BAXI S.p.A. BAXI introduces on the American market cast iron solid fuel boilers of the series
BPI-Eco
for use with wood or coal. The product line consists of 5 models with capacities from 25 to 65 kW.
Main features of boilers BAXI BPI-Eco
Highly ductile cast iron heat exchanger and high performance combustion chamber provides a wide output range when operating on solid fuels. Deep firebox allows the use of wood up to 70 cm in length. Thanks to the wide doors, access to the furnace and convection ducts is very easy, which is a definite advantage for boiler maintenance.
Primary air for combustion is regulated by the installed thermostatic valve. The secondary air is regulated by a special round hatch. Cast iron heat exchanger has a small resistance, so it is not required to install a powerful pump. Reliable, tried and tested design and a large water capacity makes the boiler BPI-Eco ideal for solid fuel operation.
