ATMOS DC 150 S

Product detailed description

-150kW ecological wood gasification boiler – WOOD GAS with an exhaust fan and a cooling loop 

It is designed for burning wood on the principle of generator gasification using an exhaust fan (S), which extracts flue gases from the boiler. 
The boiler body is made as a welded construction of high-quality steel sheets with a thickness of 3 to 8 mm. It consists of a fuel hopper (6mm), 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 shapes for ideal combustion of all combustible substances with high efficiency in ecologically friendly combustion. At the rear part of the boiler body there is a vertical flue gas duct, which is equipped at the top with a starting damper. The upper part of the flue gas duct is equipped with an exhaust neck for connection to the chimney.

Frequently asked questions

• How to choose the correct output for a solid fuel boiler? Base your choice on the calculated heat loss of the heated building; however, for wood/coal boilers also consider that the boiler burns for several hours per filling at essentially constant output - therefore it is common practice to supplement the boiler with a buffer (accumulation) tank, which stores excess heat for later use instead of the boiler having to be inefficiently throttled down.
• What else do I need to install this boiler? In addition to the boiler itself, the system usually requires: a buffer (accumulation) tank of adequate volume, a circulation pump (often already with a built-in Laddomat or thermoregulatory valve against low-temperature corrosion of the boiler), a safety valve, an expansion vessel, and a flue/chimney with sufficient draught corresponding to the boiler output - exact draught values can be found 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 split wood of a defined length and moisture, or brown coal briquettes or coal depending on the boiler type) - unsuitable or too damp fuel reduces efficiency, increases tar and deposit formation, 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 case of fire may also be disputed.
• How much maintenance does the boiler require? This usually includes regular removal of ash and cleaning of heating surfaces/flue gas paths from soot (interval depending on usage intensity, usually in the order 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 performed, or at least professionally checked, by a heating technician - this is a device with open flame, high temperatures, and pressure elements, where a connection error can be a safety risk.
