Safety Features

As biomass boilers are increasingly being used for commercial, industrial and rural heating, the safety of these boilers is very important. Reka boilers use the latest technology to monitor, control and eliminate any potential danger, providing you with safe heating for those who use it, whether it’s your family or your employees. The Reka heating system provides you with a piece of mind.

Fire Lock
The fire lock provides a physical barrier between the boiler and the hopper, this prevents “burn back” (fire from the boiler burns back down the transport auger) and stops unwanted oxygen entering from the transport auger

Water Sprinkler System
In the event of an emergency the transport auger is equipped with a water nozzle, if it exceeds a certain temperature a compressed cylinder of water is flooded into the auger extinguishing any fire hazard. This system is designed to work even if there is a power cut, the system works independently from the rest of the boiler system and its operation is completely mechanical.

Boiler Thermostat
As water heats and gets to boiling point it expands putting pressure on the boiler. The boiler is fitted with an internal but accessible thermostat which monitors the temperature of the water inside the boiler, if the water temperature inside the boiler reaches 96ºc the boiler automatically shut down, each boiler is tested to 110ºc to comply with Danish law, giving sufficient leeway in the case of an emergency.

Oxygen Level Sensor
The oxygen level inside the boiler is monitored by a Lambda sensor, if the level of oxygen inside the boiler gets below 5% the control box starts the extractor fan (on smaller boilers it starts the lower draft fan) and draws out and unwanted gasses.
