1. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Combined warm water boiler VIGAS 18DPA and VIGAS 26 DPA offers two different systems of fuel
combustion. Wood fuel combustion provides effective way applied with all Vigas boilers. Pellet fuel heating
is provided by classic burning process on fire grate, made of heat resistant steel, where pellets are
delivered by screw feeder. Boiler VIGAS 18 DPA and VIGAS 26 DPA is designed to burn pellets with
diameter of 6 mm and lenght up to 40mm, as well as dry wood materials from sawdust to wood logs of 52
cm long, with max. diameter 20 cm. Sawdust, woodchips and cuttings are recommended to burn together
with wood logs.
Boilers are welded from 4 and 6 mm steel sheets. Inner boiler sheets, which are in contact with boiler
gases are 6 mm thick, others are made of 4 mm steel. The heat exchanger is welded from 57 x 4,5 mm
steel pipes. External casing of is made of 0,8 mm steel sheets. Heat insulation of the boiler is formed by
20-50 mm mineral wool. The combustion gas is discharged through steel flue gas into the chimney.The
pellet container is designed from 1,5 mm steel sheet and its volume is 250 l.The integral components of the
boiler include: front gear unit, electric ignition unit, security tourniquet, air distributor with servo and fan,
chimney temperature sensor, ultrasound sensor to detect level of pellets. Internal space consists of
combustion chamber, where fuel is dried and combusted. Produced wood gas is carried through nozzle
into combustion chamber, where it burns with support od secondary air.
Pellets are led directly to combustion chamber by accurate dosing from container during combustion with
assistance or regulated air supply. Furthermore, the flue gases are led to double-row heat exchanger,
where intensively cooling down untill reaching the flue gas. Unburned ashes and waste is seated in the
combustion chamber, which is advised to be clean approximately once a week. Boiler offers simple
maintenance due to AK4000 control, located on the top of the boiler.
Control AK4000 offers and permits following actions:

 to control heating temperature reached by changing of fan speed using by PID regulator
 to control and manage operation of pellet feeeding device
 to read water boiler temperature
 to read volume of pellets in the container
 to read temperature of flue gases
 to read motor temperature of pellet feeding device
 to connect and control the discharge fan
 to connect and control circulation pump
 to connect and control room thermostat
 to connect extended regulation (Expander AK 4000) via BH BUS
 to connect modul AK 4000M for data back-up and possible evaluation via PC
 option for graphic view of hydraulic schemas with connection per requirements

SAFETY FEATURES

Boiler is supplied with STB safety, which disconnects the boiler fan to avoid boiler overheating above
100 °C and it is equipped with safety cooling exchanger according to EN 303/5: 2012. Manufacturer
recommends to purchase Honeywell TS131 3/4“ safety valve - to be assembled to the safety cooling
exchanger. The boiler is equipped with a safety cell feeder (tourniquett) driven by chain transmission to
avoid pellet re-ignition inside container. In case of power failure or device error, there is always security air
gap between the container and pellet combustion chamber which prevents ignition of the pellets in the
container. To avoid engine gear damage by possible feeding screw blockage or tourniquet blockage, the
boiler is equipped with a safety thermometer that detects the temperature of the engine and if temperature
is 80 °C, engine will shut down.

Important information

!!!

 Use only recommended fuel.
 Do not overload the boiler with fuel during mid-season period, to avoid tar production.
 When refilling the boiler, make sure that fuel does not get between mounting and chimney f

lap. This

would stop chimney flap from proper closing.



It is important to lay wood properly, to allow proper closing of the upper door. Forced closing can

damage heatproof lining.

 It is recommended that only person over 18 years, should operate the boiler.



Gasification chamber cleaning

It is necessary to remove tar from the gasification chamber once a week. It is recommended to burn it off

with the upper door and chimney flap open. If there is extra ash which did not fall throug

h the nozzle

(pic. 3/9)

into the fireclay combustion chamber, this should be removed from time to time. Fuel bunker will

increase to the original size and primary air flow through nozzle will be enhanced.

Optimal wood burning and keeping minimum temperature of the reverse water at 60°C will ensure that the
gasifying chamber and exchanger will only soot little. Using damp wood may cause water to condense on
the walls of the combustion chamber, which creates tar on the surface.



Exchanger cleaning

It is necessary to clean exchanger pipes once a month using the fire rake (round plate).

Than remove ash

from lower part of combustion chamber through bottom door.
Recommendation: If the exchanger is not cleaned regularly it will become

clogged with tar. Do not use

solvents. The boiler must be cleaned whilst it is hot!

Heat boiler to approx 80°C (without fan) through open

upper door and chimney flap. Then close the flap and door. Using gloves, carefully open exchange

r cover.

Clean clogged pipes with relevant accessories.

After cleaning, close exchanger cover and let the boiler

burn / gasify for approx. 5 hours at maximum performance, in order to get rid of any remaining tar.

Avoid

this situation in the future.

WARNING: Boiler room area must be permanetly ventilated at maximum during cleaning time.



Combustion chamber cleaning

It is recommended

to sweep out ash and dust that has fallen and settled in the combustion chamber once

every 3-5 days. When using pellets, clean the pellet burner once a month.

NOTICE

with secondary air to ensure efficient burning. The nozzle is

located on the water cooling rack. The nozzle is surrounded with heat-

proof

concrete at the same height as the nozzle. The life of the nozzle is

dependent on mechanical damage as a result of f

uel loading or stoking the

fire. Therefore, the nozzle is considered as a spare part. Cracks noticed on

the nozzle are not a reason to change the nozzle. It is only necessary to

change the nozzle if it is dropped or is broken. Remove the pieces of the

broken nozzle and replace with a

new nozzle ensuring that it is inserted and

fits into the opening.

When cleaning exchanger pipes (pic.3/23) make sure that flap area

is clean,

as well as flap itself (pic.3/15). Flap leakage can decrease boiler power.
Notification: Flap is secured by 2 bolts with loose fitting. Do not fasten!!!

13.1 SAFETY DRAIN VALVE

Cooling safety exchanger usage:

13.2 ROOM THERMOSTAT

The clearness of air pipes is the basic requirement for the proper combustion of the boiler.

It is necessary

to clean pipe system at least once per year. The combustion takes place on the basis of primary and

secon

dary air duct. The boiler construction allows by gradual dismatling to access all required area for

cleaning.

Cooling safety exchanger together with safety drain valve

Honeywell TS 131

porvides boiler protection against overheating during a powe

r cut. If forced

circulation will shut down the pump and then the water flow in central heating

system will stop.

In case, there is no option to use automatic gravity flow or

minimum 5kW consumption, boiler can overheat.

Assembly of safety drain valve TS 131:

Valve TS131 screw on to the mounthpiece „1“. Safety exchanger must be

water tight (closing water prior flowing). The second outlet must be directed

into the drain. Insert the thermal sensor ½“ into mouthpiece „2“.

Notification

:

 Safety drain valve is not part of the boiler.


The assembly of the drain valve and thermal sensor is necessary to

perform before the central heating system is filled with water.

 The pressure of cooling water should not be dependent on voltage.
 Do not loosen ¾“ inserts „2“, may cause water leakage.

There is

aluminium washer „4“ with rubber insert „3“, that seals copper pipe

„1“

inside mouthpiece „5“. If water leakage occurs tighten insert ¾“ no. „2“.

Features

:

Safety drain valve opens according to boiler outlet water temperature.

When the

temperature reaches 95 °C, valve opens. Overflowing water from communal

water supply absorbs boiler temperature and avoids overheating or poss

ible

boiler damage. This system is in accordance with standard STN EN 303­5/2012.

The basic version of electronic control unit without expander allows to connect pump with

AK 4000S power board. The operation of

pump depends on selected hydraulic schema

and boiler temperature. Using two methods of pump control, by pulse or permanent

running.

Pulse running

allows the pump to go on and off within specific time interval. Pump activity

depends on the boiler output tem

perature. The main advatage is protection of the boiler

against low-temperature corrosion.
Permanent running is used with 3-way thermostatic valve

or Ladomat installation. See

chap. 10.4.
The pump operation is indicated by a flashing symbol on the display.

Discharge fan „2“ is designed to eliminate smoke in the boiler room area during refueling

VIGAS boiler. In case chimney does not comply with minimu

m parameters „A“ a „B“ it is

recommended to install discharge fan. This shall be installed between chimney flue and

chimney body. Fan capacitor „3“ shall be mounted to the side. It shall be connected to the

power board unit AK 4000S. It comes in two sizes depending on chimney diameter.

V25 (code 0507)

– for VIGAS 16,18DPA, 25, 29 UD.

V80 (code 0508)

– for VIGAS 40, 60, 80, 100.

As standard in the boilers VIGAS, one load is sufficient for 12 hours of operation which

means that it uses less than 30% of rated output. In view of the life of the boiler it is

preferred that the boiler operates at least at 50% of rated output.

If the boiler VIGAS is used

with

ACCU

tank, 100% of rated output is used to achieve the desired boiler temperature. If

there is current requirement for heating, 100% output of the boiler is divided into charging

ACCU tank and heating. In this case, the ta

nk is recharged by the excess output of the

boiler. In view of the fact that the boiler and ACCU tank

is hydraulically connected to each

other, the temperature of the ACCU tank

and the boiler rises to the desired temperature of

the boiler together. After

exceeding this temperature by 10°C, boiler goes into the

attenuaton (0% boiler output). In this mode, heating and charging ACCU tank

is

managed solely by means of pumps. The great advantage of this system control is that in

the attenuation mode, it is

possible at any time to add the fuel to the boiler, without

overheating of the ACCU tank

, which in practice increases the time between fuel loading.

The automatic re-heating up takes place only after the exhaustion of ACCU tank

at the

selected temperature MinT. ACCU tank

minimal temperature volume can be adjusted

from 20°C to 70°C. After burning out of fuel and decrease of chimney temperature to the

boiler set end

, the boiler will shut down. In a combined automatic boiler VIGAS 18 DPA,

after burning out of fuel "wood" boiler will automatically switch to fuel "pellets" and continue
heating another few days.
NOTE: For all hydraulic circuits with ACCU tank, there must be a thermometer for ACCU
tank (code 3032) connected to regulation AK4000 and its location to insert at the top of the
accu. tank.
