Calorific value (definition)

Calorific value is the amount of heat released when a given amount of fuel is completely burned by a boiler. It is measured in joules (J) or kilocalories (kcal) per unit mass (e.g. kilogram) or volume of fuel (e.g. cubic meter). Calorific value: basic aspects Lower calorific value (LCV): Considers only the heat released during combustion of fuel without taking into account the latent […]

Forced smoke exhaust (definition)

Forced smoke extraction is a system for removing flue gases from the combustion chamber during boiler operation, which is carried out using mechanical devices such as fans or smoke exhausters. Unlike natural smoke extraction, which relies on temperature differences and convection, forced smoke extraction ensures active and controlled removal of flue gases from the system. Forced smoke extraction: main aspects Operating principle: […]

Pyrolysis (definition)

Pyrolysis in the context of pyrolysis boilers is a process of thermochemical decomposition of organic matter at high temperatures and low oxygen levels, resulting in combustible gases, liquid products and solid residues. Pyrolysis boilers use this process to burn solid fuels such as wood, coal or pellets more efficiently and cleanly. Pyrolysis: Basic Aspects Process: Decomposition: […]

Exhaust gas (definition)

Waste gas in the context of pyrolysis technology is a mixture of gases formed during the thermochemical decomposition of organic materials at high temperature and low oxygen content. Pyrolysis is used to convert solid organic matter such as wood, coal or biomass into more valuable products such as syngas, coal gas or biomass. Waste gas: use in pyrolysis Pyrolysis process: […]

Condensing boiler (definition)

A condensing boiler is a type of heating boiler that uses the condensing heat released when water vapor condenses to improve its efficiency and reduce energy consumption. Condensing boilers are designed to extract additional heat from the combustion products that would normally be lost in traditional boilers. Condensing Boiler: Basic Aspects Operating Principle: Condensation: As fuel is burned in the boiler, […]

Heat of condensation (definition)

Heat of condensation is the amount of heat released when steam condenses into a liquid. This process occurs when steam, which is in a gaseous state, is cooled to a temperature at which it changes to a liquid phase, forming condensate. Heat of condensation: basic aspects Condensation process: Description: Condensation occurs when steam is cooled to a temperature below the dew point. In this process, the steam loses its […]

Climate control (definition)

Climate control is a control system designed to automatically maintain specified climatic conditions in a room or building. In the context of heating systems with a boiler, microcontroller, weather regulator, pump groups and heat accumulator, climate control ensures optimization of the heating system to achieve maximum comfort and energy efficiency. Climate control: main components and features Boiler with microcontroller: Function: The microcontroller in the boiler controls the process […]

Convection boiler (definition)

A convection boiler is a type of heating equipment that uses convection to transfer heat into a room. The basic principle of such a boiler is that it heats air, which then circulates around the room, transferring heat from the heating source to the surrounding space. Convection boiler: main characteristics Operating principle: In a convection boiler, the coolant (usually water) is heated in the boiler […]

Double-circuit boiler (definition)

A double-circuit boiler is a type of heating boiler that is designed to simultaneously perform two functions: heating a room and providing hot water supply (DHW). A double-circuit boiler has two separate circuits: Primary circuit: Designed to circulate the coolant in the heating system, providing heat to radiators or other heating devices. Secondary circuit: Used to heat water for domestic needs, […]

Ground probe (definition)

A ground probe is an element of a geothermal heating system, which is a vertical or horizontal pipe buried in the ground to a certain depth. The main function of the ground probe is to collect heat from the ground and transfer it to the coolant that circulates inside the probe. Ground probe: application features Ground probes are usually used in combination with heat pumps for heating and cooling […]
