limiter. The Ecomat burner can be assembled within a boiler which water heating
system is secured by an expansion vessel or within a boiler which includes a cooling
coil with a water valve.
Boiler with the burner assembled should be operated only by adults who are familiar
with operation manuals of both the boiler and the burner. Children are not allowed to
stay in the vicinity of the operating boiler without supervision of adults. Ash produced
during combustion should be removed into a non-combustible container with a lid.
2. General information.
2.1. Adjusting boiler and burner heating power to central heating and usable
warm water heating purposes.
In order to select the right burner for a boiler, it is necessary to determine the boiler
heating capacity. Generally, the burner should not have a greater heating capacity than
the boiler. Otherwise, when the boiler has a greater heating capacity than the burner,
the condensation of flue gases may occur and boiler corrosion can be intensified.
Therefore, it is a matter of principle that the Ecomat burner is connected to the boiler
of the same heating capacity or a capacity within a tolerance of 10%.
Approximate boiler heating capacity can be selected on the basis of a parameter which
refers to the cubic space of the rooms being heated. The parameter depends on the
building thermal insulation degree. In case of very good insulation degree, the heating
capacity of 40 W/m3 should be assumed. In case of building with poorer thermal
insulation degree, the coefficient should amount to about 60 W/m3. Another way
consists in calculating heat demand of a building as a total capacity of individual
heaters. In this case the heat demand should be increased by 20% in order to avoid
operating burner and boiler at maximum heating capacities.
Boiler heating capacities calculated for various cubic spaces of buildings, wall
insulation levels and types of applied fitting are listed in the schedule 1 to this manual.
