System operation checks and settings adjustments.
- Cleaning of combustion chambers, burner grate, and flue system (including sweeping the flue).
- Inspection and cleaning of the pellet feed system such as the auger.
- Checking for leaks and ensuring system components like expansion vessels are functioning.
- Performance testing and recording operational parameters.
- Replacement or repair of worn components if necessary.
Service times can range up to several hours per visit, with costs varying depending on the size and capacity of the burner or boiler system. Regular servicing is essential to maintain manufacturer warranties and optimize fuel consumption and combustion efficiency.
Specifically for industrial biomass or wooden pellet burners:
- They often include variable frequency automatic feeding and ash removal systems.
- Maintenance is described as simple, enabling operation by one person.
- Weekly cleaning of burn pot and periodic checking of fans, motors, and heat exchangers is advised.
- Regular inspection of the auger and fuel feed mechanisms to prevent jams is important.
- Biomass burners are noted for high efficiency (around 95%) and substantial fuel and energy savings compared to oil and gas burners.
Costs and detailed service procedures vary by model and manufacturer but generally include cleaning, inspection, and performance testing to ensure emission standards and fuel efficiency are met, along with safety checks.
