Knob

Product detailed description

Knob S0032 for thermostats on the ATMOS boiler panel

Code S0032 designates a control knob that fits onto the thermostats in the control panel of an ATMOS boiler. By turning the knob, the user sets the required value on the relevant thermostat. The part belongs to the group of control panel spare parts, i.e. thermostats and switches.

Which thermostats it fits

• flue gas thermostat,
• boiler control thermostat (operating thermostat),
• pump control thermostat.

Important notice

The thermostats are sold without this knob, so if you need it, order it separately under code S0032. Before ordering, check which type of ATMOS boiler you have and which thermostat on the panel you want to fit it to.

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 during a single load the boiler burns for several hours at essentially constant output - which is why it is common practice to combine the boiler with an accumulation tank, 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 generally 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 log wood of defined length and moisture content, or brown coal briquettes or coal depending on the boiler type) - unsuitable or overly damp 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 authorised chimney sweep is required by law - without the relevant inspection certificate, 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 of soot (the interval depends on intensity of use, usually in 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 and connection of the boiler to the heating system, the chimney and the safety components 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 mistake in the connection can pose a safety risk.
