In general

Effecta Lambda 60 is a wood fired boiler with a induced-draught fan. The boiler should be
connected to one or more accumulators, which are heated via a Laddomat valve. Hot 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.

Hot water preparation

For hot water storage, the accumulator tank must have a built-in hot water coil or equivalent.
The temperature of the hot water is adjusted by means of a mixing valve. The amount of hot
water that can be tapped depends on the accumulator tank temperature, size and the incoming
cold water flow.

Combustion

On the front of the boiler is two air inlets with dampers, which are controlled by two motors.
The motors gets signals from the lambda control depending on the amount of oxygen in the flue
gases. 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 3000l of accumulation volume. At installation,
there should always be a Laddomat valve connected. A wood fired boiler that is connected to
one or more accumulator tank will have a lot of advantages:

• The loading compartment can always be fully loaded

• The user will have a long time between the warm-ups

• Long life-span

• The boiler is always used on maximum performance

• Efciency and environmental assets will be on top

Always try to select an accumulator tank size that will allow you to fire no more than once a
day. When a new firing commences, the boiler fan starts up in order to provide combustion air
and prevent smoke emission. When the boiler reaches a temperature of 78°C, the accumulator
tank starts to charge, and the charging equipment ensures that this is done using layering.
When the accumulator tank is heated, the fan and the charging pump stop. The warm water in
the accumulator tank then heats the house via a shunt valve or automatic shunt. The hot water
is controlled with a mixing valve.

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 right moisture, it should be somewhere around 15­20%. The logs should be split into 5-15cm big bits, and the length should be 45-50cm. Never
use logs longer than 51-52cm, this will make the logs jam in the loading chamber.
Try to use the sun and wind when storing the wood. If it´s to much dampness in the logs, the
efficiency of the boiler will drop.

Dismantling and disposal

It is many years to come before your Effecta boiler is worn out, but we ask you to follow the
rules and regulation currently valid at the time for dismantling and disposal of your boiler.

To the installer

It is time to install the Effecta Lambda wood boiler. Please follow the examples we provide for a
safe installation. After installation, be sure to instruct the customer on how the heating system
and the boiler work, in order to avoid unnecessary complications in the future.

Set up

The boiler is positioned so that the surface temperature of flammable building material not
exceed 80°C. The boiler should be positioned at least 15 cm (1.) from the wall. The distance
from the smoke connection to a flammable wall with ignition protective covering must be at least
30 cm (4.). In order to clean the boiler, a minimum clear space of 1 metre (2.) is required in front
of the boiler and on the side at the convection section
and at any inspection panel in the chimney. A passage
with a minimum width of 0.5 (3.) m is required along
one of the long sides of the boiler.

The boiler room

The boiler must be installed in a boiler room or
boiler house. The ceilings and walls must be
fitted with ignition protective covering and
the floor must be made of non-combustible
material. Minimum ceiling height at the boiler
is 2 metres. The boiler room or boiler house
must be equipped with a fresh air intake
with the minimum dimensions 150 x 150
(5.) mm or with a sufficiently large free
sectional area to avoid low pressure in
the boiler room. It must be impossible to
close the air intake.

Accumulator tank

Be sure that the accumulator tanks are well insulated.
For the Effecta Lambda to function as optimally as possible, an accumulator
tank volume of 3000-5000 liters is required.

Chimney

The chimney should have a diameter of at least 150 mm. If your chimney is smaller, Effecta
should be consulted before installation. The draught in the chimney should be about 15 pa at
low temperatures. It is important that the chimney is tested and approved by a certified chimney
sweep before a new boiler is installed. If the chimney has a strong draught, a draught stabiliser
(see page 24.) may need to be installed for good boiler operation. If you have a tall chimney and
an outgoing flue gas temperature below 170°C, there is a risk of condensation in the chimney,
which can damage the chimney in the long term. A suitable temperature is 70-80°C one metre
down into the chimney. Ask your local chimney sweep for help to measure the temperature. If
the chimney is tall and has a large area, a draught that is too strong may mean high levels of
flue gas and overignition in the loading compartment. If this is the case, a counterdraught door
must be installed.

Laddomat 21-100 or equivalent

A Laddomat valve should always be mounted between boiler and
tank. It´s described further on page 12.

Automatic Shunt

The installation of a shunt automatic system on the radiator
circuit is always recommended. The automatic system senses
the temperature in a suitable location in the house and adjusts
the incoming temperature on the radiator circuit accordingly.
This measure can reduce your wood consumption by as much as
25 % and will improve your heat comfort level..

Expansion Vessel

The expansion vessel normally is tested for 6 bars. Highest
working temperature is 99°C. The vessel has a prepressure
of 2,5 bar. The volume should be approx. 10-12% 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 exceeds 1,5 bars.
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 1,5 bars, and shall under no circumstances be under
higher pressure.

Shunt valve

The shunt valve is to be mounted on the radiator circuit, and it´s
designed to mix the accumulator water 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 is 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 piping is used for installing these systems.
Piping between boiler and accumulators should not be less
35mm. If the piping is longer than 6 meters to the first tank
it´s recommended to use 42mm.

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 hot 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 is possible that you
have to install a draft stabiliser. You might notice that you
have an irregular combustion, puffing 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.

NOTICE!

Remember to insulate all of the

pipes in the boiler room.
