Key Features
- Solarfocus PelletPlus 14kW Wood Pellet Boiler with Integrated Wood Pellet Hopper (100L / 67Kg) and 800 Litre Cylinder
- The PelletPlus is cleverly designed to incorporate what usually consists of 4 separate systems into one fully integrated Unit: (i) Hot Water Storage Tank
- (ii) Tap Water Tank
- (iii) Solar Components
- (iv) Pellet Boiler with built-in Hopper
- Benefits of the PelletPlus system include savings on space due to the integration of the various systems and the elimination of residual heat losses from the Boiler and Hot Water Storage Tank
- Fully automated Heat Exchanger cleaning system
- Highly efficient "Downburn" system, resulting in complete combustion of the wood pellets fuel and reduced heating costs
- Lambda Sensor technology since 1981, which helps control the optimal air volume required for the combustion process, in order to achieve the highest efficiency from all types of wood pellet fuel
- Wood pellets can be fed manually or via a Vacuum (Suction) system
- Single Axle Rotary Vane Feeder
- 100% Burnback Protection even with Power failure
- Automatic Ignition by Glow Pencil
- Full Graphics Control Panel with the Solarfocus EcoManager and Integrated Solar Controls
- Dimensions (DxWxH): 1675 x 1310 x 2130mm.
Description
The Solar Charge (energy) is produced in the PelletPlus by the patented thermosyphon layer charging lance. In effect, the solar heat is "layered" into the best temperature zone. The generously dimensioned stainless steel register produces domestic hot water in a continuous system.
The Single Axle Rotary Vane Feeder is similar to a revolving door in an airport or supermarket. It consists of 6 separate chambers, with a directly attached, maintenance-free geared motor. Whether it rotates or sits idle, it hermetically seals off the Boiler Grate area from the internal Pellet Feed Auger. It provides a 100% Burnback safe mechanism, even in the event of a power failure.
The Combustion air required in various power ranges is supplied by the speed-controlled, stainless steel, Induced Draught Fan. It is controlled by the microprocessor which is built into the Control System and/or by measuring values determined by the Lambda Sensor.
There is a Gravity Drop for the Wood Pellets from the Single Vane Rotary Feeder to the Stainless Steel Burner Grate. Downward burn begins as the flame is suctioned down through the Boiler Grate by the speed-controlled, Induced Draught Fan. Temperatures of up to 1,200°C develop in the Boiler chamber. High temperatures and the Downward Burn system guarantee the complete consumption of the burning material.
The Solarfocus Lambda Sensor (supplied by Bosch) measures the "residual air content" of the emissions and forwards the values to the Control system of the PelletTop Boiler. The Control system then calculates the optimal air volume required for the combustion from the actual values and sets the dampers and/or regulates the speed of the Induced Draught Fan.
General Testimonials
My Wood Pellet Boiler experience has been very positive - 2 years in operation with no problems. Very easy to operate and maintain. The ash pan only needs clearing out once every 5-6 weeks and I carry out the annual maintenance myself (on the advice of the Installer). My 30 kW Wood Pellet Boiler provides adequate heating and hot water for the house (2,500 Sq. Ft.), through a 1,000 Litre Buffer Tank, and uses around 6-7 tonnes of Wood Pellets per year. Overall, Enerfina provides a "one stop shop" for quality renewable energy solutions, with their responsive and knowledgeable staff. This is important when making such significant investments. They help ensure that you make the right choice, particularly given the array of confusing product options that are available in the market today.
