Currently, several methods of heating private homes are used. With its popularity, gas equipment comes first. But the ever-increasing cost of gas makes such systems less efficient. Electrical equipment is subject to the same disadvantages as gas. Their main advantage is uninterrupted work without human intervention.
Solid fuel equipment is cheaper. But you need to download them often enough. Therefore, long-burning boilers designed for a day of work are a good alternative to gas and electric.
What is a pyrolysis boiler
These devices try to use automation in organizing the combustion process.
Important to remember! It is impossible to stop the combustion process. And further ignition of the boiler is possible only in manual mode.
The designers' task is to create a smoldering process that would not stop for a long time and at any moment could develop into a burning process.
The principle of operation of a pyrolysis boiler for long burning
The boiler based on the pyrolysis effect is a boiler with a large loading chamber and two combustion chambers. In the first combustion chamber, if necessary, a smoldering mode is supported, as well as a fire ignition mode. The process of burning wood is always incomplete. The exhaust gases emitted during this process enter the second chamber, where oxygen is mixed with them, and then the process of final combustion of this mixture takes place. The combustion temperature reaches 1100 degrees Celsius.
Features of the boiler
Long burning pyrolysis boilers are available with both top and bottom fuel loads. Experts argue a lot about which option is better. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. Top-loading options have The advantage is that the smoldering and burning process dries up the firewood that is being prepared for burning. The disadvantage of both options is the fact that the boiler cannot be loaded with firewood. Therefore, such options have a very large camera for loading firewood and it must be fully loaded if the owner wants to achieve maximum time on a single load.
What you need to remember using a pyrolysis boiler
What do you need to remember the owner of such a system? The duration of the modern pyrolysis boilers can exceed 24 hours.
Important! To boot the system, you need to choose such a time that in a day you can make the next boot and service the boiler.
The maintenance of the system includes cleaning ash and cleaning the boiler, as well as the removal of condensate. Also one of the features of this type of boilers is the need to load firewood with a moisture percentage of at least 5. That is, it should be almost perfectly dry firewood. If this is not done, then such a boiler turns from pyrolysis to ordinary with an operating time of up to eight hours. With this treatment, the effectiveness of such a heating system is significantly reduced.
Are pyrolysis boilers safe
The main disadvantage of such systems is the inability of the automation to work when the power supply to the heating system is cut off, since the fans and pumps of the system are powered by electricity. Therefore, it is important to consider the possibility of cooling the system in case of a power outage.
