Hot In The Summer? – Time For Underfloor Cooling Technology
10th June 2016
Fully automated systems operate exactly how they sound. Chipped or ground up waste wood is brought to the site by delivery trucks and dropped into a holding tank.
Semi automated or “Surge Bin” systems are very similar to fully automated systems except they require more manpower to keep operational.
The third main type of biomass heating systems are pellet-fired systems. Pellets are a processed form of wood, which make them more expensive. Although they are more expensive, they are much more condensed and uniform, and therefore are more efficient. In these systems, the pellets are stored in a grain-type storage silo, and gravity is used to move them to the boiler.
