Product Overview & Application Area
The ATTACK SLX 55 PROFI is a manually fed wood gasification boiler for closed hot water heating systems. With a nominal output of 55 kW and an output range of 27.5 to 55 kW, this version is intended for larger central heating systems whose heat demand has been professionally matched to the boiler output.
The 230-liter filling chamber accommodates dry, split firewood with a length of up to 750 mm. The generously sized fuel chamber allows the use of long logs and reduces the effort required for splitting and reloading fuel.
Technology & Equipment
The temperature-controlled PROFI-PID controller processes boiler and flue gas temperatures and adjusts the speed of the induced draft fan to the operating state. In addition to the heating circuit pump, an additional controller output can optionally control a hot water or buffer storage loading pump.
In the PROFI version, primary and secondary air are mechanically preset. A lambda sensor is not part of this control variant. The tubular heat exchanger with turbulators supports heat transfer to the heating water. An integrated safety heat exchanger enables the integration of a thermal drain safety device.
Everyday Benefits
The large filling chamber and the maximum log length of 750 mm allow the use of long logs. With suitable fuel quality, nominal operation, and a correctly matched system, the approximate burn time is about four hours per filling.
The PROFI-PID controller combines monitoring of boiler and flue gas temperatures with modulating fan control. The pump functions can be set according to the planned system hydraulics.
System Integration & Compatibility
For the ATTACK SLX 55 PROFI, a buffer tank volume of 4,000 liters is recommended. The final sizing depends on the heating load, system hydraulics, heat output, operating mode, and the technical requirements of the respective building.
The flow and return connections are designed as G 2 inch connections. The flue pipe connection has a diameter of 150 mm, and the required chimney draft is 23 Pa. A suitable return temperature boost must ensure a return temperature of at least 65 °C.

Installation
Installation, hydraulic connection, chimney connection, electrical connection, initial commissioning and safety inspection must be carried out by appropriately qualified specialists. The system requires effective return temperature boosting, a properly sized buffer tank, a safety valve, a thermal drain safety device and a permanently secured heat dissipation.
Notes
For proper operation, use dry, split firewood with a recommended moisture content of approximately 12 to 20%. Wet or unsuitable fuel can impair performance and combustion quality and promote the formation of tar and condensate.
The required boiler output, buffer tank size, system hydraulics, and chimney design must be determined on a project-specific basis. The performance specifications do not replace a heat load calculation or professional planning.
