What is the calorific value of the pellet fuel produced by the wood pellet machine? How is it produced? What are the characteristics? Application scope? TONY wood pellet machine manufacturer will answer your questions one by one.
1.The process of pellet fuel for wood pellet machines:
Pellet fuel is an environmentally friendly fuel made mainly from agricultural and forestry residues through processes such as cutting, crushing, grinding, granulation, drying, cooling and packaging. It has a high calorific value and complete combustion.
Pellet fuel is a clean and low-carbon renewable energy source. As a fuel for biomass combustion equipment such as biomass burners and biomass boilers, it features a long combustion time, intensified combustion, high furnace temperature, and is economical and practical. At the same time, it causes no pollution to the environment and is an excellent and environmentally friendly fuel to replace conventional fossil energy.
2. Characteristics of pellet fuel from wood pellet machines:
(1)Green energy is clean and environmentally friendly: It burns without smoke or odor, and is clean and environmentally friendly. Its sulfur content, ash content, nitrogen content, etc. are much lower than those of coal, oil, etc. It has zero carbon dioxide emissions and is an environmentally friendly and clean energy source, enjoying the reputation of "green coal".
(2) Low cost and high added value: The usage cost is much lower than that of petroleum energy. It is a clean energy source that the state strongly advocates as a substitute for oil and has a broad market space.
(3) Increased density and convenient storage and transportation: The formed fuel after molding has a small volume, high specific gravity and high density, which is convenient for processing, conversion, storage, transportation and continuous use.
(4) High efficiency and energy saving: It has a high calorific value. The calorific value of 2.5 to 3 kilograms of wood pellet fuel is equivalent to that of 1 kilogram of diesel, but the cost is less than half of that of diesel, and the burnout rate can reach over 98%.
(5)Wide application and strong applicability: Formed fuel can be widely used in industrial and agricultural production, power generation, heating and warming, boiler burning, cooking, and is suitable for both units and families.
3. Application scope of pellet fuel:
Pellet fuel processed by pellet machines replaces traditional petrochemical energy sources such as diesel, heavy oil, natural gas and coal, and is used as fuel for thermal energy equipment such as boilers, drying equipment and heating furnaces.
The pellets made from wood raw materials have a low calorific value of 4,300 to 4,500 kcal/kg.
4. What is the calorific value that pellet fuel can reach?
For instance, various types of pine wood (such as red pine, white pine, larch, fir, etc.) and hard miscellaneous wood (such as oak, ash, elm, etc.) have a weight of 4,500 kcal per kilogram. Soft miscellaneous woods (such as poplar, birch, fir, etc.) are 4,300 kcal/kg. The lower calorific value of straw pellets is 3000 to 3800 kcal/kg. Bean stalks, cotton stalks, peanut shells, etc. 3,800 kcal/kg; Corn stalks, rapeseed stalks, etc. 3,700 kcal/kg; The weight of wheat straw is 3,500 kcal per kilogram. The content of potato straw is 3,400 kcal/kg. The rice stalks are 3,000 kcal/kg. This data is for reference only. As long as the particle composition is slightly different, the calorific value quantity will not be the same.
However, in conclusion, the pelletizing process of wood pellet machines is a physical change process that does not fundamentally alter the nature of the materials, and thus does not change the calorific value of the materials either.
The TONY wood pellet machine has a high usage rate and is often used to press the abundant local wood raw materials and convert crop straw, bringing considerable economic benefits.
