Pellet boilers are one of the most modern types of boilers for heating and heating water, mainly due to the fact that this type of fuel appeared recently. We can say that today boilers on pellets are the most economical and environmentally friendly, of all existing. Pellets are a granular biologically pure fuel. In terms of their characteristics, they are no worse than classic solid fuel, which allows them to use them in various industries. The most popular and common are wood pellets. In appearance, they resemble small cylinders, with a diameter of 5 to 15 mm and a length of 50 to 200 mm. They are carried out by processing wood waste – sawdust, chips, wood bark.
This raw materials are very cheap, t. To. in fact it is waste, and pellets are a by -product of production. Due to the convenient structure, they are convenient in overload, transportation and storage. But their main advantage over conventional fuel types is environmental friendliness, pellets are made from renewable resources, which used to be disposed of, and the ash level is about 0.5% of the volume of fuel, and ash can be used as a fertilizer as a fertilizer.
Piellet boilers make many different types and sets, but general principles are automatic supply of fuel from the bunker, and maintaining the necessary temperature of the coolant. Operations that need to be carried out regularly with pellet boilers – remove the ash and load fuel into the bunker. Ensuring hot water is an option of the boiler, for this it is equipped with an additional contour. Thermal power of household boilers is in the range. for efficiency 85-95%. This is enough for heating even a large house.
However, buying a boiler on pellets is completely optional. The usual solid fuel boiler can be converted to power pellets. To do this, you need to make a bunker and buy a separate burner and a pellet supply mechanism. Then mount the burner and the supply system to the boiler.
Such boilers pay off in 1-2 years, depending on the power and manufacturer. The pellet boiler does not need additional maintenance, and does not require special permits. Removing ash from bunker is required, usually every 2-3 months.
