How do wood fired boilers work?

Question

Accepted Answer

Wood-fired boilers heat water by burning wood and developing energy to supply heat at homes, businesses, and institutions. The method starts when wood fuel is introduced to a firebox and torched, and the fire heats the surrounding water, which is typically aided by a heat exchanger. This heated water is then spread through pipes to radiators or underfloor heating systems, delivering warmth throughout the room. In modern wood gasification boilers, the wood burns from below. An air control system limits the amount of oxygen that enters the chamber; hence, it manages the burn rate. Hot exhaust from the combustion chamber goes into the heat exchanger to maximize heat transfer to the water, and the water, once heated, is pumped through the heating system before returning to the boiler for reheating. Some boilers have a feature that cleans the heat exchange area to maintain high efficiency.
