Log wood
Log wood
In Austria and Germany, many people live in the immediate vicinity of forests and/or forestry operations or even own a piece of forest themselves. This means they have direct access to wood, which makes the operation of a log wood boiler quite interesting for them.
Ever since fire was invented, people have been using wood to keep themselves warm. Already 2000 years B.C. the Greeks operated their then innovative underfloor heating by burning wood. Even today, firewood is still an integral part of our world as a fuel. As a biogenic fuel, wood is CO²-neutral when burned and is far cheaper than fossil fuels.
The water content of freshly felled wood is between 45 and 60%. If it is burned directly, it does not generate the required heat, releases significantly more pollutants and is harmful to both the boiler and the chimney. When properly stored, firewood takes about 250 days to dry before it can be used. For optimal combustion, the water content should transfer 15 to 20%.
Log wood boilers from Biotech offer modern comfort and natural warmth without much effort. A modern log boiler helps
its owner with the lowest energy costs, maximum efficiency of his heating and pleasant warmth from wood. Added to this is the great security of supply and independence from energy imports through the use of our own logs.
Log wood boilers are often combined with buffer storage tanks in order to allow the log wood to be refilled by hand as infrequently as possible. Boiler combinations that can be heated with logs or pellets offer even more flexibility.
