novinka Class 5 ecolabeling eco design

The boilers are designed for electronically controlled pellet combustion with automatic fuel ignition. The pellet burner is built into the front part of the boiler in the door of the lower combustion chamber. This chamber is lined with ceramic fittings for ideal flame burning with high efficiency and also serves as space for ash. In the rear part of the boiler there is a tube heat exchanger equipped with segment brakes with the function of rough (operational) cleaning without the need to remove them.

The boiler body is made as a weldment from steel sheets with a thickness of 3 – 5 mm. Externally thermally insulated with mineral felt and sibral insulation, inserted under the sheet metal covers of the outer casing of the boilers. In the upper part there is a fuel tank, from which the pellets are transported to the burner by means of a screw conveyor. Fuel metering is controlled completely automatically. In front of the boilers there is a panel with the main switch, pellet burner switch (L2) for cleaning, operating (boiler control) thermostat, safety thermostat, thermometer and 6.3 A fuse. DxxPX boilers are equipped with an exhaust fan (except D10PX). The boiler isn’t equipped with a cooling loop against overheating, because due to the small amount of fuel in the burner, there is no danger of the boiler overheating in case of blackout.

Instalation

The prescribed solution consists in the installation of the boiler with Laddomat 22, or a thermoregulation valve, which allows you to create a separated boiler and heating (primary and secondary) circuit to ensure the minimum temperature of return water to the boiler of 65 °C. The higher the return water temperature is, the lower you will keep condensation of tar and acids that are harmful for the boiler body.

We keep the outlet temperature of the boiler in the range of 80 – 90 °C and set the temperature of the water to the radiators or floor heating on the mixing three-way valve as needed (e.g. 30 – 80 °C).
Another variant is connection of the boiler with a three-way mixing valve with an actuator controlled from the electronic controler (e.g. ACD 03, ACD 04) to keep minimum temperature of the water returning to the boiler (65 – 75 °C).

We recommend you to always connect the D10PX, D15PX, D20PX and D25PX boilers with an buffer tank with the volume of 500 to 1000 l. When connecting the boiler with the buffer (accumulation) tank, the boiler is controlled best according two TS and TV sensors located on the tank. To control the burner according two temperatures on the buffer (accumulation) tank it is necesary to place two KTF 20 sensors (TV and TS sensors) on this tank.

 

Boilers regulation

The boilers are supplied to consumers with the basic control output of the boiler, which meets the requirements for heating comfort and safety. The regulation ensures the required initial temperature of the boiler water (80 – 90 °C). The boilers are insulated with a connector for connecting pumps in the boiler circuit and functions for its control directly from the ATMOS A25 burner control.

DxxPX boilers are factory-fitted with TK boiler temperature and TSV flue gas temperature sensors. TK sensor inserted in the boiler sump, TSV flue gas sensor built into the boiler flue, all together connected directly to the burner connector. The ATMOS A25 pellet burner directly controls the boiler exhaust fan (reserve R) and the pump in the boiler circuit (reserve R2). Output R2 is factory-fitted with a thermostat for the pump in the TC70 °C boiler circuit.

With the recommended connection of the boiler with a buffer tank, the boiler is best controlled according to two TS and TV sensors located on the tank. Switching of pumps in the system circuit in this case is not dependent on the boiler temperature, therefore it is solved according to the potential needs of the system.

Panel composition:
Main switch, safety thermostat, thermometer, control thermostat and flue gas thermostat

Electromechanical control is the optimal solution for controlling the operation of the boiler (fan) in a simple way.
The design of the panel with standard regulation is the basic design for all manufactured boilers.

 

Equithermal regulation ACD 03

Each boiler can be equipped with a modern touch electronic control ATMOS ACD 03 for controlling the entire heating system depending on the outdoor temperature, room temperature and time. This regulation is able to control the boiler itself with a fan with many other functions.

 

 

Refuelling

The boiler is equipped with an integrated fuel reservior that must be refilled in the interval from 1 to 3 days.

If the alarm message ALARM PELLETS – REFILL PELLETS appears on the burner display, pellets must be added to the fuel tank. Open the tank cover in the top part of the boiler and add pellets. When the pellets are added, it is not necessary to pump the pellets to the conveyor! The boiler is equipped with a special function against its full emptying.

In the case that the refueling interval is too short for your needs, there is an option to extend the pellet resevoir. Extensions can be folded together. It is, however, necessary to buy additional compact stepstool for convenient refueling according to all valid safety regulations.
However, additional buying of the pneumatic pellet feeder ATMOS APS 150 SPX (D10PX) / ATMOS APS 250 SPX (D15PX and D20PX) / ATMOS APS 250 SPX2 (D25PX) for convenient automatic refueling from any silo, eg, for the whole season (textile silo, separate room), is the ideal solution.

Boiler cleaning

The burner and the boiler must be cleaned regularly and thoroughly once every 5 to 14 days depending on the quality of pellets and the output setting.

The boilers are able to burn only good quality white pellets from soft wood without bark ø 6 – 8 mm, lenght 10 – 25 mm with heating power 16 – 19 MJ.kg-1. Boilers are not able to burn pellets with high sintering in the burning chamber of the burner. In such case it is needed to clean the burning chamber once a day. The pellet burner ATMOS A25 can be equipped with pneumatic cleaning of the combustion chamber. It will be appreciated especially by those using lower quality pellets.

Comfortable ash removing – easy cleaning only from the front. Remove the ash from the whole cleaning chamber with the half-round ash pan (accessory of the boiler). Insert the ash pan into the boiler to the end, push the ash into the ashtray by thrusting it into the rear wall and remove the ashtray. Never leave the ash pan in the boiler!

DxxPX boilers are equpied with function of operation cleaning of the tube exchanger. Use the handle on the cleaning lid in the rear part of the boiler hidden under the cover for operation cleaning of the tube exchanger and decelerators. By repeated pulling out and releasing of the handle the ash is knocked out from the decelerators and the tube plate walls are scraped off.
