THE UNIQUE ADVANTAGES OF AN ECONOBURN BOILER
HOW
Designed for use in residential, agricultural and light commercial applications (outputs from 100,000 to 500,000 BTUs), Econoburn’s wood-fueled boiler is a closed-loop system with an innovative gasification process that delivers optimal thermal efficency. Unlike its “open” counterparts, Econoburn’s pressurized, indoor-certified boilers feature forced downdraft flow of the wood gases into a secondary combustion chamber in which the wood gas combusts, yielding more energy release for every pound of wood burned. The result is cleaner, less expensive energy without having to be fully dependent on fossil fuels, thus giving you the flexibility of choice.
Typical Installations
Whether at home, the farm or a commercial installation, Econoburn wood-fueled boilers can function as the main furnace, or be seamlessly integrated to work in tandem with an existing furnace or boiler. This cooperative system enables your backup system to be utilized in the event you are away or not able to add more wood.
How Wood Gasification Increases Burning Efficiency...And Saves You Money!
s wood is burned in the firebox, fresh air is blown downward through the logs and coals. This creates a mixture of hot air and wood gases that are forced through our custom-made refractory where it meets a second jet of super-heated air, creating a torch-like combustion of the retained gases. This process — known as wood gasification — results in almost all the gases being burned with little soot, ash, or creosote residue. This energy is then transferred to Econoburn’s full water-jacket heat exchanger and used to heat your home or work environment. Even when the fire burns down, the refractory chamber maintains its temperature; once the heavy-duty draft fan starts, it re-ignites fresh wood.
Thermal Storage And How It’s Utilized
Simply stated, this is the modern way to burn wood in an efficient and smart way. Heat energy store in the form of hot water that you heating system draws from when needed is its purposeand make using and maintaining your Econoburn wood-fueled boiler amazingly easy.
Commercial Boiler Systems
With models available rated up to 500,000 Btu's, an Econoburn wood-fuel boiler can meet all of your commercial heating and hot water needs. Running two, three or more Econoburns in parallel is common and allows for best control to satisfy the heat demand.
