Wood Boiler

Executive Summary about Wood Boiler by Josh Riversid

wood boilers

Wood is a traditional form of fuel, which was used in the past but is also considered an important fuel in the present, in terms of its suitability for modern gadgets. Wood boiler is heating systems that use wood chips or wood pellets as fuel.

There is a difference between the wood boilers that use wood chips and those that employ wood pellets as fuel. The former is larger since wood chips are larger than wood pellets. Wood pellets, which serve as a fuel for wood boilers, is obtained from the compression of sawdust, a readily available industrial waste product.

Major wood boilers make use of a downdraft wood gasification device. This burns wood of all kinds with varying degrees of moisture present in them. These wood boilers function by extracting the wood gases with the help of an induction fan, and then burning them below the wood to make certain that the combustion is more complete.

The wood is repeatedly heated by the burning of gases below it. This ensures the steady rise of gases from the wood. The wood does not burn, but it makes sure that a steady supply of gas is easily available.  As the combustion is limited only to the gases, a wood boiler can burn wood with a greater variety of moisture content.

Such wood boilers have a system that entails an automatic switchover to oil heat, gas heat or electric heat backup. Another important trait of such wood boiler is the optional lockout system. This helps in sustaining the secondary fuel mode, in case the wood charge is exhausted.

Wood Boilers Save Money And The Environment

Executive Summary about Wood Boiler by Christopher Dardick

Modern wood boilers utilize gasification burning technology to get an amazing 87% energy efficiency from traditional wood fuel sources. These wood boilers utilize a combustion technology called ‘Gasification’ to capture, extract and transfer this energy that typical wood furnaces simply waste.

As the wood is burned in the firebox, fresh air is blown downwards through the logs and coals. This results in a torch like combustion of the retained gases, at spectacular temperatures exceeding 1800 degrees. The result: almost all the gases are burned, with little residual soot or creosote, and the extra energy extracted is transferred to a full jacket heat exchanger.

This extraordinary process allows gasification wood boiler to achieve overall heating efficiencies of almost 90%! A long burn cycle of up to 8-10 hours, means less hassle, more comfort. Gasification wood boilers burn cleanly, with little creosote or ash, almost eliminating the risk of chimney fire.

With virtually no exhaust gases, they help ease the burden on the environment, and greenhouse gas emissions, while burning wood, nature’s oldest renewable fuel. Did you know you can install and integrate wood boilers with your existing heating system, so when you are not home, your conventional furnace conveniently runs? When you return home, it’s back to the savings!

Burn any kind of wood you like, including pallets, chip, waste, and even fresh cut green wood. No waiting years for your wood piles to cure. Alternative Fuel Boilers, a division of Dunkirk Metal Products, is proud to offer the Econoburn^TM line of wood gasification boilers.
