99kW Hargassner ECO-PK

Introducing the new 99kW Hargassner ECO-PK

New to the UK and Ireland in November 2014

Designed with efficiency and ease of use in mind, the 99kW Hargassner ECO-PK includes the latest biomass boiler technology available - the Hargassner ECO range of boilers won the 'Energy Genius' award from the Austrian Ministry of the Environment. 

If you are installing a 99kW in Northern Ireland, to avail of the government Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), make sure you install a system that will last. The 20 year RHI is linked to the boiler itself - protect your payments and install a Hargassner.

Available across Ireland from Green Energy Technology Ltd. this cutting edge wood pellet boiler (and its wood chip version ECO-HK) has a substantial amount of unique, patented features. We estimate that these features, over the lifetime of the Renewable Heat Incentive, could save the owner over £4,000 in electrical running costs alone - compared to Hargassner competitors.

Double Rotary Grate (1)

The 'stage crusher grate' is the best method for cleaning the burning grate without disruption to combustion. During the combustion the grates are moved accurately, to ensure a homogeneous fire-bed. This double rotary grate is unique to Hargassner.

Firebed height monitoring system with sensors    (2)

Combined with a lambda sensor for fuel quality detection, resulting in the lowest carbon monoxide values, and lowest dust emissions. Hargassner boilers are UK Clean Air Act Exempt. Only Hargassner offer firebed level monitoring as standard.

Heat exchanger cleaning in the first pass   (3)

The Hargassner cleaning system cleans all areas where soot and fly ash can built up - even in the first pass (unlike the majority of competitor boilers). This mechanism creates a more efficient heat exchanger as the boiler is cleaner, and the gas flow is slower.

External soot collection   (4)

Option to add a large soot collector and increase emptying intervals

The silent energy saving ignition (5) only requires 300W, unlike other boiler ignitions which require over 1.3kW. 

Integrated touch controller    (6)

The 5.7” screen with touch controller allows the user to easily see the boiler status, and change settings. 

The EC exhaust gas fan (7) has up to 90% efficiency and is only available from Hargassner. Read more about the EC fan here: EC Exhaust Gas Fan

Flue gas re-circulation as standard    (8)

This helps control combustion temperatures and reduce NOx formation. It reduces the temperature of the grate to help prevent the formation of slag, and give a more even distribution of the fires heat. A cleaner and more complete combustion.

Integrated back-end protection   (9)

The pump, mixing valve and actuator needed to protect the boiler now comes integrated. This compact solution reduces the space required and speeds up installation time.

Patented ash and fly ash removal system   (10)

The ash extracting auger transports the fly ash and also the grate ash into the ash box. On the way to the ash box all the ash is compacted to a quarter of its volume - thereby saving space and lengthening emptying intervals.

No thermal safety valve required  (11) 

Speeding up installation time and cost

Combustion chamber surrounded by water  (12)

Maximum heat transfer and boiler control

Flame concentration jets out of high-end steel cast section   (13)

Double rotary valve dispenser (18) with cyclone suction system (14)

The unique double rotary valve allows continuous combustion even during pellet suction. The double valve provides a complete air lock between the combustion chamber and pellet hopper. The sound proofed suction system (15) with pellet level indicator (16) allows the end-user to place their wood pellet store up to 20 metres away. The suction system is closed and maintenance free (no filters).

Stainless steel stoker auger   (17)

One motor for everything

Boiler cleaning, fly ash transport, grate ash removal and ash transport to ash box is all handled by one drive motor. This is a single maintenance-free gear motor. This not only reduces the number of electrical components and increases operating reliability; it also saves on electrical consumption.

Hargassner App

Hargassner is the only manufacturer in this boiler class to have a dedicated and fully functioning iPhone and Android app to allow remote access. Other manufacturers produce apps that simply direct the user to a website. 

·         Switch circuits on/off and reduce temperature

·         Change heating times

·         Activate holiday mode

·         Status updates via notifications or email

·         Unlimited users

·         Worldwide access to heating system

·         Easy and intuitive

Fully refractory-lined combustion chamber

Hargassner boilers are fully refractory lined with high density bricks. Refractory has proven itself as the best material available in terms of heat storage, function and durability. The result is, even at partial loads, optimal combustion and fewer ignitions.

Negative pressure sensor to monitor under/over pressure events

Boilers without negative pressure monitoring cannot detect blockages in the heat exchanger. In addition, exhaust gas and combustion air fans do not speed up nor slow down in relation to the pressure inside the boiler - making other boilers less efficient. 

Standard warranty of 5 years, option to extend up to 10 years

NI Renewable Heat Premium Payment Scheme Launched

Starting today Northern Ireland householders will be able to obtain support towards the costs of installing a renewable energy heating system in their homes. Green Energy Technology can offer the full range of grants to their customer. Green Energy Technology is one of the only companies that can offer grants on all these technologies.

Technology	Support per unit (£) in a dwelling
Air Source Heat Pump	1700
Biomass boiler	2500
Ground Source or Water Source Heat Pump	3500
Solar Thermal	320

Launching the scheme, Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster said the move will offer local people real choice when it comes to heating their homes.

Arlene Foster said: "Although many householders have had the option of natural gas for a number of years not all can avail of this low carbon fossil fuel. This new scheme will allow all private sector domestic energy consumers to obtain generous financial support towards installing biomass boilers, heat pumps and thermal solar panels in place of existing fossil fuel heating systems.

Green Energy Technology are accredited installers for this scheme - we can provide you with quotes and advice.

Why choose the Ecodan air source heat pump

Many have heard of ground source heat pumps and the high efficiency levels they can offer but few have realised that air source heat pumps can also offer higher levels of efficiency* when compared to traditional methods of heating our homes.

Air source heat pumps are much easier to install than ground source so they are more suitable for a wide variety of properties from flats to detached houses.

The Ecodan air source heat pump system consists of an external box which is fitted to your outside wall.  It harvests renewable, low grade energy from the outdoor air and upgrades this into useful heat to supply a home with hot water and heating.

The Ecodan heat pump unit (i.e. the outdoor part of the Ecodan heating system) can work all year round even if the outdoor temperature should drop -10ºC.

The Ecodan range of air source heat pump systems have been developed by Mitsubishi Electric specifically for the UK and Ireland and bring advanced, inverter-driven technology refined in the commercial heating sector to your home.

The Ecodan Top Five

1. Low running costs

• Helps end user with increasing energy costs
• Savings of over 30%** can be made compared to other fuel types

2. 30 - 50%*** reduction in CO2 emissions per year

• Achieves Level 3 of the Code For Sustainable Homes
• Comply with all future regulations
• Appealing to environmentally concerned individuals

3. Reduced VAT from 20% to 5%

• Reduced VAT on equipment & installation fee’s
• Only by using VAT registered AEIs 

4. Low noise Mode available

• 40-46 dba in Low Noise mode - market leader
• Less disturbance so can be closer to house

5. More efficient space heating on FTC3

• Ideal for under floor heating or low temperature radiators
• New improved heating control mode saves energy

* Efficiency comparison and any energy saving will depend on comparison with your current heating system, satisfactory system design and installation, and operational settings i.e. how you use the heating system.
** Savings are dependant on age and type of boiler being replaced. Also dependant on local gas and electric tariffs.
