ATMOS DC 22 S

Product detailed description

- 22 kW ecological wood gasification boiler – WOOD GAS with a flue gas extraction fan and a cooling loop

It is designed for burning wood on the principle of generator gasification using an extraction fan (S), which draws the flue gases out of the boiler.
The boiler body is made as a welded construction from quality steel sheets 3 to 8 mm thick. 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 afterburner chamber below it is fitted with ceramic mouldings for ideal combustion of all combustible substances with high efficiency and environmentally friendly burning. At the rear of the boiler body there is a vertical flue gas duct, which is fitted at the top with a starting damper. The upper part of the flue gas duct is fitted with an outlet 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 at essentially constant output during one fill - therefore it is common practice to add a buffer tank to the boiler, 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 (equalising) tank of appropriate 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 chimney 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 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 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), an inspection/cleaning of the chimney by an authorised chimney sweep is required by law - without the relevant inspection certificate, an insurance claim in the event of a fire may also be disputed.
• How much maintenance does the boiler require? This usually includes regular ash removal and cleaning of the heating surfaces/flue gas paths from 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 components should be carried out or at least professionally checked by a heating technician - this is a device with an open flame, high temperatures and pressurised components, where a connection error can pose a safety risk.
