Blue fuel is constantly becoming more expensive, but gas heating is still the most popular option for heating a private house. The main reasons: efficiency, ease of use and reliability of energy supply - the pipe is blocked much less often than the electricity is turned off. The price of fuel depends on the country and region of residence....

Home »Fuel» Temperature and other characteristics of coal combustionThe theoretical temperature of coal combustion lies in the range of 1000 ... 2300 ° C and depends on a number of factors - combustion conditions, specific calorific value, moisture content and so on. Actual heating in the center of the flame burning in the furnace of the boiler or stove rarely exceeds 1200 degrees....

An ideal solid fuel does not exist. The use of wood, coal and various compressed waste gives its pros and cons, including financial ones. The homeowner's task is to choose the most profitable option. To clarify this issue, our expert Vitaliy Dashko experimentally burned different types of fuel in real conditions....

If you are guided by Wikipedia, the burning temperature of firewood is in the range of 800-1000 ° C (approximately), and the ignition and decay of a tree begins at 300 ° C. In fact, this range is even wider - from 450 to 1050 ° C. Not too accurate data, right? There is an explanation for this - the temperature in the center of the flame depends on many conditions....

Homeowners who heat their homes with solid fuel boilers and stoves are well aware of how difficult and inconvenient it is to burn small fractions of coal, and especially coal dust. Some of this fuel is poured into the ash compartment and is disposed of, while another blocks the air flow from the grate and therefore burns poorly....

To establish a small production of pellets at home for the purpose of economical heating of your own home is not an easy task, but to solve it is quite realistic. This is especially interesting for those owners of country houses who have the opportunity to receive raw materials for such production at a low price or even free of charge....

The average gas consumption in a private house or apartment is usually calculated in order to determine the cost of heating, hot water (DHW) and cooking. This is done even at the stage of building design or before choosing an energy carrier and a boiler unit for comparison with other types of fuel....

Semiconductor panels that convert the energy of the sun into electricity are usually installed for one purpose - to ensure the operation of household appliances.These enthusiasts do not stop there and try to adapt solar panels for heating the house. We suggest discussing this idea, consider possible methods of heating using photovoltaic panels....

The rise in price of energy resources stimulates the search for more efficient and cheaper types of fuel, including at the household level. Most enthusiastic craftsmen are attracted by hydrogen, whose calorific value is three times higher than methane (38.8 kW versus 13.8 with 1 kg of substance). The method of extraction at home, it would seem, is known - the splitting of water by electrolysis....

It cannot be denied that sawdust briquettes are one of the most effective types of solid fuel used for heating a house. They are high-calorie (heat output is about 5 kW per 1 kg when burning), have a low ash content, and are also convenient in storage, since they take up little space. But this fuel cannot be called cheap, of course, not everyone can afford to drown a boiler or stove with Eurodroves during the whole season....

You are the owner of a country house where main gas is not supplied, and electric networks are not designed for heavy loads, hence the allocated limit of 5 kW for all needs. Another variation on the topic: you are a rural resident of Ukraine, where the cost of blue fuel jumped to 7.2 UAH. (0.3 cu) for 1 m³, therefore you cannot use it because of low incomes....

As a result of the steady increase in the cost of energy, the owners of private houses naturally increase the demand for economical heating. The fact that the vast majority of dwellings was built in the Soviet era and in the early 90s also plays a role. Then people did not think about how much this or that energy carrier costs and how to heat a house, having low incomes....

The pyrolysis phenomenon always accompanies the burning of solid fuel in heating furnaces and boilers. The scale of the process depends on two factors - the combustion mode and the design of the home heat power plant. We offer a detailed look at the pyrolysis of wood or coal, options for its use in industrial and domestic conditions....
