The use of wood chips is great for apartment buildings, farms and microgrid heating. The room discharge auger is driven by a geared motor. This is easily accessible outside the bunker in the boiler room. The screw conveyor directly drives the floor agitator with spring blades via an angular gear. The wood chips fall through the drop step with rotary valve directly into the stoker screw channel. No thermal safety device is necessary.
With the surface-sealing 2-chamber sluice, the pieces of wood
that are too long can be easily cut to size.
The lambda probe measures the oxygen contained in the exhaust gas. The measured value is then passed on to a controller, where it is compared with the oxygen content in the atmospheric air. The controller then determines the oxygen requirement for optimal combustion. The air flaps on the boiler are then controlled accordingly.
