Charlmers & Co are chartered surveyors and architects based near Edinburgh. They has just installed a Windhager BioWin biomass pellet boiler in to their Georgian office building. The building was previously the British Linen Bank, in addition to the old stone vault has now been converted into the pellet stove for the boiler. With a large external hopper feeding the Windhager wood pellet boiler makes it one of the first of its kind in the UK. The installation of the large pellet store will mean loading the wood pellet boiler manually will not be required. Alliteratively, a pellet tanker will produce delivers quite a few times a year to fill the store. A redundant fireplace plus pipe was adapted for the Windhager wood pellet boiler to use. The BioWin is linked to out door thermostat which monitors the exterior
temperature. Based on the settings of the pellet boiler, it will monitor the exterior temperature as well as provide ample heat without wasting fuel pellets.

The Windhager BioWin biomass pellet boiler can provide a warmth output ranging from 3-78KW. The BioWin selection also features automated cleaning features of the burn pot plus heat exchanger. Ash removal from the burn pot into the ash bin is also automated. The integrated computer display on the boiler will provide messages on the next time ash removal is required. The Windhager boiler can also be combined by way of additional heat sources such as solar thermal. The clients have stated that despite the fee of the Windhager BioWin boiler exceeding the usual costs of a oil or gas system, using the biomass incentives in place, substantial savings were made. For instance, almost half of the total price of the installation was funded by means of the Forestry Commission under the Scottish Biomass Warmth Scheme. The remainder of the costs were covered with an interest free loan from the Fuel Saving Confidence. The clients are very happy with the Windhager BioWin biomass pellet boiler through the environmental payback, as well as how they are helping diminish the strain on the earths finite untreated resources.

The Windhager wood pellet boiler range is focused on growing process automation to decrease required maintenance. Under the correct circumstances this automated features work perfectly well. Though, changes in fuel ash content can cause these automated features issues. Also the Windhager wood pellet boiler selection features a drop down burn pot. Drop down burn pots as you will see from the pellet stove in addition to boiler guide are the most susceptible to incineration complications such as increased ash content along with clinker formations. For example, sometimes owing to the high efficiency of a pellet fire along with the temperatures the fire exceeds the ash may begin to melt. When this happens the ash forms a solid glass like mass known as a clinker. Ash removal from a drop down burn pot is carried out purely by way of the movement of the incineration air. Yet a clinker has an increased density and weight compared to loose ash, therefore the combustion air will not remove the clinker, which will remain in the burn pot. This will eventually cause the boiler to fail.
