The control
The Effecta Lambda´s combustion is controlled by a lambda sond, placed in the smoke pipe.
Start of a fire cycle is done by pressing the button "Start", the dampers is than placed in a position to give
the right amount of air to the up start.
When the start is done and the flue gas temperature has reached a temperature of 100degrees, a measur-
ment of the gases starts. The control strive after a preprogrammed value (13%) of co, and moves the
dampers to achieve this. The lambda sond leaves a signal every second. +/- 0,5 %.
The button "Stopp" interrupts the fire and stops the fan and pump. The button "Menu" gives you the opp-
ortunity to browse the menues.
The menues
•
Calibration lambda sond: This should be done prior to the first fire, and there can be no fire in the
grate when doing this.
•
Tuning of lambda value: This is done by pressing + (A) stopp - (B). This can be changed if you
have big differenses in wood qualites.
•
Sooting: After some time of using, a recommandation to soot the boiler will appear in the display.
Then clean the boiler and reset the control by pressing yes in the menu.
Making a fire
Now it´s time to make a fire. Remember that during the first fire, the boiler can appear to be slow and
it can be a bit hard to get a good combustion. This is because alla the metalsheets in the boiler are clean
and cooled by the boilerwater. Also the ceramics have some moiste in it which needs to dry out. This
uses extra energy and makes the fire a little more slow.
During the first warm ups there are also lots of air in the system, and this might lead to some strange
noices in the pipings and the boiler. This will dissapear after a few warm ups of the system.
The power supply should always be switched "ON"
Put a handful of fine cloven wood in the bottom of the grate. Then put quite a lot of paper and put on
top of the pile. Push the button "Start", and then ignite. All hatches should be closed, except the grate
door which can be opened a little bit. You might have to try some small changes, i.e. closing the grate
door, etc, to get the best result.
When the fire has started and it´s been burning for a while a glow should appeare in the bottom. Now
you can fill the grate with wood. Start by putting smaller bits in the bottom and increasing the size
further up in the grate. The better packed the logs are, the higher the effiency and less emmisions you
will get.
When it has been burning for about 15 minitues, the flames should fill up the afterburner that you can
see in the inspection panel in the lower ash door. The boiler makes best use if it´s left alone withou in-
terfernce. If you open the grate door during a fire there is risk for to much gasification which leads to
deterioation of the function.
If you are using very dry wood and have a powerful draft, you might hear a "puffing" sound from the
dampers. This doesn´t deteriorate the combustion, but to avoid this you can install a draft stabiliser.
NOTE! On the occasion of second inlay there is a risk of smoke pooring out of the grate door. Therefore,
open the door cautiously to evacuate gas and smoke in the grate.
