Operating principle

Operating principle
The R3400/R3500/R3600 is a fully
modulating boiler. The control unit of
the boiler adapts the modulation ratio
automatically to the heat demand re-
quested by the system. This is done by
controlling the speed of the fan. As a
result, the Whirlwind mixing system will
adapt the gas ratio to the chosen fan
speed, in order to maintain the best
possible combustion figures and there-
with the best efficiency. The flue gases
created by the combustion are trans-
ported downwards through
4
34
the boiler and leave at the back side
into the chimney connection.
The return water from the system en-
ters the boiler in the lower section,
where is the lowest flue gas tempera-
ture in the boiler. In this section con-
densation takes place. The water is
being transported upwards through the
boiler, in order to leave the boiler at the
top (burner) section. The cross flow
working principle (water up, flue gas
down) ensures the most efficient com-
bustion results.

The KM628 control unit can control the
boiler operation based on:

fixed temperature (stand alone
operation);

weather compensated operation (with
optional controller);

with 0-10V external influence
(temperature or capacity) from a buil-
ding management system.
