Domestic hot water is produced through a high-performance internal heat exchanger featuring 5 copper coils (Ø 10 mm). Safety Integration: This exchanger is connected to a thermal discharge valve, allowing it to serve a dual purpose: providing consistent hot water while acting as an additional safety system to dissipate excess heat when necessary. SELF-CLEANING EXCHANGER AND HIGH SAFETY The Kronos represents the perfect hybrid combination of the heating fireplace exchanger and the heating stove exchanger, both of which are Famar patents. The system utilizes a sophisticated heat exchange process to maximize efficiency and minimize maintenance: Vortex Smoke Path: Flue gases are channeled into honeycomb ducts specifically dimensioned to create a swirling, vortex motion. This forced convection ensures the gases transfer maximum heat to the water circulating in the jacket. Patented "Dry Chamber" Structure: The exchanger is designed to reach incandescent temperatures during operation. This heat exceeds the lysis temperature of unburned smoke particles, effectively burning them off. Benefit 1: The exchanger remains self- cleaning, as combustion deposits are turned into energy and easily removable ash. Benefit 2: Boiler efficiency remains constant over time since soot buildup is prevented. Superior Performance: The honeycomb ducts are engineered to be longer than standard Famar heating fireplaces. This design achieves efficiency levels comparable to, or even exceeding, high-end heating stoves—whether burning wood or pellets.
