If you seriously think about the question,what fuel is better to choose for heating your home, then consider several of its varieties to study the positive and negative sides. If you own a suburban real estate or a house in the city, then a boiler can be installed in your housing. Perhaps you have already equipped the boiler room and are selecting the equipment for it.
Разные модели таких устройств могут использовать a certain type of fuel. Some of them are more economical, while others are cheaper to buy. Technical progress has gone a long way, so if you have not already purchased boiler equipment, then you can choose the model that works on the most beneficial form of fuel.
When choosing boiler fuel, you can drawattention to heat pumps and solar energy. To date, this direction of alternative energy is the most promising and young. From the point of view of environmental protection, this decision will be the best choice. In addition, solar energy has zero cost. However, equipment that operates on the principle of solar energy conversion is the most expensive, and the efficiency with this transformation is one of the lowest.
Thus, the share of solar heating in the totalthe system will not exceed 10% in the winter. As for the heat pump, it requires a huge amount of electrical energy, and this pleasure is quite expensive. Such devices operate at temperatures up to -15 ° C. If the thermometer's column drops below, then the consumer will have to use an electric heater to heat the coolant - this approach can not be called economical.
If you choose boiler fuel, you canpay attention to briquettes and leftovers from sawnwood. This option is quite advantageous, for it you can use an old wood-burning boiler. Briquettes have a rectangular shape, so they are convenient to store and pawn. When they are burned, less soot and smoke form.
По сравнению с дровами цена киловатта тепла will be higher. You can buy such briquettes in any specialized goods store. However, they burn quite quickly, so they have to be stacked every 4 hours.
A solid fuel boiler can useFirewood, which at one time was one of the popular among the varieties of other fuels. Today it's quite rare to find houses with boiler houses on firewood. And an impressive area to heat this way is unlikely to work. The remaining boilers on firewood live out their time and change to equipment operating on another type of fuel. The consumer in time understands that it is not only difficult, but also expensive, to get dry firewood. As for Europe, it is prohibited to use firewood there.
As fuel oil can makecoal. He, like firewood, is becoming less popular. Among the advantages can be identified low cost and energy intensity, but the disadvantages are much greater. It is quite difficult to lay and store coal, the remains of burning can not be left on the territory of the house, and the smell and smoke turn the dwelling into a hub station for the sorting of trains. Coal is quite fire dangerous, it can catch fire on its own. Today it is used only in the conditions of state enterprises, factories and factories.
Liquid fuel for boilers can beIt is represented by working off, it is inexpensive, it can even get it for free. This fuel is energy intensive, but today there are no branded boilers that would function to work out. Equipment can be redone manually, then it will be able to burn the oil mixture. You just have to find a setup professional.
But positive features do not compensatethe content of poisonous antifreeze in the oil, and the efficiency of the boiler is not able to reach a maximum. The equipment will smoke, and the smell will be even worse than the one that is formed in the case of coal. Keep processing is quite fire dangerous, so it's worth considering about the expediency of using it.
Diesel fuel boiler room today is enoughis common. The material is quite expensive, but this does not prevent him from being popular. After reviewing the assortment of boiler equipment, you can find a variety of models designed for this type of fuel. Models are large in size and equipped with a fuel tank. Therefore, to install the device will have to allocate a large boiler room, which must meet certain characteristics.
Among the positive features of this fuelIt is possible to distinguish fire protection and automation of the units. But such boilers are quite expensive to maintain, and for 1 kW of heating you will have to pay an impressive amount. If you have a house with an area of 250 m2then its annual heating will cost more than 100,000 rubles.
The boiler room on gaseous fuel will workin automatic mode. It has a high efficiency and minimal emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere. 1 kW of heat in this case is also expensive, but for some consumers gaseous fuel is one of the best.
Gas-fired boiler room can work formain power supply account. The cost of such fuel in Russia is the lowest compared with other countries. The equipment has the highest efficiency, it is safe and automated, its work is not accompanied by the emission of smoke and smell.
The quickest and easiest way to heat a houseis electricity. There are no emissions to the atmosphere, there is no need to allocate a place for fuel storage, besides, electric boilers are compact and inexpensive. But in this case there are shortcomings that make the owners think about changing the boiler or turn their attention when buying a new one for other types of boiler equipment. The main disadvantage is the rather high cost of electrical energy, perhaps this disadvantage will be decisive for you.
Pellets are often used as boiler fuel today. Their popularity has recently increased. Natural resource in this case are:
Over the past decade, the model range of boilers onpellets expanded. Their efficiency reaches 93%. The equipment is fire-safe and automated, its dimensions usually do not exceed the dimensions of the washing machine.
Installation of the boiler can be carried outdirectly in the house. By purchasing pellets, you can transport them in bags of 15-20 kg. You can store fuel in any dry room. The work of the boiler is almost not accompanied by the formation of smoke and smell. The only disadvantage of this type of fuel is the high cost. However, many manufacturers today are trying to correct this disadvantage, realizing boilers at an affordable cost.
As a backup fuel for the boiler room canperform liquefied petroleum gas. Its use has many advantages, among which it should be emphasized that there is no need to heat the storage park in the winter, it significantly reduces operating costs. To steal such fuel is much more difficult, for Russian conditions this fact is also not unimportant. And for the consumer, the transition from natural gas to the described mixture will be almost imperceptible, because it takes place almost instantly.
