Thermo E+ 120/200/320

3 Assemblies and components

3.2

Wärmeübertrager

The heat exchanger (

Fig. 309

) transfers the heat genera-

ted by combustion to the coolant circulation system.

The heat exchanger of the Thermo E+ 120 is shorter than 
that of the Thermo E+ 200/320.

3.3

Combustion chamber

The combustion chamber (

Fig. 310

) is used for generation 

and combustion of the fuel air mixture. The generated hot 
exhaust gas heats the coolant flowing through the heat 
exchanger.

In the heaters are used different combustion chambers 
depending on the heating capacity class. They differ in 
length and the swirl plates (see figure below). 
The combustion chamber of the Thermo E + 120 has addi-
tional a thermal insulation. The combustion chambers are 
provided with an embossing of the identifier of the respec-
tive associated heater

ATTENTION:

The operation of the heater with a combustion cham-
ber of another heating capacity class is prohibited.
