FOB Destination delivery to: 184 Clark Point Road, Southwest Harbor ME 04679 USCG SFO SOUTHWEST HARBOR ITEM 1 - PELLET BOILER WITH DIRECT SOLAR THERMAL INTEGRATION REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS: Volumes, pressure and temperature Tank volume 630 litres Maximum operating pressure 1.5 bar Normal working temperature 75 - 80 ºC Maximum temperature 100 ºC Maximum power 25 kW Materials Hot water loops 2, D 22 mm 12 m (in series) Solar loop 1, D 18 mm 12 m Steel plate, furnace 6 mm Steel plate, tank 3 mm Insulation, moulded polyurethane 90 mm Dimensions and weights Height (floor/top of the insulation): 1840 mm Width/diameter exclusive of insulation: 750 mm Width/diameter including insulation: 930 mm Total depth of the furnace: 1230 mm Height floor-centre of smoke pipe: 1460 mm Smoke pipe dimension: 135 mm Smoke pipe connections: 5 Weight empty exclusive of burner: 300 kg Equipment Turbolators 4 Temperature meters 3 Electricity cartridge with indicator light 6 kW 1 Draught limiter 1 Ash box 1 Soot cleaning tools: 2 ITEM 2 - PELLET BURNER w/ AUGER REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS: Heating Effect (Supplied): 13 - 25 kW / 44,382 - 85,350 BTU Combustion Efficiency: Approximately 95% Combustion Air (Used): Approximately 30 - 40 m3 / h Power Supply: 120 V 60 Hz Electrical Effect (Ignition): 400 W Electrical Effect (Operation): 40 W Combustion Fan: Adjustable Fuses (2): 4 AMP 5mm x 20mm slow blow fuses Compatibility: Must be compatible with ITEM 1 Auger: Compatible with above specifications Dimensions: Burner (mounted in mounting flange) Outside The Boiler: Depth:..........................................15 - 3/8" / 38.99 cm Width:............................................8 - 7/8" / 22.50 cm Total height:.................................20 - 1/2" / 51.99 cm Combustion Chamber Tube in the Boiler: Length:..........................................4 - 1/2" / 11.51 cm Diameter:.......................................6 - 1/8" / 15.49 cm Combustion Chamber (recommended dimensions) Depth:..........................................13 - 5/8" / 34.49 cm Width:.................................................. 10" / 25.50 cm Height:................................................. 10" / 25.50 cm Burner must function as follows; Burner is meant to be installed in a boiler and fuelled with wood pellets. The supplied auger transports the fuel from a pellet hopper to the burner. The control box contains a microprocessor system that monitors and regulates the combustion. The supplied temperature sensor starts and stops the burner, automatically referencing the boiler temperature. A warm air element ignites the fuel. The start procedure is designed to create a quick and almost smoke free ignition. The burner starts automatically when the boiler temperature cools down to the set start temperature. It runs until the preset maximum boiler temperature (switch-off temperature) has been reached, e.g. 176 - 185º F / 80 - 85° C. When the boiler stops automatically, a short cooling-down and self cleaning period is initiated. The burner can be set for operation with four different start-stop differences, 50, 60, 70, or 80° F / 10, 15, 20, or 25° C. Power interruptions and disturbances are taken care of by the control system. After a power interruption, the present conditions are checked against the previous settings after which the burner restarts. When a disturbance occurs, the burner can be operated in an "Extra Safe Mode" or if there is a safety risk, the burner switches off. As an additional option, the control box may be configured to work as an accumulator regulator. This feature allows for longer run times. This feature is enabled when an optional second temperature sensor (not included) is installed in the accumulator to shut off when the accumulator preset temperature has been reached or when the boiler has reached 194º F / 90° C, whichever occurs first.

(To determine if the public has access to the compensation information, see the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission total compensation filings at http://www.sec.gov/answers/execomp.htm.) (d)(1) If the Contractor in the previous tax year had gross income, from all sources, under $300,000, the Contractor is exempt from the requirement to report subcontractor awards. (2) If a subcontractor in the previous tax year had gross income from all sources under $300,000, the Contractor does not need to report awards to that subcontractor.
