Equipment designed to control a solid fuel heating station

The control equipment presented in this paper is a simple, reliable solution, for controlling a solid fuel gasification boiler. It is meant for out-of-way houses, where it can increase the level of heating and the heating station efficiency. Beside the inbuilt control system which controls the two fans, we designed and manufactured another one to command the recirculation and the by-pass pumps, depending on the fuel temperature and the house heating needs. In order to keep the equipment working when the electric energy supply brakes down, a non-interruptible power source is necessary. We used two batteries loaded by a solar panel. The paper describes the components and the running mode of the heating station control equipment. It already works with very good results concerning the heating parameters and the solid fuel consumption was lower than before. So, using such a device turned to be convenient both from economic and safety point of view.
