Manufactured products
Dakon manufactures various types of hot water boilers. These include:
- Dakon solid fuel boilers;
- Gas fueled;
- Electrical;
- Liquid fuel.
In many localities, a central gas supply has not yet been carried out, therefore, Dakon solid fuel boilers, dor series, which use wood and coal, have become widespread. Structurally, such boilers are produced in cast iron and steel. Their difference lies in the service life and, accordingly, in weight due to the use of different heat exchangers.

Description of the dor series
The Dakon solid fuel boiler of the dor series has seven models with a minimum power of 12 kW and a maximum power of 45 kW.
Tab. 1 Main technical parameters of Dakon dor boilers
The company has developed a more modern solid-fuel device of the dor F series. The main and main difference is that the design of the upper part for stowing fuel has been changed. Due to this, filling with fuel has become more convenient, and the appearance has become worse at the same time, the upper door has lost its lining. The design also changed slightly, and the minimum power became 13.5 kW. The operation of the dor f boiler is non-volatile.
The dor series is designed for heating apartment buildings, cottages.
The dor FDWT solid fuel model has appeared in the Dakon boilers line. This model uses a cooling coil. You can use firewood, brown coal, walnuts, briquettes and coal, compressed fuel, coke.

Dakon boilers use solid fuels, mainly wood and coal in various forms. Solid fuel is considered the cheapest in comparison with other types of fuel, moreover, it is environmentally friendly and affordable. The fuel can have a moisture content of up to 35%, which is high for combustion.
The burning time is the same for both types, the burning time is 8-12 hours, at a temperature outside the window of -30 degrees, the time will be halved. The most economical is brown coal, since it is on this fuel that the dor boiler works the longest. The choice of boiler power directly depends on the heated area and the level of heat losses. So, with an area of 100 - 120 square meters, a solid fuel boiler dakon dor 16 will be optimal.
Tab. 2 Basic parameters of Dakon dor F boilers
There is a series of cast iron solid fuel boiler dakon FB. The main fuel for them is wood, reserve coal. This model can work with liquid fuel and gas fuel. For this, a separate kit is purchased. The power of such boilers is from 17 to 42 kW.
Short description and operation
Structurally, the solid fuel boiler dakon consists of a body in which there are water sections, a combustion chamber and a grate. The combustion chamber, together with the new grate system, the supply of primary and secondary air, and its regulation, ensures good fuel combustion. The combustion chamber is lined with fireclay stone for reliability.
Asbestos-free technology is used for thermal insulation of Dor devices.
The grates of Dor heaters are rotatable and controlled by a shaking lever. It is located in a convenient place on the side of the boiler, and when it is necessary to separate the ash and slag from the fuel, you just need to shake it.
In the upper part there is a lid with a funnel expanding to the bottom for loading fuel. On the front, on the left side, there is a device that combines the capabilities of a manometer and a thermometer, by which it is convenient to monitor the temperature and pressure in the system.
On the right side, a power adjustment device is installed, which is connected to the throttle through a chain. The heat exchanger of the Dakon solid fuel boiler is three-pass. It is made of heat-resistant steel that can withstand significant thermal shock.
On the advantages of Dakon solid fuel boilers:
- Small-sized, they can be installed in any small room;
- Reliable boiler design;
- Beautiful modern design;
- Loading of Dor series water heaters has become more convenient;
- Automatic power regulation, mechanical traction thermostat controls the air supply throttle;
- The prices of Dor solid fuel models are very low, even when compared to domestic appliances;
- High efficiency. The fuel is low in price.
Cons of Dakon solid fuel boilers:
- A small fuel fill, which in cold winter conditions has to be refueled up to 4-5 times per day;
- The temperature of the coolant must not be lowered below 65 ° C, otherwise condensation will form, which contributes to the destruction of the device.
So which Dakon should you choose? Dor series, or maybe another. Among the variety of solid fuel devices, it is easy to get lost. We pay the main attention to the question of what area to heat. From this we choose the power of the device. Each series of devices differs in its own nuances, first of all, it concerns the DakonFB series.

An important role is played by the size of the combustion chamber, it is no secret that briquettes are mainly used in Western countries, it is very difficult to purchase even wood for the size of the firebox from us. If in the future it is planned to connect the central gas line, then you should consider purchasing a Dakon solid fuel apparatus with the ability to connect a gas burner. Moreover, this function is optional.
One conclusion can be drawn. Any solid fuel product manufactured by Dakon is the best choice.
Gas
The following gas boilers are manufactured by Dakon:
- Wall mounted gas;
- Floor gas;
- Cast iron gas floor.
Dakon boilers of the DUA series are available in three types with powers of 24, 28 and 30 kW, while they are capable of heating an area from 100 to 400 square meters. The water temperature in the system is from 40 to 90 ° C.
There are a lot of options. The Daacon company is constantly expanding the models of gas boilers, and today there are 16 modifications, both for heating and for hot water supply, with or without chimneys, with boilers and with running water.
When choosing a Dacon solid fuel boiler, we are guided, of course, by the technical characteristics of gas appliances. A good choice would be to purchase gas equipment with a boiler. In general, it is better to purchase Dacon gas equipment with two circuits. This will ensure the availability of water for both heating and water supply. Gas heating is more common than other types of heating.

In general, the convenience of electric boilers is a huge reason for purchasing them. What should you choose? Induction heater, on heating elements, or electrode heaters. So induction is considered very good, they are quite economical, but expensive.
The heating elements have a significant drawback, over time, scale forms on them, which leads to an increase in electricity consumption. Electrode heaters are very good, they are inexpensive, but they require special prepared heating water. Also, the devices require more frequent replacement of the electrodes.
Often they are placed in country houses, which they come to on weekends. Electrical appliances can be turned on remotely, or the temperature can be raised above the standby mode, and the necessary thermal comfort will be provided by the arrival of the owners. And after that, you can connect the Dakon solid fuel boiler of the Dor series.
Among European products, in their price category, Dakon devices are considered the best, slightly exceeding domestic developments in cost. We select the required power. You also need to select additional options, such as remote control.
Price question
Heating equipment from a Czech manufacturer belongs to the middle price category.Their cost ranges from 45,000 rubles for classic models to 124,000 rubles for pyrolysis machines. If we compare these data with prices for domestic solid fuel products, they are much higher. But at the same time, comparison with Western European products gives the opposite effect.
Consumer reviews, watch the video:
However, Dacon solid fuel boilers, the price of which differs depending on the series and model, justify it completely. After all, this equipment can easily compete with the products of the most famous companies in terms of quality, efficiency and ease of use.
