Gasifying boiler Vigas
1. TECHNICAL ESCRIPTION
VIGAS thermal boilers are designed for the combustion of dry wood materials, using sawdust to wood logs
according to the dimensions of the gasification chamber, with a maximum diameter of 20 cm. Sawdust,
woodchips, splinters and cuttings must be burned in conjunction with wood logs. Thermal boiler VIGAS 29
UD is designed to burn brown coal. It is possible to use dry wooden material as a substitute fuel.
Boilers are welded from – 6 mm steel sheets. Inner boiler sheets, which are in contact with boiler waste
gases, are 6 mm thick, others are made of mm steel.
The heat exchanger is welded from steel pipes, 57x ,5 mm. Exterior boiler panels are made of 0,8 mm
sheet. Thermal insulation of the boiler is made of insulation material, NOBASIL 20 and 50 mm thickness.
Combustion gases pass through the steel boiler neck to the chimney.
The boiler space consists of a combustion chamber, where fuel is dried and gasified. Then accrued gases
pass through the fireproof concrete nozzle or a cast iron nozzle into the combustion chamber, where it
burns with the help of secondary air. Flue gases are intensively cooled in the exchanger. The boiler has
a light up damper controlled by a lever at the front of the boiler.
In order that the boiler complies with the requirements for non-demanding operations, it is equipped with an
AK 000 control located on the top panel of the boiler. The design of the system allows very effective
combustion of various kinds of fuel. The AK 000 Control with graphical display in basic configuration offers
the following:
 controlled temperature of heated water ranging from 70 - 85°C (up to 90°C with accu. tank)
 continuous and automatic control of the fan according to required output and type of fuel
 connnection to and control of discharge fan
 connection to and control of circulation pump
 connection to the gases thermometer
 connection to room thermostat (room temperature regulator is voltage free )
 connection to extended regulation (Expander AK 000) via BH BUS
 connection to module AK 000M data back-up, followed by PC evaluation
 graphical schematic indicating hydraulic boiler connection as requested
 real time set
Configuration VIGAS
Lambda Control
offers :
 control of the servo flap of primary and secondary air, based on data received from the lambda
sensor oxygen level reading.
 during a power cut, AA batteries will close the servo-operated flap and this prevents draught from
the chimney burning up the fuel.
The boilers are equipped with a STB thermal fuse, which disconnects the boiler fan if overheating occurs
(above 100°C). A safety mechanism to prevent the boiler from overheating is a requirement of the STN EN
303-5: 2012 standard. It is recommended to install a safety valve TS 131 ¾“ in the exchanger to avoid
overheating.

4. BASIC CONFIGURATION OF VIGAS BOILER WITHOUT
EXHAUST FAN
The advantage of the exhaust gas thermometer is to control the maximum exhaust gas temperature, and when this is
reached by the boiler, a fan will come into operation to lower the engine RPM. This results in higher boiler efficiency
and lower fuel consumption. If installed with an accumulator tank, the thermometer will shut down the boiler when fuel
is burned down. The water temperature inside the boiler and accumulator tank has no influence on boiler shut down.
4.1 VIGAS BOILER CONTROL
4.1.1 Boiler activation
4.1.2 Boiler active – heating phase, heating regime „On“
4.1.3 Boiler active – burning phase „74°C“

In the heating phase, the boiler gas exhaust temperature is lower then
the
minimum set-up exhaust gas temperature
. Minimum and maximum
temperatures can be modified in boiler set-
up parameters. Minimum
standard exhaust gas set-up temperature is up 90°C and maximum set
-
up temperature is 220°C.
Boiler can be in heating mode for up to 60
minutes with minimum of 2min. If boiler does not reach bu
rning phase in
this time, it will automatically shut down – sign „END“.
OFF will be displayed when the boiler is switched off. To START the
boiler press middle button ENTER.
The burning phase is active, when the exhaust gas temperature is
(
end) +10 °C or after reaching desired temp. Burning phase is
controlled by PID regulator on the basis of chimney and boiler temp.
If the
temperature rises 1°C above desired temp., the output will be 0
%. If it
decreases >2°C below desired temp., the output will start again.

controlled flap will move to an open
position (servo 100 %). Consequently, the following sequence
100%
down to 5% will move the flap to retain the lambda sensor value of λ
1,35. When displa
ying servo at 5%, secondary air is closed. When
displaying 0% primary air is also closed. The flap will move to position
0% only when boiler is in the „OFF“ or „END“ phase.
In the heating phase boiler gas exhaust temperature is lower then set-
up minimum
exhaust gas temperature. Minimum and maximum
temperatures can be modified in boiler set-
up parameters. Minimum
standard exhaust gas temperature set-up is up to 50°C
and maximum
set-up temperature is 220°C. The pump operates in a continuous
wave during o
pen burn, depending on the boiler water temperature.
The burning phase is active, when the exhaust gas temperature is
(
end) +10 °C or after reaching desired temp. Burning phase is
controlled by PID regulator on the basis of chimney and boiler temp. If
the
temperature rises 1°C above desired temp., the output will be 0
%. If it
decreases >2°C below desired temp., the output will start again.
The graphic control is used for this operation.
