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, but for wood/coal boilers also consider that the boiler burns for several hours at essentially constant output during a single load - 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 (equalizing) 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 tank, and a flue/chimney with sufficient draft corresponding to the boiler output - you can find the exact chimney draft 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 split wood of a defined length and moisture, or brown coal briquettes or coal depending on the boiler type) - unsuitable or too 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), 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 could also be disputed.
• How much maintenance does the boiler require? This usually includes regular removal of ash and cleaning of heating surfaces/flue gas passages of soot (interval depending on intensity of use, 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 carried out or at least professionally checked by a heating technician - this is a device with an open flame, high temperatures, and pressure elements, where a connection error can be a safety risk.
