PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The thermo-stoves is fuelled by pellets. These are little, cylindrical shapes of pressed wood whose combustion is controlled electroni-
cally. The heat produced by combustion is mainly transmitted to the water and partly emitted into the room by radiation.
The fuel tank (A) is located at the rear of the thermo-stoves. Filling the tank is through the back of the lid at the rear of the top.
The fuel (pellets) is taken from the storage tank (A) and, via an Archimedes' screw (B) activated by a gear motor (C), is transported into
a second Archimedes' screw (D) activated by a second gear motor (E) it is then transported to the combustion crucible (F).
The ignition of the pellet is via air heated by an electrical heating element (G) and is sucked into the crucible by a smoke extractor
(H). The combustion air is drawn into the room (where there must be an air intake) smoke extractor (H).
The smoke produced by combustion, is extracted from the thermo-stoves through the smoke extractor (H), and expelled from the pipe
union (I) located in the bottom portion of the rear of the thermo-stoves. The ash falls under and beside the crucible in which is hou-
sed an ash tray from which the ash must be periodically removed by vacuuming when cool.
The hot water produced by the thermo-stoves is transferred via a circulator built into the stove itself, to the heating system circuit.
The thermo-stoves also contains a built in kit for producing hot water.
The thermo-stoves is designed to function with closed expansion tank and pressure valve, both of which are built in. Fuel quantity,
smoke extraction/combustion air supply and pump activation are regulated by the control board, which is equipped with Leonardo®
software to achieve high combustion efficiency and low emissions.
The synoptic panel (L)(on the front for Montreal / Miami / Ottawa /Atlanta) is installed on the top, through which all phases of ope-
ration can be displayed and controlled. The main phases can even be handled by radio control (Ottawa / Atlanta model) and remote
control (Quebec / Toronto / Montreal / Detroit / Boston / Miami models). Aserial port is found at the back of the thermo-stoves (optio-
nal cable: code 640560) to be connected to devices that allow remote ignition (e.g. remote telephone, local thermostat).
Operating modes
(for further details, please see page 42)
The temperature of the water required in the system is set via the panel (standard recommendation 70° C) and the stove manually or
automatically modulates the power to maintain or reach this temperature. The Eco function can be enabled in small systems (the ther-
mo-stoves shuts down and goes on again according to the water temperature required).

NOTE regarding the fuel.
The pellet thermal stoves are designed and programmed to burn wood pellets, 6 mm in diameter.
Pellets are a type of fuel made from compacted sawdust and chopped waste wood, compressed under high pressure with no adhe-
sives or foreign materials. They are small in size, approximately 6 mm in diameter and have a cylindrical shape.
They are sold in bags of 15 kg.
For the thermal thermo-stoves to function properly, you MUST NOT burn anything else in it.
Using other materials (including wood) will render the warranty null and void. Such use is detected by laboratory analyses.
Edilkamin has designed, tested and programmed their stoves to guarantee the best performance when pellets with the following
characteristics are used:
diameter: 6 millimetres;
maximum length: 40 mm;
maximum moisture content: 8 %;
calorific value: at least 4300 kcal/kg
Using unsuitable pellets may: decrease efficiency; cause malfunctions; stop the stove from functioning due to clogging, dirt on the
glass, unburnt fuel, etc.
