E.C.A Arceus EK 15, ST Electric System Boiler – 15kW (MPN: 8116285010) is a compact, wall‑mounted electric system boiler for sealed central heating systems with an external indirect cylinder. The ST (Storage Tank) configuration combines space heating with control of a separate hot water storage cylinder via an internal 3‑way valve, keeping stored domestic hot water at the desired temperature while delivering quiet, zero‑emission electric heating.

Key Features

• 15kW electric system boiler – provides central heating and controls an external hot water storage cylinder rather than producing instantaneous DHW.
• ST (Storage Tank) design – no internal plate heat exchanger; instead, an integrated 3‑way valve diverts primary water to the cylinder coil when cylinder temperature falls below setpoint.
• 100% efficient at point of use – all electrical input is converted to heat on site, with no flue losses or combustion gases.
• Range‑rateable output – boiler output can be reduced (range‑rated) to better match system demand and improve ErP efficiency when configured correctly.
• Built‑in Smart modulator – manages staged electric elements and temperature control for smoother operation and energy saving.
• OpenTherm compatible – supports OpenTherm smart room thermostats, typically improving efficiency and comfort by 15–20%.
• Silent, compact operation – low noise level around 38 dB and small footprint make it suitable for cupboards, kitchens and utility rooms.
• Economy / energy‑saving mode – selectable operating modes for reduced energy consumption when full comfort is not required.
• Frost protection – integrated freeze protection for the boiler and system water within the unit.
• Stainless steel heating tank & special‑alloy elements – robust tank‑type heat exchanger with durable electric resistors for long life and reliability.

Performance & Applications

• Central heating output: approx. 14.9kW (around 50,840 BTU/h), suitable for well‑insulated small to medium homes (typical heated area up to ~110–120 m², load‑dependent).
• Domestic hot water: via external unvented or vented cylinder; boiler maintains cylinder temperature rather than producing instantaneous hot water.
• ErP classification: seasonal space heating ErP class D (typical for direct‑electric boilers of this type).
• Ideal for: all‑electric homes, properties without gas, and systems pairing electric heating with PV, batteries or low‑carbon tariffs, where a separate cylinder is preferred.

Installation Notes

• Must be installed and commissioned by a suitably qualified engineer in line with E.C.A installation instructions and local electrical and plumbing regulations.
• Designed for sealed central heating systems with an external cylinder; ensure appropriate expansion vessel volume, safety valve and system treatment are provided where required.
• Electrical supply, cabling and protective devices must be sized correctly for the 15kW load and chosen supply (single‑phase or three‑phase).
• Connect the boiler’s cylinder control and 3‑way valve ports as per the manufacturer’s schematics, and pair with an appropriate room thermostat and cylinder thermostat for optimal control.
