A full system control panel is factory fitted — including auto switches and alarms. There is also provision for a BMS interface for alarms and controls or integral system control.

The Eco unit is automatically selected as the lead boiler. It can deliver 6 kW of heat and 1 kW of electricity An additional burner gives another 18 kW of heat, achieving 90% overall operating efficiency.

Ecoskid is available with a standard plate heat exchanger for retrofit into old systems.
