Do you own a biomass
pellet, chip, log or bale boiler?
Is your biomass
boiler located in a cold outbuilding or shed?
Is your biomass
boiler currently wasting heat?
The Biomass Boiler
Cosy can help to reduce heat loss and reduce fuel consumption
The Biomass Boiler
Cosy Is easy to fit and remove for cleaning and maintenance
We have recorded a
13.9% reduction in fuel consumption
Over a 24H run that's
a saving of 9.84 kg of premium grade wood fuel pellets
The Boiler Cosy is
made from a woven glass fibre fabric with a silicone rubber coating.
The insulation is mineral wool with bright class aluminium foil
facing.
The Biomass Boiler
Cosy For Pellet, Chip, Log and Bale Boilers
We noticed that our
Tatano pellet boiler was loosing heat through its front door when at
operating temperature. Many biomass boilers share a similar design
where hot exhaust gases pass against the inner surface of the door
before they pass through horizontal heat exchanger tubes. However
the door lining used which is fire and temperature resistant does not
provide the best insulation. As you can see from the video above the
surface temperature of the door reaches over 200 degrees Celsius!
Therefore we developed the Biomass Boiler Cosy.
Where Is Your Biomass
Boiler Located?
Unlike oil or gas boilers
many biomass boilers are located in an outbuilding as they require more
cleaning and maintenance. These outbuildings and sheds are often not
insulated and the colder the room temperature the more load on the
biomass boiler. Therefore the issue of heat loss through the
doors/exterior of the biomass boiler is made even more significant.
How To Measure If You
Are Loosing Heat
Through touch alone
(which is not advised) you cannot really tell how significant the
heat loss might be. The best solution is to purchase an infrared
temperature gun as seen in the video. These can be purchased quite
cheaply on websites such as eBay and Amazon. While some are more
accurate than others it will provide enough information to identify
which areas of your wood/biomass pellet, chip, log or bale boiler
can be improved with the Boiler Cosy.
What Type Of Heating
System Can The Boiler Cosy Be Used On?
There are many different
types of biomass boiler and many different sizes. Some furnaces are
highly insulated over all surfaces, however these tend to be premium
wood pellet boilers. Biomass boilers which are more fuel flexible
and have large access doors generally can reduce fuel consumption
with a Boiler Cosy. We provide the Boiler Cosy custom designed to
your boiler, therefore we can accommodate pellet, chip, log and even
large straw bale boilers.
What Will Be The
Reduction In Fuel Consumption?
This is obviously
dependant on the amount of heat loss from the boiler, the surface
area of heat loss and the room temperature where the boiler is
located. The higher the surface temperature, the larger the surface
area and the colder the room temperature the more significant the
benefits will be from fitting a Boiler Cosy. From our tests once the
boiler was at operating temperature we recorded a 13.9% reduction
in fuel consumption. Over a 24 hour period of operation this
equates to a saving of 9.84 kg of premium wood fuel pellets.
How Much Money Can The
Boiler Cosy Save?
Again this varies on a
case by case basis on the fuel consumption reduction the Boiler Cosy
can achieve and the price you currently pay for your biomass fuel.
In our example we purchased loose premium grade wood pellets via
blown tanker delivery. Including delivery the wood pellets cost £200
per tonne. Boiler Cosy over a 24 hour run saves us £1.97.
Is The Biomass Boiler
Cosy Easy To Fit?
Each Boiler Cosy is
specially designed to the shape of the boiler to provide a good fit
while making it easy to fit and remove the Boiler Cosy for the
regular cleaning and maintenance that biomass heating systems
require. We will work with you to design the cover around handles,
cables, vents and control panels. Where possible we also source
manufacturer dimensions.
What Is The Biomass
Boiler Cosy Made From?
The materials used to
produce the Boiler Cosy depend on the surface temperature of the
boiler. For example in the video at the top of the page the surface
temperature reached just over 200 degrees Celsius. Therefore the
exterior of the cover is made from woven glass fibre fabric with a
silicone rubber coating which can tolerate up to 280 degrees
Celsius. The insulation within the Boiler Cosy is glass mineral wool
with bright class aluminium foil facing on one side to deflect heat
back at the boiler. The Biomass Boiler Cosy provides excellent insulation, is very durable and should provide many years of reduced biomass
heating costs.
