Advantages of installing solid fuel boilers

In private houses, it is often unprofitable to use an electric heating system.. If gas is not available, then the only way out is to install a solid fuel boiler. Also, such equipment is suitable as a backup heating system.. If the main boiler fails, or it turns off due to a breakdown, then a solid fuel plant is able to provide the proper quality of heating for the period of repair or restoration of work.

Wide range of solid fuels

Solid fuel equipment is capable of operating on a wide range of fuels:

• waste from woodworking;
• coke;
• wood;
• hard and brown coal.

Also there are models, able to operate on peat. Different types of solid fuel boilers can be "" on the website of a specialized company, sale of equipment for various fuels.

Work offline

Electric boilers are not able to work without connecting to the electrical network. Gas boilers need to be connected to the gas main, also requires electricity for ignition. Solid fuel boilers are less dependent on external sources. They are perfect for places, remote from civilization.

At the same time, solid fuel equipment needs maintenance.. It is required to periodically load fuel, clean the system from ash. In terms of autonomy, the most interesting are pellet units.. They can work without direct human participation for more than a week. The duration of operation of such systems is explained by the presence in the design of the fuel bunker, from where the compressed granules are fed evenly. Pellet solid fuel equipment has an efficiency within 90 percent.

High power

Equipment is on sale, allowing to heat objects up to 450 square meters. The most popular are considered to be units with a capacity ranging from 10 to 45 kW. For heating an area up to 100 square meters, a boiler with a capacity of no more than 13 kW. To maintain the temperature, it is enough 3,5 kilogram of fuel per hour.

Universal equipment

Manufacturers offer boilers, designed for one type of fuel, as well as universal models. The latter allow you to use, like firewood, and coal. However, important to remember, that it is not recommended to load coal into wood-burning boilers, since the burning rate, the calorie content of this fuel varies. Such a replacement can affect the rapid depletion of the resource., burnout of the case.
