Understanding Solid Fuel Boilers
A solid fuel boiler can achieve twice the heat of an oil or gas boiler and will
not turn off automatically. Efficiency can only be achieved with strong
circulation and fast heat transfer.
This is not possible when an open vent is installed in front of the circulating
pump or a heat exchanger is installed on the solid fuel boiler.
Heat Hero solves this problem and allows you get full efficiency from your
solid fuel boiler.
It is important that this information booklet is read and understood fully before installation.
*This unit MUST only be installed by a fully qualified person who understands and adheres
to all relevant regulations.
CAUTION - HEAT HERO DIRECT MUST NOT BE INSTALLED AS A CONCEALED UNIT
The following instructions are given to help the installer ensure a safe and efficient
IMPORTANT - INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LIGHTING THE STOVE:
1. Make sure the system is full of water.
2. Make sure that all of the valves are open.
3. Turn On and Off the circulating pump to clear any air in the heating system.
4. Turn On the circulating pump and light the stove slowly until radiators start to heat.
5. The solid fuel circulation pump should be turned up to the maximum speed and the pipe
thermostat should be set 50°-55°.
HEAT HERO DIRECT DESCRIPTION
Heat Hero Direct operates at 0.7 par of pressure and has strong circulation. It is designed to
control single or dual solid fuel heating systems and directly circulate the water from the solid fuel
boiler to the radiators and DHW with out the use of an Heat exchanger. Safety is guaranteed
with an open vent, a built in 44KW cooling loop and an optional gravity circuit to the radiators.
Up until now heat exchangers were used to control and transfer the heat from a solid fuel boiler
to the radiators and domestic hot water. Because a solid fuel boiler is a non-controllable heat
source a heat exchanger is a very inefficient and problematic way to transfer heat. Heat
exchangers work fully efficiently on controlled heat sources like a high pressure gas boiler. Solid
fuel boilers can only achieve full efficiency with direct strong circulation.
Heat Hero Direct does not use a heat exchanger. It circulates the water safely with pressure and
strong circulation directly to the radiators and DHW as required. It is the most efficient controlled
solid fuel heating system on the market that allows the solid fuel boiler inter-link with oil or gas
boilers and operate fully efficiently within the manufacturer’s recommendations.
