Ductable pellet stoves
What is a ducted pellet stove?
Ducted pellet stoves get their name from the way they evenly distribute heat throughout multiple rooms using a system of air ducts.With this type of heater, you can not only heat the desired room, but also channel hot air to other rooms through ducts to provide climate control. This is what differentiates ducted pellet stoves from traditional stoves: the way they expel hot air. The air is directed through previously installed ducts, distributing it to the different rooms of the house.
Ducted stoves are very useful if you want to heat several rooms in your house at the same time.
Biofuel: Pellets and Biomass
Biomass refers to organic matter that can be used as an energy source in a biological process, naturally or intentionally. Biomass fuel comes from plant waste.Pellets are small cylindrical granules made from compressed sawdust, wood shavings or other waste materials. They are a form of biofuel that can be used for heating.
The combustion of the pellets produces a high calorific value and minimal ash. They are used as biofuel to generate bioenergy. They are clean, easy to handle and take up little space. Therefore, they are a cost-effective and environmentally friendly fuel source.
Operation of ducted pellet stoves
Ducted pellet stoves have an internal pellet tank where the fuel enters the combustion chamber depending on the user's preferences and the temperature of the space. When the pellets are burned, the combustion gases are sent to a heat exchanger where they transfer their thermal energy to the air that is exhausted out of the stove. Unlike traditional pellet stoves, these stoves come with one or two additional outlets to channel the heat generated in the combustion chamber and redistribute it through the pipes to keep temperatures high in each room of our home.
How to duct a pellet stove
They only need a nearby power outlet and an exhaust outlet to operate. In this way, they distribute heat evenly and effectively in different rooms at the same time.
You will need specific pipes, plasterboard and accessories to remove soot.
First of all, you must create a waste disposal system using a pipe placed in the wall (which can be connected to a chimney). The residue is removed using specific tools to clean the soot. If you don't have a chimney, you can build it along an exterior wall with double-wall insulated stainless steel pipes. It is also recommended to build a door at the base of the chimney to collect the soot that forms during the operation of the stove.
To create the interior ducts, it uses special modern pipes made of plastic, polybutylene and polypropylene, which are corrosion-resistant materials and can withstand phenomena such as electrolysis. The tubes will be placed on the ground, under the pavement, for greater safety and comfort.
Next, place the tubes along the walls so as not to take up space. Create false columns, arches or plasterboard walls of different sizes to house and hide the pipes. Finally, it camouflages the presence of the tubes.
How many meters can a pellet stove heat?
A simple pellet stove is capable of heating a room of 50 square meters with a consumption that varies between 0.6 and 1.9 kg/h, depending on the difference between the selected temperature and that of the room, as well as the insulation quality.
What electricity consumption does a pellet stove have?
A stove of about 9.5 KW consumes between 800 g and 2 kg of pellets for each hour of operation. Due to its high calorific value, 1 kg of pellet is equivalent to 5 kW of electrical energy and 2 kg of pellet is equivalent to 1 liter of diesel. To operate a pellet stove for 7 hours straight, 15 kg is enough.
How many outlets does a Ductable pellet stove have?
Unlike traditional pellet stoves, these stoves come with one or two additional outlets to channel the heat produced in the combustion chamber and be able to redistribute it through the tubes to withstand high temperatures in each of the rooms of our home.
How many meters can a pellet stove be ducted?
In general, ducted pellet stoves can reach ducting distances of up to 10 to 15 meters
