ETA Hack 25 Residential Biomass Thermal Boilers from Eco-link Resources

Eco-link Resources supplies the ETA Hack 25 biomass thermal boiler that is designed for residential applications. Biomass such as wood pellets, wood logs and wood chips can be utilized as fuel in the boiler. The biomass thermal boiler includes a draught ventilator, which is speed controlled for independent operation from the chimney draught. The lambda control of the boiler recognizes fuel automatically.
