Action ökofen France on regulation
published: 30/01/09, 08:35
hello everyone, and especially all users of okofen boilers.
seen the many long threads of discussions on the problems of adjustments and parameterization of these boilers, having had to analyze and patiently correct the concerns of my own boiler, I realize that there is a fundamental problem:
these boilers are actually very well designed mechanically, seem reliable and efficient, including regulation but; perhaps by the very nature of this type of boiler, are complicated to adapt to the type of heating and the house considered.
However where an approximate adaptation does not have too many consequences on the comfort with the oil or gas boilers, the automated control of a wood fire (because it is indeed that) is not simple and the comfort feels it if it is not perfectly well configured.
after trying as best we can to help some of you through this forum, I took the drone and I called okofen France because of all these worries. At first, they thought I was complaining about different problems, etc.
When I told them that I found their material great but that I wanted to give them constructive feedback so that disappointed users do not go everywhere to sing that Okofen is crappy, I felt the ears stand up.
At their request, I am in the process of making a document summarizing all the concerns of the two regulators and the problems of boiler parameters.
I therefore suggest, if you wish, to make an inventory here of the concerns.
thank you for being precise, concise and not to launch a discussion around the problems so as not to get lost.
when some have found a solution to a problem, please also indicate it of course.
