    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. Unical has already used this principal for many years with the GASOGEN G3 2S boiler.
  • Page 9 To obtain this Unical has opted for an exchange surface with dry smoke passes (fig. 4), which have already been extensively tested in oil fired boilers working at low water temperature, thus permitting low smoke temperatures without danger of condensate forming.
  • Page 10 Technical features and dimensions The embers are prevented from falling by cylindrical pieces of refractory steel. The combustion gases, poor in oxygen and still rich in carbon not yet combined, travel across the embers and enter the opening in the centre of the main stone. Inside this pre-combustion chamber, the gases combine with the pre-heated secondary air coming through the grooves of the two cast iron fire bars.
