Atmos DC0183 Firebox Side Brick

Product detailed description

Ceramic firebox side piece DC0183 for the upper loading chamber

The code DC0183 designates an original ceramic firebox side piece from ATMOS. The part belongs to the group of upper loading chamber ceramics, where it surrounds the firebox space.

Mind the chamber depth

The DC70GSX boiler is also made with an 800mm deep chamber. DC0183 is not suitable for this version; you need the firebox side piece DC0211.

Before ordering, therefore, check the exact boiler type and the depth of its chamber.

Frequently asked questions

• How do I choose the right output for a solid fuel boiler? Start from the calculated heat loss of the heated building, but with wood/coal boilers also consider that during a single charge the boiler burns for several hours at essentially constant output - which is why it is common practice to add a buffer tank to the boiler, which stores the excess 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: a buffer (accumulation) 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 logs of a defined length and moisture content, or brown coal briquettes or coal depending on the boiler type) - unsuitable or too wet fuel reduces efficiency, increases the formation of tar and deposits and may damage the boiler.
• What about the chimney inspection and legislation? Before the boiler is put into operation, and also regularly during its use (usually once a year for solid fuels), an inspection/cleaning of the chimney by an authorized chimney sweep is required by law - without the relevant inspection document, an insurance claim in the event of a fire may also 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 from soot (the interval depends on the intensity of use, usually in the order of weeks), and a thorough annual inspection including the seals and the chimney.
• Can I install the boiler myself? The positioning and connection of the boiler to the heating system, the chimney and the safety components should be carried out, or at least professionally checked, by a heating technician - it is an appliance with an open fire, high temperatures and pressure components, where a connection error can pose a safety risk.
