By absorbing extra heat generated during the burn cycle heat storage allows wood boilers to operate with less tending lower emissions andhigher efficiency.
Thermal storage tank for wood boiler.
The benifits of wood burning w thermal storage optimized combustion by allowing the boiler to run wide open.
A heat storage system is an important component of modern wood boiler systems.
Heat is supplied by the boiler when there is a demand by the house.
Over the years we have taken some heat for being dogged proponents of the use of thermal storage in wood burning installations.
Heavy tank insulation holds stored heat allowing for 24 hours or more between burn cycles.
Thermal storage tanks are used in solar heating systems and wood boilers where you need to store the produced heat in water for later use.
Tarm biomass has been utilizing thermal storage with wood boilers since 1998.
Fully automatic wood pellet and wood chip boilers can be installed without thermal buffer tanks in some applications but the use of thermal storage is generally advised for reducing burner starts reducing wear on cycling parts decreasing emissions and the need for boiler service while improving heating response times.
However our belief in the use of thermal storage has given us decades of valuable integration experience.
The heat storage acts as a buffer between the boiler output and the house s heat demand.
