Automatic solid fuel boilers: best manufacturers and prices

The appearance on the market of solid fuel boilers with automatic feeding has greatly simplified the lives of many consumers for whom gas or electric heating is not available. The development of production has led to the creation of many models for various purposes. Knowledge about the structure, operating principles and types of automatic units will help you choose the most suitable and profitable option.

Features of boilers with automatic feed

The elements of the boiler installation, which are directly responsible for burning fuel and transferring heat to the home heating system, do not differ significantly from conventional solid fuel devices.

The main operational advantage of devices with automatic feeding is ensured by the presence of three basic components in their design:

• fuel bunker for one-time loading of large volumes of flammable materials;
• screw conveyor for regular transfer of fuel to the combustion chamber;
• complex automation responsible for the operation of the entire system.

The listed design elements provide the possibility of long-term combustion without additional maintenance of the boiler installation. To operate such equipment, human intervention is required no more than once every 1–2 weeks, and sometimes less often.

The automation also regulates the amount of fuel supplied, which depends on the current coolant temperature and the one set in the settings. When the bin is almost empty, the system notifies you to fill it.

Many models also feature the ability to automatically remove combustion products. That is, the entire process from ignition to cleaning in such units is carried out without human intervention.

5. Conclusion

Modern solid fuel boilers for heating a private home or cottage are quite efficient and reliable heating devices, which, in the absence of natural gas, demonstrate the highest economic performance. Another common area of ​​application for solid fuel boilers is as a backup heat source for a private home, the main heating system of which runs on natural or liquefied gas.

Many technological solutions, different types of solid fuel and different combustion principles create a lot of inconvenience for the unprepared consumer when choosing the optimal option for solid fuel heating equipment. Teplomatika engineers have prepared a small rating of the best solid fuel boilers, which will help the future owner of a private home make an informed and justified choice.

All modern solid fuel boilers, with a small degree of convention, can be divided into three main classes, each of which has characteristic technical differences:

• classic heating devices have an open combustion chamber for wood, coal or fuel briquettes. Boilers of this type operate on natural draft, and the regulator for changing the power is a mechanical valve control device. Boilers of this type are, as a rule, non-volatile, but the total combustion time of the fuel does not exceed several hours;
• a more advanced class of heating equipment is long-burning boilers. Increasing the time of complete combustion of fuel is achieved either by vertical loading of fuel, or by using pyrolysis of coal or wood during the combustion process. The operating time of such devices on one load can reach 12 hours;
• Fully automated solid fuel boilers operate on fine coal, for storage and supply of which a special bunker is installed on the boiler. The battery life of such devices is several days and depends only on the volume of the bunker. Pellet heating systems represent a separate type of heating equipment, the review and rating of which will be presented in a separate article.

Practical advice on choosing a boiler for heating a private home

• when calculating the required power, you can use the approximate formula - for 10 m² of heated area, 1 kW of heating device power is required;
• Do not blindly trust advertising indicators of the maximum burning time of one load of fuel. As a rule, the actual burning time parameters, at severe negative temperatures outside the window, are several times lower;
• when choosing a non-volatile boiler for systems with natural coolant circulation, it is better to exclude products with a cast iron heat exchanger. Cold return water, with the heat exchanger already heated, can lead to the formation of cracks at the point of its supply;
• long-burning heating equipment places very serious demands on the quality of fuel - the maximum moisture content of firewood should not exceed 15%;
• The volume of the ash box determines the frequency of its cleaning - the larger the volume, the less often it is necessary to remove ash;
• a small chimney and lack of ventilation in the boiler room often lead to smoke in the room due to the lack of sufficient draft. This feature determines a large number of negative reviews on various sites, but is in no way related to the quality of heating equipment;
• Not all heating devices allow the use of antifreeze as a coolant. In this regard, it is better to consult with a specialist or look for information on the manufacturers’ websites.

The rating of classic solid fuel boilers is presented by models from both foreign and domestic manufacturers. Ways to improve this type of technology lie in the plane of improving the quality of the metal used and designing an original shape of the combustion chamber, the design of which increases the burning time of the fuel.

Expert opinion: a good solution for automating solid fuel heating. Before purchasing, it is advisable to analyze the local market for the availability of fine coal.

Conclusion

The constant technical development of solid fuel heating systems determines the appearance on the market of quite expensive and high-tech devices, the operation of which no longer requires the constant presence of a person. Among the general trends in the solid fuel equipment market, it is worth noting a serious increase in sales of technically complex TT systems for heating country houses, as well as an increase in the number of installations of simple and inexpensive heating devices as a backup source of heat supply.

Types of boilers by type of fuel bunker

There are two types of loading devices: built-in fuel hopper and mechanized storage. The battery life and the area occupied by the boiler installation depend on which of them the unit is equipped with.

Built-in fuel hopper

Models with a built-in loading device are equipped with a container for solid fuel, which is located on top or on the side of the main chamber of the boiler. The advantage of this design is the relative compactness of the heating installation. However, in terms of battery life, models with a built-in bunker are inferior to units with mechanized fuel storage.

Mechanized fuel storage

Here, a separate room or part of a room with a connected flammable material supply system acts as a loading device. The volume of such storage is enough to accommodate a year's supply of fuel.

The models are distinguished by a complex electronic automatic control system, which fully regulates all work processes, as well as the presence of a remote control unit.

Automatic fuel supply methods

Based on the methods of fuel supply, units with a pneumatic conveyor and a screw transmission are distinguished.

The choice of design depends on:

• noise level during operation of the heating installation;
• power consumption;
• frequency of fuel delivery to the combustion chamber and other indicators.

Pneumatic conveyor

Combustible materials are delivered to the main chamber of the boiler using air, which is pumped under pressure. The advantage of such models is that fuel is supplied less frequently. As a result, the system will be able to operate without electricity for a longer time. However, the pneumatic conveyor makes more noise during operation and consumes a lot of electricity - about 1.5–2 kW/hour.

Screw transmission

This method is used in most household units and is considered the most reliable, but it is not ideal.

Feeding is carried out via a screw conveyor, which operates almost silently and consumes less electricity - about 80 W/hour. The feed speed is adjusted automatically.

The use of an auger guarantees the flow of fuel into the boiler, but if its length is more than 2 m, flammable materials are ground into dust.

Application and effectiveness

Coal boilers for heating a private home have found application in regions of Russia where there is no main gas supply, and there is also a shortage of other energy resources: firewood, electricity.

The popularity of coal is higher near major transport hubs, since large quantities of coal are mainly transported by rail.

In order to increase the efficiency of a coal boiler, it is necessary to perform a number of measures. They start by choosing a brand of coal. It is mined in mines and may contain 15-20% waste rock, which cannot burn and produces a lot of ash.

Unprocessed coal has an ash content of up to 30%. Therefore, for energy purposes, coal undergoes special processing at enrichment complexes, which increases the efficiency of units, for traditional coal devices up to 70-75%, and for automatic ones - almost up to 90%.

In addition, in order to increase the economical operation of the heating system of a house equipped with a coal-fired unit, it is necessary to take into account the following points:

1. Do not use raw coal, since a significant part of the energy from the thermal cycle will be used to dry it.
2. Monitor the condition of the chimney system and heating surfaces of the boiler; they must be clean.
3. Provide sufficient air. In the room where the unit is installed, there must be effective triple supply and exhaust ventilation.
4. Use thermostats in the operating circuit of an automatic coal boiler.
5. Effectively insulate your home.
6. Improve the in-house thermal circuit, install a circulation pump and an indirect hot water heating boiler.

Pellet automatic units

One of the most common types of heat generators is systems powered by wood pellets. The operating principle of pellet boilers is in many ways similar to other automatic units, but there are also characteristic features.

If you trace the similarities and differences, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of such models, it will be easier to choose the appropriate option.

Principle of operation

The basic design of pellet systems is no different from other common automatic heat generators. Combustible materials are loaded into the fuel bunker, from where they are gradually poured onto the screw conveyor. The shaft transfers the granules to the combustion chamber, where the coolants are heated.

Differences in operation can be seen at the fuel supply stage:

1. After starting the auger, the mechanism directs the pellets first into a flexible hose or plastic tube, which dumps the pellets into a dispenser.
2. In the metering device, the second shaft measures the required portions of fuel and moves them to the reed valve.
3. The gate opens and the pellets are dumped onto a third auger, which transfers a measured amount into the firebox.

The described algorithm may vary slightly depending on the implementation of a particular model.

Advantages

The economic and operational benefits of pellet heating systems are mainly related to the merits of the type of fuel used.

Wood pellets are not inferior to traditional combustible materials in terms of calorific characteristics, but have a number of advantages:

• lower cost;
• economical consumption, which leads to longer operating time without additional loading;
• increased environmental friendliness;
• minimum amount of combustion products in the ash pan.

As for the advantages of the boilers themselves, as a rule, they are smaller in size compared to units operating on other types of fuel.

Flaws

In addition to the listed advantages, there are also disadvantages.

Since the flame in most pellet models has a horizontal direction, overheating of the boiler structural elements may occur. In addition, the efficiency and power of such equipment is lower.

Automatic boilers running on wood chips and coal

This option of automatic units should be preferred by residents of regions where the cost of coal is comparable to the price of pellets. Otherwise, their operation will cost more.

The main advantage is higher efficiency rates. However, coal emits a significant amount of soot and tar, which leads to less environmental friendliness. Equipment maintenance is carried out more often, as more ash is released during combustion.

For coal boilers, there is a requirement for the size of combustible material granules: from 4 to 25 mm in diameter. This is necessary for the smooth operation of the screw conveyor.

Fuel for long-burning boilers

Certain grades of soft coal with low slagging levels will be required. Long-flame coal with a T fraction of 25 mm is preferable. At exhibitions, the operation of automatic long-burning boilers is demonstrated using this type of “black” fuel. In this case, you get a beautiful flame with large and long tongues.

However, as soon as a potential buyer tries to find out the brand of coal, company representatives assure that the boiler runs on Polish coal, which is called ECO-PEAS. And they assure: the boiler will work just as well using our coal, and most importantly, efficiently and economically.

In practice, things are different:

• the boiler is purchased and installed;
• they purchase affordable coal on the local market without focusing on its quality;
• and they don’t get the expected fire “like at an exhibition.”

Everything is explained simply. This boiler is not designed to operate on any kind of coal. In Poland, coal is sold in sorting bags, already screened/screened, indicating the calorie content and the desired fraction, which is suitable for a specific type of boiler. “Size” coal will cost more (20-30%) than what is sold on the local market. However, Polish coal burns with a bright flame, has high efficiency and excellent calorific value.

Recommendations for selection

Choosing the most suitable model depends on many factors. First of all, you need to decide on the type of fuel, prices for which may vary depending on the region.

After this, it is worth calculating the area that is available for installing the boiler system, and taking into account the wishes for battery life. This will help you determine the most appropriate dimensions of the boiler and the capacity of the fuel bunker, which will significantly narrow your search.

To take full advantage of the potential economic and operational benefits of automatic boilers, you need to pay attention to the following parameters when choosing:

• boiler power (must correspond to the area of ​​the heated room);
• availability of economical modes;
• demands on the quality of fuel, its ash content;
• reliability and safety of long-term battery life;
• reproduced noise in various modes;
• availability of automatic ignition and ash collection functions;
• electricity consumed;
• possibility of operation from rechargeable batteries;
• the size of the ash bin and the ease of cleaning it;
• efficiency of working with different types of fuel pellets and in different modes;
• the presence of a remote control or the ability to additionally connect it.

You also need to pay attention to the appearance of the boiler, including the quality of the welds.

Firewood and coal in TT boilers

Today, heating with coal in Russia is unprofitable, which cannot be said about wood heating. Firewood In many regions of Russia, firewood is cheaper than gas, but from a practical point of view it has noticeable disadvantages:

• firewood must be prepared correctly;
• fuel burns quickly in the furnace compartment, so the process must be controlled;
• If the fire burns out completely, you have to periodically add firewood to the boiler.

As an alternative, many people choose coal. This is also a solid fuel, and also cheaper than gas. If you buy an automatic long-burning solid fuel boiler with automation, you will solve the problem of saving money and time (you don’t have to be on duty at the firebox). However, it must be taken into account that not all coal is good for TKDG.
