The objective of a heat generator is to supply the energy necessary to the rooms to maintain conditions of maximum comfort inside them: this means supplying the rooms, through the system, with the same amount of heat that the building loses . In new buildings, the regulations increasingly require greater insulation and consequently less dispersion. Usually there is a tendency to oversize heat generators to favor the production of sanitary water: this leads to an excess of power in heating which, together with the poor modulation capacity of traditional boilers, causes discontinuous functioning and therefore waste of fuel. Discontinuous processes generate energy losses (heat dispersion caused by the pre-washing of the combustion chamber, component wear caused by continuous on-off, decrease in generator efficiency). The modulation system of the Platinum+ range is able to adapt the thermal power produced to the effective power dissipated by the building, avoiding excessive overheating/cooling of the rooms.
Wide modulation range
Reduction of on-off cycles
The graph shown above highlights the reduction in on/off cycles which distinguishes the new Platinum+ boilers with modulation up to 1:10 compared to a condensing boiler with lower modulation. The reduction of the on/offs determines an improvement in the efficiency of the boiler and consequently a considerable saving for the end user. Standard condensing boilers, on the other hand, with a limited modulation range work at a minimum power level above 6 kW; this allows it to avoid the on/off cycles for only 3% of the period of operation in heating, compromising the performance of the boiler and the life of the components.
The electronics and the gas valve with stepper motor that the new Platinum+ boilers are equipped with guarantee automatic combustion control which is based on:
GAC via the flame signal
The system continuously measures the flame signal during boiler operation and adjusts the gas flow rate in order to keep the combustion quality constant and all this without requiring any additional component inside the combustion chamber.
Installers and end users enjoy the following benefits of the GAC:
- The automatic combustion control favors a reduction in installation times as no manual adjustment of the gas valve or nozzle change is required: in fact, it is sufficient to manually modify some parameters of the electronic board for operation with LPG
- The boiler self-adapts to the quality of the gas and the length of the flue gas outlets: this means that there are no manual adjustments to make
- High modulation field 1:10: high efficiency and savings, since such a wide modulation field determines a greater adaptability of the boiler to the thermal dispersions of the building to obtain a higher efficiency and greater durability of the components. The reduction of the on/off cycles, in addition to the greater efficiency, guarantees less noise produced by the boiler
- Unlike traditional condensing boilers, the boiler always works adjusted to maximum efficiency values favoring a reduction in gas consumption and consequently a lower environmental impact thanks to the control of CO/CO emissions
The term Power set identifies the heating power regulation process according to the project data.
The thermal capacity of the boiler, through the Power set device, is adjusted according to the energy requirement: just act on the control panel to adjust some parameters
Silence is the relative or absolute absence of sound or noise. The noise level of the Luna Platinum+ boiler is comparable to a normal conversation
The electronic pressure transducer in the hydraulic unit allows you to check the pressure directly on the display. Double alarm level in the event of low pressure: a "warning" level in the event of low pressure in the boiler; a "block" level in the event of a lack of pressure
Baxi has developed a system that allows easy ducting into existing flues thanks to a Ø50 mm exhaust pipe (for 24kW models).
