Description
IBO IBOMAT API 25/45 – return protection pumping group
IBOMAT API 25/45 is a complete IBO return protection pumping group designed for direct installation on the return pipe of a solid-fuel boiler or a fireplace with a water heat exchanger. The integrated TSV3B thermostatic valve maintains the return water temperature above the condensation threshold, effectively protecting the heat exchanger against low-temperature corrosion and extending the boiler’s service life.
Who it is for
- Installers of solid-fuel boilers and fireplaces – a ready-to-install device with a complete set of components (valve, pump, insulation, thermometer) eliminates the need to select and connect separate components; installation is carried out directly on the return pipe.
- Heating system designers – the TSV3B valve with automatic bypass balancing does not require an additional balancing valve, simplifying the design of the hydraulic system.
- Users of wood- and coal-fired boilers – protecting the heat exchanger against condensation and tar buildup results in higher combustion efficiency and less frequent servicing.
- Investors and developers – protection against low-temperature corrosion significantly extends the boiler’s service life, reducing the total operating cost of the heating system.
Application
IBOMAT API 25/45 is designed to protect solid-fuel boilers and fireplaces with water heat exchangers against low-temperature corrosion. The group is installed on the return pipe of the water heat exchanger and maintains the temperature of the water returning to the boiler above the valve’s opening temperature, preventing flue gas condensation on the surface of the heat exchanger. Depending on the variant, the maximum supported boiler output is 46 kW (variant 45), 42 kW (variant 50), or 36 kW (variant 55).
The built-in IPRO API 25-60/180 circulation pump forces the heating medium to circulate, while the integrated TSV3B valve with a thermostatic insert automatically mixes cold return water from the system with hot water from the boiler bypass – without the need for an external balancing valve. The working fluid may be water or a glycol solution with a maximum concentration of 50%.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – IBOMAT API 25/45 return protection pumping group
What is the IBOMAT API 25/45 used for, and why is return protection important?
IBOMAT API 25/45 protects a solid-fuel boiler or a fireplace with a water heat exchanger against low-temperature corrosion. When cold return water enters the boiler without being heated, water vapor from the flue gases condenses on the heat exchanger surface, causing corrosion and tar buildup. IBOMAT maintains the return temperature above the condensation threshold, increasing combustion efficiency and the boiler’s service life.
What is the difference between the IBOMAT 45, 50, and 55 variants?
The variants differ in the opening temperature of the TSV3B thermostatic valve and the maximum supported boiler output. Variant 45 opens at 45°C and supports boilers up to 46 kW, variant 50 opens at 50°C and supports boilers up to 42 kW, while variant 55 opens at 55°C and supports boilers up to 36 kW. The appropriate variant depends on the boiler manufacturer’s requirements regarding the minimum return temperature.
How does the TSV3B valve work, and why does it not need a balancing valve?
The TSV3B valve has an integrated thermostatic insert that blocks inlet “A” (from the heating system) until the return water temperature reaches the opening temperature – during this time, only hot water from the boiler bypass flows through the pump. Once the opening threshold is reached, the valve gradually mixes the return water with bypass water while automatically limiting the flow through the bypass. This automatic flow control eliminates the need to install a separate balancing valve.
Where can the IBOMAT API pumping group be purchased?
Dambat does not sell directly. IBOMAT API 25/45 is available from our commercial partners, heating and plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
What does the valve opening temperature mean, and how does it differ from the +5°C control range?
These are two separate parameters describing the operation of the TSV3B thermostatic valve. The opening temperature (45°C, 50°C, or 55°C depending on the variant) is the threshold at which the thermostatic insert begins opening the return water inlet from the system. The +5°C control range means that the valve moves smoothly from the fully closed position to the fully open position within a range 5°C above this temperature – for variant 45, this is therefore a range from 45°C to approximately 50°C. When selecting an IBOMAT variant, follow the boiler manufacturer’s requirements regarding the minimum return water temperature.
What are the warranty terms, and how can I contact the service department?
IBOMAT API 25/45 is covered by a 24-month (2-year) Dambat manufacturer’s warranty, calculated from the purchase date confirmed by the original proof of purchase.
