In General

Effecta Lambda is a woodred 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 woodred 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

• Efcency 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 statication 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 gasication 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 signicantly 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.

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, pufng 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.
