Preparation for kindling

For coal heating equipment to be safe and effective, you need to pay attention to the following points:

If the boiler or stove is rarely used (for example, seasonally), then before using it you need to make sure that there are no masonry cracks. Even small cracks in the structure of the stove are a wide path for the release of carbon monoxide into the room, where it can seriously harm the people present there. To get rid of this problem, all cracks must be covered with a mixture of sand and clay before melting a solid fuel boiler.
Before melting the boiler with coal, you need to inspect it visually. There should be no flammable objects near the heating equipment. The inner surfaces of the structure must be cleaned. It is advisable to wipe the firebox with a dry cloth so that the burning dust does not emit an unpleasant odor that gets into the room.
Coal stoves need to be heated several times a day, and the duration of each kindling should not be more than two hours (in more detail: "How to heat a stove with coal and which coal is better"). For heating, dry coal of the middle fraction is best suited.
To ignite coal equipment, you cannot use various flammable waste and liquids such as kerosene. In addition, the stove must be supervised during the combustion process, especially if there are animals or children in the house.

The described moments are not particularly difficult and make it possible to make the operation of boiler equipment safe.

Review of the boiler Zota

We hardly found a review on the Zota Pellet Pro boiler, this is due to the fact that it is usually installed by commercial organizations, and company employees rarely write reviews about the work done.

We purchased a 160 kW Zota Pellet pellet boiler, the need was for heating the school.Our region is far from the gas main, so there are not many options left: either a gas tank or a long-burning solid fuel. The diesel fuel boiler was discarded immediately, firstly, the supply hoses freeze, and secondly, it is too flammable to keep a supply of fuel near children. We opted for Zota pellets, mounted without any problems. The object is heated for the second winter, no problems arise. True, the local janitor was charged with regular cleaning. The price for heating is comparable to a gas boiler if a gas tank was installed, but there the initial costs are higher. So, I advise you to consider if there is no gas nearby. ch. engineer Semyon Vasilievich, Tashtypsky district, Republic of Khakassia

In fact, the industrial boiler Zota Pellet Pro finds its place in the central regions everywhere, even where there is gas, but access to it is limited for various reasons. So it can be: a roadside cafe, a car wash, a car service and much more. There is a video review of one such complex on the YouTube channel:

Since the Zota boiler is provided with highly intelligent electronic control, we strongly advise you to use the UPS for the boiler when connecting. Carefully study the list of service services available for your area, this will help solve many problems in difficult times and will not become a headache in finding spare parts.

Model reviews

After reading the owners' reviews of the Magna brand "Zota" boiler, you can understand whether you should purchase this model of equipment. Consumers emphasize that the device can be optionally made more functional. Another advantage is the semi-automatic operation. An additional source of energy can be electricity.

Fuel loading is done manually, while combustion is supported by a fan. The control module and sensors are a standard part of the boiler, which allows you to control and maintain the combustion process. The owners' comments on the "Zota" Magna boiler indicate that the design of the unit is original and allows one to solve one of the main problems of semiautomatic devices, which is expressed in reaching the normal combustion mode. Within just one hour, the boiler will reach its nominal operating mode. At the same time, at the rated power, the device will work for 12 hours, while the continuous mode works up to 32 hours.
