Burn Wood Not Your Savings

Providing Alternative Solutions To Mainstream Heating Since 2006.

Boiler Types Explained

Manual multi fuel biomass manually loaded boilers.

 The manual multi fuel boilers units are the starter multi fuel range of boilers. They have no electronic aides to control their operation, thus require no electricity to work.

They are made of purpose made 5-6mm steel, with inner jackets and external insulation to maximise efficiency.

Applications of these wood burner units can vary as in principle they heat water, key note to remember. If you are looking for a coal / wood solid fuel boiler that can be filled up 1-3 times a day, they are suited for a workshop or domestic building were user is available to manually control and adjust flue draw.

These units do require good draft from flue / chimney as there is no air fan assistance.

From experience of using one expect to visit these multi fuel boilers every 1-3 hrs and refill 4-7hrs (if machine was sized correctly), although very little maintenance is required.
Temperature adjustment is via thermostatic valve controlling opening lift on the bottom door which in term controls quantity of oxygen boiler is being fed with.
Ash emptying every 5-10 days, general cleaning once every 4-6 weeks.
Perfect for off grid applications.

Semi automatic multi fuel biomass manually loaded boilers.

biomass central heating and hot water boilers


Bridging the gap between multi fuel manual boilers and dual fuel automated pellet fueled machines, these semi automated manually loaded log burners are the ideal heating solution for user looking to burn wide variety of solid fuels.

Bearing similarity to manual range of boilers, these multifuel wood and coal burners are equipped with intelligent fan control. The controller maximizes efficiency output by activating, among other features, circulating pump and forced fed air supply fan, in turn this allows for a true multi fuel capability to be explored to its full potential. Clean house hold waste such as potato skins, can now be mixed with variety of fuels such as logs, seasoned or fresh cut, coal, shavings, pellets, peat,turf, waste garden and wood waste.

The intelligent fan control allows 'fill up and forget' type approach making a good use out of the fire box volume. Looking at a 50kw WBI unit, the realistic refill times are around 10-16 hours, this due to the fire box size of around 205 litres. Once the temperature is reached the burner goes in to the idle mode, allowing the boiler to sit simmering away and storing any un-burned fuel for up to 20 minutes, after which it will blast air through to keep itself alight, until the demand for heat is requested again.

Further increase in fuel refill times can be achieved by adding a hot water store, commonly known as the accumulator or buffer tank. This type of system, although not essential for correct boiler operation can achieve heat availability of up to 72hrs from one fill in normal domestic conditions.

The semi automatic multi fuel boiler range of machines are currently best sellers, they are easy to use and have true multi fuel capability with almost incinerator like burn characteristics.

Boiler applications
Domestic and commercial premises, these multi fuel boilers require daily input, have build in temperature control and can be used as a direct central heating and hot water oil and gas boiler replacement. Ash emptying every 5-10 days, general cleaning once every 4-6 weeks.
Fuel Used
Manually loaded - Logs, shrubs, general clean waste, pellets, coal, wood waste in any form.

 

Dual fuel automated wood pellet, biomass and auto feed boilers with manual loading capability.

Wood Pellet duo Defro boilers burn logs and slack pellets for sale madaboutheat.com

Burning of solid fuel or biomass pellets, has never been easier and hassle free. Our Automated Boilers range of machines cater for all budgets, all offering quality and efficiency they are quickly becoming top choice for customers looking for viable alternative to oil and gas heating systems.

Our range of dual fuel boilers are able to burn fuel up to a cubic inch in volume through auto feeder as well having capability to burn manually loaded fuel like wood and wood produce.

They all have multi fuel capability, what it means is that they are able to burn logs and log sized fuel, including shrubs, coal, light domestic and commercial waste, this is done manually and is performed via the middle door of these machines. The refill times for manually loaded solid fuels is around 2-3 hrs.

No adjustments to controller are necessary, when in auto mode, boiler will use fuel stored in the hopper as primary heat source, then for example if the logs are loaded through middle door, the controller will automatically retard feeding of pellets.

Emptying of ashes is typically between 4-6 weeks, performed via bottom door, general cleaning maintenance every 3-4 months through upper door, process takes 10-15 minutes.

Fuel Used
Via Hopper – pellet, slack, pea coal, coal, grain (max size 20x20x20 mm)

Manually loaded - Logs, shrubs, general clean waste, pellets, coal, wood waste in any form.

Fully automated wood pellet boilers.  

pellet boiler and hopper, automatic pellet boiler

Top of the range of solid fuel boilers range are these fully automated wood pellet boilers. They are auto feed, auto ignition, self cleaning boilers that are direct replacement for traditional oil or gas boilers.
They are equipped with smart controller monitoring water temperature and adjust burn rate and intensity accordingly.
So just set target temperature and the boiler will do the rest.
Primary Fuel
Wood pellets.

 

Hot air blowers space heaters.

The multi fuel space heaters are our warmest addition to multi fuel, log and coal burning machines. Oil and gas powered space air heaters have been around for a while, however their size and their costs made potential users turn away and look for a solution elsewhere.

We are happy to be bringing these multi fuel hot air blowing wood burners on to UK market and offering these quality commercial and domestic heating products at a very competitive price. They require small floor space when installed and fully operational.

Solid no nonsense design with very little in terms of electronics apart from a fan and thermostat.

The red multifuel powered air to air space heater models are an excellent solution to cold air in warehouses or open spaces. The DABI range has a true multi fuel capability, with manual loading the fuel can be shrubs, chipboard, timber, coal, pellets and others, with large firebox, not only big pieces can be loaded but reloading time greatly extended.

Yellow space heater units are taking different approach, the ABI multifuel wood pellet boiler and air heater utilises pelleted as well as solid fuel to heat water that is circulated and part of a system as well as internal water to air heat exchanger to function as a space heater. They are industrial in size and performance, producing vast amounts of heat. Primary fuel is fed from hopper, mounted on the side, filled with small pea coal or wood pellets, its fed using auger to the fire box then burned.

The yellow multi fuel heaters can heat water and air, both at the same time so a split heating system is possible.


ALL of our multifuel air space heating blower machines are made of EN standard, quality heavy gauge steel and have a mass of around 400 kg for 30kW DABI heater.

Fuel Used
Via Hopper – pellet, slack, pea coal, coal (max size 20x20x20 mm)

Manually - Logs, shrubs, general clean waste, pellets, coal, wood waste in any form.
