Automatic pellet burner “ERATO GP20+” – description and advantages
“ERATO GP20+”
is automatic pellet burner, which utilizes wood pellets.
The burner is designed to be installed on already operating heating boilers or
other equipment, thus allowing fuel switch procedure to a renewable energy
sources - biomass. The installed burner operates on wood pellets and the
thermal energy, resulting from the intensive combustion process is directed
to the heat exchange surfaces of a boiler or another thermal consumer.
The burner could utilize following types of fuel
•
Wood pellets, having diameter 6 and 8 mm, categorized in the range
of: A, AB, B (according to the methodology, developed for pellets
properties estimation in ERATO company);
