1.3 Benefits of the Ecostream cast iron
boilers Logano GE315, GE515 and
GE615
Thermostream technology
Thermostream technology achieves increased protection
against condensation and even temperature distribution
in the boiler. It works with any return temperature and
heating water flow rate, however low.
High seasonal efficiency [to DIN]
The heating surfaces designed for optimum efficiency,
combined with the high grade thermal insulation, achieve
excellent heat transfer and low flue gas losses. The result
is standard seasonal efficiency [to DIN] of up to 96 %.
High operational reliability
The required operational reliability and long boiler service
life are the result of high grade material, the optimised
combustion chamber, special flow technology for the
return water and a low temperature drop inside the boiler.
Environmentally responsible with low emissions
Ideal conditions for clean combustion, especially in
conjunction with the matching low emissions burners,
thanks to the 3-pass principle and water-cooled
combustion chamber with direct heating surfaces.
Cost savings
Fuel cost savings as a result of economical low
temperature heating operation with no required low end
temperature for night setback. The cost of investing in and
operating a shunt pump is saved due to thermostream
technology.
Simple system technology
Since there are no special requirements for minimum flow
rate or return temperature, it is simple and straightforward
to connect all Ecostream cast iron boilers to the heating
system. Not only does this lead to reduced investment
outlay and running costs, but also less engineering effort.
Easy installation
The boilers can be installed quickly and easily as the
required connections are prepared at the factory and the
accessories are matched to the boilers. All boilers can be
delivered with a boiler block fitted at the factory. If space
for handling is tight, the cast iron boilers can be
transported in sections and assembled at the installation
site (delivery in loose sections).
Simple maintenance and cleaning
The combustion chamber and heating surfaces of these
boilers are easily accessible via the large door at the front.
They are easy to clean using the cleaning equipment set
(accessory).
Ecostream cast iron boiler unit
The Ecostream cast iron boiler unit and matching burner
significantly reduce the effort required for installing and
adjusting the burner.

2.2 Thermostream technology of the Ecostream cast iron boilers
2.2.1 Function principle
Thermostream technology is based on the mixing of cold
return water with hot flow water inside the boiler. Return
temperature raising takes place in the upper section of the
boiler. The return water therefore reaches a higher
temperature level before it flows to the heating surfaces.
A thermal shock to the heating surfaces is consistently
prevented, even if there is a sudden inflow of cold return
water.
No additional measures are required to raise the return
temperature or maintain a minimum flow rate under certain
operating conditions.
In steady operation, the surface temperatures on the hot
gas side are above the dew point of the hot gases. No
condensate is formed in the combustion chamber or
secondary heating surfaces. As a consequence,
corrosion inside the boiler is prevented.
The combustion chamber and heating surfaces receive a
flow of boiler water through natural circulation, and they
continually extract heating energy from the hot gas flow.
This results in high energy utilisation, stable operating
characteristics and simple hydraulic connections.
Thermostream technology means the boiler is
constructed with single-skin direct heating surfaces,
making it extremely compact.

2.2.2 Structural features
Heating water routing
With the Ecostream cast iron boilers Logano GE315,
GE515 and GE615, the flow and return are arranged at
the back of the boiler, at the top. A special feed pipe is
integrated into the top hubs of the boiler sections, into
which cold return water flows. This construction provides
hydraulic separation of the flow and return water. For
every boiler section, there are generally two symmetrical
holes positioned at the sides of the feed pipe. A regulated
volume of return water is therefore supplied evenly to the
boiler sections (Æ Fig. 3)

Logano GE515
RK Return
VK Boiler flow
1 Combustion chamber
2 Water guide element
3 Top hub for flow water
4 Feed pipe for return water
The boiler water is heated by the inner heat transfer
surfaces (combustion chamber and secondary heating
surface) and rises. Colder water sinks at the external wall
and flows towards the inner heating surface (Æ Fig. 4).
Fig. 4 Functional diagram of heating water flow in the
Logano GE515
A water guide element is moulded into every boiler
section below the top hub. This means rising hot boiler
water is channelled around the feed pipe to the outside.
Inflowing return water mixes with the hot boiler water. The
injection effect improves the mixing. In this way, the
heating surfaces are shielded from the cold return water.
This type of boiler water flow results in even temperature
distribution inside the boiler. The result is significantly
reduced thermal stresses.

Hot gas routing
The Ecostream cast iron boilers Logano GE315, GE515
and GE615 are designed according to the 3-pass
principle with a burnout combustion chamber. The
geometry of the cast iron boiler sections results in precise
routing of the hot gas flow for optimum heat transfer. The
hot gases leave the combustion chamber by the back
boiler section, where they are re-routed to the front. They
then flow through the secondary heating surfaces of the
second hot gas flue. After being reversed again between
the front section and front door of the boiler, the gases
flow over the secondary heating surfaces of the third hot
gas flue to the flue outlet at the back of the boiler
(Æ Fig. 5). The oil or gas flame, especially with cleaner
burning pressure-jet oil and gas burners, can burn out
unhindered.
Fig. 5 Hot gas routing in the Logano GE515
1 Combustion chamber (first hot gas flue)
2 Secondary heating surfaces of the second hot gas flue
3 Secondary heating surfaces of the third hot gas flue
The 3-pass principle and the water-cooled combustion
chamber with direct heating surfaces offer ideal
conditions for low emissions. This is especially true in
conjunction with the advanced pressure-jet oil and gas
burners, which are matched to the boilers.
The secondary heating surfaces are arranged
symmetrically around the combustion chamber. Some of
them have hot gas baffle plates, which optimise the speed
of the hot gas flow. This creates more intensive heat
transfer to the boiler water. The result is a high standard
seasonal efficiency [to DIN] and low flue gas
temperatures.
If the flue system is not suitable for such low flue gas
temperatures, individual hot gas baffle plates or
turbulators can be removed from the secondary heating
surfaces. In this case, the flue gas temperatures would be
approx. 20 °C to 30 °C higher.

2.4.4 Standby loss and flue gas temperature
The standby loss is part of the rated heat input that is
required to achieve the specified boiler water
temperature.
The cause of this loss is the cooling down of the boiler
through radiation and convection during the standby time
(burner idle time). Radiation and convection result in part
of the output being transferred continuously from the
boiler surface to the ambient air. In addition to this surface
loss, the boiler can also cool down to a lesser degree
through the chimney draught.

3 Burner
3.1 Matching pressure-jet oil or gas
burners for cast iron boiler units
To make engineering and installation easier, the cast iron
boilers are available as units. For the Logano GE315
series as a unit version, the Logatop VM pressure-jet gas
premix burner is available.
Logatop VM gas premix burner
Fig. 21 Logatop VM gas premix burner
Fully automatic modulating gas premix burner for natural
gas E and LL, with variable speed combustion air fan,
equipped as standard with dual solenoid valve and digital
burner control unit with diagnostic display.
At the factory, the burner is fitted to the burner door,
preset and tested at operating temperature, making it
ready for immediate operation.
No additional silencing measures are required due to the
low sound emissions from the pressure-jet gas premix
burner, so it is ideal for residential buildings.
Pressure-jet oil and gas burners
For the Logano GE315, GE515 and GE615 series as a
unit version, matching 2-stage pressure-jet burners for
fuel oil EL and natural gas E and LL are available.
3.2 General requirements
The pressure-jet oil burners must be type-tested in
accordance with the requirements of DIN-EN 267; the
pressure-jet gas burners in accordance with DIN-EN 676.
Observe the requirements for oil and gas combustion
equipment, as well as the applicable guidelines and
regulations.
When combining a boiler with a burner, check whether
the burner manufacturer's requirements with regard to the
combustion chamber geometry are fulfilled for the
selected boiler.
3.3 Information on burner selection
The burner must reliably overcome the boiler pressure
drop on the hot gas side. With gas combustion, ensure
that the local gas network can provide the required supply
pressure for the burner.
The burner head is equipped subject to the burner
manufacturer's stipulations.
See the latest Buderus “Prices and
technology” catalogues for unit versions with
matching pressure-jet burners for operation
with fuel oil EL and natural gas E and LL. The
standard delivery includes the boiler, burner
and drilled burner plates.

To select the optimum boiler/burner
combination, you can also contact your local
Buderus sales office.
