Pellet stoves operate using small, dense cylinders known as pellets, which are usually made from wood waste such as sawdust and shavings. These pellets are a environmentally sustainable fuel and we offer a greener alternative to traditional fossil fuels.
These stoves are very simple to use. The pellets are stored in a tank and transported automatically to the combustion zone, usually through a mechanism such as an auger. Once in this area, the pellets ignite, producing heat that is used to warm the air or water. This hot air or water is then distributed throughout the room or home.
One of the main advantages of pellet stoves is high combustion efficiencyThis leads to minimal emissions of pollutants. This is achieved by combustion at high temperatures under optimally controlled conditions, ensuring complete combustion of the pellets. Thus, the emission of particles and gases harmful to the environment is significantly reduced.
Advantages of pellet stoves
- Automatic. Most modern pellet stoves have automation systems that regulate pellet input, temperature and heat distribution, making them easier to use and ensuring optimum performance.
- Economic. Although the initial cost of the stove is higher than other heating systems, the price of pellets is generally more stable and cheaper than other fuels; This means savings in the long run.
- Ecological. As mentioned above, pellets are a renewable fuel. Its use not only reduces dependence on fossil fuels, but since it is a product of forest waste, its production also contributes to the sustainable management of forests.
- Productive. Pellet stoves are very energy efficient and can achieve over 90% efficiency. This means they utilize most of the energy contained in the fuel; This means lower consumption and economic savings.
HE a consumption pellet stove varies depending on power and the thermal needs of the space. For example, an 8 kW stove can consume between 0.5 and 2 kg of pellets per hour, depending on its configuration and demand level. It is important to emphasize that thanks to its high efficiency, pellet consumption translates into generous heat production.
