    • TURBULENCE PLATES 1, 2. Ceramic burner; 3. Ceramic chopper. Turbulence plates – a technology invented and patented by “Astra” engineers, used for capturing more heat from the hot exhaust smoke. It forces the exhaust smoke to hold, become turbulent and thus transfer more heat to the adjacent heat exchanger.

    INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL 3. INTENDED USE The heating boiler is designed for the heating of residential and public buildings, manufacturing shops and other buildings where a closed heating system has been installed. Control and regulation devices are installed in the boiler, which automatically maintain the set water temperature, ensure economically efficient usage of the boiler and safe operation.

    HEATING BOILERS: Astra G-100E accumulate the excessive heat. If the boiler is operated without the accumulation tank, its lifetime can be shortened because, in such a case, a relatively low temperature of the outflowing water is maintained in the boiler (65-70°C). Therefore, the temperature of the water returning to the boiler from the heating system is as low as 55-60°C.

    HEATING BOILERS: Astra G-100E should correspond to the referred value of draught in the table “Technical data”. The liner should be factory made. Minimum permissible height of the chimney should be at least 7 m. The top of the chimney should be above the ridge at least by 0.5m. If the chimney is further from the ridge than 1m, the angle horizon- the ridge- the cap of the chimney should consist 10°...

    INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL Firing the boiler with coal, rubber or plastics is prohibited. However, loading wood briquettes into the boiler together with their plastic packaging bags is allowed. 7. OPERATION START • FRONT CONTROL PANEL The front control panel has an electronic boiler regulator 1, a green button for switching voltage to the boiler on/off 2 and a red button for switching on the ventilator 3.
  • Page 16 HEATING BOILERS: Astra G-100E The electric fuse is designated to protect the elements of the electric circuit in case the current in the mains exceeds 2 A. If the fuse is damaged, the boiler will not switch on and its indicator lamps will not light. In this case, remove and replace the fuse.

Lamp 5 “Pump on” lights up when the controller switches on the central heating (CH) pump. The CH pump can be turned on in two ways: 1) at once, together with the electrical supply of the boiler, 2) when the boiler water exceeds some temperature, for example 60°C.
