The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
The Robus Biopel range of boilers listed below has been recommended as suitable for use in
smoke control areas. The recommended fuel for the boiler is 6mm or 8mm diameter wood
pellets to EN 14961 Part 2 class A1 wood pellets only.

Robus Biopel 20
Robus Biopel 30
Robus Biopel 40
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the
authority to be a smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building,
from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if located in a designated smoke control area. It is also an
offence to acquire an "unauthorised fuel" for use within a smoke control area unless it is used in
an "exempt" appliance ("exempted" from the controls which generally apply in the smoke control
area).
!
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers under the Act to
authorise smokeless fuels or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in England. In
Scotland and Wales this power rests with Ministers in the devolved administrations for those
countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, applies in Northern
Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt or obtained for use in smoke control areas
have been "authorised" in Regulations and that appliances used to burn solid fuel in those areas
(other than "authorised" fuels) have been exempted by an Order made and signed by the
Secretary of State or Minister in the devolved administrations.

Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including designation
and supervision of smoke control areas and you can contact them for details of Clean Air Act
requirements”
Fuel and warranty
The Robus Biopel pellet boilers are designed for use with EN-plus A grade wood pellets only. The
use of substandard fuels will compromise the efficiency, reduce the life span and invalidate the
warranty of the appliance.
What is EN-Plus?
!
EN-Plus is the European Quality Standard for the manufacture and supply of wood pellets.
Manufacturers and Distributors who have the EN-Plus standard have been certified as meeting the
required quality standards and they are entitled to display the EN-Plus logo and their own unique
License Number.
General installation guidelines
1. The boiler must only be installed by qualified engineers. Installer product training is
available at Robus Energy Ltd.
2. All local building regulations must be observed (downloads available from the Robus
Energy website).
3. The boiler must not be installed on combustible surfaces.
4. The chimney and ventilation system must be fit for purpose and installed in accordance
with Approved Document J (Combustion appliances and fuel storage systems).
5. Chimney draft should be between a minimum of 5 PA and a maximum of 23PA and be
stable. Overpressure must not occur as this will cause inefficient boiler operation and a
lack of control of the boiler temperature. It may be necessary to install a draft stabilizer.

Installation of the burner
Installing the burner on the boiler:
1. Check that the burner is not damaged during transport.
2. Check that the burning grate is inserted correctly in the burner (see image below).
3. Mount the burner and tighten the burner with the two wing nuts supplied. Never use
locknuts, as the seal between the boiler and the burner can leak over time.
4. Make sure that the burner is horizontal and that all connections are tight.
Burner description:
The main parts of the burner are the fan, internal auger/auger motor, burner grate, fire sensor
and igniter. The external auger (in the hopper) drops pellets down the drop shaft where they are
moved on to the burner grate by the internal auger. The fan ensures a supply of air to the grate
for clean combustion. The igniter provides the heat for the automatic ignition of pellets. The
grate is removable for easy cleaning. Fire sensor detects the light of flame. When the fire sensor
detects the light during ignition process, the control unit switch off the igniter and the boiler
starts normal operation mode (PID work). There are different sizes of Biopel pellet burner (10 –
200 kW) but main function is always the same.
Drop shaft: new pellets are fed in to the burner.
Internal auger: moves pellets on to the grate
Mounting holes: these holes are for connecting burner onto the boiler
flange.
Ignition outlet: hot air comes from this hole during ignition phase.
Grate: there are several types of burner grate depending on
burner size/output. Combustion air comes from to these holes.
Biopel burner
First check proper position of the grate (see picture) and then place
burner into the boiler flange. On all Biopel boilers you can choose left
or right side of the boiler for burner installation. However the opposite
flange on the boiler bust be always sealed.
For example if you choose left flange for burner connection make sure
that right flange is properly sealed. Burner is fitted on the boiler flange
using the 2 M8 studs and wing-nuts supplied in the ashpan.
Burner grate locked in Burner blanking plate
Burner mounting flange Burner M8 studs
Insert burner into the burner flange and secure with wing
nuts.
Connect burner pipe into the hole located on the top
of the burner and secure with 2 x burner pipe
screws.
Attach PVC tube on the burner pipe and from the other side on
the external auger outlet. You can cut the PVC tube if
necessary. Pellets must drop from the external auger outlet into
the burner without obstructing PVC tube.
Plumbing schematics
The use of a buffer tank or thermal store will prevent frequent ignition of the
boiler and will prolong the life of the igniter. The min buffer/thermal store
capacity should be;
10 litres/kW output (eg. 200 litres for Biopel 20)
The load valve, supplied with the boiler, must be installed in the boiler return pipe
work as shown in the diagram above
Biopel V8 controller
The V8 controller has two different mounting options depending on the type of pellet
hopper chosen
With Compact hopper With external/bulk silo
The V8 controller comprises of two main components:
1. Controller screen
2. Connection board
All interconnecting cables between the screen and connection board are pre-
wired with simple plugs to allow for quick installation.
When using the Compact type hopper the connection board can be fixed to the
sloping wall of the hopper near the burner with the screws and bracket supplied.
Boiler temperature sensor, flue temperature sensor, over heat sensor, pump supply
and incoming power supply can all be routed through the cable duct in the hopper
lid.
Ensure the temperature sensors are secured into the pocket on the flow
connection of the boiler.
