5. Materials of the recuperators
The interior of the combustion chamber of these recuperators is made of high-quality
carbon steel sheet with a thickness of 5 mm;
In the ECOFOGO ECO, MYTHO ECO and ACQUA ECO models, the door is made of 2.5
mm plate, in the ACQUA ECO PV and MYTHO ECO PV models with 3.0 mm. In the ZAIMA
ECO model, the door and rim are made of cast iron. The ash drawer on all models is
1.5mm. In the ACQUA ECO, ACQUA ECO PV, MYTHO ECO and MYTHO ECO PV models, the
door has a screen-printed glass-ceramic glass on the outside;
The models ECOFOGO ECO, MYTHO ECO, MYTHO ECO PV, ZAIMA ECO, ACQUA ECO
and ACQUA ECO PV have a heat-resistant glass-ceramic glass. This type of glass can
withstand temperatures of up to 750°C in continuous use;
The hydraulic connections are made of steel, 4 1" female bonds and 2 3/4" female
bonds;
The paint contains paint resistant to temperature peaks of up to 900°C, and to service
temperatures of about 600°C;
In the ECOFOGO ECO, MYTHO ECO, MYTHO ECO PV, ZAIMA ECO, ACQUA ECO and
ACQUA ECO PV models, the combustion chamber is coated with a heat-resistant material
(vermiculite). The lateral insulation, the back, the bottom of the deflectors are of
vermiculite, a material classified as a mineral of the hydro silicate group, resistant to
temperatures of about 1,100 °C. Due to its insulating characteristics, vermiculite allows
a better use of heat, an increase in temperature inside the chamber and cleaner
combustion (with a lower proportion of CO), as well as greater protection of the steel plate
from which the combustion chamber is made, thus prolonging the life of the recuperator;
The models ECOFOGO ECO, MYTHO ECO, MYTHO ECO PV, ZAIMA ECO, ACQUA ECO
and ACQUA ECO PV have a side cover, which allows the installation of an anti-packaging
kit (sold separately).
Installation instructions for this kit can be found in section 6.5 Installation of the anti-
packaging kit.
