EKO Line boilers provide a convenient, safe and environmentally friendly way to heat your home and domestic hot water with wood. EKO boilers assure the independence and self-reliance that heating with wood provides.

Because the boilers use wood gasification combustion, they give unusually high overall heating efficiency. They use substantially less wood than conventional boilers and outdoor water stoves with no visible smoke when fully operating.

EKO boilers burn so clean, they are safer (virtually no risk of a chimney fire) and result in cleaner air for everyone. They also help to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions. EKO Line boilers enable you to increase the warm security of your home in a safe, environmentally responsible way.

Boiler Air Flow

Boiler construction - its elements

  • Sealed wood gasification chamber that is simultaneously used as a loading chamber. When appropriate amount of primary air supplied by the pressure fan is delivered, wood gas is generated
  • A nozzle, made of refractory concrete, mixes wood gases with the secondary air and a flammable mixture is produced that undergoes self-ignition at about 1000° F
  • Exhaust reheat space - the main combustion chamber, where temperature reaches about 2000° F serves also as an ash pit
  • A smoke tube heat exchanger (flue gas to water) heats up the installation water
  • A fan that communicates with the microchip controller monitors the quality of the whole burning process
  • Safe guard thermostat - each boiler is equipped with an additional safe guard thermostat, which switches off the fan while the water gets up to 180° F
  • Steel turbulators in heat exchanger tubes provide turbulent flue gas flow, which results in low flue temperature

Boiler construction - materials

  • Boiler body - boiler casing is made of welded metal sheets that are 1/4" thick
  • Heat exchanger - smoke tub heat exchanger made of tube with a 2" diameter
  • Insulation - boiler thermal insulation is composed of glass wool of Nobasil 1" thick, while the external casing consists of metal sheet panels 0.8mm thick (powder painted)
  • Nozzle - ceramic element made of refractory concrete (working temp. up to 2100° F)
  • Chimney flap - made of high quality steel. Tight flap adhesion to the combustion duct assures the burning chamber tightness
  • Boiler regulator - placed on upper boiler cover. The regulator is fixed to the boiler cover by spring catch
  • Chimney flue - 8 or 10" diameter, depending on the size of the boiler
  • Ash pit - steel bottom of the burning chamber, ceramic ash pit (working temp. 2100° F) and additionally covered by refractory concrete
  • Boiler door - produced of high quality steel, insulated with Nobasil thermal insulation and inside covered by refractory concrete layer. Also protected with heat-resisting fiberglass cord
