Gasifying boiler Vigas
1. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
VIGAS thermal boilers are designed for the combustion of dry wood materials, using sawdust to wood logs
according to the dimensions of the gasification chamber, with a maximum diameter of 20 cm. Sawdust,
woodchips, splinters and cuttings must be burned in conjunction with wood logs. Thermal boiler VIGAS 29
UD is designed to burn brown coal. It is possible to use dry wooden material as a substitute fuel.
Boilers are welded from 4 – 6 mm steel sheets. Inner boiler sheets, which are in contact with boiler waste
gases, are 6 mm thick, others are made of 4 mm steel.
The heat exchanger is welded from steel pipes, 57x4,5 mm. Exterior boiler panels are made of 0,8 mm
sheet. Thermal insulation of the boiler is made of insulation material, NOBASIL 20 and 50 mm thickness.
Combustion gases pass through the steel boiler neck to the chimney.
The boiler space consists of a combustion chamber, where fuel is dried and gasified. Then accrued gases
pass through the fireproof concrete nozzle or a cast iron nozzle into the combustion chamber, where it
burns with the help of secondary air. Flue gases are intensively cooled in the exchanger. The boiler has
a light up damper controlled by a lever at the front of the boiler.
In order that the boiler complies with the requirements for non-demanding operations, it is equipped with an
AK4000 control located on the top panel of the boiler. The design of the system allows very effective
combustion of various kinds of fuel. The AK4000 Control with graphical display in basic configuration offers
the following:
controlled temperature of heated water ranging from 70 - 85°C (up to 90°C with accu. tank)
continuous and automatic control of the fan according to required output and type of fuel
connnection to and control of discharge fan
connection to and control of circulation pump
connection to the gases thermometer
connection to room thermostat (room temperature regulator is voltage free )
connection to extended regulation (Expander AK 4000) via BH BUS
connection to module AK 4000M data back-up, followed by PC evaluation
graphical schematic indicating hydraulic boiler connection as requested
real time set
Configuration VIGAS
Lambda Control
offers :
control of the servo flap of primary and secondary air, based on data received from the lambda
sensor oxygen level reading.
during a power cut, AA batteries will close the servo-operated flap and this prevents draught from
the chimney burning up the fuel.
The boilers are equipped with a STB thermal fuse, which disconnects the boiler fan if overheating occurs
(above 100°C). A safety mechanism to prevent the boiler from overheating is a requirement of the STN EN
303-5: 2012 standard. It is recommended to install a safety valve TS 131 ¾“ in the exchanger to avoid
overheating.

3. DESCRIPTION OF AK4000 CONTROL
3.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please check the protective cover panels before you plug-in the power lead
Avoid any contact of the power lead with hot parts of the boiler (e.g. smoke flue).
Make sure that upper insulation under the panel remains dry (risk of short circuit if damp)
Do not put any stress on power lead.
Always disconnect the power lead when new electrical components are being connected to the
boiler (eg indoor room thermostat, discharge fan, circulation pump...)
Do not remove the protective cover panels, and particularly the fan cover panel, when the boiler is
in operation.
Check if the voltage displayed on the label is same as your distribution network.
Always keep to the terms of use
3.2 CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
AK 4000 Control is an integral part of VIGAS boilers.
The control is connected when the power lead is plugged into a 220/230V power supply. The visual display
with basic image is active when the power lead is plugged-in (pic.4). Servo-flap used in VIGAS
Lambda Control
is set to basic position (pic.5).
3.3 SERVICE CONDITIONS
AK4000 Control is designed for operation within a temperature range from +5°C up to +45°C. The Control
cannot be used in a moist environment or in direct sunlight.
3.4 MAINTENANCE OF AK4000 CONTROL
Keep in a clean and dust free environment. Anti-static cloths or wet wipes are recommended to wipe-off
dust and impurities from metal covers and the control panel.
3.5 CONTROL PANEL
Part of the electronic control panel is equipped with buttons, visual display and schematics. Further

4. BASIC CONFIGURATION OF VIGAS BOILER WITHOUT
EXHAUST FAN
The advantage of the exhaust gas thermometer is to control the maximum exhaust gas temperature, and when this is
reached by the boiler, a fan will come into operation to lower the engine RPM. This results in higher boiler efficiency
and lower fuel consumption. If installed with an accumulator tank, the thermometer will shut down the boiler when fuel
is burned down. The water temperature inside the boiler and accumulator tank has no influence on boiler shut down.

(without lambda sensor)
The advantage of a discharge fan installation is increased comfort during boiler open burn and refuelling
stages. The discharge fan helps to significantly reduce flue gas and smoke escape in the surrounding area
during the refuelling stage. The discharge fan helps to quickly start the fire.
