Vitoflex 300-UF Technical Data

 Boiler Description

Description

The Vitoflex 300-UF Grate Firing System (patent no: EP 

0 905 442 B1) was developed for automatic combustion 

of all dry to moist wood fuels (remnant wood, pellets and 

forest wood chips to max. W50, (see section “Wood Fuel 

Requirements”) and combines the benefits of underfeed 

firing with the benefits of grate firing.

The Vitoflex 300-UF Grate Firing System is characterized 

by highest efficiencies and perfect combustion in all load 

stages. The Vitoflex 300-UF Boiler Plant has been built to 

ASME Sec. IV and has CRN for Canada. It is tested and 

approved to the applicable CSA / UL safety standards.

Function:
-   The solid, powerful and heat-resistant in-feed auger  

   moves the fuel into the burner trough and onto the  

   descending and moving grate zone. An electrical and  

   mechanical temperature sensor to operate the    

   thermostatic valve for extinguishing assembly are  

   located on the in-feed auger. Above the auger is the  

   metering container with a light barrier for setting the  

   level of the fuel insulating layer.
-   The fuel is either ignited manually or automatically with 

   an automatic igniter (optional). The boiler features a  

   reliable burner trough, a descending grate and a moving  

   burn-out grate made from highly-refractory cast steel  

  [approx. 

b

 in. (12 mm)]. These items provide for  

   excellent performance control and highest safety  

   preventing back-burn in conjunction with an automatic  

   de-ashing assembly with ash container (optional) for the

    combustion chamber. The solid, horizontally positioned

    and large-volume combustion chamber has been

    optimized in terms of combustion, consists of a high- 

   quality refractory brick lining and has multiple layers of

    insulation for the lowest possible surface temperatures.  

   A variable speed primary air blower provides preheated  

   air to the combustion grates in the combustion chamber.
-   In the upper part of the combustion chamber, the  

   secondary air is blown into the gas space of the firing  

   system by variable speed blower via an encircling ring  

   with individually adjustable nozzles to achieve high

    turbulence. This mixes the fuel gases with fresh   

   secondary air to achieve perfect combustion and very  

  

low emissions.

   The combustion chamber door is solidly constructed,  

   air-cooled and very well insulated. The combustion  

   chamber door is equipped with solid double-jointed  

   hinges for easy maintenance. 

   The heat is transferred to the water in the horizontal  

   heat exchanger. The boiler is well insulated and    

   highly accessible through the heat exchanger door on  

   the front. A pneumatic cleaning system (optional) can  

   be installed at the insulated heat exchanger door.
-   The flue gas exhaust blower has been specially    

   designed for wood burning boilers and quiet operation.  

   The spring- suspended motor has a solid, heat-resistant  

   design with a heat dissipation hub. The blower housing  

   on the intake can be mounted radial by 360° and has a  

   variable rotation speed and a round blow-out nozzle.

   It is mounted directly on the flue gas cyclone.
