Introduction
Dear Customer,
Congratulations on choosing an Ecomax appliance to heat your home and hot water.
You have also purchased a New Zealand manufactured appliance with after sales
service and parts readily available, unlike some imported central heating appliances.
The "Ecomax" Auto Stoker is used to supply hot water to central heating systems,
which includes underfloor, radiators, fan convectors and domestic/commercial hot
water all year round. It has the capacity to supply up to 26kW of energy, depending on
coal quality.
Automatic coal stokers are the cleanest coal burning appliances on the market, as the
air to fuel ratio can be set to achieve 95% combustion efficiency and 74% thermal
efficiency with smokeless operation.
The unit uses between 5-7 kg of coal per hour (depending on quality) to produce up to
26kW of energy. The running costs can be less than one eighth of the price of
electricity, and can be cheaper depending on regional coal prices.
The fire is mechanically fed with coal from a 500kg (up to 3000kg if required) hopper.
The automatic stoker will switch on and off automatically by thermostat and can
operate for short periods of time every day without the need to re-light. In fact the
stoker can shut down for up to 24 hours and then automatically re-light itself.
The unit is fully wired ready to plug into the wall, with a water thermostat and a boiler
tube cleaning device with external lever. The boiler is fully insulated and has a
durable powder coated cladding. Our quality controls ensure that with proper
maintenance and care, you can expect years of trouble free operation.
An additional water pump must be supplied by the installer, which is piped to the
water inlet (return) of the appliance. The pump must be sized to suit the overall
system. The pump must be wired to the appliance, via the electrical strip connector
inside the back panel.
