In General
Effecta Lambda is a woodred boiler with a suction fan. The boiler should be connected to one or
more accumulators, which are heated via a Laddomat valve. Warm water is taken from the top of the
boiler and is fed to the top of the tank. The return water is taken from the bottom of the tank and is fed
to the bottom of the boiler.
Domestic water
To get domestic water, the tank needs to be equiped with a coil.The tenperature of the water is regulated with a mixing valve.The amount of warmwater is dependent upon the temperature and size of
the tank.
Combustion
On the front of the boiler is two airinlets with dampers, which are controlled by two motors. The motors gets signals from the lambdacontrol depending on the amount of oxygen in the uegases. The system is designed to get as low output of harmful gases as possible. Normally you don´t need to change
the settings when you are burning different kinds of wood with different moisture content.
The system
Effecta Lambda should be connected to at least 1500l of accumulation volume. At installation, there
should always be a Laddomat valve connected.A woodred boiler that is connected to one or more
buffertanks will have a lot of advantages:
• The grate can always be fully loaded
• The user will have a long time between the warmups
• Prolonged lifespan
• The boiler is always used on maximum prestanda
• Efcency and envirinmental assets will be on top
You should always strive after a dimension of the accumulationsystem, so that you don´t need to make
more than one warmup a day.When you startup a new re,the fan will start to provide combustion air
and to prevent smoke from coming out of the reside. When the boiler has reached a temperature of
78degrees, the charging of the tank starts. The laddomat valve care for the statication in the tanks.
When the accumulators are heated, the pump and fan stops. The warm water in the tanks then heats
the radiators in the house, and the domestic water through a coil.

To the installer
It´s now time for the installation of the boiler. Try to follow the examples we are describing for a safe
installation. After the installation, be careful to educate the end user of the boiler how the system is used
and maintained, this is to avoid unnecessary stops an problems.
Location
The boiler shall be placed on a rm foundation, try also to place the boiler as horizontally as possible,
this to avoid airpockets in the boiler. Keep in mind the laws and regulations regarding distances to combustible materials.
The boiler room
The boiler room shall be constructed according to current laws and regulation, if uncertain regarding this,
contact concerned authority. You need good ventilation in the boiler room to get the best performance of
the Woody Lambda.
The accumulator
It´s important that the accumulators are well isolated, this is to get as small heatlosses as possible. To get
a good comfort regarding the number of times you have to be in boiler room, you need at least 1500l of
accumulation volume.
The chimney
The chimney should have a diameter of at least 150mm,if you have a chimney with less diameter, Effecta
should be consulted before installation. The draft in the chimney should at low temperature be approx
15 pa. It´s important that the chimney is tested and approved by concerned authority before a new boiler
is installed. If the draft is to hefty a draft stabilator might be needed. If you have a tall chimney and a ue
gas temperature below 170degrees there is a risk of condensation, which in the long run can be harmful
to the chimney. Adequate temperature 1 metre from the vent of the chimney is 70-80degrees.
If the chimney is tall and wide it may result in to much draft which can lead to too much gasication and
too much re in the grate. This can be prevented by installing a draft stabiliser.

Laddomat 21
A Laddomat valve should always be mounted between boiler and
tank. It´s described further on page 10.
Automatic Shunt
It´s recomended to use an automatic shunt valve to control the ue
in the radiator circuit. It feels the temperature in a special place in
the house and regulates the temperature in the radiator circuit ue.
Using an automatic shunt will signicantly reduce the amount of
wood needed during a year, and your indoor climate comfort will
also improve.
Expansion Vessel
The expansion vessel normally is tested for 6bars. Highest working
temperature is 99degreees. The vessel has a preepressure of 2,5bar.
The volume should be approx. 10% of the total volume of the system. An open vessel should have a volume of 5% of the total.
Safety Valve
The safety valve will release when pressure exseeds 1,5bars. When it
opens water will drip out of it and the pressure goes down. Remember that the system is designed for a maximum pressure of 1,5bars,
and shall under no circumstanes be under higher pressure.
Shuntvalve
The shunt valve is mounted on the radiator circuit, and it´s designed
to mix the accumulatorwater and the return water from the radiator
to get the right temperature indoor. If mounting an automatic shunt
valve, read it´s instructions.

Effecta AB - Västra Rågdalsvägen 21 - 434 96 Kungsbacka - 0300 - 22320 - info@effecta.se
Valve Combination
The valve combination is mounted on the domestic water circuit. It´s
purpose is to mix the hot water with cold before it reaches the water
taps. This is to avoid burns, and to keep the taps and seals from being destroyed by to hot water.
Piping
Normally copper is used for installing these systems. Piping between
boiler and accumulators should not be less 28mm. If the piping is
longer than 6 meters to the rst tank it´s recomended to use 35mm.
The Accumulator Tank
Effecta Lambda must always be connected to some sort of accumulator tank, where the energy is stored, and where the domestic water
and the warm water to the radiators is taken. The accumulator is
described more thorough on page 13.
The Draft Stabiliser
If you have a tall and wide chimney, it´s possible that you have to
install a draft stabiliser. You might notice that you have an irregular
combustion, pufng sounds from the boiler. This happens when the
chimney sucks too much air through the boiler. The placement of the
draft stabiliser in the chimney should be approx. one meter above
the connection to the boiler. This is because you have an overpressure from the fan, and if you place the draft stabiliser too close to the
boiler you might have smoke coming out of the stabiliser.

Function Laddomat 21
1. Start; Before the boiler tem-
perature has reached 78degrees,
the thermovalve is closed, and the
valve for self cirkulation is closed
from the pump pressure.
2.
Heating phase; When the boi-
ler temperature exceeds 78degrees
the thermovalve begins to open and
mixes cold water from the tank.
Normally the temperature of the
return water to the boiler is about
70degrees and the hot water from
the boiler about 80-85degrees.
3. Final part; When the accumula-
tor is getting almost fully charged
the Laddomat, thanks to the unique
thermal valve, charges the accumulator completely by closing the
bypass opening.
4. Self circulation In the event of
a power failure the Laddomat immediatly starts charging the accumulator by self circulation. The
same happens if the pump breaks
down.

The surroundings
When you´re using a wood gasication boiler it´s important to re in a way that´s not harmful for the
environment or your neighbours. Take considerations in the following things:
The fuel
Effecta Lambda designed to be used with wood logs. The kind of tree species has no bigger importance
other than that birch, beech and oak have a higher efcency value than conifer. This means that the accumulator is heated faster with broad leaved trees than with coniferous trees.
Birch, beech and oak also have a slightly higher density than conifer, wich lead up to a bit more com-
pressed pile of wood in the grate which leads to a smoother gasication of the wood and a steadier
combustion.
When making a re, big and small logs should be mixed, with the largest on top in the grate. You
shouldn´t use only ne cloven wood or the opposite, only big logs.
Using only ne cloven wood can lead to a re with higher effect than the boiler is designed for. The
consequenses can be shortened lifespan of wear parts, such as ceramics, fan etc.
Using only bigger logs might lead to a re with low effect, with low ue gas temparature as aftermath.
This might lead up to damages on the chimney if you get condensation in it.
Never make a bonre with stuff that is harmful to the environment such as impregnated wood, domestic
waste, plastics or rubber etc.
Storage of the fuel
To ensure that the Effecta Lambda works in best possible way, the quality of the fuel must be good.
It´s important that the wood has the rigtht moisture, it should be somewhere around 15-20%. The logs
should be split into 5-15cm big bits, and the length should be 45-50cm. Never use logs longer than 5152cm, this will make the logs jam in the grate.
Try to use the sun and wind when storing the wood. If it´s to much dampness in the logs, the efcency
of the boiler will drop.
Cannibalisation
It is many years to come before your Effecta boiler is spent, but we ask you to follow the rules and regulation currently valid at the time for cannibalisation of your boiler.
Environment

Effecta AB - Västra Rågdalsvägen 21 - 434 96 Kungsbacka - 0300 - 22320 - info@effecta.se
Now it´s time to make a re. Remember that during the rst re, the boiler can appear to be slow and
it can be a bit hard to get a good combustion. This is because alla the metalsheets in the boiler are clean
and cooled by the boilerwater. Also the ceramics have some moiste in it which needs to dry out. This
uses extra energy and makes the re a little more slow.
During the rst warm ups there are also lots of air in the system, and this might lead to some strange
noices in the pipings and the boiler. This will dissapear after a few warm ups of the system.
The power supply should always be switched ”ON”
Put a handful of ne cloven wood in the bottom of the grate. Then put quite a lot of paper and put on
top of the pile. Push the button ”Start”, and then ignite. All hatches should be closed, except the grate
door which can be opened a little bit. You might have to try some small changes, i.e. closing the grate
door, etc, to get the best result.
When the re has started and it´s been burning for a while a glow should appeare in the bottom. Now
you can ll the grate with wood. Start by putting smaller bits in the bottom and increasing the size
further up in the grate. The better packed the logs are, the higher the efency and less emmisions you
will get.
When it has been burning for about 15 minitues, the ames should ll up the afterburner that you can
see in the inspection panel in the lower ash door. The boiler makes best use if it´s left alone withou in-
terfernce. If you open the grate door during a re there is risk for to much gasication which leads to
deterioation of the function.
If you are using very dry wood and have a powerful draft, you might hear a ”pufng” sound from the
dampers. This doesn´t deteriorate the combustion, but to avoid this you can install a draft stabiliser.
NOTE! On the occasion of second inlay there is a risk of smoke pooring out of the grate door. Therefore,
open the door cautiously to evacuate gas and smoke in the grate.
Making a re
The control
The Effecta Lambda´s combustion is controlled by a lambda sond, placed in the smoke pipe.
Start of a re cycle is done by pressing the button ”Start”, the dampers is than placed in a position to give
the right amount of air to the up start.
When the start is done and the ue gas temperature has reached a temperature of 100degrees, a measurment of the gases starts. The control strive after a preprogrammed value (13%) of co2, and moves the
dampers to achieve this. The lambda sond leaves a signal every second. +/- 0,5 %.
The button ”Stopp” interrupts the re and stops the fan and pump. The button ”Menu” gives you the opportunity to browse the menues.
The menues
• Calibration lambda sond: This should be done prior to the rst re, and there can be no re in the
grate when doing this.
• Tuning of lambda value: This is done by pressing + (A) stopp - (B). This can be changed if you
have big differenses in wood qualites.
• Sooting: After some time of using, a recommandation to soot the boiler will appear in the display.
Then clean the boiler and reset the control by pressing yes in the menu.

Sooting
To get the best performance from your Effecta boiler, it is important to clean it on regular basis. In
winter time it´s appropriate to clean it once a week, in summer once a month.
• Start by removing the stainless stick which lies on top of the
ceramics. Remove bits of logs and coal through the opening be tween the ceramics. The walls in the grate is usually covered with
a thin layer of tar. There is no need to remove this.
• Then remove the rear top plate and the ash hatch.
Remove the 7 turbulators and use the appurtenant
brush to clean the tubes.
• Then open the lower front door, pull out the afterburner and
empty it from ash. This should be done every third warm up
to get the most out your boiler. Then scrape out the dirt in the
space beneath the ceramics.
When cleaning the boiler, you might also clean the fan. Remove
the wing nuts at the fan and pull the fan out from the boiler.
Clean the wheel from dust and soot. If not properly cleaned the boiler will detoriate and burn
with lower efcency. Cleaning of the fan should normally be done 3-4 times/year.
Annual Service
Every year you should do a more thorough control of the
boiler, a good time to do this is before winter, when the
boiler will be used more frequently.
Start by controlling the combustion zone and ceramics. In
the interspace between the ceramics is metall plate with
holes (seen from under), remove dust and other objects.
Control the seals in the doors, they must not leak.
Remove the lambda sond and clean it from ash and soot.
