Recently, more and more people have decided to install a pellet boiler in their home. For this heating method to be efficient and economical, it is necessary to properly set up the device. The correct combustion process depends on the access to the right amount of air and the use of good quality fuel – in appropriate quantities. What should you know before using a pellet boiler? What mistakes should you avoid so that heating your home does not strain your home budget?
The key to success is the proper setting of the heating device. How to economically set up a pellet boiler? Regulation lies with the company that hands over the device to the customer. Typically, an exhaust gas analyzer is used for this purpose. The boiler, when set correctly, burns pellets in an economical mode. The correctness of the combustion process can be assessed by observing the color and structure of the smoke and the texture of the ash.
For pellet burning to be economical, a constant air supply to the room where the boiler is located is necessary. Pellet boilers are efficient if they have a chimney with a properly adapted cross-section. DEFRO brand devices, combined with good quality pellets and proper burning method, are characterized by energy efficiency and long service life.
For pellet burning to be economical, remember that it is necessary to place the appropriate amount of fuel in the feeder. If there are too many pellets, the smoke released will be dark and rich in harmful substances. In order not to damage the boiler, an appropriate amount of air is also necessary. A sooty chamber with a large amount of soot significantly reduces efficiency and may lead to defects. You can save money by purchasing good quality pellets.
The solutions available on the market make operating the boiler very simple and intuitive. The DEFRO brand offer includes furnaces equipped with modern, colorful displays. The Eko Slim model allows you to control the fan, remotely start and stop, and also has an exhaust gas, flame and temperature sensor. All these options allow you to analyze the combustion process on an ongoing basis and optimize it to reduce costs. You can find more information about DEFRO pellet boilers here.
A common mistake is keeping the temperature too low. The combustion chamber then acquires a black, tar-like color. If you notice this type of abnormality, give a little more air. On the other hand, if there is too little air, the combustion chamber turns white.
If you notice dark smoke coming out even when the chimney is heated, it is recommended to reduce the amount of pellets fed to the feeder. The key to effective pellet combustion is to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and analyze the combustion process on an ongoing basis.
