Expert technical guidance from factory manufacturer hardwoodindustry.org on Wood Pellet Combustion Chemistry: Primary Air, Lambda Sensor & Flue Gas.
1. Primary vs Secondary Combustion Air
Primary air gasifies wood pellets on the burner grate, while secondary air injects oxygen to combust volatile gases completely above 800°C.
Expert Tip:
Certified ENplus A1 pellets with moisture under 7% and ash below 0.38% provide maximum heating value and prevent boiler clinkering.
2. The Role of the Lambda Oxygen Sensor
Modern boilers use lambda sensors in the flue pipe to continuously modulate draft fans, maintaining optimal air-fuel ratios and peak 92% efficiency.
3. Low Flue Gas Emissions
Complete combustion of pure virgin wood minimizes carbon monoxide and particulate emissions, complying with strict EcoDesign standards.
Key Takeaways:
- Certified ENplus A1 quality ensures maximum calorific heat and clean combustion.
- Proper storage and boiler maintenance preserve equipment warranty coverage.
