Cover color housing thermostats

To make our entire range look more uniform, we decided to match the cover color of our housing thermostats to our heating elements and to change it to light gray.

The change will take place in autumn.

Don't worry - the previous color for OEM solutions or other colors upon request are still available. As a holistic manufacturer we can offer you these individual solutions, among other things.

We will be happy to inform you prematurely so that you have enough time for your conversion or orders that have yet to be initiated.

ASKOHEAT+ ​
 with new functions 

​​
  • The heating insert has a web interface. The usual web browsers allow you to make a variety of settings and retrieve the current status.
  • The wiring in the heating element comes from the factory on the housing connector, the mating connector is included in the delivered package.
  • ASKOHEAT+ divides its total output into 7 linear stages
  • The 7 power stages can be controlled via Modbus TCP or RTU as well as via 0-10V (with 0-10V, the stages and the voltage are freely configurable).
  • 4 dynamic legionella protection time programmes are integrated, once a day, once a week, once every 2 weeks, once a month (time starts counting from the last time the set temperature was reached)
  • Button for emergency heating on the unit = heating rod switches to 100% power for 24 hours, subsequently the heating element returns to standard. The power can be changed via the web interface
  • Potential-free input for the function as emergency heating for heat pumps. Switches 100% of the power, this can be changed via the web interface.
  • Up to 4 x PT1000 sensors can be read out to display a stratification temperature behaviour in the storage tank
  • Use of night current = drinking water can be kept at the desired, freely adjustable temperature in the boiler with night current
  • Minimum temperature = A minimum temperature can be defined which is never fallen short of (daytime current is also used with this function).
  • Can be integrated into any energy management system via Modbus TCP/RTU or​       0-10V
  • A component of ASKOFAMILY+, the energy manager of ASKOMA with ASKOSET+ and the ASKOHOME app
  • In insulated design with dipswitch for all storage materials, usable for heating as well as drinking water
  • The good feeling for having a high-quality product for Power to Heat to store maximum solar power​

Detailed information about the product you can find here.
ASKOFAMILY+
With the ASKOFAMILY+ we have developed an energy manager platform. The system enables the user to see his energy flows and optimize them. For example, surpluses from the solar power system will be directed to the consumer. In this way, users can prioritize and visualize inverters, heat pumps as well as battery storage, e-charging stations, heating elements and up to 99 networked devices.

The ASKOSET+, white consists out of an energy manager with a power supply and the ASKOHEAT+ heating element constitute ther hardware. As an option you can order the energy meter as well.
The craftsman assembles the hardware and connects the elements to the LAN or via the RS 485 interface. There is also an offline version as an introduction and two software extensions that work based on the cloud.
The ASKOHEAT+ is available in two versions - as a flange or screw-in heater. The heating elements in Incoloy 825 are suitable for all heating and drinking water storage tanks. In addition, we produce the appropriate heating elements for numerous standard energy manager, 3-stage, 7-stage with integrated relay control or digitally controllable via Modbus TCP, RTU or (http) JSON.
The corresponding package can now be ordered.

ASKOMA - FRONIUS OHMPILOT
Continuously variable solution for 36kW
The company ASKOMA has further developed and expanded its product range in the segment of continuously variable heating elements in cooperation with the company Fronius.
With the ASKOHEAT-OP, 1-9kW heating capacities were previously available in the 1½“ screw-in and 180mm flange heaters. Three months ago the range of 18kW heating elements was expanded to include flange sizes 240 and 280mm.
This enables the user to store excess electricity as required, with a heating element and an Ohmpilot 18kW.

As more and more large-scale plants (e.g. in Germany) fall out of the 20-year feed-in tariff at the turn of the year, these customers need simple, quickly implemented and cost-effective solutions in commercial businesses, agriculture, sports parks and residential areas.
 
For this we can now present a 36kW excess current storage solution.
With the following Fronius and ASKOMA products:
The heating elements are in Incoloy 825 and suitable for all heating and drinking water storage tanks.

You can find more detailed information about the products in our product brochure. Also our contact persons will be pleased to assist you - so don't hesitate to contact us.
ASKOHEAT+ ​
Our newest innovation
The ASKOHEAT+ (7 levels) communicates via Modbus TCP or 0-10V and can thus be used with any corresponding energy manager.
 
The internal circuit board contains the following possibilities in the Modbus TCP mode:
  • Power to heat, 7-stage regulation for heating elements
  • Four PT 1000 probes can be connected
  • Anti-legionella management
  • Actuation as emergency heating of heat pumps, 100% output
  • Manual use, 100% output (autom. shut down after 24h)

The ASKOHEAT+ are available in two device variants for boiler installation:
  • Flange heater, Ø180mm in power ranges 1.75, 3.5, 4.4, 5.8kW
  • Screw-in heater 1½” in power ranges 1.75, 3.5, 4.4, 5.2kW
  All screw-in heater 1½” are also applicable for ASKOWALL+.

The ASKOHEAT+ flange  and screw-in heater are produced as Incoloy 825 versions, suitable for a simple direct mounting in all heating and drinking water tanks.

Thanks to the insulated construction and the dip switch, they can be used in black steel, enamelled as well as stainless steel tanks, and corrosion can be prevented.

ASKOHEAT-OHMPILOT ​
​18kW Flange heater Ø 240mm
It is suitable for continuously storing large amounts of excess current up to 18 kW from the PV system with a Fronius Ohmpilot in the heating or hot water boiler.
This gives you a simple solution for large buildings, apartment buildings, as well as for industrial applications.
Thus, the full 18 kW control capacity of the Ohmpilot can be used with just one heating element.

Detailed information about the product you can find here.
ASKOWALL ​
​
The ASKOWALL is designed for easy installation on any conventional buffer tank to provide the user with energy-efficient, smooth, high-temperature stratification.

To this end, the ASKOWALL can be connected directly to the relevant buffer tank in new buildings or refurbishments.

Flange heater - 
The ideal solution for usage of industrial water,
especially for small boilers

The efforts for services and a long life time are key factors in applying a suitable heating element. But also ingenious electrical and mechanical connection features are of profitable use.

As a result of the insulated assembly of the heating elements using protective current bleeder, ASKOMA flange heaters prevent premature aging due to tank corosion.

From a technical and also from an economical point of view the big selection of product types as well as custom-made adaptions even with small quantities makes the use of an ASKOMA flange heater very interesting. This you receive from the manufacturing facility in Switzerland to the usual high ASKOMA quality on delivery and product, particularly due to a 100 % pre-deliver inspection for tightness and insulation value.
 
Characteristics and advantages are visually listed and described in the overview Advantages ASKOHEAT-F 

We’re looking forward to discuss your advantages in using an ASKOMA ASKOHEAT.

Combo verification of boiler / tank with electric heater

After the launch of the ruling EN 60335-2-21, tanks or boilers with electric heaters are considered as a cohesive system. It is stipulated, that the standard specifications has to be complied with the combination tank <> electric heater.
 
This verification is time-consuming and connected with significant costs. Several national testing institutes conduct this combo verification, but time and charges can only be planned to a certain extent.
 
Within the collaboration with tank manufacturers ASKOMA has installed an especially accredited testing system in CH-Bützberg. We can offer and perform tests according to EN-specifications, wherefore only ASKOMA heaters will be applied, at attractive time and cost conditions.

Are you developping a new storage range or would you like to test your current product line? We will gladly submit to you an offer for an efficient, cost-effective check with all official certificates included.
 
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
