I have an EKO40, and I have the temperature set for 167. The boiler heats up without a problem, the fan shuts off. I return several hours later, and it is now 175-180. It remains there most of the day. The fan only seems to need to kick on
when a zone valve opens and the cooler water enters the boiler, but when it is idling, the temp is much higher than I have it set for. I checked the main air intakes, and they are set at 9mm, and the secondary intakes are also set at 3.5 turns,
just like the manual suggests. I will say that I am getting 17 hour burns out of a load of wood....that is nice....but it isn't burning very cleanly, I don't think. I have no thermal storage with the system, which stinks, but I don't have any room for tanks.
Any ideas why the temp continues to rise?
