HEATING BOILERS: Astra G-50E, Astra G-80E

These solid fuel boilers are intended to be fully loaded during the operation; the most efficient mode of their exploitation is at the 

nominal or maximum heat output. It is advisable to install an accumulation tank of sufficient size in their proximity, which could 
accumulate the excessive heat. If the boiler is operated without the accumulation tank, its lifetime can be shortened because, in 
such a case, a relatively low temperature of the outflowing water is maintained in the boiler (65-70°C). Therefore, the temperature 
of the water returning to the boiler from the heating system is as low as 55-60°C. More water vapour condenses in the boiler at such 
operating temperatures, more tar accumulates on the internal walls of the boiler and metal corrosion intensifies. When operating 
the boiler with an accumulation tank, it is possible and advisable to maintain constantly maximum temperature of outflowing and 
returning water, respectively 85°C and 70°C, then condensation of water vapour and metal corrosion will be significantly lower. 
Recommended capacity of the accumulation tank is approximately 50 litres per 1 kW of nominal power of boiler:

 The boiler is to be operated only with an emergency cooling system installed!

A thermostatic safety temperature limiter 95°C valve (Fig. 4) 

protects the boiler form the overheating. If the water temperature 
in the boiler exceeds 95°C, the valve automatically opens the flow 
of cold water from the public water supply network through the 
cooling serpentine, where it absorbs the excessive heat energy and 
flows out into the sewage. The sensor of the valve with the external 
thread ½” is screwed onto the socket on the rear wall of the boiler.

Technical data of the thermostatic safety valve are the 

following: Opening temperature - 95°C; Maximum operating 
temperature- 110°C; Operating pressure - 10 bar; Bulb of the 
sensor - L=142 mm, external thread ½“.

 The emergency cooling system protecting the 

boiler from overheating cannot be used for heating 

domestic water.

The house heating system with an accumulation tank could be 

divided functionally into two circles: heat production and heat 

consumption. Both circles operate independently and interact in the accumulation tank. The heat production circle consists 
of a boiler, Laddomat 21 thermostatic mixing unit with a circulation pump installed in it, expansion vessel, fittings and 
accumulation tank. The intended use of this circle is to charge the accumulation tank only. To charge the tank, the boiler could 
operate on its maximum heat output and outflowing water temperature 85°C. That mode of boiler operation is optimal for 
the boiler and combustion process itself.
