Thermostream technology
Thermostream technology achieves increased protection
against condensation and even temperature distribution
in the boiler. It works with any return temperature and
heating water flow rate, however low.
High seasonal efficiency [to DIN]
The heating surfaces designed for optimum efficiency,
combined with the high grade thermal insulation, achieve
excellent heat transfer and low flue gas losses. The result
is standard seasonal efficiency [to DIN] of up to 96 %.
High operational reliability
The required operational reliability and long boiler service
life are the result of high grade material, the optimised
combustion chamber, special flow technology for the
return water and a low temperature drop inside the boiler.
Environmentally responsible with low emissions
Ideal conditions for clean combustion, especially in
conjunction with the matching low emissions burners,
thanks to the 3-pass principle and water-cooled
combustion chamber with direct heating surfaces.
Cost savings
Fuel cost savings as a result of economical low
temperature heating operation with no required low end
temperature for night setback. The cost of investing in and
operating a shunt pump is saved due to thermostream
technology.

The Ecostream cast iron boilers Logano GE315, GE515
and GE615 are tested to EN 303, type-tested and CE-
designated. Quality assurance measures to
DIN ISO 9001 and EN 29001 contribute to the high
manufacturing quality and functional reliability.
All Ecostream cast iron boilers are made from Buderus
special GL 180 M grey cast iron which is resistant to
corrosion and high temperatures. They are designed for
thermostream technology. This is why they are suitable as
low temperature boilers for modulating operation with no
minimum start temperature.
Ecostream cast iron boilers feature all-round thermal
insulation and painted casing (RAL 5015). The thermal
insulation on the Logano GE315 and GE515 cast iron
boilers is 80 mm thick, and on the Logano GE615 cast
iron boilers is 100 mm thick. The combustion chamber
and the secondary heating surfaces are easily accessible
through large front doors that can be pivoted to the left or
right.
The boilers are supplied either in individual sections
(Æ Fig. 41) or as a pre-assembled boiler block.

2.2 Thermostream technology of the Ecostream cast iron boilers


2.2.1 Function principle
Thermostream technology is based on the mixing of cold In steady operation, the surface temperatures on the hot
return water with hot flow water inside the boiler. Return gas side are above the dew point of the hot gases. No
temperature raising takes place in the upper section of the condensate is formed in the combustion chamber or
boiler. The return water therefore reaches a higher secondary heating surfaces. As a consequence,

Thermostream technology means the boiler is
constructed with single-skin direct heating surfaces,
making it extremely compact.

2.2.2 Structural features

Heating water routing


With the Ecostream cast iron boilers Logano GE315,
GE515 and GE615, the flow and return are arranged at
the back of the boiler, at the top. A special feed pipe is
integrated into the top hubs of the boiler sections, into
which cold return water flows. This construction provides
hydraulic separation of the flow and return water. For
every boiler section, there are generally two symmetrical
holes positioned at the sides of the feed pipe. A regulated
volume of return water is therefore supplied evenly to the
boiler sections (Æ Fig. 3)

A water guide element is moulded into every boiler
section below the top hub. This means rising hot boiler
water is channelled around the feed pipe to the outside.
Inflowing return water mixes with the hot boiler water. The
injection effect improves the mixing. In this way, the

heating surfaces are shielded from the cold return water.

The boiler water is heated by the inner heat transfer
surfaces (combustion chamber and secondary heating

and flows towards the inner heating surface (Æ Fig. 4).

hot gases leave the combustion chamber by the back
boiler section, where they are re-routed to the front. They
then flow through the secondary heating surfaces of the
second hot gas flue. After being reversed again between
the front section and front door of the boiler, the gases
flow over the secondary heating surfaces of the third hot
gas flue to the flue outlet at the back of the boiler
(Æ Fig. 5). The oil or gas flame, especially with cleaner
burning pressure-jet oil and gas burners, can burn out
unhindered.

1 Combustion chamber (first hot gas flue)
2 Secondary heating surfaces of the second hot gas flue
3 Secondary heating surfaces of the third hot gas flue
The 3-pass principle and the water-cooled combustion
chamber with direct heating surfaces offer ideal
conditions for low emissions. This is especially true in
conjunction with the advanced pressure-jet oil and gas
burners, which are matched to the boilers.
The secondary heating surfaces are arranged
symmetrically around the combustion chamber. Some of
them have hot gas baffle plates, which optimise the speed
of the hot gas flow. This creates more intensive heat
transfer to the boiler water. The result is a high standard
seasonal efficiency [to DIN] and low flue gas
temperatures.

The burner must reliably overcome the boiler pressure
drop on the hot gas side. With gas combustion, ensure
that the local gas network can provide the required supply
pressure for the burner.
The burner head is equipped subject to the burner
manufacturer's stipulations.

Corrosion in the heating system can be the result of poor
water quality or air-borne oxygen in the system. Negative
pressure allows oxygen to enter the heating system.
Possible causes of oxygen ingress include leaks in the
heating system, regions of negative pressure, an
inadequately sized expansion vessel or plastic pipes with
no oxygen barrier.
If the ingress of oxygen into the heating system cannot be
prevented, we recommend separating the heating circuit
by means of a heat exchanger.

5.2 Logamatic telecontrol system


5.2.1 Overview
The Buderus telecontrol modem sends automatic
notification of operating faults to any destination - by
email, fax, SMS, etc. The service engineer can repair
the system remotely using a convenient PC program.
All parameters can be checked and modified via
telecommunications channels.
If required, a visit to the site can be planned efficiently:
what action is necessary, what spare parts are required,
do specialists need to be brought in?
A telecontrol system from Buderus is ideal for many
applications, e.g. in rented houses, apartment buildings
without a caretaker, holiday homes, municipal facilities,
hospitals or swimming pools. Remote monitoring is also
the top choice for heat supply contracts or inspection and
maintenance contracts.

For further information on the Logamatic


telecontrol system, see the technical guide
on the “Logamatic telecontrol system”.

To remove dirt and sludge, flush an existing heating
system thoroughly prior to installing and commissioning a
boiler. In addition, we recommend the installation of dirt
traps or a blow-down facility.
Dirt traps retain contaminants and thereby prevent
operating faults in control devices, pipework and boilers.
Fit these near the lowest point of the heating system in an
easily accessible position. Clean the dirt traps every time
the heating system is serviced.

8.6 Additional devices for sound


insulation
8.6.1 Requirements
The necessity and scope of measures for sound insulation
are based on the sound level and the noise disturbance
this causes. Buderus offers three devices that are
specially adapted to the Ecostream cast iron boilers,
which can be supplemented with additional on-site sound
insulation measures.
On-site measures include fixing the pipework to attenuate 6 720 644 097-47.1il
structure-borne noise, compensators in the connection
lines and flexible connections with the building. The Fig. 49 Flue gas silencer made of steel (round)
devices for sound insulation require extra space, which
should be factored in at the planning stage.
4 3 1
8.6.2 Burner silencer hood
The airborne noise created by the burner during operation
can be attenuated with a burner silencer hood. This can

D1
D3
D2
D1
reduce the sound pressure level in the installation room by
approx. 10 dB(A) to 15 dB(A), depending on the version.
Matching burner silencer hoods are sold by Buderus as 2
accessories or by the burner manufacturers. The L4 L2 L3
selection of a suitable burner silencer hood can be L1
6 720 644 097-48.1il
discussed in detail with the Buderus sales office (Æ back
cover) or with the burner manufacturer.

8.6.3 Flue gas silencer (round) with sealing collar 1 Flue pipe sealing collar
2 Threaded female connection for pipe connector

3 Packing cord
A large proportion of the noise caused by combustion can 4 Flue pipe graded sealing collar
be transferred via the flue system to the building. Specially
adapted flue gas silencers can significantly reduce the
LD [dB(A)]
sound level (Æ Tab. 37, page 68). 30
For example, the flue gas silencer shown (Æ Fig. 50) 25
achieves attenuation of approx. 10 dB(A) to 15 dB(A) in
the flue pipe. The pressure drop in the flue gas silencer 20
can be ignored when sizing the flue system. 15
The flue gas silencer has a connector (Æ Fig. 50, pos. 2) 10
and a special sealing collar (Æ Fig. 50, item 3+4). This
flue pipe graded sealing collar and the additional packing 5
cord provide separation of the structure-borne noise

8.6.5 Boiler mounts to attenuate structure-borne


A
noise
Boiler mounts to attenuate structure-borne noise can be E 1
used to prevent the transmission of structure-borne noise
to the foundations and the building. They are channel
sections, into which W-shaped longitudinal attenuation C
brackets are inserted (Æ Fig. 55). The longitudinal
attenuation brackets are made of spring steel and are D C**
44 2
coated with an anti-drumming mass to prevent the B (39)*
radiation of air-borne noise. When a load is applied, they
are compressed by approx. 5 mm.
2
3
When designing boiler mounts to attenuate structure-
borne noise, bear in mind that the installation height of the
boiler and therefore the position of the pipework 6 720 644 097-53.1il

connections can vary (Æ Fig. 55). To compensate for the


Fig. 55 Boiler mount to attenuate structure-borne
spring deflection of the longitudinal attenuation brackets
noise for the Ecostream cast iron boilers
and to further minimise sound transmission via the water

(values Æ Tab. 39)
compensators in the heating water lines.

9.1 Requirements
Sizing the flue system correctly is essential for correct
function and safe operation of the boilers.
Technical Regulations and directives to be observed are
as follows:
• The relevant Building Regulations and Fire Regulations
• DIN-EN 13384-1, DIN 4705-2 and 4705-3 on
calculating chimney dimensions
• DIN 18160-1, 18160-2, 18160-5 and 18160-6 on
domestic chimneys
As a basis for calculation and for sizing the flue system,
use the specifications in Tab. 3 to Tab. 5 (page 11 ff.) and
Tab. 42 (page 75) and Tab. 43 (page 76). The
requirements for the flue system and flue gas routing can
be derived from the results of the calculations and should
be discussed with the local flue gas inspector [where
appropriate] prior to constructing the heating system.

Tab. 42 Flue gas parameters for the Ecostream cast iron boiler Logano GE315
1) Basis for calculating the flue system to DIN-EN 13384-1
2) Parameters for the highest and lowest figures in the rated output range
3) Parameters for partial load with approx. 60 % of rated output
4) For flue systems and chimneys only approved for negative pressure operation, the maximum draught at the inlet to the flue system must not be
above 0 Pa.
5) Available draught for flues with positive pressure
6) Parameters for partial load with modulating operation. If other partial load figures are set via the burner, the associated flue gas mass flow rates
can be derived from the available data. Available draught for flues with positive pressure In chimney systems with negative pressure, the
required draught = 0 Pa.
