7.d. Permissible and suitable fuels
Important preconditions:
The fuels’ water content should be maximum 20 %.
The firewood has to be dry. The natural drying process lasts 1 ½ - 2 ½ years. This
process can occur outdoors (covered up) and should be continued in an appropriate shed.
The Walltherm boiler is totally planned as wood boiler and is therefore for the following
types of wood particularly suitable:
Guideline for the storage
chopped hardwood: max. Ø 8 cm
hardwood: 2 – 2 ½ years
chopped softwood: max. Ø 8 cm
softwood: 1 ½ - 2 years
length of the wood: max. 35 cm
Attention: Wood which is still damp and has not been stored long enough
reaches only the half of its real calorific value!
Indication: The stove also works when constantly burning.
In small quantities you can also use woodchips (maximum water content 25 %)
Pressed wood/briquettes of shaving wood which are not produced with binders, if 50
% log of wood are added. Therefore the proportion of pressed wood can be 50 %.
The boiler is only for the combustion of the above mentioned wood fuels and
combinations suited. For the use of other fuels we do not take any responsibility for the
boiler’s function and working life.
The burning of garbage and painted wood or wood which has a
coat of halogen is forbidden. These chemical compounds can cause
highly toxic exhaust fumes and corrosion damages in the heat
exchanger.
Please notice!
Fuels which you must not burn:
free sawdust, hard/glance coal, coke
wood garbage with a coat of synthetic material/plastic
all sorts of garbage
anything that creates acids or other toxics when burning
