Technical characteristics of the solid fuel boiler "Prometheus"
Consider the boiler "Prometheus", reviews (it works on solid fuel) you can read below. But first, you should consider the technical specifications. In the lineup there are models whose power varies from 12 to 60 kW. The body is based on anticorrosive 4 mm steel, and coal is used as the main fuel. In rare cases, the use of firewood is acceptable, but the efficiency will decrease.
The loading chamber is so large that it can provide continuous operation for 8-12 hours. An additional option is the ability to install an awning, and the power range allows you to use the equipment not only as an emergency heat source, but also the main heat source. A three-way heat exchanger increases work efficiency thanks to improved heat removal.
The most powerful model is different from the line, because instead of a mechanical draft regulator, it uses a smoke exhaust. The loading chamber was also modified; leverage for shaking the grate was added to the design . The primary and secondary air supply system has been modified. The active combustion zone is supplemented with fireclay bricks, which guarantees higher heat resistance and afterburning of combustion products.
