ATMOS DC 15 GS

Product detailed description

- 15kW ecological wood gasification boiler – GENERATOR with ceramic lining, an exhaust fan and a cooling loop

– the Generator type is characterized by a special firebox, which is lined on both sides with ceramic shaped blocks, fitted at the bottom with openings for the supply of preheated primary air, a gasification nozzle with openings for the supply of secondary air, and a lower combustion chamber with a spherical ceramic space. It is designed for burning wood on the principle of generator gasification with the use of an exhaust fan (S), which draws the flue gases out of the boiler.

The boiler body is manufactured as a welded construction made of high-quality steel sheets 3 to 8 mm thick. It consists of a fuel hopper (6 mm), which is fitted at the bottom with a gasification nozzle with a longitudinal opening for the passage of flue gases and gases. The afterburning chamber below it is equipped with ceramic shaped blocks for the ideal burning of all combustible substances with high efficiency during environmentally friendly combustion. At the rear of the boiler body there is a vertical flue gas duct, which is fitted at the top with a lighting-up damper. The upper part of the flue gas duct is fitted with an exhaust neck for connection to the chimney.  

Frequently Asked Questions

• How to choose the right output for a solid fuel boiler? Base your choice on the calculated heat loss of the heated building, but with wood/coal boilers also consider that the boiler burns for several hours on one loading at essentially constant output - this is why it is common practice to add a buffer tank to the boiler, which stores the surplus heat for later use instead of the boiler having to be inefficiently damped down.
• What is a gasification boiler and how does it differ from a classic one? A gasification boiler burns wood in two stages - first, combustible gas (wood gas) is released by heat in the upper chamber, which is then burned together with supplied secondary air at a high temperature in the lower combustion chamber. The result is significantly higher efficiency and cleaner combustion (less tar and soot) compared to classic single-stage combustion in older boilers.
• What else do I need for the installation of this boiler? In addition to the boiler itself, the system usually requires: a buffer (equalizing) tank of appropriate volume, a circulation pump (often already with a built-in Laddomat or thermoregulatory valve against low-temperature boiler corrosion), a safety valve, an expansion vessel, and a flue/chimney with sufficient draught corresponding to the boiler output - you can find the exact chimney draught values in the technical parameters above.
• What fuel is suitable and what is not? Use only fuel recommended by the manufacturer for the given model (usually logs of a defined length and moisture content, or brown coal briquettes or coal depending on the boiler type) - unsuitable or excessively moist fuel reduces efficiency, increases the formation of tar and deposits, and can damage the boiler.
• What about chimney inspection and legislation? Before putting the boiler into operation, as well as regularly during its use (usually once a year for solid fuels), a chimney inspection/cleaning by an authorized chimney sweep is required by law - without the relevant inspection certificate, an insurance claim in the event of a fire may also be disputable.
• How much maintenance does the boiler require? This normally includes regular removal of ash and cleaning of heating surfaces/flue gas passages of soot (interval depending on intensity of use, usually a matter of weeks), and once a year a thorough inspection including seals and the chimney.
• Can I install the boiler myself? The actual placement and connection of the boiler to the heating system, chimney and safety elements should be carried out or at least professionally checked by a heating technician - this is a device with an open flame, high temperatures and pressurized components, where an error in connection can be a safety risk.
