Wood pellets in your house.
I?ve got a powerful desire to talk about woo pellets because environmental protection is the main concern in my life. Everybody knows that it?s impossible to continue with using fossil fuels till the end of the world. So there?s an urgent substitute for them. And we can consider wood pellets to be a perfect substitute for those traditional fuels mentioned above.

So let?s compare expenses for wood pellets and traditional fuels. In fact it?s not easy to make such a comparison. For example general expenses for gas heating is 3-4 times lower than heating with wood pellets. However, if you take into account the cost of new pipelines for gas supply then wood pellets will definitely win in this case.

Now let?s describe wood pellets. In general I can say that these tiny things are cylindrical in shape being pressed under high pressure. In many countries wood pellets are widely used as the primary fuel for automated boilers both for private and industrial purposes. In most cases people are satisfied with their enormous calorific value which is supposed to be comparable with the quality of coal and other similar fuels. I should emphasize that wood pellets are especially popular in Denmark, Austria and Sweden. These countries are also considered to be the real leaders in the production of the equipment for pellet combustion.

As for the dimensions of wood pellets they are usually 6-8 mm in diameter and 5-70 mm long, depending on numerous factors such as the quality of the production of wood pellets as well the raw materials, although it should be noted that there are wood pellets with other dimensions. In most cases the humidity of wood pellets is approximately 7-10%, which allows them to be successfully used in correspondent boilers. By the way I?d like to tell you one peculiar detail closely connected with wood pellets. The matter is that if you throw one pellet of high quality into the water it won?t sink. But bad wood pellets are likely to sink during this trial. May be it?s not so essential but it?s very interesting to learn.

It?s advisable to memorize that 1 kg of pellets can give us a considerable amount of energy which can reach up to 5 kW per hour. But at the same time you shouldn?t forget about the efficiency of the device where you burn them. I think that it?s very essential to know that this stuff isn?t likely to overflow in your home, contaminating everything and leaving behind an unpleasant smell. It goes without saying that it does not explode from an accidental spark. So there?s no need to be afraid of storing this stuff in your house. Just invite this stuff in your house.
