Product catalog summary
Introduction to Wood Heating Systems
Wood heating systems, ranging from 100 to 1700 kW, provide a sustainable, CO2 neutral, and economical alternative to fossil fuel systems. These systems are automated, reliable, and support local economies by using locally sourced wood.
Benefits of Wood Heating
  • Sustainability: Wood is renewable when harvested sustainably.
  • CO2 Neutrality: Combustion CO2 emissions equal the CO2 absorbed by trees during growth.
  • Economical: Wood is cost-effective and less prone to price fluctuations than fossil fuels.
  • Technological Advancements: Modern systems feature advanced control and safety devices.
Types of Wood Fuels
  • Pellets: High calorific value, should meet standards like EN Plus.
  • Wood Shavings: By-products from wood processing.
  • Mixed Wood: Combination of woodchips and shavings.
  • Bark and Wood Dust: Residual materials from processing.
  • Woodchips: Small pieces of natural wood, with or without bark.
Wood Boiler Models
  • Pyrot: Rotation combustion for pellets, woodchips, and shavings with up to 35% water content. High efficiency and low emissions.
  • Pyrotec: Grate combustion for a wide range of fuels with up to 50% water content. Durable and efficient.
  • Pyroflex (Type FSB): Suitable for fuels with high ash and water content, featuring flat moving grate combustion.
System Technology and Control
Advanced control units ensure optimal combustion and efficiency, with digital modulating output control and monitoring of various parameters.
Applications
Ideal for commercial and industrial use, including schools, hospitals, and district heating networks. Can integrate with solar thermal, oil, or gas boilers for comprehensive solutions.
Specifications and Control Units
The Pyroflex system includes a microprocessor control unit for fuel management and safety. Pyrot and Pyrotec boilers are designed for quick installation and ease of operation.

Why heat with wood? The rising cost of fossil fuel and growing environmental awareness are resulting in an ever-increasing demand for renewable forms of energy. Today heating with wood is an environmentally friendly and economical alternative or addition to conventional heating systems for fossil fuels. Sustainable When wood is harvested within the context of sustainable forestry, it is a renewable and environmentally friendly source of energy and an important part of sustainable resource management. CO2 neutral When wood is burned, only so much CO 2 is released as the trees have actually absorbed...

Things you need to know about wood What types of wood can be used? Wood boilers can be operated using a wide variety of wood fuels with different net caloric values, storage requirements and costs. The type of fuel chosen depends on the available storage capacity, the facility's requirements and the availability of the different fuel types. Since the fuel quality inuences the efficiency and service life of the facility, good-quality untreated wood with a low moisture content should be selected. How economical is wood heating? With a biomass system, approximately 50 percent of the total operating...

Pellets Pellets are the most compact form of wood energy and offer a high caloric value. Ensure that the pellets conform to standard branded quality (e.g. EN Plus, DIN Plus or ÖNORM). Wood shavings Untreated wood shavings are wood processing by-products from facilities such as sawmills and joinery workshops. Woodchips Woodchips are small pieces (e.g. chips) of natural wood, with or without bark. Mixed wood Untreated mixtures of woodchips and wood shavings are classied as mixed wood. Bark Bark is the term used to designate shredded bark residue. Wood dust Wood dust is the residual dust generated...
