Advantages of wood gasification boilers ATMOS

  • Option to burn large pieces of wood
  • Large space for wood – long burning time – up to 12 hours, depending on boiler type
  • Tube heat exchanger
  • High efficiency over 90 % – primary and secondary air is preheated to a high temperature
  • Ceramic loading chamber – fuel pre-drying
  • Ceramic combustion chamber
  • Ecological burning – boiler class 5 – EN 303-5:2012, ECODESIGN 2015/1189
  • Exhaust fan – dust-free ash removal, smokeless boiler room
  • Cooling loop protecting against overheating – without risk of boiler damage
  • Automatic shutdown of the boiler after the fuel burns out – flue gas thermostat
  • Comfortable ash removing – large space for ash (when burning wood, clean it 1x / week)
  • Small size and low weight
  • Possibility of choosing a door R / L (right/left) for selected types
  • High quality

Installation

ATMOS boilers must be connected via the LADDOMAT 22 or thermoregulatory valve (three-way valve controlled with actuator) to achieve keeping the minimum temperature of water returning to boiler at 65 °C. 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).
The default configuration of all boilers includes a cooling circuit to prevent overheating. We recommend installing a boiler with accumulation tanks, which will reduce fuel consumption and increase heating comfort.

MODELS DCxxGD BOILERS ARE ONLY INTENDET FOR CONNECTION WITH ACCUMULATION TANKS OF SUFFICIENT CAPACITY WITH A MINIMUM OF 55 LITRES PER 1 kW OF INSTALLED BOILER OUTPUT.

Boilers regulation

Electromechanical regulation – boiler performance is regulated by an air regulating valve controlled by a draft regulator, FR 124 type, which automatically opens or closes the air valve according to the set water outlet temperature (80 – 90 °C). In addition to performance regulation, the draft regulator helps protect the boiler against overheating. Its advantage is a quick ignition and firing up to the required output when the air valve is fully open. The boilers are equipped with a control thermostat on the instrument panel, which controls the exhaust fan according to the set water outlet temperature (80 – 85 °C) and a flue gas thermostat, which is used to shut down the boiler and turn off the exhaust fan after the fuel has burned out. In the case of connecting a boiler with accumulation tanks, the flue gas thermostat also controls the operation of the pump in the boiler circuit.

The advantage of regulation and design of ATMOS boilers is that the boilers work with a good chimney draft up to 70 % of the nominal power even without a fan.

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.

 

Equithermal regulation ACD 04

The boilers DC18GD, DC25GD and DC30GD can be ordered from the factory with built-in ATMOS ACD 04 touch screen control only with with combination with Automatic wood ignition (AIW).The boilers are factory-equipped with all the necessary sensors for connecting the boiler and the heating system, including the flue gas temperature sensor (AGF). This unit is designed for comfortable control of the hot water system of the heated building. The controller contains functions for direct control of the boiler, boiler circuit, three heating circuits, domestic hot water, solar, etc.

Automatic wood ignition

Automatic wood ignition is used for the planned ignition of the boiler, eg before the arrival home in the afternoon or before arrival at the cottage. Ignition of the fuel is very fast (approx. 5 minutes) and allows the boiler operator to arrive “into the heat”. Fuel ignition can be set and scheduled to control ATMOS ACD 04 according to time (weekly program), according to the requirements of the heating system or according to the temperature in the Accumulation tank.

A device for automatic wood ignition is built in between the upper and lower doors (a chamber with a heating spiral). High-quality wood pellets are used for ignition, which are used to fill the ignition chamber. The amount of pellets corresponds to the size of the shovel that is included in the delivery of the boiler.
The pellets are ignited at the set moment using an electric heating spiral (500 W).
