INDOOR BOILER with VISIBLE FIRE - Biomass, Cordwood & Anthracite Coal

The Hydro-to-Heat-Convertor™ is a revolutionary total combustion system, made in Burlington-Massachusetts, designed to convert solid fuels (wood, coal, Futurex, cokes, charcoal, paper, combustible waste, etc.) into useful heating energy while guaranteeing maximum efficiency, comfort and safety.

Schema 1:
Hydro-to-Heat Convertor in combination with existing central hydronic baseboard system

The Hydro-to-Heat-Convertor™ is basically a freestanding stove or fire place insert which generates cosy radiant and convection heat. Most of the valuable energy is recovered via the internal heat recovery system that allows water to be circulated to a central heating system. The Hydro-to-Heat-Convertor™ can work stand-alone or in combination with an existing central heating system or warm water boiler.

The Hydro-to-Heat-Convertor™ uses an thermostatic firing control or aquastat to adjust combustion air supply in relation to the desired, pre-set, water outlet temperature, and as such automatically adapts to the type of fuel being used and the varying heat consumption of your home's central heating system.

The Hydro-to-Heat-Convertor's combustion is the result of intensive research that has led to an almost ideal combustion with an optimum fuel-to-air ratio. The primary and secondary air is controlled separately and continuously adjusted in relation to the amount of fuel being burnt. The specially designed grate remains relatively cold at all times and is able to withstand virtually all types of fuel thanks to its intense cooling. As such, it ensures a slower combustion reaction with unique thermal characteristics. All this results in a total and environmentally friendly combustion.

The Hydro-to-Heat-Convertor's special combustion technique results in extremely high temperatures, what allows for extremely high heat recovery rate. By providing a very large heat-exchanging surface (approx. 3 m2) at the hottest areas (base and peaks of the flames) it becomes possible to judiciously recover the enormous amount of heat being generated by the fire by means of the internal heat recovering system. The heat recovery system is equipped with a barometric draft regulator that allows on-site adjustment of the Hydro-to-Heat-Convertor to the natural chimney draft.

Schema 2:
Hydro-to-Heat Convertor stand-alone system

The Hydro-to-Heat-Convertor's patented adjustable heat recovery system ensures that almost none of the valuable energy escapes. The result is an extremely economical heating appliance that achieves an hitherto unknown efficiency of up to 94%.
The Hydro-to-Heat-Convertor™ has in fact such a high heat output that it can be used to heat your entire home as well as provide you with plenty of hot water (41.000 BTU to 199.000 BTU, what is equivalent with 12 to 70 kW).

The Hydro-to-Heat-Convertor™ can easily operate in continuous mode.

The Hydro-to-Heat-Convertor™ is protected by a thermal protection valve and an automatic cold water supply system that protects the heating appliance in case of power failure, faulty circulator, improper use, etc… .
The Hydro-to-Heat-Convertor™ is also equipped with an overpressure protection safety valve, although the solid construction of the recovery element enables it to withstand extreme pressure loads, so that maximum safety is guaranteed at all times.

In the event of a too high water temperature, the air supply will be automatically shut off to calm down the fire by means of the aquastat mechanism.

The Hydro-to-Heat-Convertor's control system and the protection system remain active at all times; during a power failure and even in case of improper use or when the control systems and/or the protection systems are disabled.

The Hydro-to-Heat-Convertor's scientifically based design and the use of superior materials guarantee a product of exceptional quality, what is also easy in maintenance and easy to service. All versions of the Hydro-to-Heat-Convertor feature a removable heat recovery system.
