3.0 Fuel’s technical characteristics
Pellet is a product made of various types of compressed wood. The
mechanical process of pellet production complies with the environmental
protection regulations.
Various types of wood can be used for the production of pellet as wood
residues or by-products, agricultural crop residues etc.
This manual refers to devices that operate efficiently and without problems
by using only wood pellets. Maximum performance and minimal
maintenance is obtained.
The efficiency and thermal capacity of the stove varies depending on the type
and quality of the pellet.
For better operation, it is recommended to use pellet with the following
characteristics:
Diameter
≈
6 mm
Length
≈ 30mm
Maximum moisture content
8 – 9%
Do not use the stove’s flame to ignite eg cigarettes, candles,
etc.
It is forbidden to use a flexible chimney, mainly aluminum
chimney. There is a risk of fire.
Pellet should be stored in a dry environment and not very cold.
Pellet should be stored in places where temperature and humidity values are
acceptable.
Cold pellet (<5 °C) reduces the thermal capacity of the fuel and requires
better maintenance/cleaning in the pot and in the entire combustion
chamber.
