Opening the Door to the 21st Century in

High Performance Heating Equipment

This is one of the most compact and efficient heaters available on the market today. Each Munchkin heater will modulate its firing ratio to match the actual energy requirements of the living space. This feature provides additional savings versus traditional single firing heaters.

With stainless steel construction, you can be assured that you are buying the highest quality appliance. Proven European technology, manufactured in the United States. Quiet operation is just another benefit that comes with the Munchkin heater.

Featuring the Munchkin Contender!

Timbers Edge Heating finds that the Munchkin Contender Condensing Gas Fired Heater is not only easy to install, but is also highly efficient and will provide years of service free operation.

How it operates

When the room thermostat calls for heat, the Munchkin control board will start the pump and start to monitor the return water temperature of the system before the heater will begin to heat the water.

Once the controller has sensed a drop in the return water temperature below the temperature set point minus the differential set point, the boiler will start to heat the water. This eliminates the boiler starting every time the thermostat calls for heat. This feature keeps the system from short cycling.

Once the system has sensed the temperature difference, the Munchkin will activate the blower motor for 5 seconds to prepurge the system before starting the Munchkin. The Munchkin controller will now start to modulate the pre-mix burner based on analyzing the return water temperature, supply water temperature, and the set point temperature. By compiling this information, the controller utilizes an algorithm to fully adjust the firing rate while maintaining the desired output temperature. The pre-mix burner fans have a low-voltage direct circuit drive motor with a pulse relay counting.

This system allows precise control over the fan speed and combustion air volumes. This keeps the Munchkin running at the highest efficiency 92% AFUE.

When the thermostat is satisfied, the Munchkin will then go through a 4 second post-purge cycle before shutting off. Munchkins are equipped with a control display with indicators that show the normal operation of the boiler. This display will also serve as a diagnostic tool for servicing.

92% AFUE condensing technology

The cost of fuel in some areas of the country has increased almost 40% in just one year! Munchkin High Efficiency Modulating 92% AFUE gas boilers provides a maximum payback on fuel savings. As the chart illustrates, savings can result in payback periods of less than 3 years. Depending on the age of your present equipment, the Munchkin could save you as much as 50% on your fuel bills.

Durable All Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger

The Munchkin design starts with the individual stainless steel helical water circuits, which provide maximum corrosion resistance caused by the condensing of the flue gas inside the secondary portion of the heat exchanger. The flue and individual stainless steel water circuits are baffled to direct the flow which maximize the heat transfer rate. This allows the heat energy from the combustion process to transfer directly into the water as it passes through the individual stainless steel helical circuits. The Munchkin heat exchanger absorbs so much energy that the exhaust gas can be vented with standard schedule 40 PVC pipe. The sealed combustion process and minimal water volume content eliminates external heat loss, this means very little stand by heat loss, resulting in additional energy savings versus a traditional system.
