Boiler description Boiler drum construction The main boiler component is the cast iron sectional boiler drum made of grey cast iron according to EN 1561. • Central sections – quality 150 (previously ČSN 42 2415) • Front and rear sections – quality 200 (previously ČSN 42 2420) The boiler pressure components comply with strength requirements according to EN 303-5.
Construction of combustion chamber and fuel transport lines The combustion chamber consists of a longitudinal concave drum made of heat-resisting steel to which there joins askew from below the piping for fuel supply with a screw conveyer for the combustion chamber. This conveyer is also connected with pellets reservoir through another height offset (mismatch) screw conveyer which is equipped with regulators functioning in dependence on discharging the combustion chamber conveyer.
