Wood-fired workshop heating

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]

Workshop or site heating is a mobile device. It is used as a main or auxiliary heat source, and is suitable for generating a warm air current. These devices can become even more powerful if combined with other specific accessories. Workshop heating equipment comes in many forms. However, wood-fired models offer a number of advantages, including a good price/performance ratio.

Polypoles proposal

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In view of the ever-increasing cost of fuel oil and gas, we proposed a wood-fired generator. In this way, customers can convert their scrap wood into energy.

Solutions provided by Polypoles

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The F range wood furnace is the ideal economical solution for our customer’s business. It delivers heating quality on the same scale as a traditional system running on fossil fuels such as oil and gas.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

• Installation of a FABRI F115 kW wood-fired furnace
• Installation of a Ø 180 double-skin smoke pipe

The generator was installed inside the workshop using bulk blowing technology, and we connected the smoke system to the outside.

Why use wood heating?

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Wood heating is one of the most widely used types of heat-generating equipment. Both ecological and economical, wood-burning appliances are particularly efficient and guarantee a long service life. They are equivalent to any type ofheating equipment, from condensing gas boilers to heat pumps. Heating with wood is an environmentally-friendly solution that considerably reduces energy consumption. Its design aspect is particularly noticeable in stoves and fireplaces. You can also regulate the temperature with a biomass boiler such as a heat pump or other systems.

Although wood-burning appliances are environmentally friendly, it is possible to reduce emissions even further thanks to double combustion. This process increases the calorific value of wood. It works in conjunction with certain wood-burning stoves or log-fired boilers. The purpose of these devices is to provide a second puff of air, to return the gases from the first combustion to the flames. As a result, energy consumption and gas emissions are considerably reduced.

Woodworkshop heaters are designed for industrial environments, carpentryworkshops and repair shops. Specialists in cabinetry, metalwork and ironmongery also opt for this solution. Wood-burning appliances are available for use in the home. Those designed for on-site use have a large volume corresponding to the power required.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Choosing the right wood-fired workshop heating equipment

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Before even considering the type of equipment, it’s imperative to have a precise idea of the volume of air to be heated. Indeed, the choice will depend in part on this last aspect. We also need to take into account the location of the workshop, itsinsulation level and its configuration.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Volume of air to be heated

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In most workshops, the volume to be heated is quite large. The heating capacity of the unit will therefore be proportional to the size of the workshop. Expressed in Watts, power is defined as a function of the volume in m³ of the workshop to be heated. In practical terms, the standard formula for benefiting from the heater’s performance is: 1m³ of air=40 watts of heating power. The calculation is based on height and surface area. So, 1m² of surface to be heated = 100 watts of power. For a poorly insulated location, you will need to add 15% of this power to obtain a proportional result.

Depending on the volume, air destratification will be desirable for optimal volume mixing.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

The different types of wood-burning workshop heaters

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Given the volume of air to be heated, it’s much more practical to use wood furnaces or woodpellet/biomass furnaces.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Workshop stoves hot air generator

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Workshop stoves are heating appliances that operate by blowing large volumes of air into rooms. They spread heat rapidly throughout the interior space. They’re ideal for car workshops, carpentry workshops, warehouses and many more. Its operation is similar to that of a radiant fireplace . At Stoves, on the other hand, radiate much more heat.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Wood-fired furnaces

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Wood-fired furnaces are the most efficient. They propagate heat throughout the workshop at high flow rates. Also known as a forced-air wood-fired boiler, it is specially designed for workshops, furnaces, warehouses and all kinds of large spaces. They run solely on wood, reducing energy costs. They also feature a fan for even heat distribution. You can also carry out drying operations with wood-fired hot air generators.

Since they run on wood, the purchase price is still quite affordable compared with other energy systems.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

The pellet furnace

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The pellet-fired furnace is by far the least expensive manual-loading version, and requires no complex system. This is a warm-air heating system with a built-in radiator/heater . It works exclusively with wood pellets or biomass.

The stand-alone version is more expensive because of all the on-board automatic systems.(auger, temperature control, ash extraction).[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Wood fuels you can use in these workshop heaters

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]For workshops that have opted to use wood-burning stoves and furnaces, wood and wood waste fuels are welcome. The temperature of these products remains above 900 degrees. Solid-fuel furnaces are compatible with wood and wood waste fuels: wood chips and coal. Wood pellet generators, as their name suggests, run exclusively on wood pellets. For safety reasons, regulations insist that wood waste containing glue, varnish or similar substances must not be burned. Burning them could damage human health or the ecological balance of the environment.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Other energy sources for workshop heaters

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In addition to wood-fired workshop heaters, there are also electric, gas and oil-fired workshop heaters. Of all existing workshop heaters, fuel oils remain the most powerful. Also known as hot-air cannons, they are powered by electricity. The size and weight of such devices do not go unnoticed. There are two types: direct combustion and indirect combustion. The former is much more practical for larger rooms, while the other version offers greater flexibility.

No matter which type of oil-fired workshop heater you choose, the price remains high. At the same time, wood workshop heating offers the same advantages at a much more affordable price. It is also a renewable energy source. It is therefore more advantageous to opt for a wood workshop heater.

Biomass” renewable energy

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Wood-fired generators are known for burning this fuel, but biomass heating
biomass heating
opens up new energy sources that are little-known to the general public.

• Olive stones, cherries, prunes, peaches, apricots, nectarines
• Almond or coconut shells
• Miscanthus
• Grape seeds
• Vine beds

For wood: forestry pellets or chips(P31 – ISO 17225 standard)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Discover our other achievements” align=”center” i_align=”right” i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-angle-double-right” add_icon=”true” link=”url:/realisations%2F|title:Our%20achievements|”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
