3. Pre-Installation Considerations
3.1 Pellets
Wood pellets are manufactured by hot-extruding
compressed sawdust which is produced during the working
of natural dried wood. The compactness of the material
comes from the lignin which is contained in the wood itself,
and allows the production of pellets without the use of glues
or binders.
The market offers different types of pellet with
characteristics which vary depending on what mixture of
wood is used. The diameter varies between 6mm and 8mm,
with a standard length in the range 5mm to 30mm. Good
quality pellets have a density which varies between
600kg/m
3
and 750kg/m
3
, with a moisture content which
varies from 5% to 8% by weight.
Besides being an ecological fuel (exploiting timber residues
to the maximum and achieving cleaner combustion than is
possible with fossil fuels), pellets also have technical
advantages. While good-quality timber has a calorific power
of 4.4kW/kg (with 15% moisture, therefore after about 18
months’ seasoning), the equivalent figure for pellets is
4.9kW/kg.
To ensure good combustion, the pellets must be stored in an
area that is free of humidity and protected from dirt. The
pellets are usually supplied in 10kg bags, so storing them is
very convenient. Good quality pellets ensure good
combustion, thus lowering the emission of harmful agents
into the atmosphere.
The poorer the quality of fuel, the more frequently
intervention will be necessary for cleaning the internal
parts, such as the grate and the combustion chamber.
The main certification of quality for pellets in the European
market is Enplus-A1 there ensure respect of:
Calorific power: 4.9kW/kg
Water content: max 10% of weight
Diameter: 6mm
Length: max 30mm
Contents: 100% untreated wood, with no added bonding
substances (bark percentage 5% max)
Packaging: in sacks made from ecologically compatible or
biologically decomposing material.
T R Engineering Ltd recommends using certified fuel in its
appliances to Enplus-A1. The use of fuel of inferior quality
or not conforming to the specification given above
compromises the running of your appliance and can
