soloketel

Soloketel is a term used in some markets to describe a self-contained boiler appliance that provides hot water and, in some designs, space heating without requiring a separate boiler or heat-exchanger unit. A soloketel integrates the combustion chamber, heat exchanger, controls, and often a water storage vessel in a single cabinet. It is typically installed close to the areas it serves and is connected to a venting system to expel combustion gases when gas or oil is used.

Soloketels can be powered by natural gas, propane, oil, or electricity. In gas- or oil-fired designs, the combustion heat is transferred to a water circuit that feeds domestic hot water or a radiator network. Some soloketels operate as on-demand (tankless) heaters, while others include a small storage tank to provide a reserve of hot water. Efficiency varies by model and design.

Modern soloketels often include features such as modulating burners, advanced controls, and high-efficiency heat exchangers to reduce energy consumption. Typical safety features include a flame detection device, overheat protection, pressure relief valve, and an automatic shutoff in fault conditions. Installation must comply with local codes and venting requirements, and regular servicing is advised.

Soloketel designs are frequently chosen for compact living spaces, renovations, or situations where a full central heating system is impractical. They offer a compact alternative to larger boilers, with the trade-off that capacity and scalability may be more limited than in central heating setups.
