Eco-HK

This is what makes it unique

The wood chip boilers from the Eco series are the right choice for all applications that already require a medium to higher heating output. In cascade, i.e. up to six boilers connected in series, an output of up to 2 MW is possible. This is heating technology equipped with many energy-saving extras, so that heat can be produced with reduced emissions and at low cost when energy demands are higher. The “Ecos” stand for effective and efficient heating.

Energy-saving
Eco operation

Speed-controlled EC exhaust fan
with negative pressure control

Hargassner uses energy-saving EC exhaust fans in its Eco-HK boilers. The crucial advantage of this GreenTech EC technology is the electric speed control, which significantly reduces electricity consumption (up to 80% less electricity). The negative pressure unit constantly measures the pressure conditions in the combustion chamber. The Lambda Touchtronic uses this data to control the speed of the exhaust fan, thus keeping the negative pressure at an ideal level. This concept ensures combustion with the lowest possible emissions and therefore maximum efficiency.

Energy-saving fuel extraction

Thanks to a low drive output of just 0.18 kW (0.25 – 0.55 kW for 70 – 330 kW boilers) and a robust, high-efficiency spur gear, the fuel extraction system saves a huge amount of energy. Savings of up to 67% can be achieved here. With the excellent gear efficiency of over 90%, it clearly outperforms conventional worm gears.

Energy-saving ignition

Two ignition elements are installed in the Eco-HK 130330 series. Thanks to the design of this ignition element, the power consumption has been reduced to just 300 watts (up to 1,000 watts less) and, at the same time, the efficiency of the ignition process has been increased.

  • Energy savings of over 88%
  • Smart ignition monitoring
  • Silent operation

Convenient operation with different fuels

One boiler – three options

The rotary grates are positioned one behind the other with a “step” between them and can be moved independently of each other. As a result, pellets, various types of wood chips and even agricultural fuels such as miscanthus can be burned easily and conveniently.

Strong step grate

Closed grates in the combustion chamber with a high firebed – optimises the gasification process and minimises micro-dust emissions.

During the heating cycle, only the rear rotary grate is opened during the de-ash process. The ash falls down, the residual embers remain and enable further combustion of the newly extracted fuel.

The combustion chamber is cleaned completely before the boiler is restarted. Both grates open (rotate 360 °) and cold ashes and foreign bodies such as stones and nails are disposed of.

For fuel with a very low ash melting point, the rotary grate’s special “breaker function” will break the clinker.

The future of heating

Eco-HK

Fully refractory-lined combustion chamber
with standard recirculation

The refractory combustion chamber’s special storage effect guarantees high combustion temperatures (even for partial load), minimises the number of times the boiler has to be ignited and reduces emissions. Every Eco-HK has flue gas recirculation integrated as standard to combat ash clinkering caused by dry fuel or fuel with a low ash melting point. The residues can be disposed of via the ash extraction system without any problems, because the cooling of the firebed means that even low ash melting points of low-grade fuels are not yet reached.

Optimised cleaning
for high convenience

ALL heat exchanger tubes – including the first pass – are cleaned at regular intervals. The edges of the auger turbulators efficiently remove any fly ash residue from the boiler pipes and this drops straight onto the ash auger. Both the fly ash and the grate ash are transported into a fully integrated ash box by just one ash extraction auger. The residues are crushed as they are being transported and then compacted in the box, resulting in increased annual efficiency and a higher degree of cleaning convenience. With Eco-HK 20 – 230 kW, only one drive is required for heat exchanger cleaning and ash extraction.

Eco fuel extraction system from Hargassner

Thanks to a low drive output of just 0.18 kW/0.24 kW (for 70 – 330 kW: 0.24 – 0.38 kW) and a robust, high-efficiency spur gear, the fuel extraction system saves a huge amount of energy and therefore lowers electricity costs. You can save as much as 67% in electricity costs compared to those for conventional fuel extraction systems. With the excellent gear efficiency of over 90%, it clearly outperforms conventional worm gears. The new modular design ensures that the auger, along with its trough and removable cover, is easy to use.
