2. THEORETICAL NOTIONS FOR THE INSTALLATION
2.1. PELLETS
The pellet is obtained by processing the sawdust produced during working wood and timber (dried wood and paint free).
The compactness of the material is guaranteed by 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 pellets with characteristics that vary based on mixtures of wood used. The diameter
varies between 6 and 8 mm, with a standard length between 5 and 30 mm. The pellets of good quality has a density
ranging from 600 to more than 750 kg / m3 with a water content that is maintained between 5% and 8% of its weight.
In addition to being an environmentally friendly fuel, as you push the limits of wood residues resulting in a
cleaner- burning than that produced with fossil fuels, the pellets also have technical advantages. While a good wood
has a calorific value of 4.4 kW / kg (15% RH, after 18 months of seasoning), the pellet is 4.9 kW / kg.
To ensure good combustion, and no power problems, it is imperative that the pellets are stored in a dry place,
protected from dirt, and the thermos-stove is placed in a place where the conditions are the same, not to generate the
same type of problems on the power pellets in the tank. The pellet is usually supplied in 10, 14 or 15 kg bags, so
storage is very handy.
A good quality pellet ensures good combustion lowering harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
