N.B.:
The fire bars and the refractory steel grate are subject to wear; it is therefore advisable
to carry out an annual inspection to prevent bad boiler operation.
2.4 - GENERAL INFORMATION:
REVERSED FLAME COMBUSTION
Every body knows that to make a match last it must be held
with its head upwards.
This is because it is necessary that the flame, in its convective
motion, does not meet another fuel in addition to the one which
it has generated it. As in residential heating the fuel is in form
of wood logs which are loaded from the top, the flame has to
go in the opposite way, i.e. downwards.
Natural draught is a very variable source of depression,
according to the type of chimney, on the weather conditions,
on the type of fuel, etc.
Therefore it is necessary to integrate it with forced ventilation
in order to stabilize it.
By fitting a fan it is possible to considerably reduce the section
of the gas passages on the grate and furthermore there are no
problems with cold starts.
The small grate permits a more controlled passage of
combustion air, contrarily to what happens with the large
traditional grates.
The air can be perfectly dosed because the grate covered with
fired wood has the same crossing resistance and thus the
combustion will be always optimal.
Automatic Heating has already used this principal for many
years with the GASOGEN G3 2S boiler.
The GASOGEN G3 2S boiler today has reached such a high
level of perfection that it can pass all the most stringent tests
foreseen by the European Standards in force concerning the
environment.
