What Our PELLET DUO 150 - 500K BTU Works With

Answers

Frequently asked questions

What is a large Pellet Duo boiler?

Large Pellet Duo boilers extend the same automatic, multi-fuel hydronic platform into commercial, industrial, and district-scale heating. They are rated at 92% efficiency and certified to EN 303-5:2012.

Which large Pellet Duo model should I choose?

Pellet Duo 150 covers up to 15,000 ft², Pellet Duo 300 up to 30,000 ft², Pellet Duo 500 up to 55,000 ft², and Pellet Duo 1000 up to 110,000 ft². These ranges are approximate; final selection requires a building heat-loss calculation and MBTEK sizing review.

What buildings are large Pellet Duo boilers best for?

They are intended for large commercial buildings, industrial facilities, farms, campuses, and district-scale hydronic systems whose heating loads exceed the regular Pellet Duo range.

What fuels can large Pellet Duo boilers use?

The automatic hopper can use pellets, grains, corn, or biomass. Pellet Duo 150 also has a manual firebox for cut logs; the 300, 500, and 1000 models are automatic-hopper-only and do not have a manual firebox.

How efficient are large Pellet Duo boilers?

Large Pellet Duo boilers are rated at 92% efficiency and certified to EN 303-5:2012.

Can a large Pellet Duo boiler provide domestic hot water?

Yes — it can supply domestic hot water alongside space heating when paired with a correctly sized indirect water heater tank and hydronic controls.

What installation planning is required?

Plan model-specific freight and rigging, boiler-room access, hopper refill access, venting, electrical service, and hydronic connections. A qualified designer should confirm clearances, heat loss, piping, controls, and code requirements before ordering.

Do large Pellet Duo boilers need buffer tanks?

Many large hydronic systems benefit from a buffer tank to store surplus heat, reduce cycling, and stabilize system operation. Required storage volume depends on the load and system design; confirm it with MBTEK.

How long does the hopper run between refills?

Published guidance is 4–10 days of autonomy, up to two weeks depending on usage. Actual refill frequency varies with model, fuel, building load, weather, and operating schedule.

What maintenance is required on large Pellet Duo boilers?

Routine work includes ash removal, hopper and auger inspection, heat-exchanger and flue cleaning, combustion checks, and controller and safety-device inspection according to the manuals and service schedule.
