Open combustion chamber boiler - this is a type of heating boiler, in which the combustion process of fuel occurs in an open chamber that has direct communication with the surrounding air. To maintain combustion, such a boiler takes air directly from the room in which it is installed.
Boiler with open combustion chamber: features
- Air intake from the room:
- Open combustion chamber boilers use room air for the combustion process, which requires a constant supply of fresh air and good ventilation.
- Natural draft chimney:
- To remove combustion products (flue gases), such boilers usually use an atmospheric chimney, where the gases are removed by natural draft. This makes them dependent on the height and design of the chimney.
- Less secure than a closed chamber:
- Since combustion air comes from the room, there is a risk of combustion products (such as carbon monoxide) being drawn back into the room if there is insufficient ventilation or problems with the chimney.
- Simple design and low cost:
- Such boilers are simpler in design and installation, which makes them more affordable, but they require proper organization of the ventilation and smoke removal system.
- Less energy efficiency:
- Open chamber boilers are generally less energy efficient than closed chamber boilers because heat is lost through the vents and chimney.
Open combustion chamber boiler Often used in older heating systems or in rooms where effective ventilation is easy to arrange. However, in modern installations they are replaced by safer and more efficient boilers with a closed combustion chamber and forced draft.
