Components
* This unit’s casing is made of top-quality carbon steel plate, with a thickness of
0.1 inches (5mm). Other parts of the unit use plates with thicknesses of 0.07,
0.09 and 0.11 inches (2mm, 2.5mm and 3mm). The other shell is made of 0.03
inches (1mm) thick galvanised plate and the ash grate of 0.47 inches (12mm)
thick plate;
* The combustion chamber is coated with a heat-resistant material. The
insulation on the back wall, combustion bed and baffle plate is made of
vermiculite, a hydrosilicate that can withstand temperatures in the order of
2012°F (1100°C). Its insulating properties allow the unit to take better advantage
of the heat, increasing the temperature inside the chamber and enabling cleaner
combustion (lower CO content), as well as providing greater protection for the
steel plate forming the combustion chamber walls and thus prolonging the life of
the equipment;
* The specially-shaped door is made of carbon steel, making it extremely hard-
wearing;
* Heat-resistant ceramic glass. Can withstand temperatures of up to 1382°F
(750°C) in continuous use;
* Heat-resistant paint for temperature peaks up to 1652°F (900°C) and operating
temperatures in the order of 1112°F (600°C);
