 High Operational Reliability
and Long Service Life with the

Design principle of the Rondomat
triple-pass boiler

At the end of the combustion

chamber (first pass), combustion
gases are channeled through the four
symmetrically oriented channels
surrounding the combustion chamber
(second pass) and then turn into the
four triangular-shaped collectors, via
the front section, to travel through the
channels of the third pass. The four
cooled flue gas streams are finally
combined in a flue collector located at
the back of the boiler, and funneled
through a vent connection into the
flue pipe. Rondomat cast iron section More than 98% of the sand used in
