PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The thermal stove is fuelled by pellets. These are little, cylindri-
cal shapes of pressed wood whose combustion is controlled elec-
tronically. The heat produced by combustion is mainly transmit-
ted to the water and partly emitted into the room by radiation.
The fuel tank (A) is located at the rear of the stove. Filling the
tank is through the back of the lid at the rear of the top. The fuel
(pellets) is taken from the storage tank (A) and, via an
Archimedes' screw (B) activated by a gear motor (C) it is then
transported to the combustion crucible (D).
The ignition of the pellet is via air heated by an electrical heating
element (E) and is sucked into the crucible by a smoke extractor
(F).
The combustion air is drawn into the room (where there must be
an air intake) smoke extractor (F).
The smoke produced by combustion, is extracted from the stove
through the smoke extractor (F), and expelled from the pipe union
(G) located in the bottom portion of the rear of the stove.
The ash falls under and beside the crucible in which is housed an
ash tray from which the ash must be periodically removed by
vacuuming when cool.
The hot water produced by the stove is transferred via a circula-
tor built into the stove itself, to the heating system circuit.
The thermal stove is designed to function with closed expansion
tank and pressure valve, both of which are built in.
Fuel quantity, smoke extraction/combustion air supply and pump
activation are regulated by the control board, which is equipped
with Leonardo® software to achieve high combustion efficiency
and low emissions. The synoptic panel (H)(on the front for Basic)
is installed on the top, through which all phases of operation can
be displayed and controlled. The main phases can even be handled
by radio control (Basic model) and remote control (Esprit-Magic
and Prestige models). Aserial port is found at the back of the ther-
mal stove (optional cable: code 640560) to be connected to devi-
ces that allow remote ignition (e.g. remote telephone, local ther-
mostat).
Operating modes
(for further details, please see page 38)
The temperature of the water required in the system is set via the
panel (standard recommendation 70° C) and the stove manually or
automatically modulates the power to maintain or reach this tem-
perature. The Eco function can be enabled in small systems (the
thermal stove shuts down and goes on again according to the
water temperature required).
NOTE regarding the fuel.
The pellet thermal stoves are designed and programmed to burn wood pellets, 6 mm in diameter.
Pellets are a type of fuel made from compacted sawdust and chopped waste wood, compressed under high pressure with no adhe-
sives or foreign materials. They are small in size, approximately 6 mm in diameter and have a cylindrical shape.
They are sold in bags of 15 kg.
For the thermal thermal stove to function properly, you MUST NOT burn anything else in it.
Using other materials (including wood) will render the warranty null and void. Such use is detected by laboratory analyses.
Edilkamin has designed, tested and programmed their stoves to guarantee the best performance when pellets with the following
characteristics are used:
diameter: 6 millimetres;
maximum length: 40 mm;
maximum moisture content: 8 %;
calorific value: at least 4300 kcal/kg
Using unsuitable pellets may: decrease efficiency; cause malfunctions; stop the stove from functioning due to clogging, dirt on the
glass, unburnt fuel, etc.
