Atmos DC0044 Roof Tile, 700 mm

Product detailed description

700 mm roof tile for the DC50 series

The original DC0044 heat-resistant shaped part in the new design measures 700 mm. It fits in the lower chamber of three ATMOS wood gasification boilers.

Important when fitting: there must be no gap between the roof tile and the rear wall of the boiler – always push the part all the way back until it stops.

Frequently asked questions

• How do I choose the right output for a solid fuel boiler? Base it on the calculated heat loss of the heated building. With wood/coal boilers, however, also consider that the boiler burns for several hours on a single load at an essentially constant output - that is why it is common practice to add an accumulation tank to the boiler, which stores the surplus heat for later use instead of the boiler having to be throttled down inefficiently.
• What else do I need to install this boiler? Besides the boiler itself, the system usually requires: an accumulation (buffer) tank of suitable volume, a circulation pump (often already with a built-in Laddomat or a thermostatic valve protecting the boiler against low-temperature corrosion), a safety valve, an expansion vessel and a flue/chimney with sufficient draught matching the boiler output - you will find the exact chimney draught values in the technical parameters above.
• Which fuel is suitable and which is not? Use only the fuel recommended by the manufacturer for the given model (usually split logs of a defined length and moisture content, or brown coal briquettes or coal, depending on the boiler type) - unsuitable or overly moist fuel reduces efficiency, increases the formation of tar and deposits, and may damage the boiler.
• What about chimney inspection and legislation? Before the boiler is put into operation, and regularly during its use (usually once a year for solid fuels), the law requires the chimney to be inspected/cleaned by an authorised chimney sweep - without the relevant inspection report, an insurance claim in the event of a fire may be disputed.
• How much maintenance does the boiler require? It usually includes regular removal of ash and cleaning of the heat exchange surfaces/flue gas passages of soot (the interval depends on how intensively it is used, usually on the order of weeks), and a thorough check once a year, including the seals and the chimney.
• Can I install the boiler myself? The positioning of the boiler and its connection to the heating system, the chimney and the safety devices should be carried out, or at least checked, by a qualified heating technician - this is an appliance with an open fire, high temperatures and pressure components, where a wiring or connection error can pose a safety risk.
