At Techwin, we import and manufacture both steam boilers and firewood boilers. A customer is advised on
the type of boiler that will better suit the site based on the nature of the business they run.
What is a Firewood Boiler?
A wood boiler is designed to operate on firewood or similar combustible substances. These boilers burn firewood in a controlled chamber to generate heat, which is then transferred to a water tank or directly to the house for heating purposes. Unlike fossil-fueled boilers, wood boilers rely on renewable wood fuel, offering advantages in terms of fuel costs, carbon emissions, and supporting the local economy. Our basic wood-fired boiler consists of two chambers, an ash box, a water supply, and return connections and a control system. During operation, firewood is loaded into the primary chamber, where it ignites and begins to burn. The gases released from combustion are drawn into the secondary chamber, where they continue to burn, maximizing heat output. Heat transfer tubes exchange heat with the water pipes to produce hot water for various applications.
Advantages of Firewood Boilers:
- Lower costs: The price of many energy sources is continuously going up including oil prices and electricity bills. Wood boilers continue to become more sustainable as an option for heating water in homes, institutions, and businesses.
- Simple living and energy independence: With wood being a readily available, local resource, boilers allow customers to reduce their dependence on electricity.
