1.4. General technical descprition
MODERATOR pellet burner (Fig. 1.4.1) is capable of burning only wood pellets
after mounting it onto door. Burner should be screwed onto door with torque
wrenches. Maximum tightening torque is 10Nm.
More detailed technical description of the pellet burner is contained in the
separate instruction manual of the pellet burner.
The following instruction refers to the boiler with the following power: 15, 20,
25, 30 kW. Boiler is a device that transmits energy from exhaust gases, which
are produced by pellet burner, into water in the central heating installation. It is
made from boiler sheets (steel type P265GH). Walls inside the boiler are
cooled with water. The main part of the heat exchange surface are pipes
(smoke tubes), inside of which are spiral-shaped turbulator. They significantly
improve heat exchange efficiency and allow for automatic cleaning of the
heating surfaces. The following process involves regular reciprocating motion
of the turbulators, which remove a layer of the ash on the exchange surface.
Typically, boiler consists of the smoke tubes’ cleaning device as well as ash
remover. Boiler is presented below, along with its parts description.
