2 Safety systems for solid fuel feeder equipment
Taking a solid fuel feeder equipment through a fire-separating building element must not essentially weaken any
compartmentation (E1 7.4.1).
Guidelines on safety systems which prevent the spread of back fire from a boiler to a fuel storage through a fuel feeder
system are provided in the publications "Kiinteit polttoaineita kyttvt pienehkt lmpkeskukset, Ohje 2001" (Small
heating plants using solid fuels, Guidelines 2001) and "Pellettilmpkeskusten paloturvallisuus, Ohje 2002" (Fire safety
of pellet heating plants, Guidelines 2002) of the Federation of Finnish Insurance Companies (SVK). The guidelines of
SVK require that the equipment is also fitted with safety systems in cases where a boiler room and a fuel storage are in
the same fire compartment.
