NEWS : KWB Multifire Wood Pellet Boiler and Performance Statistics

KWB is one of the leading wood pellet boiler manufactures in Europe, they produce highly advanced pellet burners which provide the highest efficiencies and lowest maintenance. KWB have also been working on a project to enable their pellet boilers to produce electricity with the help of a Stirling engine fitted to the top of the pellet boiler. These systems are not yet available, however KWB believe, as do we and many others, that combined heat and power is the future. The KWB Multifire pellet boiler range comes in many different sizes from 15 up to a maximum of 100Kw's. Obviously the size of the units and hopper sizes change dramatically. The 15Kw unit is suitable for residential applications, and the larger units are suitable for very large homes or industrial applications. The KWB Multifire is built around a vertical design, with vertical heat exchanges which also have cleaning springs to remove ash build up and reduce work.

The KWB Multifire features an underfed or bottom fed burn pot design that takes advantages of gasification principles to increase the burn efficiency beyond that of most wood pellet boilers. The KWB Multifire features oxygen and temperature censors to monitor the combustion zone to make alternations to make combustion as efficient and possible and produce some of the lowest emission results seen from an pellet stove or boiler. Safety is a key priority of KWB and the Multifire has three main safety features. These features include a fuel recognition sensor, a emergency fire extinguisher fitted below the burn pot and a gas tight air seal. One of the other key features of the KWB Multifire is the ash compression system. Ash is collected from the burn chamber with an auger and compressed into an ash box. When full the boiler will alert the user to empty the ash box. The ash box has a extended handle and wheels to make carrying the box easy and quick. The ash can actually be used on your garden as a soil conditioner, particularly good for strawberries. You can even control the KWB Multifire via TXT message. In summary this is about the best pellet boiler out.

Future Types Of Biomass Fuel Pellets Made Locally and Affordable

Currently premium wood pellets, which practically all consumers use, are cheaper than oil, but more than likely the price will stay just below the price of oil. Therefore they will always be the cheaper option, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are affordable. One of the best ways to produce a more affordable fuel pellet is to use resources which are currently low value or free, and can be processed locally. Local pellet production and distribution removes one the key costs, transportation. No matter how cheap the pellets are to produce in a huge factory, if those pellets have to be transported thousands of miles that means using oil, and therefore makes them much more expensive. If you can use local resources to produce local fuel pellets with minimal transportation this produces a much more affordable fuel pellet. It also has the benefit of providing a huge number of local long term jobs. However, these locally made wood pellets will not burn the same as premium grade pellets, and will generate more ash. Therefore you need a quality pellet boiler or stove.
