Optimal design pellet boiler and the price of the issue

Increasingly, buyers are interested in the issue of switching to pelleted fuel and the power ratio between the FOCUS flare burner and the basic solid fuel (usually) boiler. At the same time, it is analyzed what design a pellet boiler should have, the price of which is always higher, and for which manufacturers take money.

Mini-boiler houses with high power based on pellet boilers

Pellet boiler rooms can have a high power, taking up minimal space. This is a feature of the technology. It is associated with the high power of volumetric combustion obtained from a small volume of fuel.

For a pellet boiler, the price depends on the cost of the structure with the manufacturer's profit. It provides the following built-in modules:

• firebox;
• pellet burner, built-in or external;
• heat exchanger for the selection of combustion heat and combustion products;
• boiler cleaning system;
• pellet feeding system to the torch burner;
• a bunker for loading granular fuel;
• augers for fuel supply.

In ready-made pellet boilers, this is all implemented in one floor module. In practice, a pellet boiler room can be implemented using separate modules. This is exactly the solution that FOCUS brand numerous owners of real estate and solid fuel boilers.

What is needed to switch to pellets:

• pellet burner FOCUS with a built-in feeding system, cooling and cleaning of the device (functions are implemented in different ways, depending on the power of the model);
• solid fuel boiler commensurate power;
• bunker for storage and loading of pellets.

Such a pellet boiler house can generate up to 900 kW of heat, taking up a minimum of space and is used for heating a residential building and large-scale production.

Pellet boilers with automatic feeding and their price

Nevertheless, automatic feeding in pellet boilers does not imply the direct supply of pellets to the bunker, but the operation of the boiler room in an autonomous mode. Similar models are commercially available. Their cost is quite high. The manufacturers build the bunker into the boiler design (for a pellet boiler, the price depends on its volume). A feed auger or conveyor is connected to it. Depending on the volume of the storage place and the implementation of the supply, the price will vary. Usually it exceeds 100 thousand UAH for boilers with continuous long-term operation.

Still, the price for a pellet boiler depends more on the design of heat extraction for the coolant. The more complex and efficient it is, the higher the cost of heating equipment.

The FOCUS brand offers a less expensive but more efficient solution thanks to a digital control system. You can buy from us:

• solid fuel boilers with a capacity of 100-500 kW with an efficient heat exchanger that has no analogues;
• pellet burners 17-900 kW with cleaning, cooling and pellet feeding screw;
• storage bin for pellets.

A pellet mini-boiler room will be much cheaper for home and for production. The equipment is controlled remotely on the basis of the PLUM family of microcontrollers and heat regulators, fully realizing the ideas of "Smart Home" in heating a home, office or industrial premises.

In general, what do manufacturers take money for? It is for an effective solution that can be implemented at a lower cost.
