4.3 FIRE SAFETYIf the mechanical furnace is at rest for extended periods, withlow density of the solid fuel and high natural draught or, if thescrew is empty due to the difficulty of the material in fallingfrom the hopper outlet, there may be a slow return of flame tothe screw, with material burning against the direction ofmovement. To prevent this happening, two safety measuresare possible. As standard, a thermostat is fitted in contactwith the screw-holder tube to sense any over-temperature onthe screw (set to around 50-60 °C), which can be connectedto an audible or visual signal. An electrovalve, fitted as shownin the enclosed diagram, opens for a period controlled by thetimer, allowing the inlet of water from a line connected to themains. This moderate amount of water enters the screw-holdertube, extinguishing the material which is burning.For greater effectiveness, at the same time the feed screw isset in motion for a set time, re-mixing and spreading the wetmaterial, assisting the extinguishing of the source of the fireand removing such material from the hopper. Another timerstops the system for the time required for the screw-holdertube to cool down. If this time is not sufficient, the system willrepeat the cycle. The timer calibration times are indicated onthe wiring diagram. The items supplied include only the 1/2”coupling, welded in position on the screw-holder tube. Theelectrovalve, shut-off tap and connection to the water mainsare the responsibility of the installer.4.3.1 FIRE PREVENTION SYSTEM HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONDIAGRAMMAINS WATER SUPPLYØ 1/2” PIPEPRESSUREGAUGETAP1/2” NC ELECTROVALVE1/2” FILTER1/2” BALL TAPFig. 914
