Boiler
A Nordic ecolabeled wood boiler fulfils very high requirements for emissions and efficiency. This
also means controls of the materials used in the product to ensure that, for example, plastics
and paints are environmentally friendly and not harmful to the environment when the product is
scrapped. A fee is also paid to the recycling company REPA to ensure the future handling of the
material. As a user of an ecolabeled product, you will contribute to a better environment around
you.
Wood system
In order to fulfil the Nordic Ecolabel, the accumulator tank volume must be at least 2,000 litres.
This to the boiler can burn at a high power output for a long time.
Wood and solar system
The solar collectors that are part of the ecolabeled total solution constitute an important part,
but are not necessary for ecolabelling.
Installation
We recommend that installation be performed by a trained HVAC installer with good references
regarding wood boiler installations. This ensures that you as a user receive full support and a
well performed installation.

▀ General
Effecta Lambda is a wood boiler with an induced-draught fan. The boiler is fired with wooden
logs measuring 50 cm. The boiler must be docked to one or more accumulator tanks, which
are charged with charging equipment of the Laddomat 21-60 type or equivalent. Hot water is
taken from the top of the boiler and is conducted to the accumulator tank. Return water from
the accumulator tank is conducted via the charging unit to the bottom of the boiler. The water is
conducted from the accumulator tank to the radiator circuit via a shunt valve that mixes the water
to the desired temperature.
Hot water preparation
For hot water storage, the accumulator tank must have a built-in hot water coil or equivalent. The
temperature of the hot water is adjusted by means of a mixing valve. The amount of hot water that
can be tapped depends on the accumulator tank temperature, size and the incoming cold water
flow.
Combustion
On the front of the boiler, there are two air inlets. The dampers are controlled by two motors
that receive a signal about the oxygen level from the lambda probe to obtain the best possible
environmental value and thus the best efficiency. Normally, the preset values do not need to be
adjusted for different wood types and humidity levels.
System description
Effecta Lambda has a recommended accumulator tank volume of 1,500-2,500 litres. If a smaller
volume is installed, the boiler's performance may no longer be optimal. During installation, a
charging coupler with a thermal valve must always be connected, for example Laddomat 21-60.
A wood boiler that is connected to one or more accumulator tanks has a number of advantages,
- The boiler's loading compartment can always be filled with wood
- The user normally has a long interval between firings
- Extended life for the boiler and wear parts
- The boiler is always fired at maximum output
- The environment and efficiency receive the best performance levels
Always try to select an accumulator tank size that will allow you to fire no more than once a day.
When a new firing commences, the boiler fan starts up in order to provide combustion air and
prevent smoke emission. When the boiler reaches a temperature of 72°C, the accumulator tank
starts to charge, and the charging equipment ensures that this is done using layering. When
the accumulator tank is heated, the fan and the charging pump stop. The warm water in the
accumulator tank then heats the house via a shunt valve or automatic shunt. The hot water is
controlled with a mixing valve.

▀ To the installer
It is time to install the Effecta Lambda wood boiler. Please follow the examples we provide for a
safe installation. After installation, be sure to instruct the customer on how the heating system
and the boiler work, in order to avoid unnecessary complications in the future.
Set up
The boiler is positioned so that the surface temperature of flammable building material not
exceed 80°C. The boiler should be positioned at least 15 cm (1.) from the wall. The distance
from the smoke connection to a flammable wall with ignition protective covering must be at
least 30 cm (4.). In order to clean the boiler, a minimum clear space of 1 metre (2.) is required
in front of the boiler and on the side at the convection section and at any inspection panel in the
chimney. A passage with a minimum width of 0.5 (3.)
m is required along one of the long sides of the boiler.
The boiler room
The boiler must be installed in a boiler room or boiler
house. The ceilings and walls must be fitted with
ignition protective covering and the floor must
be made of non-combustible material. Minimum
ceiling height at the boiler is 2 metres. The boiler
room or boiler house must be equipped with a
fresh air intake with the minimum dimensions
150 x 150 (5.) mm or with a sufficiently large
free sectional area to avoid low pressure in
the boiler room. It must be impossible to
close the air intake.
Accumulator tank
Be sure that the accumulator tanks
are well insulated. For the Effecta
Lambda to function as optimally as possible,
an accumulator tank volume of 1,500-2,500 litres is
required.
Chimney
The chimney should have a diameter of at least 150 mm. If your chimney is smaller, Effecta
should be consulted before installation. The draught in the chimney should be about 15 pa at
low temperatures. It is important that the chimney is tested and approved by a certified chimney
sweep before a new boiler is installed. If the chimney has a strong draught, a draught stabiliser
(see page 24.) may need to be installed for good boiler operation. If you have a tall chimney and
an outgoing flue gas temperature below 170°C, there is a risk of condensation in the chimney,
which can damage the chimney in the long term. A suitable temperature is 70-80°C one metre
down into the chimney. Ask your local chimney sweep for help to measure the temperature. If
the chimney is tall and has a large area, a draught that is too strong may mean high levels of
flue gas and over ignition in the loading compartment. If this is the case, a counter draught door
must be installed.

▀ System components
Laddomat
Laddomat or an equivalent product should always be installed
between the boiler and accumulator tank. The Laddomat is
described in detail on page 12. The Laddomat prevent the boiler
from being overheated by sending the cold water from the
accumulator to the boiler in case of a power failure.
Shunt automatic system
The installation of a shunt automatic system on the radiator
circuit is always recommended. The automatic system senses
the temperature in a suitable location in the house and adjusts
the incoming temperature on the radiator circuit accordingly. This
measure can reduce your wood consumption by as much as 25
% and will improve your heat comfort level.
Expansion vessel
The expansion vessel can normally withstand a pressure of 6
bar. Maximum operating temperature is 99°C. The volume of
a pressure vessel is 10-12 % litres depending on the system’s
overall volume. An open vessel must contain 5 % of the total
system’s volume. When planning for size, keep in mind the
radiator volume and the volume of the boiler. A pressure vessel
must have a first pressure of 0.2 bar above the highest radiator.
Safety valve
The safety valve opens if the pressure reaches 1.5 bar. When the
valve opens, excess water drips out and the system pressure is
reduced. The pressure must under no circumstances exceed 1.5
bar. AT LEAST ONE SAFETY VALVE MUST BE INSTALLED!
See connection scheme for where to install the safety valve.
Shunt valve
The shunt valve is fitted to the radiator circuit. Its task is to mix
accumulator tank water with recycled water from the radiators
to achieve the correct temperature of the radiator water. For
the installation of the shunt automatic system, please follow the
supplied description.

Remember to always insulate
pipes in the system.
▀ System components
The valve kit
The valve kit is fitted to the hot water circuit, and is installed to
premix the water before it reaches the tap point. This means
you avoid burns and the temperature can be easily adjusted.
If it is not installed, mixers at tap points will deteriorate and
break.
Pipes
Normally copper piping is used for connection of the system.
Connection between accumulators must be a minimum of 28
mm. If pipe length is more than 6 metres to the first accumulator
tank, 35 mm pipes are recommended. Remember to insulate
the pipes between the accumulators to avoid large losses
from the system.
Accumulator tank
Effecta Lambda must always work with some sort of heat
storage. Normally this is an accumulator tank where you get
your hot tap water and radiator heat. The accumulator tank is
described in more detail on (page 13.)
Draught limiter
We recommend that you always install a draught stabiliser in
your chimney. The stabiliser will give the boiler a more even
draught and will improve function. In addition, Effecta Lambda
closes its air damper after firing is complete, which prevents
downdrafts through the boiler. This can sometimes lead to
a high back pressure during new firing, since the chimney is
cold. This is prevented with a draught stabiliser.
(See page 24.)

Surroundings
When you heat with wood, you must fire up in a way that is gentle to the environment and your
surroundings. It is important that you think of the people who live around you. Try to remember
the following things below.
The fuel
Effecta Lambda is tested for firing with pieces of wood. The choice of wood type has no
significant impact on boiler operation, with the exception of beech, birch and oak, which have a
higher energy value than softwood. This means that the accumulator tank is heated faster with
hardwood than with softwood. Beech, birch and oak are slightly heavier than softwood, which
means that the wood is pressed together better in the loading compartment, which makes for
a denser and more uniform gas production, which in turn makes the boiler more stable during
firing. Firing with only oak creates a higher wear on the ceramic tray. We therefore recommend
that oak is mixed with other wood types.
When firing, large and smaller blocks of wood should be mixed with the largest at the top of
the loading compartment. Do not fire with only finely chopped wood or conversely, if you heat
only using small blocks of wood, the boiler may end up at a higher effect level than tested for,
resulting in a shortened life span on wear parts such as ceramics etc.
If you fire up using only larger pieces of wood, the boiler will probably burn at a lower power
output with low flue gas levels as a result. This can damage the chimney, since condensation
may form.
Never heat using hazardous waste such as treated or stained wood, household waste, plastics
or rubber, etc.
Fuel storage
In order to use Effecta Lambda in the best possible way, the quality of wood must be good. It
is important that the wood has been stored so that the moisture content is between 15-20 %.
Chop the firewood into 5-15 cm pieces.
Try to use the sun and wind to a maximum: when you store the wood, the wind should be able
to blow through the wood for quick drying. Keep in mind that efficiency is sharply reduced if
the wood is too wet.
Dismantling and scrapping
There are many years left before your Effecta boiler is used up, but we ask that you follow the
applicable rules at the current time of dismantling and scrapping your boiler.
