greater amounts of ash and smoke, as well as making it increasingly
unfit for storage. In addition, this can lead to extensive tarring of the
boiler, the flue pipe and chimney, and cause a chimney fire.
Logs should therefore be split before they are cured. This is done in
order to achieve a water content which makes them suitable for
burning within a reasonable amount of time (approx. two years).
The maximum permissible water content of log wood for the HDG
F20-50 is 20% (M20).
For technical considerations, a representative calorific value is
selected depending on water content. For burning that is both
economical and low on emissions, the calorific value should not be
less than 4 kWh/kg.

BRIQUETTES
Pressed wood briquettes are pressed shavings, with or without
various forms of additives, with a diameter of more than 25 mm.
Essential criteria for the definition of the property classes are the
length and diameter, moisture content and ash content of the fuel.

CONTENT
The ideal ash content is a maximum of 1.0% by weight (A1.0) which
complies with property class A1. When using pressed wood
briquettes with a higher ash content (A2 and B) , secondary measures
(filter technology) may be necessary for complying with the dust
emission values according to the 1st Federal Emission Control
Ordinance (2nd stage).
