Pellets & logs as fuel

Pellets are small, standardized wooden compacts that are made from waste products from the wood processing industry, such as sawdust or wood chips. They do not contain any chemical binding agents and are only pressed together using high pressure to then obtain their typical cylindrical shape. Pellets, like all wood-like fuels, are therefore considered CO2-neutral and are considered biogenic fuels. They are inexpensive and price-stable because wood, as a constantly renewable raw material, can also be sourced regionally.

In combination with logs, heating with these two fuels is innovative and easy. While the pellets are used for automatic ignition, the logs provide the energy needed for the rest of the daily heating needs. This reduces the effort to a minimum and the boiler gets the best benefits from both fuels.

The Storing the pellets is versatile and can be adapted to almost all circumstances. No matter whether outside or in the building, in the basement or in the attic - there is space for pellets everywhere. If no separate room is available, one can be used Bag silo If there is not enough space in the house for this, the small bundles of energy can also be stored outside in an underground tank. For a house of around 150 m² you need around 6 m³ of pellets per year. That's around 4 m² of storage space required. Pellets are the most space-saving fuels made from wood and by a large margin.

The most important thing when storing pellets is a dry, well-ventilated environment. If the pellets come into contact with water or if the humidity is too high, they swell and become unusable. However, humidity levels such as those found in living spaces do not harm the fuel.

In contrast to other fuels, logs do not require any special storage space and can easily be stored in the boiler room as well as outside. The only requirement is that the stacked wood is protected from rain. Regardless of whether it is covered or covered with a waterproof tarpaulin. However, the latter is suitable for wood that has already completely dried. Otherwise excess moisture cannot escape. However, ready-split firewood is usually already sufficiently dried.
