with use of these types of products.
Installing the Appliance
IT IS A LEGAL REQUIREMENT UNDER ENGLAND AND WALES BUILDING REGULATIONS THAT THE INSTALLATION OF THE STOVE IS EITHER CARRIED OUT UNDER LOCAL AUTHORITY BUILDING CONTROL APPROVAL OR IS INSTALLED BY A COMPETENT PERSON REGISTERED WITH A GOVERNMENT‐APPROVED COMPETENT PERSONS SCHEME. HETAS LTD OPERATES SUCH A SCHEME AND A LISTING OF REGISTERED COMPETENT PERSONS CAN BE FOUND ON THEIR WEBSITE AT WWW.HETAS.CO.UK. IT IS A FURTHER CONDITION OF YOUR WARRANTY THAT YOUR BROSELEY STOVE MUST BE INSTALLED BY A CERTIFIED HEATING ENGINEER. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS REQUIREMENT WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
IF CONNECTED TO A SEALED HEATING SYSTEM, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE INSTALLED BY A COMPETENT PERSON QUALIFIED TO INSTALL PRESSURISED SYSTEMS AND WHO HAS ATTENDED A BROSELEY FIRES TRAINING COURSE ON THE SCWS SYSTEM.
We recommend that you seek the services of an installer who is conversant with stove installations and Building Regulations. It is most likely that the shop where you purchased the stove will be able to help in this respect. It is our general policy to supply specialist Fireplace shops. These shops can offer an after sales service and will be able to offer advice when necessary.

Health and safety precautions
Special care must be taken when installing the stove such that the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 are met.
Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling.
Fire Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. In case of contact, wash immediately with plenty of water.
Asbestos
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of installation then please seek specialist guidance and use appropriate protective equipment.
Metal Parts
When installing or servicing this stove, care should be taken to avoid the risk of personal injury.

USER GUIDE – READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING YOUR STOVE
Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the work and checks described in the Installation Instructions have been carried out correctly and that the chimney has been swept, is sound and free from any obstructions.
Do not light the fire before the boiler and heating system have been filled with water as this can damage the boiler.
Don’t attempt to light the fire if there is a risk that any part of the system is frozen.
CO Alarm
Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance. If the alarm sounds unexpectedly, follow the instructions given under “Warning Note” on page 7.
Fuels
The HETAS Ltd. appliance approval only covers the use of the following fuels in this appliance:
• Wood logs not exceeding 35cms in length.
Approval does not cover the use of other fuels either alone or mixed with the suitable fuels listed above, nor does it cover instructions for the use of other fuels.
Under NO circumstances burn ‘petroleum coke’ as it will burn out the internal grate and baffle plates in a very short period of time and may damage the stove beyond repair and you run the risk of your warranty being voided.
Burning Wood
Ensure that you use well‐seasoned wood, less than 20% moisture; this will give a good heat yield and help to keep the glass clean. A growing tree contains 50‐65% water. Burning unseasoned wood turns most of the energy released into water vapour which goes into the flue and substantially reduces the heat that is given off to the room. The moisture will combine with other combustion products forming a sticky surface and the risk of obstruction, or worse still a chimney fire, is greater. Wood logs are best stored in a stack, sheltered from the weather, in a well ventilated area and raised off the ground. This allows the air to circulate and prevents mildew.
5
eVo 26 Instructions MS10‐11
Control Layout
The air controls on the evolution boiler stove are controlled by a single control which works both as a thermostat to control the air for combustion and the air used for the air wash.
Control A
The thermostat control on the appliance is controlled by rotating the control clockwise to open and anticlockwise to close. The thermostat automatically controls the combustion air entering the appliance, relative to the temperature of the water in the boiler.
Control B
The slider control (control B) operates the air wash on the appliance. This air control operates a small amount of secondary air into the appliance but more importantly operates the air wash on the appliance. It does not mean that you will never have to clean the glass, but it does substantially lengthen the periods between having to do so. The secondary air control works best when burning dry wood at high temperature. Wet wood will produce more deposits on the glass. Also, deposits will form on the back of the glass when the stove is operated on low heat for extended periods.
Burning Wood Logs If you are only burning wood logs, you may allow a bed of ash to build up on top of the grate to a level of about 20mm, forming a flat surface on which the wood will burn. You should then use the thermostat control and the air wash control to maintain the burn rate. To fully open the combustion
A
B
6
eVo 26 Instructions MS10‐11
air, turn the knob clockwise, to fully open the air wash slide the slider to the left. The ‘fully open’ setting will produce the fastest burn, yielding most heat.
You will not have to clean out your stove after every firing as wood will burn better with a slight build up of ash in the ash pan. It is not advisable to burn painted or recovered wood (such as railway sleepers) as this contains harmful toxins or flammables which may cause the wood to ‘spit’.
Overnight burning is difficult to achieve with logs.
‘Curing’ the Stove
Before lighting the stove, check with the installer that the installation work and commissioning checks described in the installation instructions have been carried out correctly and that the chimney has been swept clean, is sound and free from any obstructions. The curing process may have been undertaken by your installer as part of the stove’s commissioning and handover and the installer should have shown you how to operate the stove correctly.
Your stove is made of a number of cast iron components and we recommended that the first burn should be a small fire lasting about 30 minutes. This enables the stresses and strains at the joints to be taken up and settle gradually. The second burn can be a larger fire lasting for about an hour. During the curing process, the stove will give off a pungent smell and some fumes. This is the paint ‘curing’ and is quite normal. Provide plenty of ventilation whilst this is happening since the fumes can be quite strong and may set off smoke alarms in the room. The paint may become slightly lighter in colour when the stove is cured, particularly in the hottest spots. Fire Grate polish can be used to keep the stove in good condition, or stove spray paint can be used to re‐touch the stove. The correct stove spray can be obtained from your stove stockist.
Starting and Maintaining the Fire
For safety reasons, do not use gasoline, lighter fluid, kerosene or other flammable liquids to start or rekindle the fire.
Build a fire directly on the grate with crumpled newspaper, kindling wood and/or commercially available “firelighters”. Do not allow single pieces of paper to float up the chimney, especially if alight. This is a common cause of chimney fires and can cause structural damage to the property. Ensure that the air control and the thermostat control are fully open to begin with and ensure that the thermostat control is on its highest setting. When the kindling is burning well, add larger pieces of wood. The stove will work more efficiently with the main door closed as you will be able to control the combustion air and the rate of fuel burning. It is not recommended to operate the stove with the fuel loading door open other than to load fuel, as this can lead to over‐firing and damage to your stove, which may void your warranty. When the appliance is a light, the loading door handle and the ash pan handle will become hot. Please use the glove provided to avoid touching hot parts.

eVo 26 Instructions MS10‐11
WARNING NOTE
Properly installed, operated and maintained, this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes may occur whilst de‐ashing and re‐fuelling. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, the following immediate actions should be taken:‐
a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room b) Let the fire go out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified
and corrected. If necessary seek expert advice
Operation of any of the stove safety systems
This stove is fitted with a number of safety systems; the operation of these will have been demonstrated by your installer. In summary these consist of:‐
Safety Cold Water System – SCWS
The SCWS prevents the boiler reaching boiling point (100°C). This works by transferring the heat in the boiler away through a quench coil situated inside the boiler. This quench coil is activated by a thermal safety valve (Watts STS20) which activates at 97°C. The Thermal valve needs to be connected to mains water and drained suitably through an outside wall.
If you suspect the SCWS is operating, create a heat demand by either turning up the room thermostat or running hot water at the kitchen tap. Reduce the settings of the air controls as described in the above sections on appliance control and/or discuss the matter with your installer if this happens frequently.
Never operate the stove without the water supply to this unit fully open and operational.
Pressure Relief Blow Off
The pressure relief acts as a final safety option in case of failure of the SCWS. This comprises a 3bar pressure relief valve, a pressure gauge and an automatic air vent.
If the pressure relief valve operates, shut down the appliance immediately. This means you need to close all the air controls and do not refuel the appliance.
DO NOT RELIGHT THE APPLIANCE UNTIL YOUR HEATING ENGINEER HAS RESOLVED THE PROBLEM.
Aerosol sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
Use of operating tools Always use the operating tools/glove provided when the stove is in use, as parts of the appliance will be hot.
8
eVo 26 Instructions MS10‐11
Chimney Fires
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur. However, if a chimney fire does occur turn all the air control settings to the closed position, and tightly close the doors of the stove. This should cause the chimney fire to go out, in which case the control should be kept at the minimum setting until the fire in the stove has gone out. The chimney and flueways should then be cleaned. If the chimney fire does not go out when the above action is taken then the fire brigade should be called immediately.
After a chimney fire, the chimney should be carefully examined for any damage. Expert advice should be sought if necessary
Cleaning the Stove and Summer Shutdown
Only clean the stove when it is cold. To clean the glass, either use an oven cleaning fluid or dip a wet cloth in the wood ash (not coal ash – this will scratch the glass) and gently rub clean.
The outside can be cleaned with a soft brush. Alternatively, use a lint free cloth, if necessary, but test an area first. Do not use abrasive cleaners as this will remove the paint and may leave a chalky deposit. Under no circumstances use a yellow duster as the fibres will stick to the rough surface of the stove and will produce a pungent odour next time the stove is used!
If the stove has a period of non‐use (eg over the summer), leave the primary and secondary air controls in the open position to allow ventilation through the stove.
Use of fireguard When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are present a fireguard must be used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002 (Replaces BS 6539), Fireguards for use with solid fuel appliances.
Periods of Prolonged Non‐Use If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given a thorough clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow of air through the appliance to reduce condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully open.

Trouble‐Shooting
1. Smoke comes out of the stove when the loading door is opened • The chimney cavity into which the 150mm flue pipe has been installed may be less than the
minimum requirement; seek advice from the installer to rectify this • Deposits (soot) may have built up in the chimney and be restricting the flow of waste
combustion products ‐ this flow rate is known as the ‘draw’; seek advice from your installer 2. The stove does not perform correctly
• Ensure that the flue pipe has been sealed to the chimney to prevent heat being drawn up the chimney
• Ensure the correct fuel is being burnt and that green or wet wood is not being burnt • Ensure whole logs are being burnt rather than small split logs • Ensure there is sufficient ‘draw’ in the chimney (this can be verified by your fitter) • Ensure that the “air‐tight” seal between the fibre rope on the doors and the casting is in
place; adjust door handle lock nuts to reinstate this seal if necessary • Ensure that the glass is sealed; if the glass is not sealed, gently tighten glass retaining clips ‐
do not over‐tighten as this will stress or break the glass • Check that the chimney does not have limited or excessive draw (this should have been
checked by your fitter on installation and commissioning) • If the stove has been recessed into the existing fireplace, some heat may be being absorbed
by the surrounding fireplace walls rather than being radiated into the room. Your installer should have ensured that the stove was correctly sited before commissioning the installation. For the maximum efficiency of heat transference into the room, the stove should be sited on the hearth of the fireplace rather than recessed.
• Ensure there is an air vent into the room • Ensure that there is no extractor fan fitted in the same room
3. Over‐Firing • If the appliance is over‐fired, it will cause premature failure to the internal parts of the
appliance. Over firing occurs when excessive heat is generated by the fuel being burnt, usually due to a lack of control of the fire. Over‐firing will void your warranty.
• Ensure the door seals are kept in good condition and that the doors are sealing correctly, replace the fibre rope door seals if necessary
• Ensure the air controls are functioning correctly by making sure they form a seal when closed. Also ensure that the thermostat control opens and closes automatically ‐ you may need your installer to check the function of the thermostat control
• Ensure that the correct fuel for the appliance is being used ie you are burning either dry seasoned wood or manufactured and natural smokeless fuels
4. Lack of Heat to Radiators/Hot Water • Is the fire burning properly? If not, carry out the checks listed above in the section ‘The
stove does not perform correctly’ • If there is a lack of hot water or the water goes cold when the pump is turned on, or if some
radiators are hotter than others the system may need to be ‘balanced’. The pump may be pumping water around your system too quickly or some or all of the radiators may need bleeding. Your installer can check on these points.
5. The safety systems are operating frequently The Safety Cold Water System – SCWS should not be operating frequently, if at all, and if this problem persists you should contact your installer to check the system and that the appliance is oversized for your system (see previous warning notes)

Installation Guide – For Use By the Qualified Installer Read These Instructions Carefully Before Installation
IMPORTANT WARNING
These instructions cover the basic principles to ensure the satisfactory installation of the stove, although detail may need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions. In all cases, the installation must comply with all current Building Regulations, Local Authority Byelaws and other specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of the stove. It should be noted that the Building Regulations requirements may be met by adopting the relevant recommendations given in British Standards BS EN 15287‐1:2007 design, installation and commissioning of chimneys. BS EN 14336:2004: Heating Systems in Buildings. Installation and commissioning of water based heating systems. BS EN 12828: 2003; Heating Systems in Buildings, design of water based heating systems. BS EN 12831: 2003; Heating Systems in Buildings, method for calculation of the design heat load. As applicable to the appliance.BS 6461 and BS 5449 are now superseded. It is essential that you seek the services of a registered engineer who is conversant with stove installations and Building Regulations. It is most likely that the shop where you purchased the stove will be able to help in this respect. It is our general policy to supply specialist Fireplace shops. These shops can offer an after sales service and will be able to offer advice when necessary.
If connected to an unvented heating system, this appliance must be installed by a competent person qualified to install pressurised systems and who has attended a Broseley Fires training course on the SCWS system, and must (as a minimum) have the following components installed on the system to ensure the safe operation of the appliance:‐
1) WATTS STS220 – Thermal discharge Valve (supplied) 2) WATTS KSG 30 – Safety Pressure Relief Valve (supplied) 3) Expansion Vessel comprising 7% of the total system volume (not supplied) 4) If connected in conjunction with a Gas Combination Boiler you will need a “Low Loss
Header” to link the boilers together; this will ensure that there is no conflict between the two boilers. The low loss header should be sized and provided by the heating engineer.
Stove Performance
In the UK, the stove has been approved by HETAS Ltd as an intermittent operating appliance for burning wood logs only.
The nominal heat outputs for the stove are as follows:
eVolution Boiler Wood Logs
Heat Output (To room) 10.1kW 34,481 BTU Heat Output (To Water) 15.8kW 53,941 BTU Flue Temperature 241°C Efficiency 77.9%
12
eVo 26 Instructions MS10‐11
Sizing the appliance It is essential that this appliance is correctly sized for the area it is required to heat. This should be done by carrying out a heat loss calculation for the property and taking into consideration the client’s requirements and preferences for the requirements of the heating system.
Hearth Requirements and Clearances
Your stove must be installed on a solid, level non‐combustible hearth and with a gap of at least 600mm from any combustible material such as beams or skirting. The hearth protrusion in front of the stove to carpets or wooden floors must be at least 300mm. As it is possible, on opening the door of the stove, for fuel to fall out, a fender must be fitted if the hearth is flush with the carpet. These are just a few hearth specifications. Please refer to Building Regulations Approved Document J (Hearths) for more specific details.
Minimum hearth thickness 12mm
Constructional hearth NOT required
PLEASE NOTE THE FIGURES ABOVE ARE DIRECTLY TAKEN FROM THE EN13240 TEST. HOWEVER PLEASE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT FOR MAINTENANCE PURPOSES IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT AT LEAST 200MM CLEARANCE IS AVAILABLE TO THE RIGHT (WHEN LOOKING AT STOVE) TO AID CLEANING THE TOP OF THE BOILER. SEE PAGE 9 PREVIOUS.

Additional Air
It is essential that the fire has adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation. Apertures provided for this purpose shall not be restricted. A permanent air entry opening or openings with a total free area of at least 550mm2 per kW of appliance rated output above 5Kw. If a flue draught stabiliser is used, extra ventilation will be required.
There must be no extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove ‐ as this can cause the stove to emit fumes into the room.
Chimney and Flue Requirements
The liner diameter must not be less than 6 inch (150mm) and no more than 9 by 9 inch (225mm by 225mm) square. It is most important that there is no obstruction in the flue. Sweep clean immediately before installation of the stove. If the chimney has previously been used for an open fire it is recommended that it be swept for a second time after the stove has been used for a month. As a closed appliance operates at a higher flue temperature, it is possible for deposits which previously adhered to now be dislodged, with the consequent risk of soot falls and flue blockage.
A flue draught of minimum 1.5mm (14.71 Pascals) to a maximum 2.5mm (24.52 Pascals) water gauge is required for satisfactory appliance performance. A properly built masonry or factory constructed chimney, preferably with a height of 5 metres or more, should ensure a consistent draught (draw) under a variety of weather conditions. The flue draught should be checked ‘under‐fire’ at high output and if it exceeds the recommended maximum, a draught stabiliser should be fitted to prevent over firing (see 5 below). This appliance must not be connected to a flue serving another heating appliance. A 150mm diameter flue may require this minimum height to be increased to 7.5m to ensure the correct flue draught is achieved on the appliance.
The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance with the provisions of Building Regulations Approved Document J.
If installation is into an existing chimney then the chimney must be sound and have no cracks or other faults which might allow fumes into the house. If there is any uncertainty, seek expert advice as remedial action should be taken. If it is found necessary to line the chimney then a flue liner suitable for manufactured or naturally occurring smokeless fuels and wood logs must be installed in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J.
If there is no existing chimney then either a prefabricated block chimney or a twin walled insulated stainless steel flue to BS 4543 can be used. These chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and Building Regulations.
Any bend in the chimney or connecting fluepipe should not exceed 45°. An easily accessible soot door (or doors) must be provided for sweeping the chimney and connecting fluepipe.

eVo 26 Instructions MS10‐11
Connection to Chimney Flue
A single wall metal fluepipe should be used for connecting the stove to the chimney, but this is not suitable for the complete chimney. This should be 6inch (150mm) diameter. A steel register plate is always recommended; if this is being used to connect the flue pipe to the base of an unlined chimney this should be fitted with a soot door to give easy access for flue cleaning. Alternatively, if the flue pipe connector is being fastened directly to the base of a flue liner the connector will require a soot door to give access for sweeping.
It should be noted that if the appliance is in a recess, moving it forward into the room will improve performance (see minimum clearances in section above); remember the 600mm clearance distance from combustible materials and the 300mm distance to the front of the hearth.
Soot Door
It is NOT possible to sweep through the appliance, so it is recommended that a soot door be placed in the initial length of flue pipe to ease the function of sweeping and maintenance of your chimney.
External Combustion Air Supply
In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely, there should be an adequate air supply into the room in which the stove is installed. This should be in accordance with Approved Document J. This is particularly necessary in modern houses, where draughts have been almost eliminated by double glazing etc.
This particular stove is fitted with an external air inlet. This inlet allows outside air to be drawn directly into the stove for combustion. The inlet is 100mm. Suitable flexible pipe should be used to distribute air from outside into the stove.
In either case there must be no extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove ‐ as this can cause the stove to emit fumes into the room.
Adding / Removing Cast Iron Parts
The eVo 26 boiler is a very heavy product. It is possible that the boiler section has arrived with the castings attached. This is for transport purposes only. If it is possible to install the completed stove as it is time must be taken to ensure all screws and bolts are fully assembled and tightened to ensure correct air seal. (It is possible that minimal bolts have been added for transport only).
The stove has been designed so that the castings are removable for ease of installation. To remove castings please follow the steps below. Once the boiler section is in situ please follow these instructions in reverse to reassemble the castings once more. Also as above ensure all bolts, screws and nuts are done up tightly forming a seal between the front casting and the boiler section.
Please note all internal parts are packed separately and should be added once the stove is in position with all castings added. This includes 4 x grates, vermiculite, glass and log retainer. Be sure not to over tighten the glass screws as this could result in the glass cracking.

WARNING NOTE Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes from de‐ashing and re‐fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate action should be taken:‐ (a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave the premises. (b) Let the fire go out. (c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required (d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and
corrected. If necessary seek expert advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is flue way or chimney blockage. For your own safety these must be kept clean at all times.

Expansion vessels
The boiler must be directly connected to the expansion vessel in the system using a pipe with a diameter no smaller than 18mm. The piping must not be obstructed in any way. The expansion vessel must be at least 7% of volume of the total heating system. The expansion vessel should be fitted on the suction side of the pump. The point at which it is fitted is generally accepted as being the neutral point of the system. An expansion vessel is divided into two compartments and separated by a flexible diaphragm. The sealed side is charged with nitrogen gas. The open side is connected to the system.
Sizing of an expansion vessel:
Sizing of an expansion vessel is very important as the expansion vessel must be large enough to accommodate all the expansion of the water.
i) The volume of water contained within the system. Manufacturers supply data which includes water capabilities of such things as boilers and heat emitters.
ii) Initial pressure of system, or pre‐pressurisation, calculated from the static height which is the vertical distance from the expansion vessel to the highest point.
iii) The boiler flow temperature. Should the volume fall between two sizes, the larger size must be used. The volume of the expansion vessel in litres fitted to a sealed system shall not be less than that given by the table below.

Alarms
It is not a requirement to fit an alarm on the system, but it is recommended. The alarm will act as a warning to the customer if the SCWS should operate. The alarm should be fitted to the SCWS discharge pipe and should register an increase in temperature when the SCWS is in operation. The customer should be notified that if this SCWS system/alarm is continually operating that measures should be taken to stop the overheating of the appliance. Measures to take are as follows: 1) Close all the air controls, including the tertiary and thermostatic air controls
2) Run hot water tap to remove some of the hot water in the cylinder (if fitted)
The customers should also be made aware that if there is constant operating of the SCWS, they should contact the installer to diagnose any problems with the system.
N.B. A boiler that is too large for the required heat load will trigger the SCWS too often and should therefore be replaced by a boiler that is better suited to the heating load.
It is mandatory to fit the safety components below when running a closed/pressurised system. Failure to install these components will void your guarantee and warranty, and risk a devastating explosion.

Plumbing the Appliance
Plumbing the Appliance – Open Vented
This installation should be in accordance with BS 5449:1990 ‐ Specification for forced circulation hot water central heating systems for domestic premises. It must include a gravity circuit with an expansion tank open to the atmosphere.
When installing this appliance on a gravity circuit, the system should consist of a tank/indirect cylinder fixed in an upright position and should be connected to the boiler by 28mm pipe (both flow and return). The pipes should not exceed 7.8m in length. The shorter the run of pipe work the more effective the appliance is going to be at heating the water. The cylinder and pipe work should be lagged to minimise the heat loss in the system.
A ‘heat‐leak’ radiator must be incorporated into the system to dissipate any excess heat produced from the boiler when connected demands are low. The heat leak radiator must be sized at a minimum of 10% the boiler output. Fit the heat leak radiator in the gravity circuit using 22mm pipe reducing to 15mm for no more than 300mm before the radiator.
When plumbing the appliance open vented you will need to cap the SCWS discharge pipe (D) but leave the SCWS flow uncapped (C) The SCWS probe hole will also need to be capped (E) as it is not needed.
Plumbing the appliance sealed/pressurised system
When installing the appliance on a closed/pressurised system the safety components mentioned previously MUST be installed. Failure to do this could have very serious consequences and will void your guarantee and warranty. We have given some examples at the back of this instruction manual on how the appliance can be installed in typical situations. These illustrations should be taken as a guide and not a definitive plumbing diagram. There is no requirement for a heat leak radiator on a closed system; we would however recommend installing one radiator that has no thermostat.
Link Up Systems
It is possible to link the eVolution stove to other boilers on a pressurised/closed system. This however can cause problems with ‘conflicts’ between the two boilers. Any solid fuel appliance with a boiler can be linked to an existing or new central heating system fired by another fuel or a second solid fuel appliance. This means that the central heating can be heated by one or both boilers in tandem, depending on the heat demand.
When linking two or more heat sources together on a sealed system there are a number of ways to do this, the easiest being via a low loss header.
A low loss header works on the same principals as a neutralizer on an open vented system. It is a simple method to connect two appliances at a neutral point in order that there is no hydraulic interaction between them. This means that the pumped circuit from a second appliance will not induce a flow through the solid fuel boiler.
23
eVo 26 Instructions MS10‐11
A thermal store can also act as a neutral point in a link system without the need for any additional devices.
The following pipe diameters are recommended:‐
kW Output (combined) Pipe Size (mm)
6 – 24 42
25 – 44 50
45 – 85 65
These outputs relate to the total output of the eVolution stove plus other boilers.
Timer control of a system with a woodburning boiler appliance
As wood burning appliances are not automated, and can therefore not be ignited, controlled and extinguished by electrical control from a heating programmer it needs to be borne in mind that any heat produced when the heating is not being called for must be able to be dissipated in order to negate unnecessary triggering of the safety devices.
The use of a thermostat on the low loss header that runs the CH pump (and opens the appropriate motorised valves) when there is heat to be distributed is therefore necessary. There should be provision made on the heating system to ensure that enough radiators (or under floor heating zones) are permanently open and NOT thermostatically controlled to allow at least 20% of the wood boilers nominal output.
In installations that only use a wood boiler and therefore have no low loss header a high limit stat should be fitted to the flow from the boiler, set to ensure that the open circuit can dissipate at least 20% of the nominal boiler output
Thermal Stores
An alternative way to link up different heat sources is through a Thermal Store; this can link many appliances together and offers the best storage solution for any hot water produced. Using a thermal store also allows for the option of linking in solar heating with your system if required. Broseley Fires have worked closely with and would recommend Rotex Heating Systems as a supplier of Thermal Stores and Solar Systems in the UK. Typical installation guides for link up systems can be found in the diagrams at the back of this instruction leaflet.
Checks on Initial Firing
Before connecting up the boiler, the installer must ensure that they thoroughly flush all of the system’s pipes in order to remove any residue which could compromise the correct operation of all
24
eVo 26 Instructions MS10‐11
system components (pumps, valves etc). It is also important to verify that the chimney has sufficient draught, there are no blockages and that no other appliance exhausts are inserted into the flue.
Inform the householder of the safety systems fitted to this stove. Explain the necessity to maintain the water supply to the SCWS (cooling loop).
Filling up the System
Once all connections are complete, the installer can proceed with the boiler connection. Open all the vent pipes of the radiators, the boiler and the system. Gradually open the load valve, ensuring that the air vent pipes are working correctly. Use the gauge to confirm the system is pressurised. With closed tank systems, a pressure of 0.11 – 0.12 MPa (1.1 – 1.2 bar) must be reached.
Maintenance/Servicing
When carrying out servicing of this appliance it is necessary to carry out the following checks on the safety components:‐
Watts STS20 – Valve
It is necessary to clean the valve to remove impurities and deposits before initial firing and during servicing of the installation. To activate the manual discharge and therefore the cleaning, press and hold the red button on the valve, this will allow water to flow through the valve removing the deposits.
Commission/Handover
Ensure loose parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions for “Assembly of Stove” given previously.
On completion of the installation, allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out; a small fire may then be lit and checked to ensure the smoke and fumes are taken from the stove up the chimney and emitted safely outdoors. Do not run at full output for at least 24 hours.
On completion of the installation and commissioning, ensure that this installation and operation manual for the stove is left with the customer. Ensure the customer is advised on the correct use of the appliance with the fuels likely to be used on the stove and warn them to use only the recommended fuels for the stove.
Advise the user what they should do if smoke or fumes be emitted from the stove. The customer should be warned to use a fireguard to BS 6539 in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons. Advise the user not to fit an extractor fan in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit fumes into the room.
