INTRODUCTION AND DELIVERY
Kappa is a cast iron boiler for solid fuels which is constructed in advanced two pass horizontal flue gas
circulation principle. It is designed for hot water heating systems, therefore should not be used for direct
sanitary water supply. Kappa fires your fuel with very high water efficiency, saving on your fuel cost. As the
bottom grate of the boiler is water cooled, the boiler can maintain sufficient outlet water temperatures until
all fuel in the combustion chamber is consumed.
Your boiler can be used either in forced or natural water circulation systems thanks to its large waterways
inside the boiler and medium sized delivery and return connections. You can fire different solid fuels whose
specifications are given further in this manual. As calorific values of solid fuel types differ from each other,
the output power of the boiler will vary between a maximum and a minimum range specified.
Delivery term: Kappa is delivered in two packages
