Technical elements of the QAÏTO Q20 pellet burner – ANGERS 49100

The QAÏTO Q20 pellet burner designed in Angers - 49100 - is composed of 3 elements:

Ø A cast iron burner measuring 105 mm in height, featuring a crucible or "lamellar cast iron basket" with slots 5 mm wide to allow the passage of combustion air while preventing whole pellets from passing through the slots.

o Its outer diameter is 250 mm while its inner diameter is 220 mm. It weighs approximately 4.30 kg, with a margin of variation of +/- 5% due to slight manufacturing differences.

o The cast iron used is of type GL 220, a lamellar cast iron commonly used in fireplace hearths and wood stoves.

o This crucible can hold between 1.8 kg and 2 kg of wood pellets. Note that this crucible is identical to that of the Q10 model.

It is possible to load the crucible with 2 kg of pellets during the first use.

Beforehand, make sure that the air intake of your heater is fully open, then adjust it according to the intensity of the flames obtained.

Ø A round stainless steel casing with a diameter of 240 mm, on the edges of which the burner is placed.

o A small gap separates the casing wall and the burner, allowing air to circulate all around the cast iron. This ensures optimal pellet combustion, as they are constantly exposed to an air flow.

o The two pegs or tenons present on the casing of the Q20 model serve to position it on the two upper holes of the base plate.

o Note that this casing is identical to that of the Q10 model.

Ø A rectangular stainless steel plate measuring 280 mm in width (or depth), 360 mm in length and 2 mm in height.

o It has an opening in the center with a diameter of 120 mm, allowing combustion air to circulate to the burner.

o Note that the pvc protective layer covering the plate must be removed before installing the QAÏTO Q20 in the fireplace.

The total net weight of QAÏTO Q20 is around 6.4 kg.

The total height of the Q20 pellet burner installed in your fireplace is 130 mm (13 cm).

It is advisable to leave a space of 15 to 20 cm between the top of the burner and the upper part of your fireplace to facilitate reloading and prevent burns while allowing the flames to be fully expressed.

It is important to note that 1 kg of pellets provides a calorific power of 4.6 kW, so 2 kg of pellets is equivalent to about 10 kW.

It should be noted that this power does not represent the thermal efficiency of the pellet burner. The efficiency of your fireplace equipped with a QAÏTO Q20 mainly depends on the characteristics of your installation.

The approximate duration of a load of pellets in a Q20 is as follows:

§ Total combustion time: about 60 minutes, with a variation of +/- 15%.

§ - Duration of flames: between 30 and 40 minutes depending on the combustion air flow.

§ - Burner heating time: several hours as the cast iron retains heat.

These estimates are approximate and non-contractual, as each installation, home, and lifestyle is unique, making it difficult for the manufacturer to commit to an exact combustion duration.
