Solid fuel boilers are an excellent alternative in the absence of gas communications. To date, they have not yet outlived their usefulness and are in demand. These units are equipped with a large number of practical functions, in addition, they are attractive for their design and easy operation.
Heating boilers can significantly save money. In particular, they are used in private houses, cottages and various workshops. They are attractive because the materials used for fuel are widespread: coal, firewood, straw, pellets, peat and fuel mixtures - this natural fuel is not in short supply, thereby significantly helping to save on heating. A solid fuel boiler is an independent and practical source of heat.
Modern heating devices are automated, which includes:
- Safety sensors.
- Temperature sensors.
- Automation system.
Safety comes first and has received significant attention. Based on this, we can conclude: heating devices are a reliable device, during the operation of which there is no threat to health. Available in a wide range of prices, it's not just a privilege for the wealthy, there are plenty of budget options that are practical and functional as well.
The only disadvantage of using solid fuel boilers is the need for a constant supply of materials and space for their storage. You will also have to equip the boiler with wood from time to time - every 4–8 hours - the frequency depends on the boiler model. But all these minimal inconveniences are covered by the fact that this is an economical and affordable heating option for everyone.
They are divided into several types, their type depends on the material from which they were made. For cast iron and steel.
The advantage of cast iron boilers is their durability and strength. Such a boiler will heat up for a long time, but it will also cool down longer, which will provide heat in the room for a longer time. Its main and only drawback is that such a boiler is vulnerable to temperature changes. Thus, its edges begin to gradually deteriorate, and this may eventually disable the boiler.
Steel boilers are not vulnerable to temperature extremes, but they are not as durable as cast iron boilers. Over time, they begin to gradually rust, which puts them out of action. But such devices are much cheaper than cast iron boilers. The service life of such a boiler depends on the quality of the material from which it was made, as well as on careful handling.
Also, these types mean various subspecies that work differently and their quality from
