Wood Heating
As a fuel, wood is a renewable, inexpensive and domestic source of energy. Wood heating is an environmentally friendly method of heating single-family houses that has gone through rapid development during the last few years.
The wood to be burnt in wood heating must have dried longer than a year, in order to be able to use the heat energy contained by wood as effectively as possible. The use of too moist wood increases the need of cleaning the wood heating boiler and flue gas emissions, reducing the operating efficiency of the boiler, thus increasing wood consumption. The burning of wood always causes a small amount of fine particle emissions, even though wood is a neutral source of energy, with regard to carbon dioxide emissions.
In addition to the traditional upper combustion boiler (Jäspi 40 YPV), the Jäspi wood boiler product range contains very effective, wood saving and environmentally friendly reversed combustion boilers (Jäspi Econature and Ecopuu 25), minimizing emissions caused by wood heating. Jäspi wood boilers are always connected to charge an energy charger. The size of a charger is always determined according to the building to be heated and the used wood boiler. The charger reduces the work amount related with heating, improving the energy efficiency of the heating system. A heat pump, solar or electric heating may also be connected to a charger, for supporting or parallel heating.
